Cold weather was hardly the issue; the event has traditionally been
held on what is expected to be the coldest night.

Rather, the event got cancelled when a task force that had been created
by the University president to end the event recommended (surprise) that
the event be cancelled. It's never really been clear why this
all got stirred up; it has never been sponsored in any way by the
University (word just spreads across campus the night it's going to
happen) but two Resident Assistants lost their jobs last year because
they were recognized while participating.

Purdue is on a serious "limit the freedoms of students" bent this year,
so this was no big surprise. It might still happen -- at the moment
the weather is in the 50s, so it'll have to be a bit colder first.

Cheers,
chris

I was really looking forward to this year's outcome.  A damn shame...
