Businessi] beerpolic By TOMMY HAYES Gamecock Staff Writer A policy of the university that gives the Golden Spur exclusive rights to cater beer or all activities at Bell Camp is monopolistic and discourages student use of the camp, according to a Columbia businessman. 9 The policy states that all groups, including those not affiliated with USC. must purchase their beer from the Golden Spur if they wish to use Bell Camp. If they decline, the right to serve beer at Bell Camp will be forfeited. "As an alumni of USC and a businessman, I am unhappy with this setup for two reasons," Tom dtmiHomiro maniicror r?f f Via VV/UVtVIAlIA V } lliuuugvi V Jk tllV Second Level in Five Points, said. ^ "First, this situation directly discourages the use of Bell Camp by students and interested outside groups.

"The policy gives the university a degree of control over the amount of beer consumed at Bell Camp," Stoy said. "There used to be lots of trouble. Many groups misused their beer privileges or left the camp grounds a mess. Now we have some control over this." Phil Lownes, director at Bell Camp, agreed with Stoy's assessment of the policy. "OUR PRICES are the cheapest around," Stoy said. But Stoudemire disagreed with Lownes' and Stoy's statements. "In the past, the Golden Spur was charging up to $5 more on each keg of beer," he said. "When a group calls for 20 kegs this means that $100 is going somewhere. Supposedly it is a bartender fee, but the average fee for a bartender is only about $15 a night. According to Stoy, when a group orders seven or more kees, two bartenders must be present. But the Golden Spur has reduced its keg prices this year, according to Stoudemire. THE SPUR now sells a 15 gallon keg for $31.50. Michelob is $34.50. "Last year the Golden Spur was selling kegs from $36 to $39," Stoudemire said. "The Spur is covering up now by selling at competetive prices." r ? 1 i mi i Onion Rings & Orange Mr. Misty Freeze with purchase of Super Chili Cheese Dog I I ^fljgr i IOHcr (KWl thru Nov. 30tti only at | 1344 Rosewood Drive NO , |^ (mu?t present coupon) SUBSTITUTIONS | IfADY FOI IfTWIAVO W ILEATI ubSeaHdltipleV 4 nomivvfi. nnvm im.
