As most of you in the class are new freshman, I feel the need to bring to your attention that Caffeine is not sold on campus. Many students find no problem with this, but I have a few qualms. I feel that (No. 1) Caffeine is not officially prohibited by the Word of Wisdom, nor is it condemned by the Church. I can to to TEMPLE SQUARE and get a Coke if I so chose. Also, (No. 2) I feel that by choosing on our behalf not to offer caffeine on campus, they are robbing us of our agency.
I feel that it is up to each of us individually to choose which herbs and substances we will abuse and which we wont. For me, there are just desperate days when I use caffeine to complete my workload. I for one choose not to guzzle a 64oz. Diet Dew with lunch every day. But even if I did, that is my choice. I can recall one recognizable figure from scripture who sought to take away our freedom of choice, so why is my University striving for the same end?
