JHU enjoys a Fell's tradition
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers Hopkins students’ Halloween trips to Fell’s Point and the tradition around them.
- The News-Letter reported that Fell’s Point draws large Halloween crowds, including Hopkins students, and can be reached by cab or buses organized by Student Council.
- The paper reported that students see the trip as a Hopkins tradition and quoted Margaret Paek and Greg Gottimer describing curiosity and advice from upperclassmen as reasons to go.
- The article adds that Cara Merriman found the visit worthwhile, while Greg Gottimer said some students under 21 became bored because the bars were restricted to people 21 and older.
- The reporter writes that Kiran Valiani described a past night involving a friend being punched, and Merriman advised going with friends, staying in control and being aware of the surroundings.
- The article says that Fell’s bars are strict about identification, so a fake California ID may not be accepted.
