B.Y.O.B. a bad idea

In response to the October 13th's B.Y.O.B article ("B.Y.O.B." by Ariel Ivas), I think on-campus drinking is a great idea. Just what IU needs. After all, Bloomington is practically a dry town as it is with its numerous liquor stores and bars selling and serving discounted beer on a daily basis. Some places, like the Bluebird Night Club, practically give beer away at 15-cents per draft on certain nights. So, yeah, I think it's a great idea to allow beer drinking on campus since not many beer-drinking opportunities exist for students in Bloomington, and I think allowing beer parties in fraternity houses is a great way to begin. I mean, it's not like fraternities abuse alcohol or anything like that. You never hear of frats involved in alcohol usage, alcohol abuse or alcohol poisoning. It just doesn't happen. So, yeah, let's Go Greek. Lets have more students like Matt Dills and Colin Thornburg of Phi Kappa Psi make front-page news for their beer chugging skills. After all, this is a very rare talent that both professors and employers look for in good students and future employees.
