Thanks for the info on this topic..
I read the article and had a couple of concerns:
1. Why destroy the entire bar when Redman's concern is solely the tap?
2. I find it frightening that Redman is moving forward with the plan, blatently disregarding the unanimous student vote to put off the "BEER TAP WITCH HUNT" until the end of the fall semester... it shows that he truelly doesn't care about the student's opinions or concerns... perhaps to him, the term STUDENT simply means REVENEW (how farmers think of cattle)
3. Quote from the article; "In an interview with The Dartmouth, Redman described THIS FIRST CHANGE resuling from the Initiative as the removal of a strong symbol of alcohol from Greek houses."
If this is only the FIRST change, what is expected to happen with his other changes? Will he ban Beer posters in the houses (or something as rediculous...?
4. Further in the article he mentions "allowing" greek houses to have "portable bars"... now tell me, what is the point of destroying a permanent bar just to replace it with a bar on wheels..? What is he gaining by doing this...? NOTHING.
5. A quote I found interesting; "'It's a use issue,' Redman said. "Do students get BEER there? If the answer is no, should I be concerned? Maybe not.'" So, it is not ok to serve beer from the bar, but Tequilla, Jack Daniels, Jagermeister... those are ok (?)...
Redman must be getting pressure from people in regards to drinking in Greek houses; however, it seems as though he has gotten "off track" with the beer issue. Now he mentioned that this was the first change; I am interested to see what his next change will be, and the next, and the next....

Faced with the Divine, I was asked; "What one gift do you seek?"
I answered ever so meekly; "I seek Honor, Truth, Integrity, and Wisdom, yet those are four. How am I to choose?"
The answer came as a pounding whisper; "The four you seek are but one. I grant thee Compassion; for without it the four make none."
