Mike:
What you say is all well and good, but in most civilised countries, there's
a codified system of rules. "You have the right to free speech, but not in
my house!" works all well and good when you don't have a constitution that
sets down basic rights for everyone, regardless of who or where they are. If
Dartmouth wants to lay down rules like that, they should make following
these rules mandatory for being admitted there in the first place. That way,
the students are asked to give up some of their rights in return for
protection from these rights being violated. But, once you go that far,
who's to stop you from regulating other aspects of students' lives?

drinking...how's that for university rights????
