NOT THE ANSWER
Dear Editor,
What evidence do you possess to believe that more alcohol prohibition on
campus (of OK U) will be helpful? Prohibition has never worked well since
Adam and Eve bit on the apple. A huge problem will remain, even if all the
new ideas are implemented.
Since 21 year olds who supply booze are afraid of being arrested, they will
not call 911, when the underage drinker is dying. Oklahoma needs to make
drug over-dose calls an arrest-free act. What parent would want the police
to catch the person who supplied the booze at the cost of their dead child?
