Journal verdict: It's all good

Not much to report from the Queen's Journal (sorry, they're slow to upload so I can't show you pictures or linked text). But it's pretty much the same things re-iterated: Much better than last year, it was safe but fun, etc. There is a report from the Journal saying one student was Tasered for resisting arrest, but it wasn't confirmed in the special Homecoming pull-out that the Journal published. They do have a great spread of the crowd in Aberdeen, as well as an ironic picture of a student getting arrested wearing a t-shirt with a 3-panel cartoon titled, "How to avoid a cop" and Don Rogers trying to convince a passerby to not drink on Aberdeen (HA HA HA). Some choice quotes:

"They allow things you would never allow in Ottawa. As long as people don't do the same dumb shit as they did last year, it's all good." - Nick Bertrand, University of Ottawa student.

"It seems to be controlled chaos." - Harvey Rosen, mayor.

"So far, it's looking very peaceful and very orderly. It's very good to see the volunteers and the police and the students are talking." - Vice-Principal Deane, Queen's University.

"People love the volunteers. I've had so many 'thank-you's', ranging from random people coming up and simply saying thanks, to whole groups of people saying, 'Chug your beers for the volunteers!'" - Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, ArtSci '07 volunteer.
