BSD on the other hand, exists so that students can get wasted at an official event on campus. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I don't believe there are other events during BSD that don't revolve around alcohol? Thinking it will end at 5pm, just because U of C closes all campus activities, is naive. They have created a culture around this day that involves mass drunkenness and stupidity

Nonsense, Bermuda Shorts Day is just another party like St. Patrick's or Halloween. Not much different than a standard weekend for most students. The only thing linking this tragedy to BSD is that it happened on the same day. It's certainly not the UofC creating a "culture of drinking" around BSD, it the students themselves - because that's what students like to do - and there's nothing wrong with that.
