Croatian Border Worse than Campus Po'

To the Editor: After my recent, near-tragic experiences on the loose in Eastern Europe, I would like to express my most sincere support for Dartmouth's alcohol policy. After being arrested and fined for public urination in two former Eastern-bloc states, and then being detained for 26 hours at the Croatian border for vomiting on a passport-control officer, I have realized that young people under 21 do not have the ability to use alcohol maturely or in a controlled manner. I, for one, will obediently wait until my 21st birthday before drinking another drop of alcohol, at which time I will no doubt be immediately imbued with the ability to drink in a controlled, adult-like fashion. Keep up the good work, Mr. Pelton!
