D.C. Myra R. H. Kodner Program Coordinator Frank Carrington, Esq. Unfortunately for some, the movie has been a guidebook for what they believe to be college life. While John Belushi and his cohorts on the screen may still be funny, people are no longer laughing at the very serious problem of alcohol abuse on college campuses. It's about excess leading to predatory behaviors and victimizations.
Alcohol abuse is about excesses that end in death or disability.
Pa watchdog organization founded by Connie and Howard Clery have been tracking crime and mortality rates on college campuses across the country . The Bryn Mawr couple's first-hand experience with violence and substance abuse on college campuses have made them the catalyst for reforms and advocating for safer campuses since 1987. In 1986 the Clery's daughter Jeanne was raped and murdered in her college dorm room at Lehigh University by a student whom she did not know. The school was aware her murderer had a predilection for aberrant behaviors and problems with alcohol and drug abuse. The figures do not reflect the number of students who have been treated for alcohol poisoning.
