Tailgate parties
offer exception
to alcohol policy
BY ANDREA BROCKMAN
The Battalion
Before every Texas A&M home football game, many
students, former students, families and friends get to
gether and enjoy food and drinks at tailgate parties. At
some of these parties, alcohol is served.
According to University regulations, alcohol is not per
mitted outdoors on campus. Tailgate parties, however,
are an exception.
Dr. Bill Kibler, chair of the Alcohol Tents and Tailgat
ing Task Force and associate vice president for Student
Affairs, said for several years consumption of alcohol at
tailgate parties has been permitted under certain criteria.
“The party may only occur during a NCAA athletic event,
it can only take place in the designated campus parking ar
eas and those who drink must be of legal age,” he said.
The task force was formed in September by Dr. J. Mal-
on Southerland, vice president for Student Affairs, to ap
proach the issue of alcohol consumption at tailgate par
ties and especially the tents erected during athletic events.
Kibler said the task force has had two meetings and is
still in the information-gathering stage.
“We are aware there has been consumption of alcohol
taking place at the tent parties,” he said. “Because the tents
are not set up in the designated parking areas, they do not
meet the criteria allowing tailgate parties. Therefore, they
are in violation of the University’s alcohol rules.”
Kibler said they are looking at the issue and making
proposals for the next football season.
An exception is the tent tailgate parties held by the As
sociation of Former Students outside the Clayton Williams
Alumni Center.
David Wilkinson, director of club programs for the
Association of Former Students, said they are in a
unique situation.
“We have the only tailgate party where alcohol can be
served at an official public function,” he said. “This is be
cause we lease the property.”
Wilkinson said there will be a party before each home
game beginning three hours prior to kickoff. It will end 30
minutes prior to kickoff. Food will be served for $5.50 a per
son and $2.75 for children. A cash bar will also be available.
“Everyone is invited and no reservations are required,”
he said. “You do not have to eat to attend, but we do ac
cept Aggie Bucks.”
Since alcohol is being served, Wilkinson said a Universi
ty police officer will be present to handle any problems.
“It is better to be safe than sorry,” he said.

March of Dimes fund-raim^
to put local leaders behind ba
BY ANDREA BROCKMAN
The Battalion
Civic leaders, business profession
als and citizens of the Brazos Valley
will “do time” to help raise funds for
the prevention of birth defects and in
fant mortality.
The March of Dimes 41st Jail and
Bail fundraising event will be held
from Oct. 13 to 15 from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. at Royer’s Cafe on the corner of
Texas Avenue and Southwest Parkway.
Johanna Gessner, publicity chair
for the Bryan-College Station division
of the March of Dimes, said mock ar
rests will be issued and a volunteer
judge will order one-hour sentences
for each “lawbreaker.”
“The jailbird uses the time to call
friends, associates and co-workers to
raise bail in the form of a contribu
tion,” she said.
Barbara Bell-Seals, division director
for March of Dimes, said Jail and Bail
is one of the largest nationwide
fundraisers the March of Dimes hosts.
“It is a fun way to raise money and
get the community involved,” she
said. “We make it as fun as possible
with food, drinks and special give
aways from local merchants.”
Local personalities who will be ar
rested include Bryan PoliceQii
Freeman and College Station
Chief Ed Feldman.
Bell-Seals said the monev
will go toward research on ptev
birth defects and other treatniti
premature or sick infants.
“Our mission is for all babies
healthy,” she said.
In the ’70s, March of Dimes
it possible for every babytobf
cess to a NICU (Neonatal Intel
Care Unit).
Bell-Seals said the local
sador child for the March of
Jody Barret, will be at theevemTi
day. She was born 14 weekspi
ture and was placed inaNICl
days. Jody just turned 7 a
healthy, outgoing child.
“She is [an example of] our

Lynette Neidert, chair ofJal
Bail, said that Texas A&Mhasali
had an active role in the Mai
Dimes and its fundraising el
such as the Corps of Cadets'a
March to the Brazos. ■
