WHEREAS, Titan Underground currently serves three kinds of beer Sunday, Monday, and

demand for such a move; and
WHEREAS, Other University of Wisconsin (UW) System campuses, including, but not limited

in the Titan Underground; and

Motion to move to floor by Pagan Student Alliance, 2nd by OGS
Discussion: UW Stevens Point, Superior and Whitewater
College Republicans will this make a difference where beer is sold on campus? Answer:
No only where a cash menu is available can alcohol be served. Petra: The current was set
up to ensure opportunities for people to have beverages but also for those that wanted to
have access to activities where alcohol was not provided, many programs sponsored by
Pepsi dollars, alcohol free events so students on campus have choices and venues to attend
where alcohol is not offered.
OSA 15-094

Representatives”) is the official state-wide student association for the University of Wisconsin

all Student Representatives related events for the rest of the 2015-2016 academic year.
