Drinking at Brentwood

Drinking alcohol in the 1960's was as serious a no-no then as it is today.  I can not remember a specific student being kicked out, but I am sure there were some.  Even though it was strictly enforced, drinking happened.  Just like the beverages of today, we had people who carried.  One enterprising lad who went home on the weekends, was known to bring a case of beer back to Brentwood on a Sunday night.  You can't just walk into a dorm with a twelve pack, so he took it to "29 Acres".  
29 acres was the forested land owned by Brentwood above the highway and students sometimes went for a run in the forest back there.  If they had paid for a MAP of where a case of beer was laying about, they were sure to go for a run... with a bottle opener.  There were a lot of empties in 29 acres.
