Campus Article: "Pirate party spurs heated debate"
This Middlebury Campus article covers the controversy of the "Surrender Your Booty!!!" Pirate Dance Party held by Cook Commons. A pirate porn film was played at the party, drawing criticism from FAM and Men Against Violence for encouraging unhealthy systems of male sexual dominance. Despite this, the party was not canceled.
