“Sex, Drugs and Rock n’
Roll.”
The phrase commonly
used to encompass an un
holy trilogy of problems as
sociated with youth culture
takes on new meaning as the
University prepares to host
its first on-campus rave, “Lo
cal Elements,” this Friday in
the EMU Ballroom. With an
undeniable connection be
tween illegal drugs, sexual
activity and rave culture, the
University has taken steps to
organize for this unprece
dented event. The Cultural
Forum and KWVA, two
campus groups co-sponsor
ing the event, are working
with security officials and
community members to pro
vide a safe atmosphere for
everyone involved.
However, University stu
dent Emily Sedgwick said, “I
plan on attending, and I’m
sure it will be safe, but I don’t
think it’s realistic to believe
that security will be able to
keep out all the drugs. ”

Members from the University’s Hillel
