[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its an alcohol free zone which is a good thing[/quote]
Because forcing kids to binge in their rooms and be fearful of calling for help is a good thing?[/quote]

Oh, is that their "official" policy on alcohol now? FORCING kids to binge drink?

:roll: [/quote]
Don't be deliberately stupid. It's called "pregaming" where kids binge in their rooms before going to the "dry" activities. It's actually quite dangerous. [/quote]
And you're actually quite stupid to think pre-gaming is unique to St. Olaf and dry schools. At the other schools, they pre-game the wet events. Is that so much better?[/quote]
OK, this is not a hard concept... Dry campuses force students to hide in their rooms and drink large quantities of alcohol quickly because 1) they have to hide it and 2) it will be harder to obtain later. They WILL consume, its a matter of how much over how long. Students may hesitate to ask or call for help for fear of getting in trouble for alcohol violation. St. Olaf does NOT have a policy in place to protect students who have been drinking and solicit help for another student. Don't get me wrong, St. Olaf was DS number 2 choice but it is simply irrational to believe that students will comply if a University throws bans and sets stricter parameters on drinking rules and for parents to assume that a dry campus is a safer campus.[/quote]
