This article was has blown the situation out of proportion. Everything was done properly and the manager knew exactly what was coming. He is just trying to make sure he doesn't get fired. The party was a blast. It is pathetic that 21-22 year olds can't handle themselves in a nice environment.

From what I could see most atendees of the Homecoming Dance were well behaved. But when you have 600 college students drinking, there are going to be a few that do stupid, distugusting things that impune the whole group.

Who is the "individual" they keep referring to in the voice article on homecoming damage?

That's a pretty low threshold for success if you claim that doing nearly $7K of damage to a very nice private club, not being invited back, and getting negative media attention is all acceptable in the course of having a good time and raising some money for charity. The event itself is a good idea - the people who ran it had no supervision and showed a lot of immaturity IMO.

Supervision??? In what sense?
Immaturity? Explain.

Supervision - There was no one from the University or from any other organization there to say that not having the adequate amount of security and a completely unrestricted open bar was probably a bad idea on Homecoming Weekend.
Immaturity - Blaming the club's complaints on the exact people that GEC worked with. That's seriously burning some bridges and taking no public responsibility for the damages that were incurred other than saying despite them everyone had a good time.

Isn't the general sentiment around campus that the administration always gets in the way of student activities? Now, you want the university to come into play here and say, "No open bar?"

It seems to me that this was handled poorly b/c there was indequate security. It wasn't the open bar that was the problem, it was the lack of enough security, so that when a small group of people went absolutely nuts, there wasn't enough security to deal with them.
A normal club or bar wouldn't have this problem--GEC should have made sure that there was enough security people that the bad apples would have been thrown out prior to the problems.
But they didn't, and thus gave the administration/residents another reason to think that students can't/shouldn't be trusted around alcohol. And I hate that I'm sounding so sanctimonious here, but it's possible to have thrown a very similar party that would have been a ton of fun (with an equal amount of alcohol) and not caused thousands of dollars in damages and provide ammo to anyone that argues students can't be trusted.
Also, there was no way in hell that that party consisted solely of 21+ people.
