U-Council discusses alcohol, USG reports

Administrators and student government officials convened yesterday afternoon for the year's first meeting of the Council of the Princeton University Community.After President Tilghman welcomed attendees to the CPUC, often referred to as the U-Council, a student inquired about the University's position on the proposed Borough alcohol ordinance.University administrators have been reluctant to support the ordinance, which they believe will dissuade students from bringing intoxicated friends to health facilities.Dean of Undergraduate Students Kathleen Deignan said, "The University is certainly prepared to adjust our own University policies to be in accord with whatever the Borough passes . . .
