Gow open to talk on drinking age issue

The chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse told students Wednesday heâ??s more open now to supporting a national discussion on how the 21-year-old drinking age is not working.

A campus forum Monday on the Amethyst Initiative demonstrated itâ??s an issue worth looking at, Chancellor Joe Gow told the UW-L Student Senate.
â??If you want to do this and others do, too, I think we can do this as a model for other universities,â? Gow said. â??There is a way to talk about this without getting drawn into the emotion.â?
