Chapel Hill Mayor James Wal lace has compared Little Frater nity Court to a pile of trash. But if he has ever attended a court party he would realize that the three fraternities that border the court have to work hard to keep it as neat and clean as a pile of garbage. This is because after every home game, the court overflows with thousands of partiers who could not care less what the final score of the game was. Mayor Wallace would be appalled at the amount and types of garbage thousands of students and alumni can leave behind after an afternoon of celebrating another Tarheel vic tory or trying to forget another defeat. The court starts off clean enough. (It is even rumored to have grass growing on it in summer months.) But as the band begins to play on the Kappa Alpha front porch, the first of the revelers begin to set up coolers. By the end of the game the whole area is packed with people. Most of the Court Party Regulars fall into these categories: FRAT BOYS.

They all pack together in the middle of the court and drink any sort of alcohol that they can get. They avoid the fringes of the crowd where police are liable to be checking IDs. DRUNKEN FOOLS. These people are there to drink and they let everyone know it. They spend most of their time yelling obscen ities or dancing with a great lack of coordination in front of the stage. As the party starts to wind down, everyone heads home to take a nap before going out. Don't forget that it is Saturday night. They leave all of their cans, bottles and other trash in the mud for the fraternity pledges to clean up before Sunday morning. Yes, Mayor Wallace, it proba bly is a pile of garbage.
