Busybody Lawyers. Hopefully, the outsiders will get their way. Why make going outside more cumbersome at a time when most young people stay indoors too much, chained to their computers?

They could say they were the double-plus-un-indoors club.

But now they'll just be the un-indoors club.

Sounds like the beginning of an off campus club.

Such a shame with such beautiful landscapes right in the backyard of the campus. Use to ride those mountains and was always in awe. Ham radio would solve the so called communication problem. Heck, I’ve had flat tires deep in the woods and 90% of the time my kit prevailed, and I rode on. Shame.

administrators conducted a risk assessment

How did that risk assessment workout with Sandusky?

None of them have a portable radio?

Penn should have been burned to the ground already.

And that one time when the motorcycle is so stuck in the mud, you learn a lot about getting out of the woods and going back with a tractor and a come along.

“A key issue for administrators was that the Outing Club frequently visit locations with poor cell phone coverage.”

They could give the snowflakes satphones, or personal locator beacons. LOL

Forget about not being in cell phone range, there are growing numbers of people who are in utter fear of being in a car without GPS. I remember in my younger days when my glove compartment was stuffed with Rand McNally maps. The ones that you had to unfold but almost never could fold back together again the same way it was when you bought it.

I found a few of them in my attic a few years ago and I showed them to one of my then teenage sons. From his point of view, I might as well have been unrolling the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The U should buy them a couple of Satellite Phones.

What if they don’t bring the cell phones at all? Or own them?

Did they stop funding the Gay & Lesbian clubs due to the increased risk of HIV?

So, what say does the school have in anything these students do on their own time off campus?

The students are a bunch of pussies. What is their idea of rebellion? Refusing to eat their peas?

There are pertinent facts left out of the story. If the school contributes money to the club, say no to the money an do as they please.

Because the rest of the Happy Vally movers and shakers might as well be his clones.

Had the PS Flying Club back then. We used to take off and fly over the co-ed dorms which were maybe 10 stories high? and watch the girls sunbath naked on the rooftops. It was a good outing.

Good thing Lewis and Clark had 4G cell coverage when they headed west.
