Junior Justin Guiffre, the Hatchet’s opinions editor, discusses the noticeable lack of debate over alcohol policy at GW.

Many of our campus’ problems are minor annoyances. Mandatory dining money is always a source of student complaints, 4-RIDE takes more than an hour to respond and, of course, that nail sticks out of the sidewalk in front of Ivory Tower. (Really, how hard is it to simply cut an inch-long screw?) But at least one issue is much more important than all the others, because it deals with life-and-death situations. I’m talking about GW’s horribly inadequate alcohol amnesty policy; or, as I like to refer to it, GW’s “sham”-nesty policy.
