Officials Encourage Alcohol-Free Tailgating Activities
By Joe Monaco and Joelle Ruben | September 21Despite University efforts to liven up football Saturdays, officials are still expecting students to play by the rules, particularly those regarding alcohol. Beer and other alcoholic beverages are forbidden at campus athletic events, according to University policy. "The policy on tailgating is the same as it's always been," said UNC Police Chief Derek Poarch. But officials say the University's policy on drinking should not deter students from enjoying themselves before kickoff. Tailgating, they explain, does not necessarily imply alcohol consumption.
