Boston colleges
restrict alcohol
Boston area colleges are crack
ing down on alcohol consump
tion, a pastime that costs about
30 students’ lives a year.
Twenty-four colleges in the
area, including Harvard, are
adopting policies that require
freshmen to live in alcohol-free
dormitories, ban liquor from
fraternity and sorority rush
functions, and prohibit com
mercial delivery of alcoholic
beverages to university-ap-
proved campuses. These
policies have been described as
the most comprehensive plans
proposed by any university to
curb under-age drinking and
binging .
Controversy con
tinues over clon
ing possibilities
British scientists are trying to
overturn the present ban on clon
ing. While some feel the science is
“of great benefit” to medical ad
vancement (for creating replace
ment organs, tissues, etc.), others
voice support for the full removal
of the ban, allowing legal cloning
of full human beings. Japanese
scientists have successfully cloned
eight copies ofone cow. Although
half of the clones died, cloning is
expected to be at least as effective
as in vitro fertilization.

of safe feelings to the

“Even though we’re
in a residential area, we
aren’t right in it. It’s a
rolling, hilly campus.
The lights don’t go
through the trees and
don’t go down the hills,” said
lovacchini. “I think it’s the way it

Jones, who said he was wary of fee
increases for which there was no
“justification given” during the
committee’s last meeting. The in
crease for athletics was one of the
proposals presented to the com
mittee without a reason for the
increase.
Jones said that these increases
needed justification before he

could fully comment on them.
Tom Hunnicutt, director of ath
letics, said that the increase in fees
that were requested for the athlet
ics department are standard and
are based on the rising costs of
tuition.
“Each year, tuition (and) the cost
of scholarships normally go up
each year. Also, the salaries we
pay are keyed to this basic infla
tion. That would be the majority
of any increase,” said Hunnicutt.
Once the Fee Review Commit-

tee has made a final determina
tion of a student fee increases, it
presents those numbers to the
chancellor, who then gives that to
the Board of Governors for fur
ther adjustments. Following
trustee approval, fee increases are
passed to the General Adminis
tration for final approval.
Fees have increased at UNCA
each of the past several years, and
are currently the highest fees in
the UNC system.
Arrest
continued front page 1
to public safety at their request on
Dec. 2, according to the arrest report.
A preliminary court hearing will be
held on Dec. 17.
Vines also voluntarily withdrew from
school, said Investigator Jerry
Adams. They were originally going
to remove him from the dorms, he
said.
“I don’t think Kelly is a bad per
son,” said Irons. “Maybe this will
be good for him, and he can seek
some help.”
Although Irons spoke at the stu
dent hearing, she said she was not
told what the school is doing about
Vines. She said she received a call
later that day from Amy Justice,
assistant director of student devel
opment, about Vines’ withdrawal.
“I think the victims should know
what’s being done,” said Irons.
Vines and Irons had broken up
several weeks before the incident,
said Irons. “I tried to remain
friends,” said Irons. “But I found
out he was slandering me behind
my back.”
Irons said she thinks Vines had
heard that her friends had told her
about his slandering and that is
why he was angry.
“He was a little driink, said Irons.
“When he was upset, he would
drink.”
A man arrested last month in con
nection with a series of on-campus
thefts has been charged with those
break-ins.
ianies Roy Foyles jr. was charged
with four counts each of breaking
and entering w'ith larceny, forgery
and uttering, and financial card
fraud, and one count of financial
card theft.
Foyles was arrested last month by
officers from UNCA public safety
and Buncombe County Sheriffs
Department. Public safety initiated
its investigation after receiving a
stolen credit card complaint.
Investigator Jerry Adams said that
Foyles apparently gained access to
Governors Village dorms, walked
the halls,- and waited to hear the
sound of a shower running. He
then 'vould check doors until he
found rooms that were unlocked
and unoccupied.
“We have really got a good case
against this guy,” said Adams. “He
would go into the rooms and take
money, checks, whatever he could
find,” said Adams.
Foyles may have once attempted
to enter one room through a win
dow, but was startled by the
room’s occupant, said Adams.
Foyles has been charged with
other crimes in the area, includ
ing possession of a stolen vehicle,
filed by Asheville Regional Air
port security.
Foyles may also be connected
with one report of indecent expo
sure that occurred on campus.
“Officer Darrell Rathburn and
Sergeant Steve Lewis have done a
real good job of handling this case
and bringing the charges” against
Foyles, said Adams. “We’re really
pleased with how it’s turned out.”
Adams stressed that residents
need to lock their doors anytime
they are oiit of their rooms. “We
can’t be everywhere at once. (Stu
dents) can’t prop doors open at
night. There’s a bad habit of that,
he said.
