Nan Clely, Shawnee sophomore, said the alcohol ban didn't stop him from going to concerts at places that didn't allow alcohol. He said that he was of legal drinking age and that he usually had a drink at a tavern or private club before he went to a concert on campus.
"If it's a good show on campus or at the Outhouse, people will still come," he said. "A lot of the underaged people will drink in the parking lots."
