associate professor of social relations said i've even had students fall asleep in my friday morning classes there was a general agreement of the forum subcommittee that weekend par ties could continue after 2 a.m if alcohol were not being served anymore although the limited number of open parties allowed for each house was cited by colligan as a cause for larger more crowded parties the subcommittee sup ported continuance of the three parties per semester rule colligan summed up one of the sub committee's reasons for maintaining this rule by saying because the wee kend after the
