While I think it's extreme to even think the moms would influence their daughter's decision and interfere with her happiness, I guess panhel needs to resort to this at Bama.

I don't even understand mothers' obsessions with their daughter's rushes, but that's beside the point.
I am, and have always been, independent and strong-willed. I've been a civil liberties activist well before the term was generally understood, and confiscation of private property -- by ANYONE -- is simply a no-go. I (and my daughter, I'm reasonably certain) would leave my phone locked in my car, or in my dorm-room safe, before I'd comply.
Different strokes, I guess. It's not like I'll influence the process, but I won't participate either.
(And what kind of women are we sending to colleges if they don't understand and follow appropriate behaviors? Don't give me "they're 18" -- that means they've had 18 years for education first.)
