The MSU basketball team is on a race towards he final four of the NCAA basketball tournament. This year is special in that the Spartans play all their games in the midwest.
Along with the team's advances comes the administration's guidelines on "celebrating". This comes as a reaction to "riots" that have become synonymous with MSU,much to the administration's dismay.
The funniest thing about cedarfest last year were the flyers sent out in the dorms prior to it. The flyers essentially told us that our first amendment right to assemble (on both public AND private property) was gone. I believe that it like all parties, it would have fizzled out on its own due to a combination of drunken fatigue and hunger. the mere presence of police in riot gear combined with the students' expectations of the police to use that gear made cedarfest a self-fufilling prophecy of students, police, and university officials.
