Almost every weekend in September and early October—and frequently since then—ambulances have shattered the early morning quiet with sirens blaring, rushing to take another drunken freshman to UHS. For many inexperienced first-years, these weekends are their first with ready access to alcohol. Thankfully no freshman has suffered permanent injury from alcohol this year, but the danger still looms, especially in the face of high-risk events such as Harvard-Yale. The College needs to make significant changes to encourage alcohol education and the Class of 2008 needs to see these changes...
...intimately familiar with the cheering habits of the “hooligans” who fill the stands overlooking soccer pitches worldwide, but—based on their record of drunken rioting and routinely beating one another senseless—I’m going to go ahead and assume that standing up to take in particularly exciting portions of a game is an accepted part of their culture.

After blasting through an intersection in his native Maryland, the 19-year-old was pulled over and busted for drunken driving. The pool boy had been partying with college students in Salisbury--a small town where the biggest celebrity spotting is normally of chicken magnate Frank Perdue. Phelps, who parlayed eight medals (six of them gold) and a squeaky-clean image into oodles of endorsement deals, humbly apologized. All right, but there's still the matter of those how-low-can-you-go Speedos...
