By ALICIA KRAMME [email protected] Members of the University of Iowa Student Government passed a resolution in support of repealing the 21-ordinance on Tuesday night. The move came after long deliberations and after almost six months of UISG refusing to take a stance on the issue. While UISG members said they don’t support underage or binge drinking, they used examples of students losing jobs and injuries sustained in areas outside down- town as reasons 19- and 20-year-olds should be let back into bars. “I think everyone in the city has already voiced his opinion on the issue, and I think it’s very important for someone who represents the student body to vote on an issue that entirely affects students,” said UISG Sen. Raj Patel, a member of the student-led Yes to Entertaining Students Safely, an anti-21 group, who introduced the resolution. UISG President John Rigby said he and UISG Vice President Erica Hayes are publicly against the 21 ordinance, but having the Senate on board is important for students. Members voted 16-9 in sup- port of an anti-21 stance. SEE UISG, 5 CHRISTY AUMER/THE DAILY IOWAN Filled bags of food sit on tables awaiting to be handed out at the Crisis Center on Sept. 9.
