Refrigerator Beer
By Stresson Stoddard
Joseph and Dan are juniors who met each other their first weekend of freshmen year at Plattsburgh State. Since then the two have been inseparable. However, they are quite opposite. Dan is on a sports team, drinks a lot, is very outgoing, death defying, and an individual who believes in living in the moment and not caught up in the future. On the other hand, Joseph is a religious, conservative, family and school oriented person. In short, Dan is the life of the party, the person who consumes alcohol excessively and always has alcohol in his dorm. Joe is the opposite, but the two have grown to become great friends.
In the fall semester of junior year the two decided to live together in a suite but in separate rooms. The weekend before Columbus break, Dan decided to stock his room with alcohol. He bought two bottles of vodka, a 30 rack of beer and proceeded to concoct various alcoholic treats for him and his friends. Unable to stash all his treats in his room, he proceeded to Joseph's room to store the 30 rack in Joseph's fridge with several bottles still open. Joseph was not around. Dan knew Joseph’s code, so he punched in the code to his room and placed his 30 rack in the refrigerator without telling Joseph.
The next day Joseph decided to play a game of Mario. Joseph's roommate, Timmy, who is an exchange student here, was also playing with him. While playing the game Joseph left his room door open. Minutes later his RA came into the room and asked him to store a surprise cake he had bought for the RD in his refrigerator. Joseph did not want to stop playing the game, so he told his RA to go ahead. The RA opened the door and was surprised at the alcohol, Joseph himself was shocked. Subsequently, Joseph’s RA informed him he would be written up, as well as his roommate. They both denied they knew about it.
Timmy began to cry, because his scholarship had a clause that stated if he was to be in any form of trouble, he would lose his scholarship and any other chance of getting another from his country. Joseph was angered as well but did not blame Dan because Dan would lose his spot on the team and the scholarship which he desperately needed to finance his education. The three friends were in panic because of what was at stake. What is the morally right thing to do for each person in this case?
