;: uring the heady days of September, Pro- f vost Francis Lawrence said the new Tu- ' lane alcohol policy was not written in !? stone, but by the dwindling days of May, the policy and the new official attitude towards alcohol on campus had become a reality whose repercussions had affected the entire Uni- versity community. The initial policy was adopted in September and later modified in April, when Louisiana raised its legal drink- ing age to 21. The rise in the drinking age, combined with the nationwide increase in alcohol-related litigations and concern over Tulane ' s image, forced the University to re- evaluate its former alcoholic beverage policy and create a new one which took into account the legal and social realities of 1987. To this end, the University decided to ban the sale of hard liquor on campus and require campus organizatiorib serving or selling alcohol to register their event with the University. In addition to these official changes, Vice President for Student Affairs Martha Sullivan imposed an unofficial de facto policy of her own by refusing to sign any new student alcohol permits. Other provisions of the policy — including a clause barring open containers from campus — were, by their nature, impossible to enforce. In the UC Rathskeller, however, the area behind the bar was noticeably barren, with only an assortment of beers and wine coolers dis- played where Stoli and Jack Daniels bottles once stood. Organizations were asked to conform to a set of publicity guidelines which downplayed the presence of alcohol at campus events. Responsible drinking became a buzz- word. Clearly, in practice and in spirit, the new alcohol policy was making waves. The new alcohol policy brought new experiences to campus. Marta Villarraga receives the OK from cam- pus police officer Norbert Rome to purchase beer tickets on the UC quad, after a careful ID check. Alcohol awareness was raised tremendously because of the new policy. But students were not inhibited to continue indulging. Laureen Conlon and roomie Julie Lewis maintain the Tulane tradition of fun in the sun on the quad. Another outpost for the campus police was the beer serving station. Officer Ed Riley keeps a watchful eye as Matt Marlotte serves the brew. The new policy had little effects on the traditional party- atmosphere of fraternity mixers.

By March, when it was apparent that Lou- isiana would prohibit those born after September 30, 1967, from purchasing and publicly consuming alcohol, the poli- ' ' cy was in need of modification. Many hoped that the modified policy would not only address the change in the legal drinking age but also deal with the issue of legal liability, thereby lifting the unofficial ban on new student alcohol permits. In May, the class of ' 87 graduated, making way for an infusion of freshmen who, upon their arrival in August, would raise the fraction of Tulane ' s undergraduates who are unable to publicly consume alcohol to one-half. TGIFs, a Tulane tradition, were in danger of becoming extinct; as the alcohol permit ran out in May. The University was faced with the reality of a virtually dry campus within two years, at which time the entire undergraduate community would be unable to legally consume alcohol in public. In the meantime, Tulane seemed to be content to wait and see. To the administra- tion, alcohol, it seemed, was not intrinsic to the collegiate experience at Tulane. When it comes to beer, everyone seems to get in on the act. Erich Hartwig takes a sip while his best friend licks his chops. The decor of dorm rooms tend to suggest a facination with alcoholic beverages of all types. The new alco- hol policy is geared at promoting responsible con- sumption of such beverages. D. S.
