These oeoDle raise a lot of money i irough fund raising, yet we remember Jem for their beer and litter. Because the atmosphere in fraternities jften is conducive to drinking, Greeks aid to drink more than students not in ; fraternities, Minuto said. The number of events at which alcohol iserved varies among individual fraterai tyand sorority houses. Many farternities, for example, reported 20-25 events per semester, while Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity reported only five. Most sororities, according to chapter rales, are not allowed to serve alcohol in ieir houses unless they secure a special permit from their national chanter. As a result, they host few parties in their toes, but mix with fraternities at frater- aity houses. Bertie Wiley of the Kappa Delta soro rity said her sorority held about one party week at which either beer or alcohol was always served. Costs are usually split be tween the fraternity and the sorority, as is custom in most houses. Tracey Mason, president of Phi Mu sorority, said the alcohol policy of her SOTOnty included nrnviHincr an alternate wage at mixers so people were not wraa to drink. "I can see where the parties could en gage drinking," she said. "But I hope JJ re not throwing it down their throats. Purely a social function."

Staubers, who works at Troll's is complying with the recently Imposed crackdown on alcohol consumption. UNC must work with town to dispel image, promote responsible drinking not just centefed in fraternities," he said. "When I lived in a dorm, they partied a lot, too." The drinking situation among black Greeks is different, said Adrian Douglass, president of Kappa Alpha Psi. Treasury money is not spent on alcohol; if fraternity brothers want to drink they use their own money, he said. Alcohol is served when the fraternity mixes ex clusively with its sister sorority, which ocr curs at a private residence off campus. But it is not served at the six to eight semesterly jams or discos that the fraternity sponsors in Great Hall and Upendo Lounge. Compared to white fraternities' par ties, "It's a different type of party," Douglass said. "People don't come up here to drink. They come to dance. That doesn't mean black Greeks don't drink. They drink in different situations." Faye Hardy, president of Delta Sigma Theta, a black sorority, said the unity between black fraternities and sororities meant they didn't have to drink to be . social. "We're such a small group that when black Greeks have a party, everyone wants to go just to get together," she said. And since the sorority is non-profit, there are no funds for alcohol, she said. Residence halls often promote alcohol consumption, Minuto said. "The typical situation is the floor keg party," she said. "The kegs will attract the heavy drinkers. When the beer is gone, the par ty's over." A lack of appetizing alternate beverages discourages light and non drinkers, she said. "You need to serve something interesting not warm Tab in dirty cups," she said. "And real food; munchies make you want to drink more." David Diduch, Scott College Gover nor, said that while dorm mixers in the past have centered around alcohol, policies have changed. "In my area, it's not like that anymore," he said. "Now, we get around that by having a theme party or having people do something. We had a party this semester for 800 people and we had two kegs. You can't say the party centered around the beer." The change in policies was due, in part, to a ruling from the Alcohol Beverage Control board which made all purchases of alcohol with student activity fees against ABC regulations, said Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student af fairs. The regulation states that no alcoholic beverages can be sold on state property. Students have tried to get around the law by incorporating beer into a more general "refreshments" category. See .

Walk past any bulletin board, glance through the newspaper or visit any bar you're sure to see one of these slogans. And they're guaranteed to draw a crowd. Chapel Hill has been dubbed the "beer-drinking capital" of the world and has resolved to live up to the title. A visitor to Chapel Hill will never have any trouble finding a beer. But someone forgot to ask Chapel Hill if it wanted to be the beer-drinking capital of the world, or if .it wanted the crowds, and the town has decided it's not too crazy with the idea. So, begirining in the summer of 1981; the town decidedto do some thing about it. A crackdown was started on -public consumption of alcohol. Strolling down Franklin Street, sipping a beer, became a thing of the past. Letters went out to bar owners and the crackdown began on under-age drinking in restaurants and bars. Season football ticket-holders received letters before the start of the 1982 season stating that the town would be enforcing public consumption ordinances. An alcohol task force was created to study alcohol-related problems in the community and offer solutions to the town council. And the Chapel Hill Police De partment began a driving-under-the-influence enforcement pro gram, in hopes of increasing DUI arrests by 10 percent during the next year. But while the town is making a sincere effort to reduce alcoholrrelated problems in the community, it cannot stand alone in tackling the problem. The problem is not one that belongs solely to the town of Chapel Hill. The problem also belongs to UNC, as well as the people that comprise the Uni versity and Chapel Hill community. The alcohol task force created by the Town Council is the first effort by the council to involve members from all aspects of the community in an attempt to find solutions for alcohol related problems. "It (alcohol) is a community problem," council member Marilyn Boulton said recently. "A couple of us on the council felt it was about time we extended this into the community." Boulton said that in creating the task force, the council in cluded everyone that came in contact with alcohol and its related problems, from students to a judge. The task force is comprised of CHPD Police Chief Herman Stone, two UNC students, a junior high school student and a high school student, a bar owner, a convenience store owner, a district attorney and several others who come in contact with the problem. ( At its first meeting several weeks ago, the task force identified a wide range of problems to study, including public consump tion, under-age drinking, ID falsification, alcohol education programs and the effects of advertising. Several task force members discussed the need for good, strong alcohol education programs in the community. But one major problem still facing the town and the Uni versity is inconsistency in alcohol enforcement policies. Chapel Hill has strict ordinances prohibiting the public con sumption of alcohol anywhere on town property. But, as Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student affairs, pointed out at the task force meeting, UNC has "no policy" concerning public consumption of alcohol. The University's alcohol policies adhere to state law that allows public consumption of beer and unfortified wine anywhere on state property. This type of policy can cause problems at a place where the boundaries of the University and town are not well-defined. A person can sit by Silent Sam in the upper quad of campus and publicly consume beer. But if he steps onto the sidewalk by Franklin Street and drinks a beer, he can be arrested. One also has to wonderlf there really is an alcohol consump tion policy during a football weekend when 50,000 fans con verge on Chapel Hill. It is not unfamiliar to see a group of fans holding mixed drinks or beers while a policeman stands watching only a few feet away.

I he problem i not accoun ting it's adherence to the Treasury Laws." The Finance Committee ruled Wednesday that the DTH would have to return its funds to SAFO, but would follow a separate set of Treasury Laws, loosely based on the Carolina Union's Treasury Laws. Under this system, The DTH could operate efficiently and still be held accountable to the students, they said. DTH Editor John Drescher said Thursday that he was disappointed with the Finance Committee's deci sion, but would abide by it. "From a business standpoint, I'm disappointed with the decision because the business runs much bet ter with a separate checking account outside of SAFO," he said. Yount told the committee that the present Treasury Laws were not advantageous to the smooth business operation of an organization the size of the DTH. "The Daily Tar Heel is an unusual organization in the amount of money it handles, the amount of business it does, the number of people who work for it, and the amount of time those people spend at the DTH office every day," he said. "They are ultimately responsible to the student body, and if they're responsible to Student Govern ment as a trustee of the students, so be it," he said. But Yount stressed that the rules which the DTH would follow would have to be both clear and flexible. Finance Committee member W.M. "Doc" Droze (District 22) said the committee understood the finan cial problems the DTH had with following the Treasury Laws. "There's got to be a separation between those who write the checks and those who record them," Droze"1 said. "But they also need some flexibility." The committee agreed that it would be unproduc tive to "riddle the Treasury Laws with exception" for the DTH, and decided that a new set of laws governing the paper would have to be drawn up. Under the new requisitioning process, the DTH , would be able to make expenditures at any time, as long as" the checks were signed by both the DTH business officials and SAFO, Madison said. "This way late requisitions would be impossible, just like for the Union," Madison said. Bryson said the DTH requisitioning process would be worked out by taking "the Treasury Law and the Union requisitioning process and splicing them together." In order to ensure fiscal control, Yount suggested establishment of a daily go-between for the DTH and SAFO. The committee agreed that Student Body Treasurer should have an assistant who would act in this capaci ty. "There's been talk of control," Yount said. "That would be the control. He would have his eyes on both the DTH business and would act as mediator between the DTH and SAFO." See CGC on page 6 Town Council member Winston Broadfoot has said he felt the University's lack of enforcement resulted in unequal treat ment. "They are not doing anything and I think it stinks," he said. "The only option they've recognized so far is to ignore it." If the University does not want to formulate an enforcement . policy, the town should enforce the laws on campus, Broadfoot said. Although the University is within town limits, Chapel Hill has traditionally allowed it to police its own grounds. Town Mayor Joe Nassif said the town was applying its policies as "fairly and equitably as possible. Obviously, I am strongly biased toward our policy, but that doesn't mean the University has to do it our way," he said. Solutions to the alcohol problem also boil down to the at titudes of bar owners serving alcohol, advertisers promoting the consumption of alcohol, and, most of all, the person who drinks alcohol. Beer advertisers prey on college students in the belief that the company will have a loyal drinker for the next 25 to 30 years if a student can be "hooked" on a certain brand of beer now. Bar owners have to make a living, and free beer and weekly specials are a good way to draw crowds. Who could blame a person for falling victim to these temptations? Much of the answer lies in responsible attitudes on everyone's part. If responsible drinking and responsible attitudes toward drinking were the rules instead of the exception, Chapel Hill would not have an alcohol problem. The town has a legitimate interest in wanting to make Chapel Hill a clean and pleasant place to live. The University, and the 3QLP00 students who become temporary residents here each thw interests. ie luwii aiiu me uiu- year, uuniui auuiu iiwiv Andropov practical tough, UNC professors explain By CHRISTINE MANUEL Staff Writer ' Yuri V. Andropov, who recently suc ceeded the late Leonid Brezhnev as general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party, will be a practical, tough leader and will be more knowledgeable but more dangerous than his predecessor, according to Dr. Robert Rupen of the UNC political science department. Rupen said Andropov's experience as leader of the KGB, the Soviet Union's secret police, has given him a unique background of knowledge. Andropov knows the underlying situation in the Soviet Union, Rupen said. Andropov's 15-year leadership in the KGB was marked by the systematic repres sion of Soviet dissidents, Rupen said. An dropov squelched the dissident movement without using overt violence. "It was im moral but well-done," Rupen added. Dr. Joel Schwartz, Bowman Gray pro fessor in the political science department, added that as head of the KGB, Andropov was tough and has proven that he is willing to use repressive measures if they are need- The KGB is one facet of the Soviet system where leaders cannot hide themselves from reality, Schwartz said. "Andropov has been put in the position where he knows how serious the problems, especially domestic problems, in the Soviet Union are," he added. . "It is a gross oversimplification to label Andropov as either a moderate or a hardliner," said Warren Webb, a graduate student in poUtical science and teacher's assistant. Andropov was known as an ef fective administrator, Webb added. The recent succession of Andropov to power also set a precedent for the Soviet U The power struggle occurred before the death of Brezhnev, said Schwartz. "There was no uncertainty that there would have to be succession," he said, due to Brezhnev's failing health. Schwartz said he expected Andropov to face what he labeled the Soviet "policy See USSR on page 4
