<DIV>Tom - they do have alcohol policies and yes some of them do follow the rules. But the ones that don't should be sanctioned if necessary. You are right in saying "go to the source" i.e. Whoever sold to "the minor" should be penalized. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We, as CJ's, hear all the time about underage drinking at these parties. These parties need monitoring. Isn't that Moscow PD's watch? The kids are even as bold as passing out flyers with "alcohol served", etc. It is illegal for anyone to "sell" alcohol in the state of Idaho unless they have a license. In other words, when you enter the door, you buy a cup for $5 and get it filled as many times as you want. That is "selling of alcohol." Not to mention if it is a minor or not. Selling or purchasing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On any given Saturday night, drive thru the campus and you will see as broad as daylight where the parties are. Some of them are usually held on the front lawns.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If we stop the illegal sales of alcohol, that is a start towards a better monitoring of under age drinking.</DIV>

<DIV>Shelley Roderick inquires:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Can anyone tell me if there has ever been a citation issued to any house</DIV>
<DIV>on UoI campus for any alcohol related incident?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Granted, Shelley, that something needs to be done, as far as under-age</DIV>
<DIV>drinking is concerned. But prevention is the responsibility of the</DIV>
<DIV>fraternity/sorority. Fraternities and sororities must establish, and most</DIV>
<DIV>have, alcohol policies, and enforce them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>UI Sororities and fraternities are located on private property. The only</DIV>
<DIV>action theat the university can do is bar the sorority's/fraternity's</DIV>
<DIV>charter if violations become habitual.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Other than that, off-campus alcohol sources (i.e. grocery stores, taverns,</DIV>
<DIV>etc.) must be monitored for sales of alcohol to minors and those found in</DIV>
<DIV>violation should be severely punished.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Moscow Police Department does an excellent job, but even they can only</DIV>
<DIV>do so much. Do you have any idea how many under-aged DUI's,</DIV>
<DIV>minor-in-possession,etc. are recorded daily in the "Public records"</DIV>
<DIV>section of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News? I suggest you look them over</DIV>
<DIV>for this semester. You might be surprised.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And now for general information . . .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as alcohol-related incidents are concerned . . .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Who can forget Sigma Alpha Epsilon's "Jack Daniel's Birthday" which also</DIV>
<DIV>was sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, and Beta Theta Pi's "50 Ways</DIV>
<DIV>to Lose Your Liver" back in March of 1999.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>LEWISTON -- Bryan Ulmer told the Idaho Supreme Court Thursday that Rejena</DIV>
<DIV>Coghlan liked what Alpha Phi sorority could offer her at the University of</DIV>
<DIV>Idaho.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As an 18-year-old freshman pledge, Coghlan was excited about becoming part</DIV>
<DIV>of the house and happy about what she thought she could contribute to the</DIV>
<DIV>Greek residence, Ulmer said.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But six years after a fall from the sorority's third-floor fire escape</DIV>
<DIV>that paralyzed her from the waist down, Ulmer told the state's highest</DIV>
<DIV>court that Alpha Phi neglected to live up to Coghlan's expectations.</DIV>
<DIV>Ulmer, Coghlan's Jackson, Wyo., attorney, told the Supreme Court that,</DIV>
<DIV>despite what was decided at the district court level, Alpha Phi had a duty</DIV>
<DIV>to care for Coghlan the night of her 1993 drunken fall.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Coghlan took her fight against the sorority, three UI fraternities, UI and</DIV>
<DIV>the Idaho Board of Education to the Supreme Court after 1996 and 1997</DIV>
<DIV>dismissals of all the defendants in her case. All were relieved of their</DIV>
<DIV>liability for Coghlan's fall by 2nd District Judge Ida Leggett.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At the time of the investigation, Coghlan told police she was served</DIV>
<DIV>alcohol at two UI fraternity parties -- Sigma Alpha Epsilon's "Jack</DIV>
<DIV>Daniel's Birthday" which also was sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity,</DIV>
<DIV>and Beta Theta Pi's "50 Ways to Lose Your Liver." Police reports said she</DIV>
<DIV>drank more than six beers and mixed drinks before returning to the</DIV>
<DIV>sorority that evening.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"She was encouraged to drink by her new sorority sisters," Ulmer said.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After the parties, Coghlan was taken home and put to bed in the</DIV>
<DIV>third-floor sleeping porch of the sorority and shortly after, fell 30-feet</DIV>
<DIV>from the fire escape.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ulmer argued that Coghlan had a special relationship with her sorority</DIV>
<DIV>similar to the relationship between an inn keeper and a guest. He said</DIV>
<DIV>that relationship meant Coghlan had an expectation of safety while she was</DIV>
<DIV>part of the sorority. Ulmer said part of the sorority pledge was that</DIV>
<DIV>sisters kept each other safe.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That policy, Ulmer told the Supreme Court, was especially clear through</DIV>
<DIV>the houses "guardian angel" program. As a policy of the house, Alpha Phi</DIV>
<DIV>pledges were assigned to an older member with the responsibility of</DIV>
<DIV>watching over them during the year and during the Aug. 19, 1993, "Rush</DIV>
<DIV>Week" celebration.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But Chief Justice Linda Trout questioned whether it was Alpha Phi, the</DIV>
<DIV>institution, or individual sorority members who could be held responsible</DIV>
<DIV>for Coghlan's injury.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ulmer said, since the program was part of the sorority's policy, that</DIV>
<DIV>Coghlan had an expectation of care from the sorority. He said that care</DIV>
<DIV>should've continued when Coghlan, with a .25 percent blood alcohol level,</DIV>
<DIV>was put to bed on the sleeping porch. Ulmer said a sorority sister</DIV>
<DIV>should've stayed with Coghlan until she no was longer intoxicated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ulmer also said the UI had a duty to care for Coghlan since there is an</DIV>
<DIV>expectation by students and parents that universities should be safe,</DIV>
<DIV>including parties authorized and sanctioned by the schools.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"(Rush week parties) are activities the university is allowing on its</DIV>
<DIV>campus and is aware of," Ulmer said.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, UI attorney Richard Greener said the university had no duty to</DIV>
<DIV>Coghlan since she was an adult who voluntarily consumed alcohol.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alpha Phi's attorney Chris Kurley agreed that Coghlan chose her actions.</DIV>
<DIV>He said she was not required to drink or attend the fraternities' parties</DIV>
<DIV>and was not forced to do either by the sorority.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on the Coghlan case in</DIV>
<DIV>the next few months.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If successful with the suit against all or some of the defendants, the</DIV>
<DIV>case will be sent back to the district court.</DIV>

<DIV>Student death: Toxicology points to alcohol poisiong</DIV>
<DIV>Posted on: Wednesday, June 11, 2003</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alcohol poisoning has been ruled as the cause of death of a University of</DIV>
<DIV>Idaho student whose body was discovered inside a Moscow fraternity house</DIV>
<DIV>two weeks ago.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Toxicology reports received by the Moscow Police Department show Nick</DIV>
<DIV>Cannon, 21, of Troy, died accidentally from alcohol toxicity.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Police Capt. Don Lanpher said police discovered no evidence of foul play</DIV>
<DIV>in Cannon's death and have closed the investigation of the incident</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cannon's body was discovered the evening of May 24 inside an apartment at</DIV>
<DIV>the Sigma Chi fraternity on Nez Perce Street. The apartment had formerly</DIV>
<DIV>been occupied by his cousin. The fraternity typically rents out its</DIV>
<DIV>apartments during summer months.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cannon was known to have been drinking the evening of his death. He was</DIV>
<DIV>last seen at a bar on Main Street in Moscow, according to police reports.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Fall at UI Fraternity sends female student to Moscow hospital</DIV>
<DIV>September 7, 2001</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Moscow police are investigating the Thursday injury of a female University</DIV>
<DIV>of Idaho student in a fall from a UI fraternity window.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The injured woman was transported to Gritman Medical Center. Her condition</DIV>
<DIV>was not available.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>She reportedly was hurt in a fall at 1 a.m. at the Phi Kappa Tau</DIV>
<DIV>fraternity house, at 620 Idaho Avenue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alcohol is believed to have contributed to the accident.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hal Godwin, vice president of student affairs, said the student, a</DIV>
<DIV>freshman, had broken her legs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He said he understood the woman had fallen while attempting to reach the</DIV>
<DIV>ground from a window of the fraternity by crawling down ivy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There was not an official party ongoing. "It appears we are talking about</DIV>
<DIV>horseplay that got out of control."</DIV>
