But not for having a student die from a toxic mix of alcohol and methadone. UH should be required to step forward and permanently terminate all students who at any time check positive with any drugs. Period. All addictive drugs are defined by the medical profession as "mind altering." Thus, in Math QED, all students on any drug are already, or have already, started deteriorating their brain system. Why waste good money, time and space on students who knowingly have decided to blow their brains into uselessness when there are undoubtedly other prospective students in line to step in and fill the gaps? If they check positive on any drugs, throw the buggahs out -- permanently -- and have the next applicants step forward. Ted Gibson Kailua - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
