Dear Editor: It’s an old story. Why be surprised? University leadership has made the UW band the strongest promoter of drinking on campus there is. Incessant use of the Bud song melody and “Roll Out the Barrel” popularizes and encourages student drinking. Yes, the students are old enough to be responsible for their actions (though predominantly under legal drinking age), but leadership encouragement through music shares the blame. Oh, yes, and don’t forget the example set by 50-year-old adolescent alumni.
