After BYU’s announcement, that starting next August, BYU students will no longer be required to live in BYU-approved housing, members of the Provo-centric tenant union decided to mark the occasion. Their festivities were cut short by the natural enemy of the Union—the Landlord.

“We just wanted to do something fun for once,” said one partygoer. “Crack open a pack of apple beer, recite some of the little red book, normal college stuff.”

The noise complaint came from Karlya Smoot, who was struggling to study for the four midterms that she has this week. Smoot claims that she “hates to be a killjoy” but that midterms come earlier and earlier every year, and that her parents will stop paying her rent if she fails another class.

The landlord on the scene, Gary Collar, said that the noise complaint interrupted a meeting he was holding with local landlords dealing with the fallout of the new BYU housing policy. “We were trying to brainstorm some new scams, I mean legitimate business ideas, now that we won’t have a secure renter base.”

Collar continued, saying that he was, “personally hurt” when he arrived to find people singing “ding-dong the witch is dead” subbing in his name.

The ringleader of the event, head of the tenant’s union Ethan Webb, gave a short statement, “Sorry for party rocking.”
