The first home football game falls on September 16. In the past, May Day and Allyn Fest seem to mark The University of Akron with a bad reputation. These traditional parties have seemed to create headlines and havoc. The preparation has been a year-long task for many University officials and local leaders. Many students must realize that if they participate in any alcohol-related adventures, they must have a permit if alcohol will be sold or distributed.
Many students think that the enforcement is a crackdown on a college life and social experiences.
This is not only for on-campus students, but for residents and the nearby neighborhoods. The Akron police and The University police are joining forces to help endure safety for all. This Task Force Meeting has been an interaction for officials who wish to be more involved in campus affairs. Past attitudes and situations have greatly influenced official decisions, such as the cancellation of The University's May Day programming and a decrease in publicity for major campus parties. This will not put a damper on any legal festivities.
