F O R 183 M A D E IN U.S. A . . P ^wing Issue Controversy Is Rising Over Beer Promotions On College Campuses Brewers Back Pub Giveaways, Rock Concerts, Athletics; Is Abuse Promoted Too? Turning the Gym Into a Bar By JOHNNIE L. ROBERTS Staff Reporter of THE WA L L S T R E E T JOURNAL BOSTON-Boston College, "Welcome to Miller Time!" It is a special night at the campus pub. The waitresses wear Miller beer T-shirts. A Miller banner hangs on a wall. Miller posters are raffled off. Miller beer, at 75 cents a mug, flows from the 30 kegs on tap. Joseph N. Marrocco, a Boston College senior and Miller's campus representative, cor he throng of about 700 students. Al-thi dudweiser, Stroh's and other beers will have their own promotion? later in the year, it was a heady feat for Miller to be first in line. "Miller will be in their heads the next time they go out to buy beer," the 21-year-old Mr. Marrocco says of his fellow students. ; Promotional nights are only part of a $15 million to $20 million marketing effort .that brewers and beer distributors yearly potir into the $33 billion campus-consumer market. Philip Morris Inc.'s Miller Brew-ing Co. unit and Anheuser-Busch Inc. spon-sor rock concerts. Adolph Coors Co. organ-izes turtle races on as many as 50 cam-puses. Brewers support intramural sports, intercollegiate athletics; student philan-thropic activities and ski clubs. They place more than $2 million of campus newspaper advertisements. T u t ti Mainstream' **We are part of the mainstream of ac-tivities," says Michael Roarty, Anheuser- Busch's executive vice president and mar-keting director. But controversy is brewing over pitch-ing beer to college students. College offi-cials complain that some promotions-in-cluding wet-T-shirt contests featuring bra-less women and chug-a-lug drinking con-tests- are in poor taste. Moreover, as m a ' " - 98%-of students drink, making al-co rrjost pervasive problem on many caiii^jses. " • 3 - . _i ne cauuyst for the concern about beer •MRwtkras, though, is the recent national law requiring states to raise tke staking age toil by 1986 to avoid losing federal highway funds. The higher age, which 31 •JUtes either already enforce or will en-force soon, in effect outlaws drinking by s*iany of the nation's 12.5 million under-graduate and graduate students. Generally, however, campus beer pro-motions continue, even in states that have raised the drinking age. The campus is a crucial battleground for brands trying to capture lifetime fans. "Brand preferences for beer and other consumer products are developed from age 18 to 24," says David Lewenz, G. Heileman Brewing Co.'s man-ager of young-adult marketing. Winning market shares is all the more crucial now, because sales are declining in the $12 bil-lion beer industry. A Right to Advertise? Because as many as 60% of college stu-dents legally may drink, says Mr. Roarty of Anheuser-Busch, "we think we have a right to advertise to those people." Heile-man's Mr. Lewenz adds, "What we say is that when you come of legal age, we hope that you purchase our product." Most universities allow the promotions, citing traditions of openness and a respon-sibility to help students deal with alcohol. But colleges clearly have a problem. "In a free-enterprise system, people are free to promote and advertise products that aren't outright harmful," says Ste-phen Nelson, Dartmouth College's director of student activities. Yet, he wonders, with students at an age when heaviest drinking occurs, "are we heightening that vulnera-bility?" Heavy drinking has long been impli-cated in vandalism, bad grades and occa-sional student deaths. Of 1,563 students re-sponding to a survey last spring, more than half were heavy beer drinkers, con-suming five or more beers a week, says Cass Communications Inc., an advertising representative for college newspapers. Effect on Students .Tnhn MrKil|in a psychology nrnfessnr flt Sffl'thpra—Illinois nnivorcjfy _eayc _ research shows that a fifth nf thpimi-ilty's 20.Q0Q students test poorly or skip at least nnrp a month ftfxause of drinKirr Colleges that allow or par-ticipate in beer promotions, he says, are "like hospitals running ads for cigarettes in their in-house publications." Thenv too, colleges worry about the lia-bility they may face when drinking stu-dents harm themselves or others. Dela-ware Valley College of Science and Agri-culture recently was -cleared of liability in a case that resulted from a highway acci-dent involving a student who had been drinking at a sophomore-class picnic. But such cases are causing concern among col-lege administrators, according to the Na-tional Association of College and Univer-sity Attorneys. -rncueaiiy every university is encoun-kring alcohol abuse," says the Rev. Ed-rard J. Han rah an, the dean of students at teton College, a Jesuit institution with 12,- |00 students. "We are looking to see if the promotions are contributing to abuse." Some colleges already have concluded lhat they are. The University of South Car-olina is banning beer ads in the student please Turn to Page SO, Column 1 Wining and Dining One-third of restaurant-goers order a drink with their dinner. 'J /-?- i - j o - v <- / 20 |THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1985 Brewing Issue: Beer Promotions in College Pubs And at Concerts and Athletic Events Spark Debate Continued From First Page newspaper, and the University of Massa-chusetts at Amherst is rejecting distribu-tors' offers to co-sponsor concerts. "We recommend that all beer advertising be taken out of student newspapers and sport-ing events," says William J. McCord, the director of South Carolina's Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. Colleges also are drafting rules for beer promotions. The Inter-Association Task Force on Alcohol Issues, made up of sev-eral hational associations involved in stu-dent affairs, in 1983 called on brewers to rid their promotions of sexism, stop em-phasizing heavy drinking and to support campus alcohol-education programs. Anheuser-Busch, Heileman, Coors and Stroh Brewery Co. drafted their own guide-lines for their distributors, patterned after the task force's. Alan Easton, Miller's vice president of corporate' affairs, says the company leans on its distributors to stick to the guidelines, but he concedes that po-licing is difficult, especially in bars near campuses. "The promotions we tell them they ishouldn't be doing are exactly the things they feel are necessary to attract the young crowd," he says. Brewers increasingly also are helping finance so-called responsible-drinking pro-grams on campuses. Anheuser-Busch re-cently opened an informational campaign called "Know When to Say When" that stresses moderation. Since 1976, Miller has contributed $500,000 to an alcohol-abuse program with chapters on 180 campuses. Bpt that is a small fraction of what the industry spends to promote beer, so critics charge that brewers merely are trying to head; off tougher regulation. Indeed, in a bulletin to its 750 Miller distributors last March, Leonard J. Goldstein, the sales vice president, cautioned that obeying campus marketing guidelines-"is critical to preserving our ability to conduct busi-ness in the important college market." Support of Activities Brewers have promoted on campus for decades, of course. Anheuser-Busch's Mr. Roarty began his career with the brewer as a University of Detroit campus repre-sentative in 1953. But promotional efforts became more aggressive in the early 1970s, when the states began to lower the drinking age and brewers generally adopted advanced marketing techniques. "It was about that time the companies started to support intramurals, campus un-ions, dances and parties," recalls Gary North, the University of Illinois vice chan-cellor of student affairs. Now, for example, Moosehead beer, which is imported from Canada by All Brand Importers Inc., provides Boston Un-iversity's 500-member ski club with Moose-head merchandise and beer at cost, says James Harrington, the club's vice presi-dent. The distributor also offers the club use of a Moose costume. "If we have a club meeting, we can have someone stand-ing around in the costume," Mr. Harring-ton says. The industry provides a promotional blitz for spring break, too. Together with tourism officials in Florida and other spring-break destinations, brewers offer promotional trips and beach concerts. Miller runs recycling campaigns on Fort Lauderdale Beach, trading Miller mer-chandise and free calls home for empties and rubbish. Anheuser-Busch grabs stu-dents' attention along routes to spring-break destinations with coffee-break stops. "Students can pull in, enjoy a cup of coffee and a doughnut and call home," says Mr. Roarty. "No alcoholic beverages are served." At scores of campuses, brewers help promote athletics. Compliments of Anheu-ser- Busch, Boston College gave out 1,000 pompons and 5,000 bandannas-with the Bud logo and the college's eagle mascot-at two football games last year. Sara Groden, the college's director of sports promotions, says she also negotiated about $15,000 of promotions from Anheu-ser- Busch to support sports that lack the high profile of basketball and football. The brewer "will give away things that we can't afford" and help attract crowds, Miss Groden says. Also, "the coaches will send those things out to recruits," which "makes the sport look real important," she says. Role of Reps Campus representatives are the brewers' direct link to campus activities, and Miller employs 120 of them. Heileman and Anheuser-Busch employ even more. Boston College's Mr. Marrocco is one of 14 students who promote Miller at major Bos-ton- area colleges, including Harvard, Tufts, Boston University and Northeastern. For $50 a week, Mr. Marrocco peddles Miller brands to fraternities, dormitories and student-activities directors and alsc-monitors the competition. Mr. Marrocco has helped Miller book two promotional nights at the campus pub, where manager Michael O'Brien allows one such promotional night a week. They "keep giving us promotional stuff" like painters' caps and T-shirts that draw stu-dents to the pub, he says. (The giveaways are tax-deductible for brewers.) Not all brewers' promotions are wel-come. Boston College's student govern-ment, which runs student activities on a budget of $275,000, is torn over whether to accept Miller's co-sponsorship of a campus concert. Some members "see it as student government promoting alcohol," says Jef-frey Thielman, the president. But a large concert costs about $20,000, so having a co-sponsor is appealing, he says. Still, administrators don't like the idea. "I'm concerned about institutionalizing al-cohol," says Carole Wegman, the college's director of student programs and re-sources and she opposes Miller's support- Shootout Is Shot Down Similarly, at Southern Illinois Univer-sity, Anheuser-Busch's $40,000 "Busch Shootout" basketball tournament caused considerable opposition last school year. The many Anheuser-Busch posters and other merchandise made the basketball arena look like a bar, says Mr. McKillip, the psychology professor Who opposes beer promotions. "Universities are in a bind be-cause they have athletic programs beyond their budgets," he says. "9o they are will-ing to take any money they can." But the opposition has caused Busch to pull out of the shootout promotion this year. Miller's promotion of a rock concert on the campus also caused a furor, especially a 20-foot-tall inflated replica of a beer bot-tle that hovered above the campus. "That was simply more than we felt we could en-gage in," says Bruce Swinburn, the col-lege's vice president of student affairs. But Miller does still support some student ac-tivities, he says. Beer advertising in student newspapers also draws criticism. At the University of ,Minnesota, the Minnesota Daily "accepts a lot of ads from bars that literally say skip your class and come and drink," says James Rothenberger, a public-health pro-fessor. Ad Is Withdrawn His file of ads that he finds offensive in-cludes (me for Grandma's Saloon & Deli that shows a man and woman amid bac-chanalian revelry. Its message: "Because some nights you don't feel like studying. Or is it most nights?" A large Miller ad shows a student dashing from his dorm-room desk as a radio blares, "Repeating . . . due to a computer foul-up, finals week will be postponed." In the foreground are a bottle and a mug of Miller and the familiar "Welcome to Miller Time" slogan. Miller's Mr. Easton says the brewer pulled the ad after it ran in several college newspapers. "'It got out there, and it prob-ably shouldn't have," he .says. But he de-fends an ad for Miller's Lowenbrau brand i that Mr. Rothenberger of Minnesota also found disturbing. The ad shows two room-mates helping a third student study, with an inset of the trio and two women drink-ing at a bar afterward. Mr. Easton con-cedes, "There's a very thin line between | doing appealing, impactful ads and intrud-ing on the purpose of student life." In some promotions, however, the line isn't all that thin. Miller once offered to have its six-member sky-diving team, called the Six Pack, bail out of a plane, land at a Boston College football game wearing uniforms with the Miller logo, and deliver the game ball to the referee. Not to be outdone, Anheuser-Busch proposed throwing can openers with the Bud logo into the stands. Boston College declined both offers.
