...fact especially counterproductive in that—for economic reasons—it would prompt many tailgaters to purchase hard liquor instead. The resulting effect would be increased consumption of hard liquor among students—not, as Lewis had argued, a benign switch from keg beer to canned beer. The unfortunate outcome in 2002 proved that Lewis’ logic was flawed...
Fast forward to 2004. Today there is a new Dean of the College, and with Harvard’s encroachment into Allston ever more imminent, the Boston Police Department has suddenly become a force to be reckoned with in planning for the tailgates. For weeks now, the failed keg ban seemed the least of students’ worries as contentious issue after issue threatened to undermine The Game tailgates altogether. We applaud the tireless efforts of Undergraduate Council President Matthew W. Mahan ’05 and Vice-President Michael R. Blickstead ’05, who have worked overtime...
...major hurdle remains. Earlier this fall, it was revealed that some kegs would again be permitted, but inexplicably House Committees would be the only organizations authorized to have them. The kegs would be purchased collectively from a single alcohol distributor, and keg beer would be controlled and served by licensed, bonded, professional pourers. This plan, while a vast improvement over the nonsensical 2002 ban, is still fundamentally flawed. Banning kegs last time around seemed only to encourage students to drink more hard liquor before and at The Game; having a limited number of controlled kegs is unlikely to prevent that...
...place by the Boston Police Department. He said that Harvard’s intention, to the best of his knowledge, is to restrict alcohol-use no more stringently than that. However, Massachusetts law simply prohibits unlicensed individuals from transporting more than 20 gallons of beer (slightly more than one keg). Harvard’s keg ban goes above and beyond what the law requires. We wonder if Dean Gross’ reluctance to overturn the ban in full is simply due to a misplaced deference to his predecessor...
...campus wastes their time poring over novels and notebooks, the crew that gathers Thursday nights in Quincy 610 is having the sort of raucous good time one doesn’t often find within the hallowed walls of a Harvard residence. “We are gonna throw this keg against the wall!” Jeff Rossi ’05 announces over the chattering crowd and background rap music, pointing proudly to the set of jagged holes in 610’s concrete wall that served as permanent markers to the fun of past weeks...
