Just be honest on rules

To the Editor:

Community Director Kristin Deal shows us exactly what is wrong with the bureaucracy on this campus ("Water pong banned, risks of overhydrating cited," Feb. 5). She says "whether students are drinking the water or not, it is a possible liability if someone was to become intoxicated in water." I am sure that liability can only exist if students actually drink some water. Although it is obvious that the real reason water pong in the dorms has been shut down is because of the noise and mess it creates, Deal tries to justify the rule as a safety measure. Let's just be honest.
