Anniversary toast

Students and staff will be able to toast the University of Alaska’s golden
anniversary during a gala celebration later this semester. The university’s 50-year anniversary party will include a beer garden, Chancellor John Pugh assured UAS student senators on Oct. 6. Anyone aged 21 and over will be able to purchase and consume alcohol in a demarcated and controlled area. The gala will be held in the Recreation Center on Dec 9 starting at 7:00 p.m.

Brewing for science

A student club has been asking Student Government to provide funding to purchase beer brewing equipment.
Lou Hoock started the Zymurgy Club in fall 2005 to explore organic chemistry through the science of beer-making. Similar clubs exist on other college campuses. The club brewed about 15 gallons, but had their funding removed after “word got around that we were drinking beer, because we opened one bottled beer to do the final gravity reading,” Hoock said, a test done to determine alcohol content.
This fall Hoock has been lobbying student government to restore the club funding so it can purchase brewing equipment. Student Government president William Andrews said the request is in the rules and finance committee pending more information from the club. Currently the club has about 15 active members and an e-mail list of about 40 students, Hoock said.
