MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY TO STUDENTS:
YOU CAN'T SHIT OUTSIDE HERE ANYMORE from WZZM.com: MSU CONSIDERS BAN ON OPEN ALCOHOL ' The [MSU] Board of Trustees plans to vote Feb. 11 on whether to ban open alcohol on campus. Exceptions would be made for pre-football game tailgating in designated spots. In MSU's latest move to stop destructive drinking, the ban would slap violators with up to a $100 fine and 90 days in jail. If approved, the ban could go into effect immediately. "Sure, it's going to be a big change," MSU President Lou Anna Simon said Friday after her first board meeting since taking over for Peter McPherson. "It's not just about what parents and others want. There are students here who don't like to have to walk through a group of people drinking to get to their dorms." The ban would mean no more wandering through campus sipping beer. No lounging in front of the residence halls with a six-pack. And no more makeshift tailgating parties on game days. "People will be very angry," MSU student Jacob Horner said. ... In addition to the open alcohol ordinance, the trustees will vote to specifically outlaw public urination and defecation. ' and from State News, MSU's Independent Voice: ' Last week, ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government, passed a bill that supports the ban on public urination. "It's common sense," Student Assembly Chairman Andrew Schepers said. "in a perfect society, this wouldn't have to happen, anyway." ..."We've had just huge numbers of people, men and women both, urinating outside the building[s]," said [Paul] Goldblatt, who supports the ban. "It's pretty disturbing, that's for sure. ... That should not happen on a campus setting.... I certainly hope that's not what we stand for." ' |
