According to work by James C. Turner and Adrienne Keller at the University of Virginia, the leading causes of university student mortality are, in order of magnitude, suicide, alcohol-related traffic deaths, undetermined causes, cancer, alcohol-related non-traffic injury, and homicide. They also stated, "Males had significantly higher rates of suicide..." 

If this represents what is happening at University of Alaska campuses and if Senator Kelly is earnestly concerned with student welfare, he should be looking at hiring more psychologists, counselors, campus police officers, and enacting alcohol bans. In fact, since handguns are the tool of choice in suicides, it would be reasonable to retain the current ban.
