Correction
On Tuesday, The Argus reported that the field hockey team had been outscored by its opponents 33-21, when in fact it was actually the converse.
In the Tuesday, Oct. 17 issue, the "WSA Reports" article on page 6 said that individual gatherings in private residences, such as personal birthday parties, do not require a permit and it said that program houses are considered individual private domains. This is not true. Program houses are considered organizations and thebuildings are considered by the University to be organizations as well. Therefore, no alcohol is allowed in them at any time without a liquor permit.
