College to continue clampdown on alcohol abuse

A COLLEGE which closed its bar during rag week last year has vowed to continue its clampdown on alcohol abuse.

It has also made the entire campus a smoke free zone.

‘Freshers’ attending Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) will be advised on the harmful impact of binge drinking during orientation week this year. And bar staff are being briefed on how to deal with drunken students. WIT publications and the campus radio station have also been asked to promote sensible consumption of alcohol.
