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.

Blankets and fast give Pakistan aid Seven thousand blankets and $3,000. That was the result of Creighton ' s effort toward the relief of Pakistan ' s refugees. On Sunday, October 17, 75 Creighton students and 225 high school students canvassed the city to collect the blankets and $1,500 in cash. The blankets were later sent to the Catholic Relief Service in New York. The service pledged to match the number of blankets collected and forward them to the Catholic Relief Service in Calcutta, India for distribu- tion to Pakistan. The drive was co-sponsored by the Student Board of Governors and the Community Service Center. Monday, November 1, was declared a day of fast by the Board. Catering Management, Inc. agreed to remit money to the cause based on the number of stu- dents participating in the fast. Of 1,475 students covered by the food plan only 120 ate breakfast, 500 lunch and 500 dinner. The remission by the food service and donations of town students totaled $1,500. Chris Harlan takes a well deserved break as a new crew take over the folding duties for a while. 27
