I do not. In fact, I would rather pick garbage for a living...
Masters, tutors and proctors instead need to convey a new message: It is a virtuous and valiant choice to relax, socialize and party while staying sober, and (for those of us under 21) while following the law. Convincing students to change their attitude toward alcohol will take more thoughtful and more caring leadership from University Hall than that evidenced by a mass-produced letter...
