That's weird... in my two years as a house adviser at Reed, I was personally involved in getting two students sent home for drug abuse (privileged or not, didn't matter), and heard of a few more. One of the most glaring oversights of Mr. Pitkin's article, apart from the stuff he just got dead wrong, is that he seems to be completely unaware of the house adviser system, the counseling staff, and basically the entire Res. Life Dept. in general. I think the privilege argument is weak and flimsy. Try again.
