Bucket removes pitchers, ups prices
By Michael S. Green
Editor tnChief
To serious beer drinkers, life's a
pitcher and then you buy.
But, tike the dinosaurs and the
dodo birds, pitchers of beer at The
Bucket have become extinct
Last semester's 64-ounce, $4 jugs of
suds are gone. In their place are
multitudes of frosty mugs - along
with a hefty price increase.
A 12-oz. mug of beer that cost 90
cents last semester now costs $1.25.
a 39 percent increase. Bottled beer,
glasses of wine and food items also
received price hikes, according to
Bucket supervisor Jeff
Flshinghawk.
The changes have made some
pitcher-less patrons angry.
"[Pitchers] are more convenient
for one thing." said construction
major Kevin Phipps. "I heard they
stopped it to control drinking.
That's bull-—; I know when to stop."
Flshinghawk acknowledged that
excessive drinking on the part of
some students might have played a
part in management's decision.
"I don't think they want to promote
drinking - that's part of it." he said.
But he added that few customers
seemed to mind the change.
"They seem to handle it pretty
good." said Flshinghawk, "We've had
a few complaints, but they're
■normally from the people we have
problems with, anyway."
An Informal survey of Thursday
night's customers, however, found
that many students disapproved of
the new policy and doubted that the
lack of pitchers would help to reduce
drunkenness.
"People are going to get equally
ripped if they serve mugs or
pitchers." said business major Jill
FMlis.
Equally unpopular were the price
Increases.
"Priced the thing that pisses me
off." said 21-year-old psychology
major Davin Young.
"The trend for the bar is to compete
with the Black Angus and
Willikers." he said, referring to two
popular Shaw Avenue nightclubs. "If
we wanted to go to Willikers, we'd go
to Willikers. The Bucket is supposed
to be a place for students to come and
get inexpensive drinks, fust like the
cafeteria is supposed to serve
Inexpensive food."
Actually. The Bucket's prices are
less than Willikers, which charges
$2 for a 16-oz. draft beer, a 20
percent difference. They're equal in
one respect though: Willikers
doesn't serve pitchers, either.
Down the street at Tequila Pete's.
