Either today's students were specially selected for admission because they can get hammered on one cup of Keystone, or perhaps it's time to accept that Dartmouth students also focus their brilliance on getting around SEMP's regulations. This cat-and-mouse game would have humor value if Dartmouth's harsh policies did not do lasting harm to the lives of young men and women, and if enforcement weren't so painfully expensive.
