HopStop experiment successful - Students respond well to Saturday night's event
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 News-Letter article reports on the Student Council’s Saturday-night HopStop opening and students’ responses to the event.
- The paper reported that the party began at 9 p.m., included live bands and a DJ, and drew about 800 students, although the Great Hall held 300 people.
- The article says drinks cost $1.50 each, were tracked with bracelets, and were limited to four per student as a safety measure.
- The reporter writes that an anonymous student called HopStop “an awesome dance club” and said they would return.
- According to the article, HopStop used a contracted vendor’s liquor license and added precautions against underage and unsafe drinking while aiming to bring back the former E-Level venue.
- The paper reported that organizers were planning another event in two weeks, with new televisions, and that President Atin Agarwal said student response had been great.
