...Geraldo I. Salazar '95 said he went to the College Fest to escape a Sunday of studying. "I wanted to put off my work," he admitted, a large bag of freebies in hand...

The tired excuse of the effects of racism is inapplicable here, as all of those involved were white. The theory of economic deprivation as an inevitable creator of violence also fails to save these residents of middle-class, suburban Dartmouth...
