Yet reviving some manner of funding for parties is preferable to no fund at all. And, while it may seem unsatisfactory that alcohol consumption will be more strictly monitored under the new system than during the Party Fund days, we cannot realistically expect the administration to indirectly fund underage student drinking, considering the potential for legal liability...
