After a year of careful considerations, joint efforts between stu- dents and administrators, and negotiations with the campus police, already we are jeopardizing our alcohol policy. While the Hanszen "Tequila Night" a week ago Tuesday may not directly affect the Rice alcohol policy, it is representative of the all-too- prevalent irresponsible attitude on the Rice campus about drinking. Reckless parties endanger the policy indirectly, but more impor- tantly, they endanger the students that attend them. Rice's alcohol policy is a fragile thing. New attitudes and regula- tions like the Drug-Free-Workplace Act reflect a society that is progressively less tolerant of drug and alcohol abuse. Even the impression that Rice allows or condones underage drinking may force the administration to abandon its liberal stance and leave us with a dry campus. Because Tequila Night" was an advertised, unregistered party with underage drinking, it may be considered a violation of the Rice alcohol policy. If we do not abide by the policy, then we are at serious risk of losing the liberties that we, as Rice students, take for granted. Rice is a wet campus for many reasons, one of which is student UN safety. If the campus were to become dry, as it is during O-week, there would be many more off-campus parties. If students are going to drink, especially in excess, we'd prefer they crawl back to their college rooms from the pub on campus than try to drive drunk, risking t heir own and others' lives. In addition, the alcohol policy guidelines—bartenders, ID checks, the presence of food and sodas, "drunk-sitters," security measures— Tolerance and agreements to disagree provide a degree of safety.
