Public Safety takes action at rugby game
Alcohol poured out leaving fans confused and upset

RUGBY TEAM PRACTICES LINE-OUTS AT LAST FRIDAY’S PRACTICE.

M en's mgby has become
one of Guilford's most
popular spectator sports.
It is normal to see upwards of 100
fans on the sideline sitting, soaking
in the sun, watching the game and
generally having a blast.
What is not normal is Public
Safety showing up in the middle
of the game to dump out people's
coolers and write-up fans for
drinking alcohol on campus.
This is what happened on Sept.
6, during the team's first match of
the year. The fans were confused
and upset. Nothing like this had
ever happened before. The mgby
matches are usually low-key af
fairs where authority is scarce. "It
was the only match I've been to in
all my four years playing mgby
where Public Safety showed their
face at a mgby game," said Ben
Snyder, president of the men's
mgby club.
Following the incident, the
team was informed that because
the mgby matches qualify as club
events, the team was responsible
for everything — including their
fans. If drinking at games contin
ues, the team could be punished.
"We could lose our club status,
which would mean we'd lose our
money, the field — it would effec
tively be the death of the team,"
said captain Taylor Traversa.
In the wake of this incident, m-
mors have spread across campus
concerning security's presence at
the game. Contrary to mmor, the
mgby team is not being targeted
by the administration.
"One of our staff went down to
support the team and saw tons of
alcohol." said Aaron Fetrow, dean
for Campus Life. "People were
practicing the 'red cup' theory, but
plenty more were just drinking
