In response to April 25 Editorial, "University can't turn a blind eye to suits," I find it interesting that students want the University to do something about the Boat Club lawsuit. In reading The Observer over the past year, I thought the students wanted to be treated as adults. In his April 25 letter "Parietals disrupt social life," Ramin Saghafi states, "It's time the University stops treating us like we're still in junior high."

Act like adults and take responsibility for your own actions. The minute something goes wrong, do not clamor for the University to step in as if it is mommy or daddy and should "make it better."

Be an adult, take responsibility for your own premeditated actions, which were getting an illegal ID and/or perjuring yourself to gain access to a place where underage students should not be. In the adult world: do something wrong, get caught and face the consequences. All of you should be ecstatic since you are being treated like adults.  Go before the judge, get sentenced and pay the fine.
