In freshman Catherine Castillo's opinion, Duke's alcohol policy isn't so strict. "I've never felt I was going to get caught unless I was outside and the cops were right there," she said. "Once at a party, there were undergrads drinking and the cops just came and told us to turn the music off. [They] didn't check IDs or anything." Although the Sunday-morning Solo cups littering campus may indicate a relaxed attitude toward alcohol regulations, University policy seems to be on par with peer institutions, and administrators said they did not expect the recent appointment of an alcohol coordinator to bring much change. Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said Tom Szigethy, current director of the Office of Alcohol and Other Drugs Education and Services at the University of Connecticut, was appointed earlier this semester to the newly created position of director of alcohol and substance abuse prevention. Szigethy, who will start in Fall 2008, will serve as a drug and alcohol consultant to anyone on campus and also maintain the University's alcohol-and-drug-related data, Wasiolek added. Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said Duke has taken recommendations from Philip Cook, author of "Paying the Tab: The Costs and Benefits of Alcohol Control," into consideration in hiring the new alcohol coordinator. Cook, ITT/Terry Sanford professor of public policy studies, said he thinks more clarifications can be made and systematic approaches taken toward Duke's alcohol policy. "We need to pay more attention to extreme cases where students [binge drink] on alcohol and end up being transported to the emergency room," Cook said. "In a sense those are the cases with the greatest potential for harm to the students and the University." He added that regular reports on all aspects of drinking will help the school develop more effective policies. But Moneta said he did not think changes to University policy would alter student behavior, adding that he did not anticipate revisions in the near future. "I've been doing this for 35 years," he said. "I've never seen a policy be positive or negative. As far as I'm concerned the policy itself is not a substantial inhibitor to social life or substantial contributor to it." Some students, like sophomore Stephanie Tepperberg, said they agreed with Moneta and added that experience is the best educator. "I think that [students' drinking] can get out of hand sometimes," Tepperberg said. "I think that it [gets better] with just a sense of maturity. I've known people who've gone to the hospital, I've known people who've gotten hurt from drinking, but I also know that many of them have not done it again." Freshman Alberto Lopez noted that the student body should not be subjected to stricter policy because of individual's actions. "Since the entire student population isn't visiting Duke [University Medical Center] every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, it is clearly a sign that a very small minority [of students] don't know how to control themselves and drink till they can't feel feelings anymore," he said. Currently, Duke's alcohol policy does not charge students with disciplinary action if a student who has been drinking requires medical assistance, placing emphasis on safety and health first. The policy states, however, that the student must meet with a substance abuse specialist in Counseling and Psychological Services. Guidelines at other schools, such as Emory University's medical amnesty program, have similar intentions. In addition, Duke's other policies on alcohol control and regulation appear to be similar to its peer institutions. Similar to the University's party monitor system, Wake Forest University uses compliance regulators to evaluate and control social events, said Kenneth Zick, Wake's vice president for student life and instructional resources. Instead of an alcohol coordinator, Zick said Wake has an Alcohol Task Force-which is comprised of students, faculty, administrators and health educators-to look into alcohol-related problems around campus and make recommendations for change. Although Moneta characterized Duke's allowance of kegs at school events as a liberal policy, Wake also grants permission for kegs on its campus.
