Its a effort to curb drinking and driving at the University of Florida. The number of DUI arrests on campus more than doubled from 2004 to 2005. One reason is because University Police officers set up their first campus DUI check point last year. 111 people were arrested in 2005. That's compared to 44 arrests in 2004. A police spokesperson says the increase is partly because of President Machen's crackdown on drinking, something new UPD Chief Linda stump also feels strongly about.
Lt. Joe Sharkey says, 'She came to our agency with a very pro-active stance on alcohol enforcement.'
Police plan to set up check points at UF every few months. Besides criminal charges, any student caught drinking and driving can also be suspended from school. "
