>>>Let's see. They were athletes in season having a keg party. While these guys may or may not have been underage (I don't know how old they were then), it seems pretty likely that some of the people at the party were underage.

>Yep, but that doesn't mean we have to approve. I know as a parent the whole question of alcohol is a real challenge for the institutions. When my son trained to help with freshman move in at Amherst, part of the training was lots of repetition of "don't give the freshman alcohol." OTOH, the schools need the kids to know that they can call on security and health services when there's a problem. So they have to walk a careful line, kind of like the one we do as parents when we say "We don't want you to do this, but know that you can call at any time and we'll come rescue you."

>>>Beyond that, yeah, I think hiring strippers is wrong. Not illegal, but morally wrong.

>>Then you are also questioning the character of the woman?

>I'm questioning her decision to support herself by taking off her clothes, but I also understand that she may not have had a whole lot of choices to earn the kind of money she needed.

>Tamar

She has past history of this sort of thing. She even tried to run over a police officer while driving a stolen taxi cab.
