Smith says groups are bound to violate one of the administration's regulations and incur a $50 fine-but that's a small price to pay for the potential dollars lost if a group didn't publicize.
"If you attempt to follow the rules, you get lost" in a sea of colorful fliers, says Niki V. Santo '00, who organized this weekend's showing of "Enemy of the State," sponsored by the Mather House Committee.
"The postering situation is vicious, but that's for any event," says Smith, who is also a Crimson editor. "It's just war--people tearing down each other's signs."
