Event planning can be stressful. As ALAS (Association of Latin American Students) members led auditions for more than 20 hopeful Carnaval participants on Sunday, a sophomore in an emblazoned black polo quietly set up the speaker system and video-recording equipment at the front of the Mudd Multipurpose room. As they danced, he remained alert for any technical difficulties.

Members of the Washington University chapter of Young Americans for Liberty erected a mock Soviet prison camp, or gulag, in front of the Women’s Building Monday morning, but were later told by a representative from Event Services to disassemble the display.

This year ought to have been an exciting one for student groups looking to utilize Washington University’s new space.
