Hut. news Week spurs thoughts on roles of alcohol COURTNEY CHRISTIAN news editor Perhaps you signed a slip of paper last week stating that if you drank you would drink re sponsibly... you were joined by approximately 300 other stu dents in building a chain that was displayed over the doors when exiting Founders Hall. This chain was the most vis ible activity in a week-long look at alcohol and its effects on lives. Faculty and students both worked at a table in Founders Hall to get students to sign the pledge. Senior Betsy Parker, a student who worked with the Alcohol Awareness Committee, stated, "It was a team effort be tween the two [faculty and stu dents]." Last Friday night's Bryan Quad dance was the conclusion of a week full of activities to heighten students awareness of alcohol. Throughout the week, students were offered a variety of alcohol and substance-free activities ranging from bingo to a candlelight vigil. For the first time, a group of Stocks resigns from VP position In a decision that left her "extremely sad dened," Tay Stocks resigned from her posi tion as vice-president of Community Sen ate, effective at the end of this semester. Stocks' resignation was based on her accep tance to the Ghana study abroad program for the spring semester. In a letter released to Senate, Stocks said U I have the opportunity to visit Ghana, and I want to take advantage of that.. I did not intend to make a commitment and break it, but I have to do what is best for me..." "Senate has a long way to go this year, but with such good beginnings things should only get better." This is the third time in four years that the Executive Board of Senate has lost a Join the GUILFORDIAN! November 8,1996 Guilford students banded to gether to make their peers more aware of the dangers of drink ing, while letting students know that they could drink and be re sponsible at the same time. On Tuesday night, a student run acting troupe, Half Way There, performed in Sternberger Auditorium in an effort to show some of the difficult issues that surround alcohol and substance abuse. On Thursday, October 31, Residential Life and the Al cohol Awareness committee co sponsored bingo, where ap proximately 130 students came together for fun and prizes, ranging from gift certificates to restaurants to laundry supplies. The candlelight vigil imme diately followed and allowed students who had been nega tively influenced at some point in their lives to speak of their experiences. From deaths of friends and family, to abuse and alcoholism, the experiences that can occur as a result of alcohol can be detrimental. Director of Student Activities Dawn Watkins remarked, "All KEIR BICKERSTAFFE edttor-in-chlef All are welcome Call Keir at x 2306 for more information the ideas came directly from students and were run by stu dents." This allowed the week to reach the students in a more effective way. Parker also said, "The main purpose was to heighten awareness from stu dent to student, as well as fac ulty to student." Alcohol and substance abuse is going to be an influential topic in future Residential Life decisions. The possibility of in cluding a substance-free dorm as an option for housing could be enacted in the near future. This would give students an option to live in a dorm where it is agreed upon that there will be no use of illegal substances or alcohol. Another possibility is the for mation of a Guilford chapter of BACCHUS. BACCHUS is a na tional student group that tack les the issues of alcohol and al cohol awareness. Watkins added, "Right now, some of the students [that helped with Alco hol Awareness Week] are look ing into it." member mid-year. Despite the setback, other members of the Board were quick to sup port Stocks' decision. "I'll miss Tay, but I wish her the best of luck in Ghana," said Senate President Steve Marasco. Current Senate Secretary Adjowii-Coo per Henry will move up to fill the role of vice-president for the spring semester, tak ing command of the duties Stocks will leave behind, including chairing the Judicial Board. The position of Secretary for next semes ter has not yet been filled. According to Marasco, the executives have had conver sations with several current senators con cerning the position. He was quick to add, however, that the position is open to any Guilford student interested. Call the Senate office at x 2310 for more information.
