Party buses. An elegant and practical solution. Kudos.TMH wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 1:37 pm What has changed in those 20 years are the tailgating restrictions. That began the new tradition of morning cocktails on campus prior to football games followed by staying on campus.
Let's face it, we had one of the top players in the NBA playing here for 4 years and basketball attendance remained stagnant.
I suggest party buses to the games
Tailgating restrictions along with the virtual ban of alcohol on campus succeeded in moving students'attention and social life to south Bedlam. The joys of unintended consequences. Shortsighted and ill advised. Removed students from a safer environment into town.
Admittedly my era at Lehigh vastly different. No coeds. You could walk to all sporting events. Party weekends were on campus. Beer was measured in kegs not cases of beer. Only now is LU trying to ddvise more rational rules for alcohol and parties. Not particularly successful. LU is trying to force juniors to live on campus as well. Of course there are not enough beds. Seems that died at least for now.
Part of getting kids to center more of their time at Lehigh to on campus activities must include sports as one of the many issues that have to be dealt with.
