Living the dry life

Sept. 15's editorial ("The drinking game") states that, "Fraternities and sororities foster values like maturity and independence in their members when they function more or less autonomously."

It's about time universities and colleges paid more than lip service and the easy blind eye to alcohol and its abuse on campuses. My respects to Cornell - a university that enforces both its values and the law.
