Marquette Students Turn Library Into Rave
MILWAUKEE - To celebrate the last day of final exams, hundreds of Marquette University students descended on the Raynor Memorial Libraries for an impromptu dance party Wednesday night.
"The campus is abuzz about it today," said University spokesman Chris Stolarski.
During what's being called the "Raynor Rave," students filed into the library and danced to several songs played over the building's intercom system, including Miley Cyrus' popular "Party in the U.S.A."
"We had about 700 people come in," estimated the event's organizer, spohomore Chris Mason. "Me and my friend Ryan Glazer came up with the idea. We saw videos of this at the University of North Carolina and we wanted to bring it to Marquette."
"We set up a group for it on Facebook and used that to invite a bunch of people and then just kept talking about it. Word of mouth is really something!"
