...need to move on and work with the administration to make the best of a less than ideal situation. House Committees and student groups have traditionally attracted attendees to their tailgates with alcohol of their own. Without it, we must coordinate efforts with the administration to tackle the usual logistics and devise a large-scale alternative that will still draw big crowds (e.g. Ben Folds could return and sing “Yale Sucks” for three straight hours). More relaxed house events could be held in Cambridge to pump people up for The Game as they did before...
...contrast, last year’s game at Yale saw a relatively open alcohol policy, where liquor was carried and consumed under the protective, not skeptical eye of police and security officers. The usual mix of age groups at House Committee (HoCo) and student group tailgates meant that students were able to keep an eye on one another. Perhaps not coincidentally, the 2005 Game also marked a sharp drop in the number of students treated for alcohol-related problems (from 50 in 2004 at Harvard...
Furthermore, the usual efforts must be made to ensure minimal disruption to those not partaking in the Game’s many festivities. The College should work extensively with BPD and the Harvard University Police Department to ensure that crowd flows make logistic sense and to protect locals’ property from any possible collateral damage. (A few extra portable toilets would be nice, since the shortage at the 2004 tailgate created a bit of an undesired spectacle.) Students, in turn, should keep in mind that they are not the only residents of the Boston area and keep their shenanigans...
Harvard alumni will have their tailgate separately, as usual, and the new policies will not affect them, according to Gross...
...expected me to come back with any semblance of a tan or the laidback attitude I adopted.But spending seven straight hours under an umbrella in the sand was probably the best way to experience “real” Greek culture and do something totally different from my usual routine. The sun usually gives me freckles or second-degree burns—sometimes even in the dead of winter during a 15 minute snowbound trek to Widener. But I took cues from locals on how to enjoy the sun without a case of heat stroke, and found myself waxing...
