Seen in today's _Hamburger Abendblatt_. Has cam.pm been showing 'em how it's done?
Rough translation by me. Drinking bouts at elite university Cambridge tries to defend its good reputation London - the honourable university in Cambridge tries to defend its good reputation. The dean of St Catherine's College, founded 1473, wrote a letter asking especially the female students to be more disciplined. The university will no longer tolerate "stupid drinking games and excesses of drunken, naked girls". Peter Tyler said, "In the first weeks of the semester, we already had two cases of alcohol poisoning. Another female student was unsonscious after a joint teacher-student meal and had to be carried away." When a female student re-decorated a toilet with the contents of her stomach several days ago, the dean saw read: he wants to carry through with stricter rules. Drinking bouts are now forbidden. Much alcohol was consumed especially in initiation rituals, both in groups of young women and groups of young men. St Catherine's College already dropped to rank 18 in the ranking of Britain's 24 universities last year. Tyler now tries to save as much as he can by appealing to the students' sense of honour. Whoever cannot follow the new rules in the future will have to leave. (SAD) Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All opinions are my own, not my employer's.
