FRIDAY:
Before You Were Here
Half-barrel bargains
If you're going to have your
apartment invaded and trashed
by students you've probably never
seen this St. Patrick's Day, at least
try to spend the least amount of
money as possible.
For interested party hosts,
a half-barrel of the ever-classy
Heileman's Old Style beer is sold
at the Diag Party Shoppe on State
Street near East William Street
for the bargain price of $49 - $5
less than Milwaukee's Best,
which, at Village Corner, has the
second cheapest price for a keg
sold near campus.
Diag Party Shoppe owner
Jerome Kamano said he sells
between 20 and 30 kegs of Old
Style per week. He said that for
most students, price is the most
important factor when it comes
to booze.
"They are students who usu-
ally want the more affordable
keg," he said. "Most of them only
want it to get drunk and have fun
especially during the footbal
season."
For students taking it slow
with a quarter barrel, inebria-
tion can be achieved for a little
more than what it costs to spend
a night at the movies.
Village Corner, a grocery store
near the corner of South Forest
and South University Avenues
sells quarter barrels of Busch
Light for $32.50 - about $7
cheaper than most other campus
grocery and liquor stores.
A Village Corner employ.
ee, who declined to be named
because the store's policy for-
bids workers from talking to the
media, said students who buy
- kegs are generally looking for
value and allow quality to take
a backseat to quantity, she said.
She said Village Corner manag-
I ers mark up the prices of kegs
only slightly because their main
objective is to get students in the
door.
"A chain reaction occurs when
I students come in to buy the kegs
- they would tend to get ice and
cups too," the employee said.
t LSA freshman Vanessa Nunez
said University students' stan-
dards are low when it comes to
alcohol. For the most part, all
that matters is that it gets the job
done.
"Frommyexperienceatleast,it
I seems like anythingthatis cheap,
fast and will get you drunk will Peter Br
work for us students," she said. the chea
