hurt use
of alcohol
Students reluctant
to have it at events
By WENDY PRICE
Staff writer
The focus on the dangers of
alcohol and the growing threat of
lecal action could make people
more hesitant to serve alcohol,
according to a USC media law
professor.
"It's one of those areas that
people have to be more careful
about," Professor Erik Collins
said.
Fcwpr ramniK fvpntc with
alcohol may be another result of
liability concerns, as well as
restrictions caused by campus
alcohol policy.
When an organization offers
alcohol to students at a campus
event, the responsibilities are
numerous, Russell House Director

1 organizations. That means if so'
meone comes in, has too much to
1 drink and has an accident, then
the organization can be sued,"
Zuleba said. "It's then up to the
$ courts to decide." .
Under university policy, stu.
dent organizations wanting to
serve alcohol must have a
member attend a one-hour educa
tional session sponsored by the
Campus Alcohol Project.
In addition, the student
organization must register with
the Student Life office. Jerry
Brewer, dean of Student Life,
said, "They need to satisfy me.
We need to feel sure that
everything goes according to
university policy and state laws
are enforced."
Student organizations may sell
alcohol at an event only if SAGA
or another seller comes in to serve
Iand sell, said Mike Shaver, director
of the Campus Alcohol Project.
He said primary liability
rests with the seller because he

prevents student organizations
from obtaining even a temporary
