Exuberant students surround a keg in this image from 1979, a year after kegs were first allowed in dormitories. In 2013, kegs are no longer allowed after keg privileges were taken away in the late 1980s. Reports from administration indicate that alcohol is still one of main things students complain about and that “there are no fewer than 20 regulations in the current student handbook that deal with alcohol violations.” The policy was adopted that spring, and there were strict rules associated with use of kegs in dormitories. While one rule--no kegs--had been abolished, new rules emerged to control keg use. These included prepared guest lists, one keg for every thirty people (not to exceed eighty people), and set dates for the parties, among others.
