Regarding the April 11 article "University plans to amend alcohol policy for 2007-08" First of all, I think it is important to say that all students did have a say in this policy change.

In his recent column, "Dobson's refusal." Colter Hettich states that he cannot think of a reason to not vote, nor can he understand what he calls Dr. Dobson's "irresponsibility" in publicly announcing that decision.
