U-Council discusses alcohol, USG reports

Administrators and student government officials convened yesterday afternoon for the year's first meeting of the Council of the Princeton University Community.After President Tilghman welcomed attendees to the CPUC, often referred to as the U-Council, a student inquired about the University's position on the proposed Borough alcohol ordinance.University administrators have been reluctant to support the ordinance, which they believe will dissuade students from bringing intoxicated friends to health facilities.Dean of Undergraduate Students Kathleen Deignan said, "The University is certainly prepared to adjust our own University policies to be in accord with whatever the Borough passes . . . Our feeling has been that the current situation ? that is to say that the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by persons less than 21 is not currently illegal in the State of New Jersey ? allows us to tell [students]" that they can bring their peers to McCosh or Princeton Medical Center.USG president Joe Kochan '02 then introduced two new USG-sponsored committee reports on minority and women's issues.USG vice president Traci Strickland '02 presented the Report of the USG Committee on Women's Issues.The report discussed several causes for insecurity among women on campus.
