Curtail tailgate drinking

Clearly the worst of the irresponsible behavior by fans would be eliminated if the campus ban on alcohol was enforced and it’s just as clear that without that most of it will continue.

At a time when the university has cracked down more than ever on students caught drinking on campus )on non-gamedays) and on university staff who now have to report any interaction with law enforcement (even prior to the outcome of the trial) it seems quaint but hypocritical that open containers flourish on gamedays on a campus where alcohol is banned otherwise.

Mislabeled vegan food unacceptable

As a former member of the meal plan and vegan, I was shocked to read Justin Crews’ article (“Mislabeled dining hall food cause vegans to drop the meal plan,” September 29). The UGA dining service has continuously overlooked the demand for plant-based foods, but now it’s showing its complete disregard for it.

In spite of the economy, the interest in vegan products is growing as people become aware of the negative impact raising animals for food has on our health, the environment, and animals.

It is the dining services responsibility to meet the demands of the students. While they continue to give poor excuses for their neglect, check out TryVeg.com for tips on” Vegan Eatin’ on a Budget.”
