Several student groups support the measure, including the Student Business Association as well as the SMU League of Women Vomiters.
An SMU task force, formed to curb alcohol and drug abuse amongst students, submitted a proposal on Friday to university president Gerald Turner.
The force is suggesting creating a campus pub so that, if students want to drink (is this really an "if"?), they can do so on campus property, instead of driving around the city, crashing into people and other things that can be killed or ruined.
The notion is sure to strike terror in the souls of many parents, most likely the same ones who look suspiciously upon university-sanctioned condom dispersion. But as a wise man once said, "it do what it do."

GWAR / Kingdom of Sorrow / Toxic Holocaust Only lead singer Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brockie) has stuck around since GWAR's start 23 years ago, but the huge costumes, raunchy and obscene lyrics, and fluids spraying into the audience are sure to be on full display as the metal band makes its return to Dallas.

Having gone to another Methodist university (Duke) that had a campus pub, this is a better idea than it may sound on face. (We actually had a pub/restaurant and a pure bar.)
Granted, we were further from other options than SMU is to Greenville, but it was a great place to gather and did at least keep us on foot.

I wish UTD had done this when I went there. I think the issue came up every year, and tanked every time.
Then again, I'd probably think it was lame and continue drinking at my apartment.
