hspond to underage drinking

it is true, we all have a right to our privacy, but if you want your
jte life to stay that way, then posting pictures on Facebook that are
cd Enable is not a smart way to go about it. 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.
I short, if they are underage and want to drink - stay away from

when you are someone who is in ASG you are a role model
I modeling drinking pictures online so everyone can see, prob-
bl\ isn’t the best idea. 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

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.

Kfier reading the article about ASG members’ underage drink-

■as They are in a leadership position and should set a good

|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.

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.

Social networking has become asword
thrust into the betties of everyone who uses
it, or at least, that seems to be the image it
has obtained in die media.
The reality is social networking sites,
among die most popular Myspace.com and
Facebook.com, can be both a way to tarnish
your reputation or harness new opportuni
ties.
Social networking sites are a place online

Editors,
While I agree with the quote, “If an ASG member is in their
own home [drinking]... 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

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.

Both Blessman and Zuellte agree that

sure tfiey are a person of good character.
