MONDAY'S BIG STORY:
Hooters Suspends "School Girl Night"
The popular "School Girls Night" at a Hooters restaurant in Harrisburg, Pa., was suspended last week following a wave of complaints from local townspeople, questioning the ethics and morality of such an event in their community.

Mostly due to the outrage caused by a sign advertising the event, the restaurant's management decided to cancel last week's edition. Normally, Hooters waitresses serve their famous chicken wings and hamburgers dressed in school girl uniforms of the Cathloic elementary variety.

Hooters Suspends School Girl Night at Harrisburg Restaurant

Hooters Expels 'Schoolgirls'

The popular "School Girls Night" at a Hooters restaurant in Harrisburg, Pa., was suspended last week following a wave of complaints from local townspeople, questioning the ethics and morality of such an event in their community.

Mostly due to the outrage caused by a sign advertising the event, the restaurant's management decided to cancel last week's edition. Normally, Hooters waitresses serve their famous chicken wings and hamburgers dressed in school girl uniforms of the Cathloic elementary variety.

The Harrisburg Hooters is located near many local campuses, including Dickinson College, Messiah College, Shippensburg University, as well as branches of Temple University, Widener University and Penn State.

"The schoolgirl theme is popular everywhere," a 26-year old woman who visits Hooters once a week to the Harrisburg Patriot-News. "Hollywood, porn (whether you agree with it or not) and even music videos (a la Britney Spears) have all maximized on this theme.

The manager of a Hooters restaurant in State College, Pa., near Penn State's main campus told the newspaper they don't plan on putting an end to the popular event anytime soon.

"To eradicate it in one place won't do any good," she continued. "If a man has the mental capacity and desire to violate an underage girl, he will do so no matter what the girls at Hooters are wearing that day."

Hooters had 435 locations in 46 states, as well as restaurants in other countries.

Monday's Suck

Ole Miss Students Could See Tougher Drinking Laws

Ole Miss Drinking

Students at the University of Mississippi could see a change in the way local Oxford businesses handle alcohol if new ordinances are passed.

City officials hope to enact an ordinance which would hold Oxford businesses responsible to selling alcohol to underage drinkers.

If the ordinance passes, businesses found to be first time violators could have their liquor licenses suspended for two weeks and face a year of probation. A second offense would mean a three-week suspension and another year of probation and a third could cause a liquor license to be revoked for a minimum of two years.

24 Duke Students Will Be Cited for Cheating in May

Convicted in Fuqua Case Cry Out

In what Duke University officials called the largest episode of dishonesty in campus history, a judicial board ruled that 34 students in the college's graduate business program in May were caught cheating on a take-home exam. More than a month later, the university has upheld charges of cheating against 24 of those involved.

Students at Duke's Fuqua School of Business worked together to complete the open book test they were permitted to do on their own time - a direct violation of the university's honor code. The students caught were in the first year of the university's MBA program.

In order to keep further controversy under wraps, Duke didn't release the names of the students involved or the academic course in question to media. The New York Times reported that the professor of the class noticed similarities in many of the student's answers.

Fifteen of the students involved were suspended from Duke for one academic year and given a failing grade in the class. Nine students may face expulsion. The students do have the opportunity to appeal the penalties.

Pot Debate Caught in Smoky Haze

Monday's Frat Boy News Pause for the Cause

University of Oregon (compiled by Matt Petryni, A letter to the editor of The Oregon Daily Emerald)

Arguments in favor and in opposition to the criminalization of cannabis are somewhat tired and repetitive.

But what is fascinating is the level to which a stigma concerning marijuana has penetrated the American culture.

Oregon was one of the first states to criminalize it in 1923. Fifty years later, in the 1970s, Oregon made possession of less than an ounce a misdemeanor - a form of decriminalization. Later, Oregon's libertarian spirit led it to solidify its place in cannabis decriminalization history, being one of only a handful of states to make marijuana legal for medicinal use.

It is difficult to explain with any accuracy the reason why over 60 percent of Americans continue to support the criminalization of cannabis. Some may support the law because it's the law, and they don't really care much more than that. The most common argument I've come across is that marijuana is bad for your health. This is, in many ways, true.

Cannabis smoke is cancerous, and the long-term effects of the drug's psychoactive chemical, delta-9thc, are a matter of medical debate. Some believe that it's responsible for permanent changes to brain chemistry.

So there may be long-term health consequences.

Yet this reasoning for criminalization quickly dissolves when you consider both alcohol and tobacco are legal. Given the serious health and safety risks posed by both alcohol and tobacco - which, studies have shown, are often more addictive and harmful than cannabis - it would seem that an obvious paradox exists here. Despite considerable research, I cannot find a logical argument for why this legal contradiction is reasonable. For those who do, please e-mail me (I'm begging you).

Some posit that cannabis is more harmful than alcohol and tobacco, or that it affects your long-term behavior more significantly, and some just submit that the Prohibition movement was on the right track.

Some regurgitate the "gateway drug" argument. This masterwork of reasoning rests basically on the proposition that using cannabis encourages use of more serious drugs. This reason, though, has its own problems. Would the drug even act as a "gateway" if it weren't illegal? In order for users to get a hold of the drug, they often have to find a sketchy personal acquaintance and interact with a cabal of small-time criminals.

I'm just saying, in order to have access to pot, one must, by definition, be a criminal. If the drug, however, were available at Rite-Aid, it would be interesting to see if users would as frequently go to people who participate in other criminal behaviors to find it. We should also examine the reason the drug was made illegal in the first place. There are a number of prominent theories to explain this.

One is that racism was at the heart of the depression-era campaign to criminalize the drug. The legal use of the Spanish word "marihuana", instead of the proper Latin "cannabis" or the English "hemp," is often referenced in support of this theory. The immigration of Mexicans into the United States after the 1910 Revolution triggered a form of xenophobia that resulted in our modern anti-cannabis laws. Some people believed that these immigrants brought marijuana with them.

This sounds familiar.

Another theory contends that proponents of criminalization were targeting industrial hemp, the source for products including building products, fabric and paper. There is little question that legalization of marijuana would probably result in stronger competition for the cotton and woodpulp industries from hemp products. This reason may, though, make more sense historically than it does now.

Industrial hemp is currently grown legally across the country, having very few psychoactive properties. Being that only psychoactive marijuana, and not industrial hemp, is targeted by drug laws, it is unlikely that our laws are any longer intended to do much more than stigmatize this industrial use.

We often ignore the culturally driven fears of cannabis. A good many people get trashed off alcohol every weekend, yet still we see cannabis as "incredibly dangerous." I can't say where this comes from. Perhaps it's simply a lack of accurate medical information. It may be the false assumption that it wouldn't have been made illegal if it were actually safer than alcohol. It could even be the lasting result of 1930s propaganda (i.e. "Reefer Madness") that led to criminalization.

The issue does offer us a lesson more generally: to know why our laws exist. The People should decide the laws, and to do so we must try to change the laws we can't really justify. For those of us who believe alcohol should remain legal, or who believe that the drinking age should be lowered (or are out there knowingly violating the drinking age), it is important for the cause of freedom that we try to figure out why cannabis shouldn't be legalized as well.

Indianapolis Police Searching for Girls' Bathroom Peeping Tom

The Frat Boy News daily campus police report for Monday:

Indiana Universty-Purdue University in Indianapolis (compiled by WTHR.com)

IUPUI police are hopeful to crack a creepy case involving a male who uses cracks to commit a crime.

"We've had a male enter women's restrooms try to peep through the cracks in the stall." said Captain Bill Abston of the IUPUI Police.

Police say four females have given a similar description of a male who peered into their bathroom stall. They say it happened twice in March inside the Natatorium.

"May 30th, we had one in the science building and then June 4th was in the business building," said Abston. "In these cases females would enter the bathroom, enter a stall close the door and they would see people looking in the stall and then make verbal contact and the subject would leave."

As a result of the man, who witnesses describe as a white male, about five ten, possibly with shoulder length hair, IUPUI police have beefed up patrol.

"Be aware of the people around the restroom, in the last instance the subject was around the water fountain outside the restroom door. Just be familiar with who is in the area if you feel uncomfortable call the police department," said Abston.

While the peeping tom has not attacked any girls, for many it's still scary.

"I am here everyday during the week working, teaching swimming lessons, so I often have to shower and change in the locker rooms here," said one student. "It kind of freaks you out, you don't ever feel safe when you are supposed to be in an area where there's only girls."

Campus police recommend that students go to the campus police website, and get on the activity report so they can get the e-mails advising the criminal activity on campus. That way they can stay up to date on ongoing problems and report any additional problems.
