<p>I’m not sure what you expect the Administration to do. If a crime occurs off campus, how is the Administration involved? It might be nice with the Town/Gown relations were good enough that students are not usually arrested for drinking, but that is really up to the Town. Reading between the lines, it sounds like Lexington treats the students fairly well, but the problem is with the County (where I suspect that the University has relatively little influence). When I was there in the 70’s, this was not a problem at all (and the drinking was substantial).</p>
<p>I am also familar with other universities where the local police are extremely active in patroling for drinking/drunken students. This is not necessarily an LAC/small college issue as I have seen it in several “college towns” (small and large) where the locals may not “like” all the drinking that college students do.</p>
