As a U of O alumnus and Eugene resident, I'm concerned about student conduct. As noted in last Sunday's Register Guard front page story, students residing in the neighborhoods near campus have far exceeded prior levels of drunk and disorderly conduct. Apparently, "Thursday" is the new "Friday," and Eugene Police are spending an inordinant amount of time dealing with these issues. At the risk of becoming "in loco parentis," to what extent can the University insist on minimum standards of conduct and, if necessary, enforce them when they are violated?
