Crimson editors cannot conceive of college football without kegs of beer. Harvard students dash off letters of protest over keg bans (Letters, “University Ban on Kegs at Tailgates Laughable,” Oct. 9). It’s an interesting commentary on college drinking that more outraged protest is expressed about curtailing the supply of alcohol than about major social or national problems.

Attendees have been known to black out their teeth, wear shirts with beer and hunting slogans or make pointed jokes about incest...
