THE STUDENTS' FIGHT
 

    Students will not accept the fact of their college going dry (Cashin 12).  In many situations this thought has led to severe disruption and riot.  Students are more than willing to stand up and fight for their right to drink on campus.  In 1998 there were at least nine alcohol-related “riots” on college campuses, the largest being at Michigan State.  Michigan State saw protest from the students when they banned the use of alcohol at the school’s traditional tailgate party (Lizza 12).  At Washington State, students attacked police officers with rocks and beer cans because of the recent ban of alcohol at fraternities.  At the University of Connecticut, students vandalized and set fire to twenty-seven police cars during an annual weekend tradition of partying (Lizza 12).
