1. It's also an objectively better party space than Paces. The Breakfast room is a bigger dance floor than that of Paces (or DU, for that matter), and the narrow staircases are no worse than the same in those buildings. It just also happens to be a much more popular party than, say, the International Club's. So the space issue, well... isn't

1. Yeah, Paces is a pretty bad place for parties too. I've never really understood why we have them there either. But regardless of whether or not you like Paces, the crush on the breakfast room stairs is still extremely slow and uncomfortable. Also, this year, someone fell down the narrow, steep breakfast room-basement stairs and got hurt. If it were just partygoers, then maybe (okay, probably not) I could understand; but what if you're an RA and you need to get from Point A to Point B really really fast?
2. At least one person got cited this year--the cops caught her peeing outside. As for the off-campus-ness, my point isn't that no one comes; it's that it would be more convenient for the party to happen on campus, and would eliminate the exasperating shuttle/bus system and the threat of citation, which affects partygoers' behavior a good deal

Then what would be a good space for parties? The only spaces I can think of that might be better for a party are also better for other things (performances, large meetings -- i.e. Upper Tarble) that they really desperately try to keep parties from being held there so that stuff doesn't get ruined.
Okay, no more parties.
People like it because it's the one chance people have to see those weird folks in ML.
Exactly, because kids from ML always have and always will belong to one culture which doesn't otherwise party, have friends in other dorms, or otherwise spend time on campus, ever. Especially you. *points tentacle at random ML denizen* Thanks to the party, campus gets a great view of whoever is beating crowds back from the stairs, warding off the police, hauling drunks to the shuttle …. Partygoers with X-ray vision or the initiative to climb ricerurouni's fire escape can get an even better view of frustrated Swillies huddled in their dorm rooms, or escaping to campus to play board games. Yes, the ML Halloween party is a great way to bring

...As I seem to recall, people living in Willets didn't seem to be particularly inhibited by the fact they lived there.
Also that inebriated churning replaces dancing at EVERY LARGE COLLEGE PARTY EVER AND HIGH SCHOOL ALSO.
The bathroom thing is a problem, but I think it could be well solved with some well-placed porta-johns. I think that also would save the residents a lot of trouble; the main reason people try and get upstairs is to pee. I don't understand why this hasn't been done.
The porta-johns are a pretty good idea. As for the churning--yeah, it's inevitable, but it's nice to have some space in existence to breakdance or swingdance or play Capoeira or whatever.
