Riff Raff

Mr. Freidman cited the fact that
off-duty University and Charlottesville
police would no longer be
allowed by their employers to work
at the fraternity parties and that
without Link, doormen at fraternity
parties would be graduate
students, married students, and
houseboys who would not necessarily
be able to maintain a controlled
party atmosphere.

He added that on Midwinters
Weekend Link Security was on
short notice and consequently was
forced to hire many poorly trained
people from Charlottesville, in
addition to bringing additional
people and equipment from Danville,
Link's base of operation and
being forced to forego detailed
organization.
