That party last night was awfully crazy; I wish we taped it.

That is, unless that party ended on a sour note, due to the fact that a few party-goers forgot their manners.

I know it's halfway through the year, but I think Dayton's weekend life is starting to get a biiiiiiiit sloppy. What solidified this theory for me was last weekend.

I got puked on.

I am well aware of the risks involved in a night in the Ghetto, but at the same time, I really do not need your vom in my hair.

 To make a long story short, when I walked into a crowd of people, my shirt/hair/body was clean. When I walked out, my shirt/hair/body was covered in the wreckage of a certain sophomore's drinking habits.

All of this opened my eyes to the party fouls that are committed on a routine basis on this campus.

 At any other university, this might be acceptable, but here at UD, we don't party like any other campus. We don't hold to standards; we set the standards.

  For that reason, here is a quick review of some party rules that should always be followed.

  Let's start at the base level. If you are attending a party, show some respect for your gracious hosts. They kindly forked out some cash so you could get your drink on; the least you can do is finish your beer.

If nothing else, at least dump it out before throwing away your can (which you will, because leaving the house completely trashed is always a fail).

In the same vein, respect the house, too. We all know how classy our student neighborhood McMansions are ... Okay, so they may not be the most luxurious living spaces, but some of these houses can't take much more partying.

  One wise junior I know once said, "Our house is like the one from 'The Three Little Pigs' ... It can't take one more blow." So cut the abuse to them, okay?

  Also, no matter your Nati or Beast preference, keep it to yourself. Whatever the house draft is, embrace it. You're in Dayton, so what more could you want?

Now, even though a house volunteered to be the destination spot for some pong action or whatnot, it is important to remember that not every room is open for raging.

 If a door is closed, don't open it. If it's locked, don't break it down. If there's a bed, stay out.

It's that simple.

  I've had to break up some good clean fun going down behind closed doors before, and trust me, it's not something that anyone wants to confront.

Sometimes party fouls can be committed in the smallest manner. No matter how menial the crime, though, it still matters. And in this case, changing the music without the host's consent is a major no-no.

Lastly, channel that kid from The Sixth Sense and remember to pay it forward. If someone is sponsoring your Saturday night and the beer happens to run low, please chip in a dolla dolla bill. It is always appreciated, and is a simple way to show some appreciation.

We still have a whole semester of partying left in this year. Try to remember that, although we may be drinking cheap beer and Korski, we are for the most part classy people.

And to that guy who vommed on me: get yourself some Pucker and learn how to drink.
