This activity only acted as a temporary high, and I wasn’t satisfied at the outcome of losing my voice and watching my friend vomit on my floor from drunken laughter.
“Your mother hates you,” one student viciously yells out his window towards the opposing tower. He shuts his lights off quickly, to avoid being pinned with the crime described by the University Police as “public profanity.”
Yes, it is true. The University Police have been charging students with $25 tickets when they are able to distinguish exactly which person screamed what indecent statement out of their porthole. Bitch, slut, faggot and motherfucker are just a few offensive terms that are squealed out into the night air from North Tower to South Tower within each hour of darkness.
For the most part, these wars occur on the weekends, and some of us wonder if they will ever stop. One male student received a ticket, just nights ago, for shouting out vulgarities towards the police vehicles.
Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Apparently, it really has gone out the window, along with common decency – what kind of person insists on awakening those of us who enjoy sleeping at night?
So basically, I just want to personally thank those of you who persevere throughout the threat of police tickets in waking people like me up at 4 a.m. to the word “cunt.” Nobody even has the decency to scream the words “Good Morning,” as I lay exhausted in bed, having been wrenched out of sound sleep after hearing “douche-bag.”
I have participated in these so-called “Tower War” events, but only after I was too drunk to stand up straight and in the mood to do as many belligerent and ignorant things as I could think of. Being wasted, then, my lingo broke a new record of vulgarity, and I acquired a sailor’s tongue.
This activity only acted as a temporary high, and I wasn’t satisfied at the outcome of losing my voice and watching my friend vomit on my floor from drunken laughter.
There is only one solution of restoring peace between the inappropriate representatives of each yelling tower: discontinue the Tower Wars! Enough is enough, and at this point, as a former contributor, I must tell you that nobody cares about anything that you or anyone else has to scream out the window.

So since you were drunk, you can be excused because apparently that's an alright reason for you to annoy others. But when YOU want to sleep it's straight up intolerable, and suddenly you want to stop the "Tower Wars" for your sake. Did it ever occur to you that more than half of those idiots that yell that crap are wasted beyond repair and have the same B.S. excuse you do? Whether you were only temporarily satisfied with your disturbance or not, the people you woke from a sound sleep and annoyed could really give a shit. These feelings of disatisfaction after your own juvenile acts are irrelevant. You're a hypocrite.
