Alcohol, Testosterone and Violence

Three members of the football team at Guilford College, a Quaker institution in Greensboro, North Carolina, have been charged with assault and ethnic intimidation of three Palestinian students.   National Public Radio interviewed Guilford’s Dean for Campus Life, Aaron Fetrow.   When asked how the alleged violence could have happened at a school with a pacifist tradition, Mr. Fetrow replied, “There was some alcohol involved.   There was some testosterone involved.   Fights like this happen at campuses all over the country all the time.”
