22wAlcohoI Get relief -- relax at Jackson,s Sorry history profs. The kids in your eight o'clock class do not associate the name Jackson with the president or the politician. In fact, P.E. and music profs, Jackson is even rarely associated with the baseball player or musician. Instead, Jackson's represents a small sanctuary in a dusty part of Valparaiso . not too near campus, not too far. Jackson's serves as an upperclass wa- tering hole where independents and greeks enjoy a few drinks away from the crowded fraternity-party atmo- sphere. It's a great place to relax with a few friends, said senior Brett Holst. Jack- son's has an easy-going atmosphere that makes it a fun place. Thereis no denying it; Valpo students, like other college students like to drink alcohol, no matter if its the freshmenls first night out, fraternity-hopping, or just sipping another cold brew at Jacksonis. Fra temity 13661 Do you ever wonder what you drinking at a typical fraternity pa Usually you feel safe seeing a d mixed in front of you, but what al the stuff on tap? To satisfy the many thirsty party- mals that come out on Wednesdays week-ends, fraternities spend I; amounts of money to provide the e flowing drink of the evening - b When questioned, most fratern disclosed both the kind of beer 1 served and the amount their bud allocated for alcohol. Budweiser reigns as the king of b at VU, but the houses also supply a tiers with brands similar in price v Budweiser like Michelob, Old Milv kee and Little Kings. Once asked at personal taste, however, the respm ranged from imported Molsen Gel to American brewed Strohs. When housing a party, the last thi. fraterpityt Wants to do is run out beerEs-Pj Kappa Alpha fraternity CI; to have tapped as many as 12 kegs I go to be with people I don't see that often,'I commented Cindy Garri- son. We usually go when someone has a reason to celebrate. On the other hand, senior Mike Spain does not need a reason to go to Jackson's. I like Jackson's because there is a diverse crowd of people. It's fun because it turns into a party atmo- sphere after a few pitchers. Another attraction is the famous Jackson's hamburger. Students flock to Jackson's at lunch and dinner to eat burgers and drink beer. I think their hamburgers are great, said Holst. It's nice to be abIe to enjoy a beer or two with your lunch. Students' reasons for drinking at singiehight,lbut averages closer to Jackscinis stem beyond the hambur and thesatmosphere. The foremost son for being at Jackson's is sociali; I just go there to be with a Ic different people, commented se Chris WoIIum. It's just a lot of fu have drinks in a bar like Jackson's. I really comfortable place to drink. The people at Jackson's really t you well, added senior Sue Harr llThey are really nice. You feel I come. So profs, when your eight o'cl students show up to class a little rr red-eyed than normal, they were pr ably studying all about Jackson - Bar. - Tammy Bo
