Dear editor,

"No kegs at Ball State," read the story headline. What? Say it ain't so, Joe!

Ball State University without kegs is like Easter with out the Easter Bunny or a Cubs home game without being able to sing, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." ...

We built a heritage at Ball State, by God, of being the No. 1 party school in the state. ... Now, in the blink of an eye and the pursuit of profits, a few powerful liquor store owners are saying, "No más."

So what if they do not make a nickel on selling the kegs? It is a public service to serve our Ball State students in the grand tradition. ...

We must stop this now; if we don't, who knows what they will take away next?

Stephen Hufford

Alumnus 1974, 1978
