Beer draws students to weekend blast While students petitioned university officials for a rathskeller to provide legal alcoholic beverages on- campus, the Student Board found an interim solution in a new Creighton institution, the beer blast . Whether they were held in an antiquated dow n- town meeting hall, a university dining room, or in an open field on a nearby farm, the blasts provided a w elcome relief from the academic blues. Numerous kegs of beer lubricated the activities. Bands provided music for the light afoot and the con- genial settings induced cozy conversation. The imposing number of kegs never proved to be a match for the indomitable Creighton students who stayed well into the night to insure that no dregs remained. Kent Ban and Ellen Graham mirror the amicable spirit that permeated the all-university picnics at Hill Haven. Getting through the suds and into the beer presents a problem— but there are ways of dealino with it.
