Texas A&M participated in a col
lege alcohol study done by the Har
vard School of Public Health in Octo
ber 1994.
More than 70 percent of the stu
dents surveyed at A&M had used al
cohol in the past 30 days, and 70 per
cent of underage students had
indicated use. Also, 41.9 percent of
A&M students said they have driven
after drinking alcohol, compared to
30.3 percent for other large public uni
versities. More than 20 percent drove
after 5 or more dr inks, compared with
11 percent for other schools.
Hanson said the 1FC has its own
set of drinking policies that includes
many of the Residence Hail Associa
tion regulations. The IFC requires an
identification program, hired securi
ty, servers and a designated-driver
program at open parties, as well as
providing non-alcoholic drinks.
Feather said the Corps of Cadets
follows RHA policy for alcohol con
sumption. This policy allows students
21 and over to drink in residence halls
if they are behind closed doors.
