To the editors:
As one of the three sponsors of the Undergraduate Council bill that allocated money for beer at this weekend's Springfest, I felt that I should address a letter printed in Tuesday's issue.
Most of the money allocated to bring alcohol to Springfest is not in fact going to be spent on beer. Harvard regulations require that we hire a BAT team to check IDs ($400) and an extra police officer. Additionally, we had to acquire a one-day liquor license, and allow for the somewhat steep deposits on keg barrels and taps. Thus, less than half of the expenditure will be used to purchase beer, and the rest is necessary to have an approved party. Hopefully this will clear up the seemingly exorbitant expenditure.
