After reading 'After brief fall, OU Climbs to number 2,' I couldn't agree with Dr. Kent Smith more. As a student who abstains from drinking entirely, I completely feel the pressure to prove I'm here not to party but to learn. It's difficult when a person assumes because you go to a so-called party school, you automatically fit into that demographic. I work every day to establish myself toward a contributing adult in society, and I wouldn't want my hard work tarnished by some anonymous survey that only includes a small percent of those attending.
It's an unfortunate moniker, but I believe there are thousands of students proving it wrong every single day, and I'm still proud to call myself a Bobcat.
