• YOUR RIGHT TO A LAWYER. “ You have the right to consult with AN ATTORNEY” and to have a lawyer with you during this questioning. If you cannot a lawyer, the court will appoint An attorney to represent you, if you agree to pay a small fee to the court.

Teens drinking alcohol ends in pile up. Tinley Park athletes suspended

By John Garcia

February 6, 2006 (Tinley Park, III.) – Several athletes were suspended form Tinley Park High School after photos of them drinking alcohol were published online. Someone sent school a link to the website.

When student at Andrews High School play sports, they sign an agreement stating they will not drink alcohol or use drugs. An anonymous email sent to a school district official depicted several underage students drinking beer at a party.

Four or five female students were suspended for a part of their season, according to a school official. Officials said the suspensions keep within the district’s code of conduct, and it is not unusual that  student would be suspended for drinking.

There’s a good deal of debate among other students today whether the suspensions were fair or not.

“95-percent of the student say they not ought to be suspended. There’s no proof, it could’ve been photoshopped, could’ve picked up a bottle, maybe there was nothing in them,” said Pat Hastings, student. “It’s kind of a freedom of speech issue, but if you sign a contract – you should abide by it, I guess,” said Mike Feddersen, student.

“It was wrong. They should’ve been punished, but don’t know if the school should’ve been involved,” sail Mallory Newman.

“It’s not fair to the students at all. I just don’t feel it’s right,” said Pat Hastings, student.

Not all of the people in the pictures are students at Andrews High School.
