Our cities’ municipal street car networks were similarly dismantled during the Great Depres- sion, and left rotting as post-war Americans embraced the cheap oil and Fordism necessary for suburban exile. The only remnant of Missoula’s commuter tram system, which carried over a million passengers (of various intoxication) a year at it’s prime, is a a single trolley car Frankensteined onto a Mountain Line chassis shepherding families to the seasonal weekly farmers market. With more breweries, distilleries and parking lots popping up in Missoula every year, with no accompanying increase in late-night public transit, the conditions for drunk driving are perfect. The UDASH Gold Line is the light in the darkness, saving lives every year by shuttling countless drunks between downtown and the University District. But it’s not enough. If Mountain Line is fiscally-confident enough to go zero-fare, true late- night service to prevent drunk-driving is well within the city’s means. Mountain Line’s current “late evening routes” end at 10 p.m. and don’t cover weekends when bars are most packed. If Missoula wants to do it’s part to combat the worst drunk-driving in the nation it needs to organize a better public transportation system instead of relying on student fees to subsidize safety.

The dregs of Missoula congregate outside the Wilma just after 2 a.m. on Friday and Sat- urday nights. They yell, flirt, bum cigarettes and wait impatiently for ASUM Transpor- tation’s late night Gold Line service, aka the “Drunk Bus.” When the motley crew shuffles onto the last bus of the night, some take their seat while others occupy positions near the poles. Some nights they try to perform strip- teases next to their comrades, most of whom can barely hold down the mostly-liquid contents of their stomachs. The route runs from the Lewis & Clark Villages to downtown Missoula. Service begins at 7:05 p.m. and ends at 2:27 a.m. Thursday through Saturday and run every half hour until around midnight Monday through Wednesday and doesn’t run at all on Sunday. The service offers a safe form of transportation for people who want access to downtown Missoula without having to take their own vehicle.

While temperance groups tried to bring back prohibition in attempts to direct consumers’ cash flow elsewhere, their initia- tives failed. Instead, interest in alcohol slow- ly increased, with the growing popularity of social events like cocktail parties. “There is the imagery we get from popular culture; this is Mad Men,” Volk said. “Alcohol consumption was definitely on the rise.” Wartime efforts to curb the purchase of alcohol didn’t stop UM students from drinking at functions put on by the University. Events like the Foresters’ Ball and Aber Day were notorious for drinking, even in the ‘40s. The 1941 Sentinel, UM’s yearbook, character- ized the Foresters’ Ball by the “rural rhythm, western regalia, cowboy atmosphere and that slightly foggy feeling.” It featured several photos of smiling students with thick glass bottles, the 1940s equivalent of red solo cups, in hand. Aber Day was founded in 1915 by Wil- liam “Daddy” Aber, a Greek professor and one of the University’s five founding members. Students would take a day off of classes in the spring to clean up the campus and plant trees. After a hard day’s work they would go to a dance, though it eventually got shut down in the ‘50s because more students were showing up for the party than for the volunteer work. Alcohol became a serious issue for the University in the ‘50s after a series of DUIs were issued to UM students, prompting the school to come up with new University pol- icies and regulations surrounding alcohol consumption. In a 1956 editorial, the Kaimin wrote that it was “sick, sick, sick” of hearing about UM’s “liquor problem.” UM had a reputation as a “party school” and “dance academy,” and the Kaimin didn’t like it. The paper called for greater vigilance in the police department and rule enforcement by the Judicial Board. In the ‘60s, alcohol consumption increased to pre-Prohibition levels. This could be correlated with the rising popularity of recreational drugs and an increasing open- ness to substance use that accompanied the hippie movement, Volk said.

Hippies and cowboys alike united at the event, and college students from across the Northwest flocked to Missoula to take part in the celebration. The success of the event partly stemmed from law enforcement’s generally lax attitudes toward drinking at the time. “Montana had always had a reputation of being lax with alcohol rules, and at that time it was legal to drink at 18,” Scott Bald- win said. “It wasn’t uncommon to be in the dorms after the weekend and hear people bragging about puking and getting pulled over by the police for drunken driving with no action taken against them.” The free-spirited culture inspired by the hippie movement made Missoula a good place to have a party.

WHAT THE FOOD Take a closer look Taylor Wyllie / [email protected] As we all know, appearances can be deceiving. This is especially true when it comes to modern-day processed food and agriculture. Just because a certain snack is called a “potato chip,” doesn’t mean it actually came from fresh potatoes. Just because a tomato is red doesn’t mean it was picked from the vine when it was ready. And just because a food is labeled in a certain way, or with particular “code” words, doesn’t mean the label is accurate.

Scoles said she once had a man pass out on the bar after one beer. She attempted to wake him and quickly realized he had an erection.
