Students party in a fraternity house at Iowa State University last weekend. As long as
students are of legal drinking age, they may drink at ISU.

tant in Willows Residence Hall, said
alcohol did not cause problems on his
coeducational floor.
“If Iowa State was dry, my job
would be much tougher,” he said.
“The way I see it is if people arc going
to drink, the fact they can drink in the
den gives them more responsibility.”
Grant “Junior” Brickley has lived
in the residence halls for six years. He
said the alcohol policy encouraged
students to continue living on cam
pus.
“There are enough parties to keep
people in dorms,” Brickley, a senior
finance major, said. “It encourages
people to stay in the dorms.”
Murray Williams, a sophomore
journalism major, said allowing stu
dents to drink on campus was a real
istic way to deal with a potential alco
hol problem.
“When you can do stuff 1 ike this on
your floor, you want to stay on your
floor,” Williams said. This reduces
the risk of drunk driving, he said.
Tony Carlton, a junior athletic
training major, agreed.
“It’s better to be here than be out
driving,” he said. With a dry policy,
“there would be more problems. They
are going to drink anyway.”
Although alcohol is permitted,
Ingraham said, guidelines are en
forced.
The Iowa State policy prohibits:
•Alcohol consumption by minors.
• Large parties.
• Open containers in hallways or
public places other than the floor den.
• Single alcohol containers of more
than 1 gallon, including kegs and
party balls.
Most students don’t drink during
the week, said Glen Rosenhamer, a
sophomore environmental engineer
ing major. Having alcohol in the res
idence hallsdoesn’t hamper students’
academics, he said.

M-Shop
Across campus in the Iowa State
Memorial Union basement, about 200
people crowd into M-Shop — a pop
ular night entertainment spot on the
ISU campus for 20 years.
M-Shop is the only club minors can
legally attend in Ames, and there are
rarely problems with minors drink
ing, said Rusty Poehner, M-Shop co
ordinator.
“We are hounds,” she said.
M-Shop was the former site of the
union’s maintenance shop. In 1974
the room was turned into a club.
Poehner said allowing minors in
was one reason M-Shop had been
consistently successful.
“There’s a certain glamor to be
able to hang in a mixed crowd,” she
said.
Barb Mitchell has been coming to
M-Shop throughout her college ca
reer. Now21, Mitchell, a senior archi
tecture major, still comes to M-Shop
to listen to bands.
Kristin Degrande, a junior com
munity regional planning major, trans
ferred to Iowa State from a dry campus
in Minnesota. She said it was conve
nient that alcohol was served at M
Shop.
“The main reason for coming here
is the music,” she said.

Poehner sees a man drinking without
an armband. After discussing it with
him, she discovers the bartender made
a mistake and didn’t give him an
armband, even though the patron was
of legal drinking age.
That is an example of an M-Shop
problem, Poehner said.
“We handle things internally.”
Administration
That type of self-enforcement is
imitated throughout the ISU campus.
It makes students more responsible,
which is a good way to control alcohol
problems, said Chuck Cychosz, ISU
coordinator of alcohol and substance
abuse programs.
“If your friends tell you to back off,
you’re having too much, that’s a pow
erful message,” he said.
Despite the self-control exercised
by students, Cychosz said there was an
alcohol problem at ISU.
“I think we are pretty typical of
large Midwestern universities,” he
said. “We have a problem.”
Loras Jaeger, director of ISU pub
lic safety, agreed there was a potential
problem, but he said it was one all
colleges faced.
“You would be fooling yourself if
you said there was no alcohol in the
residence halls at theNUniversity of
Nebraska,” he said.

rived got into a fist fight, Casady said.
One party crasher pulled a knife
and assaulted Worthy, a 20-year-old
redshirt freshman on the football team,
Casady said.
Worthy was treated and released
from St. Elizabeth Community Health
Center with a minor wound to his
lower right back.
Another person at the party, who
Casady thought to be Muhammad,
was pushed against an 18-by-48 inch
window of an adjacent motel room,
causing it to break.
Hospital personnel informed po
lice that Muhammad, 20, was treated
and released for lacerations to his
right hand. Muhammad told police he
thought his hand was cut during the
fight, but didn’t know how, Casady
said.
When officers arrived, there was
no fight and the only person at the
motel was Worthy, Casady said.
Casady said only one person present
at the party gave a complete descrip
tion ofthe events. A suspect is current
ly at large, he said, but police have a
vehicle description.
At a Monday afternoon press con
ference Nebraska football coach Tom
Osborne gave the team’s version of
the events.
Osborne said a woman entered a
hotel room that was being used by
several Nebraska football recruits who
were accompanied by Husker players
and began pointing out players to four
men wno were with her.
The players and the four men be
gan leaving the room and one of the
men punched a Nebraska player in the
head.
A fight ensued which resulted in
Muhammad and Worthy’s injuries.
After the fight, the players report
edly borrowed a car from another
UNL student to drive a player to the
hospital.
The players said the car was being
followed by another car and they re
ceived a call on the cellular phone
inside the car.
The people in the trailing car said,
“we’ve got you in our sights,” and the
players interpreted the call as a threat.
Osborne said the players stopped
the car, got out and a gun accidentally
discharged.
“It was an accident,”Osborne said,
“the gun was not shot at anyone.”
Osborne said the call turned out to
be a joke because people in the trailing
car apparently knew the person who
owned the borrowed car, which is how
they knew the cellular phone number.
“From what I knew of the incident
at the hotel, the players didn’t do
anything wrong,” Osborne said.
Osborne said the Husker players
involved in the incident intended to
file charges.

educate voters to the issues, he said.
Combs addressed few foreign is
sues but said the United States should
be militarily strong and a leader inter
nationally. The nation should focus
on improving problems at home, he
said.
Education is important to him,
Combs said. He said schools shouldn’t
be associated with weapons, day cares
and illiteracy.
Combs said he stood up for the
right to own a gun, but the right gets
out of hand when people carry around
Uzis, and drug dealers are armed bet
ter than police.
Welfare and prisons should be re
formed to help provide a second
chance, Combs said, not a way of life.
Combs said he wanted the streets to
be safe both day and night. He said he
advocated the Three-Strikes program
and the recently signed Brady Bill.
“Granted, it doesn’t take a genius
to criticize; anyone can do that,” he
said. “However, it does take a strong
individual to stand up to what is not
right in our society and take bold
action to see that it improves.”
