This year has marked increased attention to the college alcohol policy. We feel that the college’s alcohol policy deserves some serious discussion and consideration at this time. As it stands, the college’s policy remains vague, relatively inconsistent, and clearly ineffective.

Forget the new dorm construction pit, CMC’s mammoth crane, or even Oldenborg’s hideous stucco façade: The new ugliest sight on campus is Frary fountain. The huge Grecian urn that used to be topped off with a simple waterspout is now burdened with a hideous copper ball spewing little streams of ... |

Editor,
