VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) _ The University of South Dakota will soon
become the first campus in the state to allow alcohol in certain
residence halls for students 21 and older.
Starting in the
fall, students of legal age will be able to bring alcohol in Coyote
Village and McFadden.
Associate Dean of Students Phil Covington says the student
population is made up of more than undergraduate students. H says
he took their requests to change the policy seriously.
Covington says he doesn't think the policy will encourage
partying because students know the policy can be revoked.
Student Emily Anderson says easing the restrictions on alcohol
may help retain more students 21 and older to live on campus.
