times.

Before Blenkhorn made the announcement, pub staff were asking people to put out their cigarettes, and two people were removed because they became violent. During the pub, some students went outside to smoke, a violation of pub rules. Byron Shantz, DSA president, said the terms of the DSA liquor licence prohibits the patio doors

from being open.

Pub manager Scott Hill said he knew people had gone outside to smoke at the beginning of the pub, but didn’t realize it was happening most of the night. He said there was no readmittance to the pub and he had walked around outside during
