Re:Mustangs Must Cross Hillcrest to Slurp Beer

SMU couldn’t have done this even if Turner wanted to. With UP being dry, it would be very difficult to get the proper permits to allow this sort of thing on campus. I don’t realistically see this as a viable option anyway, since most upperclassmen don’t live on campus anyway.

University officials need to ease up on the pressure on the fraternity bus parties, however. Groups, including, but not limited to fraternities, are going to have functions at bars regardless of the rules, and busing students to parties from campus is a much safer alternative to the literally hundreds of students that attend these functions.

Even for students that don’t live on campus, that extra time waiting for the bus and then the bus ride back to campus is invaluable to helping students stay safe.
