Students flock to Fell’s Point for Halloween
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 “sga”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article reports on student travel to Fell’s Point for Halloween and the SGA-sponsored buses provided for the event.
- The News-Letter reported that about 390 to 480 students took SGA-sponsored buses to Fell’s Point.
- The paper reported that three buses ran from Mason Hall starting at 10 p.m. and returned students to Homewood between midnight and 1 a.m.; students staying later had to arrange their own rides.
- The article says Janice Bonsu described the buses as a way to transport students safely together, including students who might have been drinking.
- The reporter writes that some students said there was not enough space on the buses; Becky Marcus wrote, “This isn’t the first time I’ve nearly gotten trampled trying to get to a Hopkins bus. It happens every year at Fell’s, and it happened at Ke$ha,”
- The article adds that 98 Rock held a costume contest in Fell’s Point Square, with prizes including a Las Vegas trip, ski passes and a gift card.
