The Rum & Black

More than a dozen University students were arrested on alcohol-related charges this past weekend. Will the student partiers’ punishment be to pick up trash after tailgaters, or will they merely continue partying downtown?

Almost all students who have ever lived on campus know just how easy it is to keep alcohol in their dorm room. Most Resident Advisers just look the other way from clinking backpacks and strangely cylindrical cargo pockets.

On football Saturdays, campus turns into one giant alcohol-soaked party. Good luck finding even one person not drinking.

What message is President Adams sending to the University by hardly doing anything to curb behavior on those select weekends?

If he thinks simply restricting tailgating to start at only — gasp — 7 a.m. on gamedays will help, he’s wrong.

University administrators are too hesitant to place behavior restrictions on football Saturdays because those partying donate thousands of dollars to the school.

The Red & Black [U Ga's student newspaper] covering alcohol consumption is not making the problem of a bad party culture on campus worse. It’s just an indication there is a problem.

The administration insults its students’ moral consciousness when it says The Red & Black stories about beer-drinking games encourage students to drink irresponsibly.

University students are adults who have the mental faculties to discern what’s right and wrong. After all, it’s the same students who were accepted to the University based on their grades and standardized test scores.

Thank you for boosting our self confidence, but we don’t control the entire 34,000-student campus.'
