Video: "Rainman” Taylor Lobby, 7-9 p.m. College announces new policy on public drunkeness The Brevard College Office of Student Affairs is in the process of formulating a new policy regarding students who are found to be publicly intoxicated on the BC campus. Although details are still being worked out. Dean of Student Affairs Norm Witek says the action is being undertaken "to ensure the safety of the students and the campus at large, and to comply with state regulations." According to Witek, the gist of the new policy will be this: that students apprehended on campus publicly drunk will be tested with a breathalyzer, and if found to be legally drunk, will be turned over to the local police. Also, their parents will be notified. As soon as the new policy is completed, students will be notified as to the fiill details. Director of P*ublic Information Jock Lauterer adds, "In light of the tragic fatal alcholol-related accidents that have been occurred at Clemson and USC this past school year, this College is taking a pro active stance in the matter of public alcholol abuse; we just don't want to see that kind of thing happen at Brevard Col lege." BC News Bureau When BC student Burney Mack became concerned because the campus flagpole was standing empty for lack of a flag, the former Eagle Scout solved the problem swiftly by himself. It took just one call to the local Elks Club to get a flag donated. Here, Burney, along with Thomas Smith, raise Old Glory. Sometimes they even bring along a cassette tape recording of a bugle call playing "tattoo," the traditional bugle call for flag raising. Battle of the Bands coming Feb. 23 by Janet Lutz Clarion Reporter The battle is about to begin. A battle that uses voices, guitars,and drums instead of the usual artillary. The battle is the Battle of the Bands that will be held Friday, Feb. 23* at the Dunham Auditorium at 7 p.m. "A competition with rock-n-roll as the chosen weapon," says Jeff Battle, Student Activities Director. Local and on-campus bands may participate but must sign a BC entertainment rider and conform to the BC entertainment standard. There will be an entry fee and the prize for the winner will be $250. The last day to enter is February 16. "The more the merrier and may the best man wm, says Battle. So far the "batUefield" is crowded. Here's who's signed up as of Feb. 7. C O.A., the Stand, Timothy Weber and Dave Peterson, the Trees. EuphJria. and China White. by Lin Redmond Clarion Assistant Editor Project Inside-Out Coordinator Sybil Dodson is organizing a spring break work-trip to Washington, D.C. She’s calling it "BC to DC." BC student volunteers chosen for the trip will leave Greenville on Friday, March 9, and travel on Amtrak to D.C. They will stay in a youth hostel or one of the church-related dormitories set up to house the influx of volunteers regularly received by the area. Similar to last spring's work-trip to Durango, Mexico, where a student and faculty service group assisted a church in the refurbishing of an old gym, the D.C. group will serve in a variety of inner-city projects. In conjunction with the Church of the Saviour, and possibly with an organization known as the Committee for Creative Non-Violence, the team will assist the homeless at food centers, children in an after-school program, and become involved in what Dodson refers to as "other needs and justice issues related to the inner-city." The area in which the students will slay is near 14th Street, which extends behind The White House and is in the midst of the most troubled part of the city. Dodson, who has been involved in this type of work for 30 years, is happy about the location's proximity W troubled areas and the contact it will bring. She says, "When you talk with people who arc homeless, these people who are faceless and nameless become real, and the issues become real." Dodson is also pleased about the variety of situations the students will be expos^ to during their work. "We’ll see at least three different ways of ap proaching problems -- churches, organizations, indifference, etc. According to Dodson, the experiences of a work-trip allow those involved to make better political decisions. "Some people say, ’Why do I have to know these things?' But if you vote," she reminds, "you elect the people who make the rules that affect all of us and unless you are aware of the complexity of the issues and how these rules affect others...there arc so many myths that surround groups of people we are not intimate with." Dodson, who has been a catalyst in campus community service activity, is defmite when asked about the role of service in college life. She says, "I just feel so strongly that a total education needs to include an awareness of life, and so often we just know about that aspect we're most closely related to - our friends, our family, etc. The world is so much broader than our immediate little circle." For those interested, more information on the trip to Washington, D.C., may be obtained from Sybil Dodson. RD West Beam (apartment), 883-8654. or in MG 236 (office), 883- 8292 ext. 226.
