Reported that  "Continuing their pledge to crackdown on dangerous student behavior in the wake of the January murder of a Raynham man, selectmen revoked the lodging house license for a Burrill Avenue building known as "Animal House." "

Reported that the five Bridgewater State College students who currently live there were given their eviction notices.  The town had received "constant consistent complaints about the building's student inhabitants over the past 3 1/2 years.  During that period, police have been called to the 9 Burrill Ave. house 31 times.  13 incidents were reported to have occurred just in the last six months. Although there are six lodging houses in the town and this is the only one we've received any complaints about according to the article.  Complaints at the so-called "animal house" had ranged from public drunkenness to loud parties, broken bottles, and fights.
