Although many complained about a lack of parties, they were the most frequent events. Alumni got in on the fun, too. Close friendships between students and alumni weren't unusual. Often, it was their houses and apartments that were used for these weekend get-togethers, since parents had a shared objection to loud rock and teenage talk.
