photo by Eric Johnson DANCING THE v At Harvard, if a student went waltzing it probably entailed formal attire and classical music. Too bad for them. Students at this university waltzed to a different tune — free alcohol. The Tennessee waltz was again the students ' favorite tradition to carry on. Upon turning 2 1 , they could finally head into the bars on Tennessee Street and (legally) get tanked. As an added bonus, with the proper proof, each bar gave out one complimentary beverage — ranging from mugs of beer to shots of buttery nipples. The policy of a free pitcher was discontinued in 1994 when the bars began to lose too much money. The night I went waltzing was the best night of the year. I had been wanting to go into Bullwinkle ' s since I got here because I heard it was a feeding ground for honeys. I had so much fun I can ' t even remember it all, said junior Ryan Rasmussen. Several of the greek organizations added their own unique twist to the waltz. Gamma Phi Beta had the birthday girl sign her name and write down what she had to drink every time they finished a bar. I saw my friend Becky James ' (a Gamma Phi) signature sheet the next day and just died laughing. She was so canned after the first place that we couldn ' t even read her name after that, said junior Tiffany Jackson, a Delta Delta Delta. Bar-hopping wasn ' t the only event that transpired over the course of a waltz. The icing on the cake came when the honoree ' s friends tossed them in the Wescott Fountain as a final initiation into adulthood. When our roommate Brian turned 2 1, we got him good. Our buddy Eddie was driving him from Poor Paul ' s to Potbelly ' s and we were waiting for them behind the bushes out in front of Wescott. When they pulled up to the stop sign, we yanked him out of the jeep, carried him over to the fountain and threw him in, said junior Greg Sheaffer. Ah, the Tennessee Waltz — a night long not remembered. photo by Stacy Leigh Woonton ERIC JOHNSON Waltz 11
