UNCA began a new alcohol
policy this fall that
strictly monitors the legal
_linking age of students us-
alcohol.
^ Due to the increase of the
^®gal drinking age from
i, 21 on Sept. 1, UNCA's
Alcohol Policy Task Force
^Signed the policy last
spring to adhere to the new
law.
^ "^he policy went into effect
21. The administration
^^Plementad the new policy /
^®fore Sept. 1 so that it
^ould cause the least amount
° disruption among returning
students.
According to the Student
Guide, only students of legal
drinking age can have alcohol
in the residence hall rooms
without permission. Students
21 or over may also drink at
campus events where the spon
sors have obtained the proper
alcohol permits.
Sharyn McDonald, Highsmith
Center director, said that in
the past "people were ba
sically everywhere with it
(alcohol)."
According to McDonald, if a
student is caught with
alcohol outside residence
hall rooms without permis
sion, the student will re
ceive a warning. If caught a
second time, they will be
reprimanded and tried in stu
dent court.:

Parking complaints are no
thing new at UNCA, but some
major changes taking place
this fall are presenting new
challenges for students, fa
culty and the campus police.
The biggest surprise to
returning students is the
one-way traffic pattern made
necessary by construction of
the new Rhoades Science
Building, according to many
students.
Cars are now routed down
the access^ road Ipy the High-
rise, onto Weaver Boulevard,
and back to the main entrance
to complete the circle of
campus.
According to Campus Police
Chief Charles Garreno, "The
one-way systnem ,is bothersome
t^ us si|ic9! i^ ajdds to our
response tine.'V Carreno said
he can't justify using lights
and siren to go against traf
fic except in a serious emer
gency.
