FROSH WEEK (1:00)

Montreal/Charlottetown: Some students in Quebec were not setting a very good example during Frosh week. Frosh is traditionally a time of parties and student initiation. But, at Bishop’s University, it ended with nine students under arrest. Most are facing alcohol-related charges.

School officials were not impressed. They’ve decided to make changes to the student code of conduct. So if future partiers don’t keep things under control, they could be kicked out of school.

A lot of Universities and Colleges have tried to make Frosh week a much tamer event. At the University of PEI, the week even has a new name, New Student Orientation. It’s still a party but without the alcohol and with fairly strict rules when it comes to student conduct.
