Huh...looks like the Corvallis Police bust drug dealers also...funny. You broke the law and you got an MIP get over it. When you get bad service at a store do you write the paper about it? No.. so let it go.

amen whit!!!

Block party is canceled, I hope that the police do not try to still stick blame on anyone residing in the 11th street block. We are all respectful, intelligent, and driven students, partying is a part of everyday life when your coming up in society. Its more constructive than a lot of alternatives. You're only young once.

I'm sorry Whit that really sucks I hope you don't get in too much trouble and that she had a good birthday minus cops and all.

Giving everyone MIP's and hosting fees will not, and does not stop teenagers from drinking. Dumping out their alcohol does. Simple as that. They were out of line and disrespectful. As far as how they represented the Corvallis Police Department, most students would probably say the cynical stereo type of police officers holds true. Leaving with an MIP doesn't make you sober up, or stop alcohol consumption. It does however make you wonder why the police department aren't spending their time finding real criminals, you know, those who are out raping girls, robbing banks, and perhaps even murdering people..

Liam: Research widespread last 50 yrs. in depth and detail in education,communications, sociology, psychology, all showing strong influence on teens, "youngers" (up to 20's) shaping distorted lifestyle advertising. Tobacco perversion strong enough to force multi-billion settlement via U.S. suit, in '98, forcing broad changes in canny advertising to protect victims seduced by perversion. PM among worst involved, with record of suppressing known dangers while adding to nicotine-content. See Op Eds. Alcohol-sales facing same approach soon at fed-level.

To all: Mistated comment: Deceased was Grandson's best friend. G/s torn between choice !-- mentioned only to point up DUI-dangers, now about to get much stronger public action. Re Cvls, lived there for M.Ed., before this kind of situation with police, then reasonable, rational public service-oriented. Comments here proving up power of demo-dialog, and hope bring remedy where demanded. IF case vs police can be proven, good luck and full support. From yrs of jrnlsm with many, find 98 percent clean and dedicated to serve.

Mr. Rosen.,thank you for the observation. 12 hrs. was, in the past, the standard time the police dissallowed you to drive once busted for DUII, or in some cases let go, with the admonishment not to get behind the wheel for that long., "half life" was slang sort of., based on memories of hangover duration, not applicable to those who show they can judge their limits responsibly as you have described, and I probably overreacted. Glad your so close to campus which I was unaware of, and aren't there less damaging drugs to celebrete with?, and you are a law student yes?.,so how would you handle a class action against these "overzealous" constables?

There was no driving involved to get back to the university. The party was on SW 11th street (the east side of campus) about 100 feet away from some of the dorms. Also, I forgot to mention this this earlier: Alcohol does not have a biological half-life. I'm unsure where you got the "12 hour[s]" figure from. The rate of disappearance of ethanol in the body is zero order kinetic. This means that the ethanol disappears at a constant rate regardless of concentration (this happens to be about .015% an hour in a normal male, which is a little less than one alcoholic beverage). Half-life would refer to an exponential decay. You are setting up a straw man argument when you claim I believe that "cops are fascists". I do not believe that cops are fascists. I believe they are necessary in maintaining order in a society. However, I do not believe that serving and protecting society requires 16 police officers to surround a house with the purpose of busting 35 college students, most of whom are one year away from being able to legally drink.

Not to mention the police department somehow thought it necessary to send over 16 cops to raid the house. Yes that's right, 16 counted police officers. And the article is 100% wrong where it says "everyone was cited," because I can name off at least 10 minors who told the cops that they had been drinking, and they were told to just go home...

Mr. Rosen; the drug lasts longer than the party, so if driving to get back to the U was later contemplated, I still say the cops wee "within the law", so to speak, no blood on the floor, no broken furniture. I didn't spend all those years drinking and not notice the less than subtle change in neurology, and loss of control, vehicle wise was the point. If you think the cops in fascists, run'm out of town!

Another unsurprising abuse of Corvallis police power. I was not involved in the incident, but I know people that were. Hank, I give you my condolences for your grandson's death. However, your point is not relevant here, as none of the people cited for hosting a party were drinking and driving and none of the people at the party were drinking and driving. I can tell you that largely, students at OSU will not drink and drive simply because of the virtue of living in a close proximity to areas where parties are happening. Students are more likely to walk six or seven blocks than attempt to drive. Hank - I'm interested to see how your research still applies. Most of the students at the party were 19 or 20. These were not high school students overdrinking, being loud, and causing a problem. These were upstanding OSU students who were having a casual party until the police arrived with enough officers to deal with a bank robbery. Here's an alternate question for you: A person possesses pornography of a girl that is 17 years and 364 days old. Should be he be labeled a pedophile and sex offender and go to jail? Slam: I fail to see how the Corvallis Police were acting to keep people alive. There was no loud music complaint. There were no people acting irresponsibly. From what I've heard, the police actually entered the domicile illegally thus violating the basic civil rights of the party hosts, who did not give them permission to enter. The police did not have a search warrant. Actions like this by the Corvallis Police only seek to alienate the students, who do not learn a lesson and go out and party the next weekend. Whit, I wish you good luck in your upcoming case.

understanding the "immediate desire to party affect", but the law relates in this case to a drug with a twelve hour halflife, so party sounds natural but so does the police dept's desire to keep people alive. no preaching intended.

Whit: On further consideration, should tell you today is the funeral for best friend of my grandson...DUI at 20, another fine footballer busted all to hell, too... Grandson just appt. to choice of West Point or Naval Academy; friend was member of his first-award drill squad. There is reason for "rules" as we grow up, tragically too fast now -- just in time to be exported to Iraq. Enjoy while you can but within the law - that's how society functions.

Whit: Appreciate direct-word from patron, but you mention 20 and drinking, which I assume was NOT milk. Mine re research still stands, see series upcoming. Meanwhile, law is law albeit sometimes seemingly stupid, especially to those still inexperienced in the true vicissitudes of life-now.

Hey everyone, I'm Whitney Reinauer from the article. First of all I'm not 22, I'm 20-years-old. Second of all, I'd like everyone in the world to know that the Corvallis Police Department are horrible, horrible people. All we were doing was throwing a party for one of our friends because it was her 20th birthday. At no point was the party out of control, at no point were people outside vandalizing, jumping off balconies, or doing anything I'm sure first popped in your heads when you read this article. There was no "loud party complaint." The one and only reason the police came to our house (we were even told this by the police) was to warn our next-door neighbor that they would fine him $10,000 if he hosted a party that they knew was going to take place the following weekend. By the way, they knew about his party by snooping around on Facebook looking for party events they can bust. When they were talking to him at his door, they heard music coming from our townhouse and knew what was happening. And I'm sorry Hank, but this WAS NOT because of the strong impacts of ongoing overly dollar-and-possession/oriented advertising. We were merely throwing a birthday party for one of our friends, and wanted to show her a good time. And quite frankly I think it's just stupid that none of this would have been a problem had it been a few months from now when all of us turn 21. When someone is old enough to fight for their country, I think they're old enough to crack open a cold one and watch the Blazer game with their homies. Basically, the Corvallis police department should be out busting dope dealers and felons, rather than coming to my home and handing me tickets for letting people drink in my house.

"Peer pressures" are always claimed as responsible for such purely defective teen/youth behavior patterns...but longterm communications research shows clearly that it is shaped and sometimes motivated by the strong impacts of ongoing overly dollar-and-possession/oriented advertising. Watch for upcoming review of some of this longtime evidence soon.
