Glenn Williams, vice president for student affairs, said the decision was made Thursday by the President's Council, and although kegs will not be allowed in the tailgating area, students may still bring cans and bottles of beer to the pre-game parties. - Williams said the decision was made because ' .• 'people have not been following policy provisions on the printed sheets that are handed out to everyone when they enter the tailgate area.'' One provision Williams said was broken last week was that tailgating must end by p.m., or fifteen · minutes prior to the game's start.1: 15 He said kegs are involved with students partying after the start of the game. "It takes someone less time to finish a can of beer than a keg." Daniel Thornburgh, Eastern's acting director of university relations, said he hopes the ban on kegs will help to prevent tailgating from continuing after the beginning of the game. ''Cans of beer are easier to store and drinking of them can be stopped easier than of kegs because of the volume," he noted. The size of the groups was also a factor con-. tributing to the policy change. Williams said the policy states that tailgaters must be "small, private" Eastern students enjoy one of the last kegs of prohibiting kegs is effective this weekend.
