Fans attending University of Wisconsin football games are being given breath tests for alcohol use before being allowed into the stadium if they previously have been kicked out for disruptive behavior, the Green Bay Press Gazette reported Sept. 22.

The Dean of Students office at the Madison school is administering the breath tests near the student admission gate. "It's not just the students who are engaged in this [rowdy] behavior, but they're the ones that our office has the most control over," said UW-Madison Assistant Dean of Students Kipp Cox.

For the first game of the 2007 Badgers season, 36 students are on the mandatory alcohol-testing list at the stadium. Those who are over age 21 must have a blood-alcohol reading of .08 percent or less to gain admittance to the game. Those under age 21 must have no detectable alcohol in their system.

Students admitted after breath testing who are then thrown out of the stadium again face suspension from school.

"Hopefully they're going to think 'I don't want to be in that line,'" said Cox of students. "We're hoping over time to change some of the culture around this."
