Samuel Smith said grandparents
were the key to dealing with mis
behaving students.
"The biggest weapon we have
are the parents; if you can get
1,000 grandmas on your side, you
can win any battle,” Smith said.
Carrie Mayer, student body
president at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, said the so
lution was much harder.
“I think there’s a general tradi
tion of violence,” she said.
“There’s a mentality of study hard
and play hard. There’s a routine
of violence every weekend. There
are fights at parties and bars that
don’t make it on TV.”
Alan Lizotte, criminal justice
professor at State University of
New York-Albany, said there was
a 600-year history of alcohol-in
duced student riots. The first on
record was at Oxford University
in 1355. He said the three-day riot
started after some students ac
cused an innkeeper of watering
down the wine.
Dr. Richard Keeling, medical
professor at the University of Wis
consin-Madison, said public poli
cy was too vague to better address
tbe high risks that surround col
lege drinking.
“Do they want to let students
have a little alcohol but not a lot?”
he asked. “Do they want them to
act in a specific way?”
Keeling said some policy risks
were bar density, drink specials
and service/server requirements
for alcohol-serving establish
ments.
Keeling said there was no di
rect cause-and-effect relation be
tween alcohol and riots. Above
all, he said, community must be

at the focus of preventing riots.
“We need to approach this
problem as ‘we’ and not ‘they’,”
he said. “I encourage us to be pa
tient and to wait and see; we are
still a heartbeat away from one of
these tragedies.”
The University of Oregon has
already been structuring many of
the strategies that Keeling ad
vised, said Byron McCrae, assis
tant dean of student life.
“WeTe at the cutting edge and
at the head of the curve, so to
speak,” McCrae said. “An active
part of the college experience is to
make critical safe decisions. On
one hand, we don’t want people
driving drunk, and on the other
hand, we don’t want to enable
poor behavior.”
The panel discussed police re
sponse to riots in Boulder, Colo.,
where the University of Colorado
witnessed two nights of conflict
between police and students in
May, 1997. The Boulder riots in
volved a total of about 2,000 peo
ple, according to UC-Boulder’s
campus newspaper.
Police have since compromised
their aggressive riot-response pro
cedures.
“If we can take care of a prob
lem when there are 50 to 100 peo
ple there, we can nip it in the
hud,” said Joseph Pelle, comman
der of the Boulder Police Depart
ment’s SWAT team. “We have
since then refocused on behavior
more than strict enforcement as
pects.”
Removing the rowdy students
is often more important than con
trolling any crowds, Pelle said.
“Some of the ringleaders in the
riots are still in jail — that had a
deterring effect, ” he said.
Greek houses and university of
ficials have joined in a joint effort
to resist the riot trend.
“Here at WSU, we’ve pretty
much reached a coalition,” said
Andy Boyd, president of Wash
ington State’s Interfraternity
Council.
Pelle agreed greek cooperation
is important.
“We actually had Interfraterni
ty Council leadership and student
body leadership involved in stop
ping riots,” Pelle said.
The University of Oregon’s Of
fice of Student Life found the
panel’s strategies especially en
couraging, said Laura Blake
Jones, associate dean of student
life.
“What I heard here was really
affirming that we’re on the right
road to dealing with this,” she
said.
