That is when it was initially launched. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down. People, we are talking about students here. They do this to forget their lack of talent at the above. Drugs are a glorious escape, and to be encouraged, but they do addle the mind temporarily.
Students are concerned with getting through university having done as little work as possible.
Additionally, students are stupid and irresponsible. Student government should be left to the professionals, people who make careers out of this business. Students have a duty to learn and educate. This means that they should listen to those older and wiser than them, not be involved in some 1960's style liberal wet dream of partnership. Work like a bastard, play like a bitch.
