Students may be granted two lots for tailgating near Jack Trice Stadium — a lot permitting alcohol for students 21 and older and an alcohol-free lot for underage students.

GSB members who authored the resolution calling for the creation of the lots and Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Hill are already cautioning the resolution will not be final as it currently stands. They agree there are still a number of details to be worked out, but they also agree the idea has potential.

“This is something we’ll have to work hard on to get into the experimental stages of … but there’s nothing else, really, that’s been proposed,” said Graduate Senator Dan Christenson, who first suggested the idea of a dual lot at last Wednesday’s GSB meeting.

“Nothing like this has been done before,” said GSB Vice Speaker of the Senate William Rock, who co-authored the resolution.

Rock said if all of the details can be worked out in the resolution, and if student response is positive, results of the resolution could be seen later this year.

“We may do a trial run during the last game of this season,” Rock said. “We’re even looking at having free food and live entertainment because those seem to be working pretty well with the terrace parties [held at the Memorial Union] … it would depend on what kind of space we get reserved for the whole thing.”

Rock said GSB could make arrangements for the lots for next year, depending on how the trial run goes. But if the idea doesn’t work, GSB will try something different next year.

Rock said the costs for the creation of the two lots may be divided between GSB, the Division of Student Affairs and the athletic department.

“I don’t see [GSB] spending more than $1,000,” Rock said. He explained when broken down, the cost of funding the proposed tailgating lots would equal about 2 to 3 cents of each student’s fees paid to GSB each semester. He said some of the costs may be covered by Student Affairs and the athletic department.

Beyond the financial aspects, there are many details Hill said he would like to see worked out.

For example, Hill said he wanted to know how underage drinking would be prevented in the 21 and older lot, who would monitor the lots to prevent underage drinking, how much alcohol each person would be allowed to bring and who would clean up the trash left behind.

Hill said these are just some of the questions he would like to have resolved, and said he is planning to attend the meeting to listen. However, he will also be willing to speak if called upon at the meeting.

“I’m just delighted that we’re making progress and talking about it … finding a solution that will be acceptable to everybody,” Hill said. “[However], making major changes mid-season is a little more difficult and involved than if it were before the season.”

The resolution calling for the creation of the lots will be discussed at the Government of the Student Body’s 7 p.m. meeting Wednesday in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.
