al policy the University policy will be backed up in situations that need them. Often student drinking happens off CMU property enabling the campus policy to do anything, it is then up to the Mt.

Eliminating sponsorship of events by the alcohol industry and other off-campus marketing, around the county many administrators have decided to not allow marketing of alcohol products on their Universities. I have experienced this first hand; my sorority has held the annual Mr. PhiSigNificant competition at the Pub for the last five years, with the new policies the University has administered we no longer can have it there because they serve alcohol. I now understand the reasoning behind the new policy and back their decision all the way.It is obvious that college students have a mind of their own and they will do what ever they choose to do. Wechsler has stated that We cannot expect the educational approach that most colleges are taking to impact binge drinking rates by itself, there are no magic solutions. Just as no single technique applies to all students, no single approach applies to all colleges. [Wechsler #2, 3] Steps have been taken here at Central to eliminate binge drinking but as Wechsler said there is not one way that can fix the whole problem. Different means of discipline and detraction of binge drinking need to be considered by the officials of this University. I believe that with more education and heavy consequence, which the students know of, the problem may decline and improve. This is a problem that wont go away with on policy or procedure, itll take time and hard work by all the parties involved. Students must first acknowledge that they have a problem and that they want to change....
