The co-chairs of the Eliot House Committee delivered a petition yesterday to Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis ’68 protesting the ban on kegs at tailgates before the Harvard-Yale game.
The petition is signed by the chairs of all 12 House committees (HoCo).
“We believe that, while the intent of the keg policy was positive, the policy will actually effect negative and potentially dangerous results,” the petition said.
Lewis was not present to receive the petition, which had been circulated among the HoCos for two weeks. He said later that he was busy preparing for a 10 a.m. computer science class when the students arrived.
Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth ’71 was scheduled to receive the students. But they quietly delivered the petition to Lewis’ personal assistant and left before Illingworth could meet them.
