You touch on an interesting part of APO... Risk Management Policy...
let's say There's a student on your campus...
big time involved in APO...
but also big time involved in say "Timothy O'Leary Children" (LSD priest of
the 60s)
This person is known as "APO Man" even when he's standing by himself...
then he gets busted for LSD possession. Where does the line lie? My
impression
is that if you have to ask... your over it. (and I've heard board member
pushing
that line) Which is in a way unfair... Joe Schmuck is more constrained
because
he's well known as an APO person... but Susan Schmo isn't because unless
she's
wearing her letters no one would know she's a brother.
just a thought...
