Underage
By GREG RICKABAUGH
Assistant Photography Editor
Underage drinking was the concern
of Carol Seawell Sr., owner
of Tally Ho, when he decided to
ban kegs and party balls this year
at thf. nnnnlar tailaatintx snr\t
Seawell said he had seen fraternities
force pledges to drink
straight from the tap on the keg.
He said he was against such
dangerous acts.
"We don't want to do anything
that would add to minors getting
too much to drink," Seawell said
Saturday at Seawell's restaurant.
USC students, however, felt the
ban would have no effect on
underage drinking, and said it
would add a ridiculous amount of
unneeded trash from beer cans and
bottles. J'1
"I know tons of people here
who are underage," biology senior T1
Joyce Yu said at Tally Ho on
Saturday. th;
"It just makes you more cautious,"
her friend Jill Burr added.
Others have said kegs are sai
cheaper for students and do not Ta
cause much of a mess. les
