speech.
The title of the lecture,
"Defending Freedom: Even for the
Thoughts We Hate," was derived
from Associate Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes of the Supreme
Court, who wrote in a dissent that
"If there is any principle of the
Constitution that more impera-
tively calls for attachment than
any other, it is the principle of free
thought, not free thought for those
who agree with us, but freedom for
the thought that we hate."
Strossen said she tries to echo
this sentiment in her work.
"The ACLU strives to defend all
fundamental freedoms - including
First Amendment freedoms - for all
ALCOHOL
From Page 1A
The University of Michigan's
approach is more focused on trying
to convince students not to drink.
Mary Jo Desprez, the Universi-
ty of Michigan's alcohol policy and
community initiatives program
administrator, said the University
doesn't have any initiatives like
those in place.
"We can't make anybody do
anything," she said. "We can't
make bars change their alcohol
policies."
LSA sophomore Rachel Rarus
said that while she's against col-
lege drinking, she understands
that it would be difficult for the
people, regardless of who they are
and regardless of what they believe
and what they say," she said.
Strossen and the ACLU have
come under fire for their protec-
tion of hateful speech.
Recently, the ACLU has been
attacked for defending the radi-
cally anti-gay Westboro Baptist
Church's right to protest at the
funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq.
"The ACLU certainly is constantly
criticizedby folks acrossthe political
spectrum for defending expression
that they consider to be dangerous,
evil or otherwise undeserving of
protection," Strossen said.
She said free expression ought
to be protected, regardless of its
content or message.
"This concept of viewpoint neu-
trality or content neutrality is the
bedrock of First Amendment," she
University to stop other people
from drinking. Still, she said that
the University makes a good effort
to control it.
"I think it could do a little bit
more, but when it comes down to
it, it's ultimately an individual's
decision," Rarus said.
Marsha Benz, an alcohol and
other drug health educator at
the University Health Service,
said the amount of binge drink-
ing at the University is about
average compared to other uni-
versities.
Along with a host of programs
designed to help students with
drinking problems, the Dean of
Students Office has developed a
campus-wide campaign called
"Stay in the Blue."
said.
She said the best way to evoke
change is to provide an alternative
argument to persuade the opposi-
tion that they are wrong rather
than censor or silence them.
She said that expressing ideas
and engaging in active discussion
is paramount to the progression of
civil liberties.
"Both for society as a whole as
well the individual, having to hear
offensive and upsetting expression
is the lesser of two evils," she said.
"Far worse is empowering the
government or the majority of our
fellow citizens to take away our
freedom to make our own choices
about what we see and what we
hear and what we say."
- Jana Florian contributed
to this report.
By distributing blood alcohol
content charts and other promo-
tional materials at UHS, the pro-
gram encourages students who
choose to drink to do so respon-
sibly and to keep their BAC under
.06 percent.
The office has also launched
poster campaigns telling students
to "choose to be safe and legal."
Another, more hands-on initia-
tive is Peers Utilizing Leadership
Skills for Education, a residential
peereducation programthattrains
highly sociable and connected res-
idents to approach students who
have health issues.
Benz said it's a good way for
students who might need help but
need an extra push or don't know
how to get help.
ADMISSIONS
From Page 1A
using subtle "discernment" among
cases that are identical according to
those initial criteria.
Stevens described how harder
admissions decisions demand more
discussion on the part of admis-
sions officers.
In order to make decisions on
"tough calls," the applicant whose
"story" was most convincing when
retold bythe admissions officers often
got admitted. Stevens called this a
"clear and systematic disadvantage"
for less-affluent applicants, because
wealthier students have more stories
to tell and tell them better.
"Those who have the resourc-
es to deliver more information to
evaluators are more systematically
favored," Stevens said.
But Stevens was quick to point
out that equality in educational
opportunities is not necessarily an
attainable goal in the field of college
admissions.
"Prestige is by definition exclu-
sionary," Stevens said. "It says
that some thing, some people,
some knowledge and some places
are better than others which runs
directly counter to a commitment
that many Americans have to edu-
cational equity."
Stevens was quick to applaud
schools for making their admissions
processes more transparent and
merit-driven, but he also mentioned
that regardless of how the process is
constructed, not everyone can win.
"However we write the rules of
admissions there's never going to be
enough for everybody, there's never
going to be enough excellence for
everybody," Stevens said.

From page 1A
event seemed very in line with the
libertarian belief that people have
the right to own weapons," Irvine
said. "As a Republican, I am fully in
favor of Second Amendment rights."
Irvine said that ultimately the
responsibility of gun ownerships
lies with the owner.
LSA senior Sam Harper, chair of
the University chapter of College
Democrats, said his group doesn't
have a single stance on gun issues.
Asked whether more guns would
help lead to a safer campus, Harper
responded, "The presence of guns
wouldn't necessarily help that."
Harper said that the best way to
increase campus safety is to build an
"inclusive and aware community"
in Ann Arbor.
