Cancelled the burn

I'm very unhappy with the fact that they cancelled the tiger burn. I don't even understand why they did. I understand their logic behind it, but I don't agree with it. The kids dying in the house fire was a tragic event, but its really no reason to cancel the tiger burn. If we were starting the event this year it would be different, but this is an old school tradition. The kids that died in the fire would have probably atteneded this event if they were still alive (except for maybe the Clemson student, but that's what Clemson's mock cocky funeral was for, which has now also been cancelled), and now that they have passed on they would have wanted us to still be able to enjoy it.
I suppose this next statement may seem a little harsh, but I'll say it anyways. I'm also really angry at the fact that my freshman year I have to miss out on the tiger burn just because a bunch of rich white kids don't know when to put the solo cup down. Yes, I am white, and no, I'm not poor.
