33Girl is right. If you don't agree with a rule or law, do whatever you can to get it changed. My generation (the 60's) did a fair amount of that. However, laws and rules can't simply be ignored.
Now, it also occurred to me that two things should be pointed out about what may seem like very conservative policies of the OU administration.
First, Ohio University was 10th on the list of the best "party schools" in the US -- a distinction that no university administration would cherish.
Second, two years ago, a freshman (not a Greek) got totally hammered at a couple of parties, got lost and apparantely walked into the Hocking River and drowned.
That's enough to make you a little on the conservative side. The point is, though, that when people or groups break the rules, they have to expect to suffer the consequences.
By the way, Ohio was one of the very last states to change its' drinking age to 21, and it did it before the Federal Highway Act 33girl mentioned. The fact is that pretty much every state had made the change on their own before the Federal mandate.
