The communications department will host an Open Forum debate regarding the legal drinking age in the U.S. at 7 p.m. today in John R. Emens Auditorium.
Admission is free to for "Responsible Drinking Redefined."
Derek Brey, a student organizer for the event, said the issue was chosen as part of an immersive learning program for a good reason. Despite creating extra work for themselves, the team of Ball State University students pursued hosting the on-campus debate.
"The issue is a big deal right now because the 10 percent highway fund, which defines the legal age, will be up for revision next year," he said.
