Rapidly descending the stairs of Winthrop’s H entryway Saturday night, Evan Dorsett ’16 announced his plans to desert a half-full can of Natural Light beer in the wire mesh basket on the door of Winthrop H54.

“There are strict regulations against carrying open containers of alcohol in public, which is where I will be when I exit the building and walk onto Mill Street, and therefore I have decided I will abandon this can of beer inside, where conveniently there is a door basket for me to lean it on top of,” he said.
