Officials warn students of binge drinking, health risks
Students attending Green Key Weekend events may be able to avoid the perils of the Homecoming bonfire and Winter Carnival's frigid weather, but they still face the dangers of excessive drinking and the spread of germs characteristic of all big weekends, according to College health and safety officials. "Generally speaking, Green Key, as some of the [other] weekends, tends to be a bit busier than most weekends," said Harry Kinne, director of Safety and Security and College proctor. During Green Key Weekend, Safety and Security will take precautions in order to be more visible throughout campus, according to Kinne. Safety and Security will be operating with a full staff with two extra patrollers in the nighttime and early morning hours. "We try to be as visible as possible and hope students will contact us if needed," Kinne said.
