At one pointthe President of UW came to the faculty microphone and suggestedthe graduates point their champagne bottles away from the frontbecause the faculty was being bombarded by champagne corks [!]I don't go to Badger Football games any more because there is somuch open drinking of hard liquor.

I complained about this all with a Letter to the Editor of the mainalumni magazine.  There was a chorus of replies indicating agreement.
