Contraband

"FIGHT THE MAN!!! SHOVE IT UP HIS ASS WITH NO LUBE!!", attendees of the "Contraband" party cried. Well... not really. But they thought it! On Saturday night, members of the 7th, 15th, and 16th floor rallied together in a party to protest against the RA's that had written them up for "possession of alcohol" and "excessive noise" the weekend before. In response to the write up, the protesters made a faux-party that created the illusion of a real party WITHOUT the actual "party". "We were making a statement. We wanted the RA's to look like idiots when they came into our room", Bridget Cichello, one of the "Contraband" creators says. There was a turnout of over 20 SOBER people helping to make the "party" a success. Shirts were made, fake joints filled with leaves were rolled, and Smarty's were crushed to create "sweet cocaine".

Everyone drank root beer out of brown plastic bags and red cups to make it look like a real booze fest. "The party began at around 8 o'clock and ended around 9 o'clock when the RA's finally came into the room," Cichello says. The RA's marched into the 7th floor room at exactly 9:03 PM, three minutes after the "Contraband" party was said to begin. The RA's came into the room suspecting the worst as red cups, brown bags, lines of "cocaine", and joints were scattered throughout the room. "They asked us to show them the alcohol and to bring them the drugs. We just smiled at them because we had nothing on us," Cichello says. As the RA's left the room baffled and humiliated, the party cheered and finally ended. They stuck it to the man... and came out with a sugar high. Until next time...
