Washington State University, which once appeared on lists of top party schools, is moving to allow hard liquor sales at its student union building, golf course and before football games.

In March, school administrators changed a long-standing alcohol and drug policy to allow on-campus hard liquor sales at some new restaurants on campus. A section regulating alcohol sales on football game days was altered to allow liquor to be sold in the Hollingberry Fieldhouse adjacent to Martin Stadium, where only beer and wine sales previously were allowed.

Wazzu officials say a quiet, well-controlled bar in the Compton Union Building would offer an alternative for students, staff and faculty who don’t want to go to a louder college bar. (AP)
