As the three clubs consider going off tap indefinitely and the threat of closure to the public hangs over them, there are a few things that University students and the Borough should keep in mind.First, the Borough has both the right and the duty to enforce underage drinking laws when it has the evidence to bring cases against organizations which may have violated those laws.
