The best they can do is keep driving into us how bad drugs and alcohol are and hope that we somehow get the message. The collected evidence from MIT and from Alex Wilson's look at the Dartmouth cocaine scene points to some very real and very dangerous inclinations in the student body, both at Dartmouth and at similar schools. I think they're incompetent. Three of them were married, two had children, and they had come home to Dartmouth to get high. I loved the bonfire, the pure pointless pagan pageantry, but that image, of sorry aging, will dominate my memory of Dartmouth homecoming this year.
Experimentation is one thing, addiction is another.
I don't trust the people at Dick's House to understand the difference, or what to do about the real problem.
