It's boon a part of the Univer
sity for somo time now, but it's
n ore popular than ever, and it
: i sn't i ost much to join in the
fun.
Could it be tho elective to see
i through to mak i ng the
ile towilrti j>rariui*tion? Per
h ts if you know how to re
1 ax and take n lire.ik from tiie
ii ml academic grind
end too good to ixi true?
Then just stop bv tile EMIJ
i .detenu (next to the Fountain
( ;it) tonight and almost every
Friday evening and see what

■ . refreshments are worth
Tlte Beer Carden, the rumpus
watering hole which opens its
fin t night of the year this even
iiig,, has been keeping students,
a ulty and staff happy with its
deal on budget entertainment
lor 20 years The only prerequi
site you must be at least 21
vears-old.
It's conveniently lor ated so
von don't have to step off rum
pus to unwind It offers a time
ly respite {-1 -7 p m ) from a
week of academic overload
And it n< commodates 300 -100
rev elers, far more than the aver
age bar or tavern possibly ran.
And what more could you
ask for when there's no cover
charge for the live bunds, free
cinps and salsa (4-5 p in.), and
the $1.75 or less deal on u 16
ounce serving of beer on tap
On lop of that, if you use your
relillahlo 12-ounto mugs, one
dollar is all you will pay.

I ocal band Red Over While will dish out some good old fashioned rock n roll tonight at the Beer Garden
in the l MU Cafeteria

students to gel together. enjoy
uno another's company and just
simply relax," said Dennis
and usually from there they
make plans for the rest of the
evening."
‘We are very selective about the bands we contract to perform
at the Beer Garden in that we try to give patrons a variety of
bands, each with their own sound'

where often you get groups of
j -pie running into each other,
The Boor Carden Is Jointly
■ I insured by the EMU Cultural
Forum, which cooniinotcs the
live entertainment, and the
EMU Food Services, which
pays for the bands and arranges
the weekly set-up, drinks and
munchles.
It originally started in the
1','MU Ballroom before renova
tions relocated it to the cafete
ria. where patrons could hotter
mingle and have fun in a small
er, more controlled environ
ment.
But while letting it all hang
out and having a good time
may ho the only thing on the
minds of patrons at the Beer
Carden, Carr said another pri
mary role of the Beer Carden is
to “provide a forum where stu
dents can engage in socially re
sponsible consumption of alco
hol in a controlled, responsible
setting."
And toward that priority, all
i.D. is chocked before anyone is
allowed to enter, the Boer Car
den is put on hold when there
are high school or major confer
ences going on at the EMU, and
even the free chips arc served
unsalted as part of the policy
not to put a premium on beer
consumption. The emphasis, in
other words, is on having good,
clean fun.
And so far, the no-nonsense,
bottom-line has worked. Carr
said he hasn't encountered any
trouble at the Beer Carden.
Along with its rules is its other
goal, as with any business, and
that is to draw in the crowds.
Each year, a survey is con
ducted to see what more pa
trons want out of the Beer Car
den. During the year, promo
tional and special events like
comedy nights may be held,
