Top 100 Colleges

To date, 134 varsity presidents and chancellors have signed the Amethyst Initiative, calling for replenished debate about whether binge drinking on campuses will lessen if the drinking age is dropped from 21 to eighteen. Why would school Boss men need to lower the drinking age? How would such an idiotic move support a healthy college environment and improve a student’s higher education experience? The fast answer is it wouldn’t. top 100 colleges
In fact, most of these college leaders agree with reams of analysis pointing to alcohol as a major ingredient in varsity and off-campus reports of student abuse, violence, sexual assaults, date rape and auto accidents. What’s actually at play here? Economics. In brief selling out to gain a buck. For example, Varsity of Georgia President Michael Adams didn’t sign the Amethyst Initiative.

Yet, in his role as chair of the NCAA executive board, Adams ignored and rejected the plea of more than a hundred university presidents, athletic directors and the National Center on Addiction and drug use to ban beer advertising from college broadcasts. You cannot have it both ways. The alcohol industry, which publicizes heavily to college kids, should be seen as complicit in its prompting of college officials to lower the drinking age. Alcohol advertising is pervasive in varsity events, especially sports. Many schools are suffering financially. What better source of earnings than to accept alcohol advertising greenbacks with the quid pro quo that universities will disagree for a lowering of the drinking age.

Schools must consider voluntary rules that say: No alcohol advertising on the premises of an intercollegiate athletics event. No turning a blinkered eye to underage drinking at tailgate parties and on campus. Let’s ask these concerned varsity presidents and chancellors to make us a promise to ban all alcohol-related advertising and promotions from all varsity campus and off-campus related events and prohibit alcohol advertising on all local university sports programming, including televised college sports programs in which their establishments engage. Then let’s see how passionate they are about revisiting the debate over the drinking age.

Money makes folk do strange things — even varsity presidents and chancellors. It’s unfortunate their scholars become collateral damage in the process.

Drinking in the Moonlight $11.98 New Radiant Storm King have been only sporadically productive in recent years, mostly due to other commitments among the group’s members, so it’s good news for fans that just a bit over two years after The Steady Hand, NRSK are back with their eighth album, Drinking in the Moonlight, and judging from this music the band is not only productive, they’re working near the top of their game. Drinking in the Moonlight is full of the clever pop hooks that have always dominated NRSK’s music along with a healthy portion of top-notch guitar work from Peyton Pinkerton and Matt Hunter, but there’s an energy, drive, and freshness in these performances that belies a group that’s been together since 1991, and both the melodies and the production (by Mark Alan Miller and the band) are muscular and effective. Pinkerton and Hunter, accompanied by bassist Caleb Wetmore and drummer J.J. O’Connell, have overdubbed the arrangements into something with a grand air, but the gingerbread doesn’t weigh down the music, and the brisk, purposeful sound of the performances make this one of NRSK’s most engaging albums to date. The roaring opening track “Soporific Slump,” the edgy “Eight Steps Closer,” the Beatlesesque “Fall Prey,” the big guitars of “Eraser,” and the gracefully tuneful “Little Ice Age” are the highlights on Drinking in the Moonlight, but all 13 tracks on this album are smart and effective stuff, and Drinking in the Moonlight confirms that New Radiant Storm King’s command of the poppy side of indie rock has only grown stronger with the passage of time. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Matt Hunter – Baglama, Vocals (Background), Bass, Piano, Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals, Guitar (Electric); Anne Pinkerton – Vocals; Caleb Wetmore – Bass; Peyton Pinkerton – Loops, Vocals (Background), Harmonica, Bass, Piano, Guitar (Electric), Guitar (Baritone), Guitar (Acoustic), Synthesizer, Organ, Vocals
