Any students who want beer will buy It by the cup Instead of-the old "all the beer you can drink for Live From the- a dollar" system. This Is done by buying beer tickets. They are on sale at the door, usually for fwenty.flve cents a piece. You can buy as many as you want, but they can't be sold back when you're ready to leave. Tickets can only be used once, and must be turned in when getting-a beer. Several reasons have been given for the instigation of this new system. The new liquor license, of course, is the major one, but it is hoped that there will be several beneficial side effects. Many of the people involved with the new policy tend to think that when students are buying each beer individually they will become more aware of exactly how much they are drinking. This in turn may cut down on the amount of alcohol consumed and the van- dalism that seems connected with so many open parties on campus. , Another very helpful result of this policy, at least for the first two parties comes at the end of the party - clean-up time! It only makes sense that if a person is paying for everything that he or she is drinking, he or she is going to be much more careful with it. Several members of the Scrimshaw staff can speak from experience; there are a lot fewer half-filled beers laying around and there is less spilled on the floor. If students are going to pay for their beer, they aren't going to waste it! Although there are a few minor problems to work out as far as the sale of beer is concerned, this new system seems Karl Olfson to have benefits for all, not just the organization and the started off administration. And twenty-five cents for twelve ounces of beer Is cheaper than you'll get it anywhere around here. this year's Recitals Junior Follies.
