His suit sought to hold theUniversit and its emploees li-

Te lawsuit highlights the pe-

culiar and problematic status oDPS ofcers, who sometimes act ascampus security guards and othertms at as swr p frswith powers usuall reserved orgovernment agents. Te issue maybecome more salient as Brownscampus expands urther into the

Te court must now determinewhthr Es was atg as a p- fr ab t rghtsams r as a ampus surtguard in his interactions withKudr.

Br Ldbttr, th Ur-sits vice president and generalcounsel, was not available or an in-terview but wrote in a statement toTe Herald, Te University main-tains that the ofcer was not actingas a sworn police ofcer but insteadas a University security guard in histrats wth Kudr.

Erw Chmrsk, udgda th Urst Car-nia at Irvine School o Law andrenowned scholar o constitutionallaw, said though private actors aret strad b sttutamts grmt at, d-eral law would apply i there is sig-nicant entanglement betweenthe government and a private actor.

though, appears difcult whenthe precedent set b case law isexamined. In the case o Rockwell. Cap Cd Hspta, rrdin Lisis order, the First Circuit

But Steven Brown, the executivedirector o the Rhode Island afli-ate o the American Civil LibertiesUnion, said that Lisis opinion sug-gests there are a variety o actorsthat d t b sdrd.

Te Rockwell decision statesthat, In order or a private ac-tor to be deemed to have actedunder color o state law, it is not

hough the U.S. SupremeCourt has le open the questiono whether private police orces arestate actors, Blais said he would notneed to rely on case law precedentsbecause it is abundantly clear thatDPS is carrying out state unctions.

Brown joined a multi-universit

eort to reduce the amount obinge drinking on college cam-puses this summer. Te Learn-ing Collaborative on High-RiskDrinking spearheaded by Dart-mouth President Jim yong Kim82 has garnered support rom32 colleges and universities sincets Ma 2 auh.

Over the next 18 months,teams rom the 32 participatinginstitutions will gather or three

mtgs t brastrm, tst adevaluate strategies to lessen theharms bg drkg. A tamo aculty, sta and students romBrown attended the rst meetingJu 2.

Klawunn, a member o theBrown delegation, said Kims med-ical background has inuenced hisapproach to reducing high-riskdrkg. T abrat w

director or planning and projects,is also involved with the initiative.

Frances Mantak 88, director ohath duat, sad th bg-drinking rate at Brown is similart th ata rat.

Mantak added that college stu-dents drinking habits are difcultto change because they reect ourculture and laws and are inu-enced by the alcohol industry andadvertising. Once students arriveat Brw, w must wrk agast18 ears o social habits, whichare hard to change, Mantak said.

Still, 77 percent o Brown stu-dents claim to have zero to ourdrinks on a typical night, a statis-
