...anti-pong activism strikes JV Games' Jaegar as somewhat fruitless. As long as students "have access to alcohol, they will create drinking games out of any activity," he says. More to the point, if students have access to alcohol, they'll drink it - no games necessary. "You can't drink if you're not 21, but that does not seem to have deterred [students] in any way," admits Tammy Gocial, dean of students at Kenyon College in Ohio, where a drinking-game ban has been officially repealed.

"I was in their shoes and I have come out," he says. "Now I want to help raise them out of bad activities." He's had some successes: three of the youths in Sydney with him are ex-prisoners made good. The World Youth Day experience has made him want to work even harder. "While I'm here, I can't just do sightseeing," he says. "I have...
