After six years, Roscoe is finally graduating from college. In celebration he invites 20 of his friends to a party being held at his apartment. As the party continues into the nighttime hours, neighbors call Roscoe to complain
He simply replies, "Loosen up. My days in college are over and I will be gone tomorrow." About midnight, several neighbors call the police and complain about the noise. A police officer responds to the scene and asks Roscoe to calm down the sound. Roscoe agrees but 30 minutes later several neighbors call the police again.
