Student Advocate Busted for DUI
A Pennsylvania college student, who recently said that college students are unfairly portrayed by the media as being irresponsible, was charged with drunken driving last weekend.
CNN.com, reports that Christopher Bevan, 21, was pulled over while driving over 50 mph in a 15-mph zone. Bevan is the president of the student government at Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, Penn.. They also report that his blood-alcohol level was .147 percent. The legal limit for Pennsylvania is .08 percent.
CNN.com also reports that "Bevan recently wrote a letter to the Press Enterprise of Bloomsburg about media coverage of the central Pennsylvania college's annual Block Party, an event critics have described as rowdy and alcohol-fueled." In the letter he said that the media coverage of the event "painted BU students with a negative brush" and was unfair to the thousands of responsible students on campus.
