Schools Out for Grateful Dead: The Grateful Dead have been banned at UC Berkeley and Stanford University because of “Deadheads” who like to camp out while awaiting concerts. Both schools told the Bay Area band that it is no longer welcome to perform its annual concerts on the campuses. Police said 30 to 50 arrests--mostly drug-related--are made each summer when the Dead performs its three-concert stand. The band was also bounced from Irvine Meadows in Orange County this year because of similar disruptions.
