Leaders should be ex- nd les to the ones they lead. By posting images of underage drinking, ■e not only showing that they don’t care to uphold the law, but ■pear proud of their actions.

If you’re going to be drinking, leave it ■ate, or don’t post pictures on a public page. If your Facebook JdySpacc page is blocked, then I don’t know what to tell you. jng it in the Clackamas Print isn’t the best way of going about Ing this problem either. But then again, is it really a problem if ■drinking is responsible, and has no attachment to school? ■ft le r 1 Student leaders’ underage drinking causes campus buzz pnicr Thielen Hitors, I just read the article; I am very disgusted that you would use some- s profile on a social networking site as a means of information. Kli you included the comments of various ASG representatives, Buld not have run this story in the first place. And, I really think Itfcre should be some kind of reprimand against you for running a Kchi related story and broadcasting a private issue to the whole ■enibody. ^Ke on you and where are your morals? Where is your con- ■nce' I can’t wait until the day you do something shameful and a Kecides to tell the world. If it’s a rumor then that’s fine with you I?No harm, no foul? Like I said students are going to look out for ■he rest of the student body is probably outraged at the contents Birprticle. I suggest a retraction in the next issue. li: |it< Kfier reading the article about ASG members’ underage drink- jg, I find it hard to believe that people in their position would ■as They are in a leadership position and should set a good |ple for those still underage. |am glad this article was included, because whether or not College decides to take action, the ASG members did some U and it should be noticed because of their position. They Idn't expect to get away with breaking the law, even if it ^■have anything to do with the college. If they don’t think ing underage is wrong and they want it to be a private issue, ■hey shouldn’t post pictures on Facebook. (die Teytmeier ■ent Iditor, 1 wa appalled when I read about the ASG members partici- |tinain underage drinking and even allowing it! pise people represent the college, and are supposed to be Jtting an example to the students and everyone on campqs I low they conduct themselves - whether it is on campus Underage drinking is illegal. Supplying alcohol to those un- |age is illegal. Shirking it off as they have is wrong. If one of them uses illegal drugs at home but not on campus, JsBiat mean it should not be looked at? This is the same Ing. Illegal activity by any of them should not be allowed and ^re should be consequences. (And as lor them mentioning that they are members of this °liige and ASG members as well, that does not look good on |r College.

I could care less.” I also think the ac tions done by these students were a mistake and did not represent the student body in a positive way. Even so, everyone makes mistakes, and these student leaders just need to re-evaluate their choices/actions. And, they can start by not posting photos such as these on Facebook. Brandon Wilcox Student To the Editors, Private lives are private lives. These student leaders who were “caught” drinking should be left alone. The drinking occurred off campus, on their time. I personally feel if you are old enough to die for your country, you should be old enough to drink legally. Come on folks, leave these young adults alone. What anyone does on their own time is not anyone else’s business. Why don’t we all be happy they are in school and not out robbing your house because they are hooked on meth? Get a grip and mind your own business.
