The Government of the Student Body passed a resolution to create two student tailgating areas at its Wednesday meeting, but the resolution may face setbacks.

Graduate Senator Dan Christenson, author of the bill, said the provision in the resolution to create a lot where students 21 and older would be allowed to consume alcohol could likely be hindered as senators were informed by Athletic Director Bruce Van De Velde in a meeting that lots next to Jack Trice Stadium have no liquor control licenses.

This means senators are unsure if a 21-and-older lot could be allowed, because technically, alcohol is not supposed to be allowed in any of the lots around the stadium.

He said he and other senators will continue working with Van de Velde to see what can be arranged. He said concerns and questions over logistics and liability still need to be addressed. Christenson said a lot for students 21 and older will not be implemented until sometime next year because of this need.

“We amended the resolution from creating a trial run for the all ages student-only, alcohol-free from the end of this season to Nov. 8,” Christenson said.

“We’re just setting a deadline for ourselves. How it will play out hasn’t been entirely determined,” he said.

The passing of the resolution by a 26-0 vote with four abstaining may bring students closer to the stadium as the dry, all-ages lot will probably be located in Lot S-4, Christenson said. The 21-and-older lot will probably be in an auxiliary tent area across from Lot S-5, if plans with university officials continue in their current direction, he said.

“I think a 21 and older lot could happen,” said Assistant Dean of Students Vernon Wall.

He said for the idea to become a reality GSB would need to assure university officials that the risks and liabilities involved with an alcohol-inclusive lot could be minimized.

Wall said the current situation is unique because 10 years ago students could primarily be found in the stadium lots, but over the last five years or so the football team’s reputation has improved and drawn students into the stadium itself. Wall said this shifting culture has everyone, including university officials, trying to adjust again as students are once again asking for the right to tailgate in the lots directly outside the stadium.

The 21-and-older lot may be enforced by a “frat-party model,” or a greek community model, which could include students being required to sign in and out of the area, to show identification, to pass through only one entrance and exit and to get a card punched to receive a limited amount of alcohol from a “bartender,” said Agriculture Senator Henry Alliger.

“We could charge people to get in to get more money for enforcement,” said Vice Speaker William Rock, offering another idea that could be added into the resolution.
