Last week, the campus police department updated its website and as I was looking around it, I discovered an interesting statistic. I came across a box that compared the number of liquor violations between the years 2006-2008. In 2006, there were 12 reported violations. This number seems relatively normal, or maybe even low. However in 2007, the number skyrocketed to 220 and in 2008 reached its peak thus far at 322! This is an astonishing jump in the numbers. And all these violations all occurred prior to the installation of the new cameras all over campus. I can't even imagine what the numbers are going to be for next years statistics. This drinking problem on campus could potentially become very serious if it is not closely monitored and by the looks of it, campus police seems to be doing a better job at cracking down on the perpetrators.
