•. , .,•' f •; ; . % ill Mil 1 Dean of Student Judicial Affairs Patricia Bass was quite right to threaten Brown College with the revocation of its alcohol privileges unless it begins to comply with the alcohol policy immediately. Brown's student government seems to have practiced negligent non- enforcement of the alcohol policy punctuated by a couple of spectacularly I blatant policy violations, the most recent a party that engulfed the entire 7th floor Friday The consequences of excessive drinkit\g have sent Brown freshmen to both the hospital and the county jail this year. Brown College isn't alone in having elected student leaders who take a soft line on the alcohol policy, and if isn't the only college to have played host to "a "private" party that spilled out into the hallway But the foundation of tlie alcohol policy rests on the principlesof self-responsibil- ity and self enforcement: Texas and Houston trust Rice to enforce state law and the Campus Police, Bass and University Court expect the colleges to uphold the school rules written to comply with that law. In this last regard, Brown failed in its duty. The death of a freshman student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology earlier this year should remind us that college students, oftenffreshmen and underage, often die ol alcohol poisoning.
