The Clarion Tuesday, October 13,1981 Volleyball Team Much Improved by Bethany Neach Emerging as a strong, improv ed and more impressive group than last year, the girls’ volleyball team is gaining ex perience by their playing action. The girls’ season, which is well under way, has brought some tough competitors to regional play. The girls’ record now stands at 4 wins and 6 losses. Each team in the conference will be played again this season, giv ing the girls a chance to improve themselves and work on their strategy. There will be two more home matches this year: on October 28, Brevard vs. Lees McRae, and on November 5, Brevard vs. North Greenville. The team needs your support and enthusiasm. We hope to see you out there cheering the Lady Tornados to victory. £ TORNADO SPORTS Harriers Continue With Much Success The lady Tornado Volleyballers are off to a good start this year, having already topped its total victory output for last year. (Photo by Tia Stallings). by Randy Ward On October 3rd, the Brevard College Harriers traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee, to compete against the University of Ten nessee’s varsity, Miami of Ohio and Tennessee's J.V. though the four teams ran together they were scored as two separate dual meets. The University of Tennessee, which is ranked 17th in NCAA schools, beat Miami of Ohio by a score of 27 to 29. Brevard kept alive its streak of 37 wins in a row by outdistancing U.T.’s J.V.’s 25 to 31. Brevard was led by Freshman Brad Albee, who was 12th overall; Albee covered the very tough 5 miles course in 26:32. He was closely followed by sophomores Dan Clay and Randy Ward who finished 14th and I5th with times of 26:39 and 26:44. The other Brevard runners who placed were Jim Hickey 20th, Gerald Hutchinson 25th, Monte Orchard 26th, Mike Miller 28th Mike Pevito 29th, Bryan Batton 30th and Jeff Shore 31st. The team ran well, but will strengthen with the return of All- American John Delaney who is recovering from a knee injury, and Jeff Muth who was out with the flu this past meet. rhe swimming pool is now open on a regular schedule.

Alcohol Guidelines Why Are The RulesEnforced? by Lisa Atkins In Part One of this series on alcoholism, we looked at the various aspects of alcoholism as a social problem. In Part Two, we will deal with the alcohol situa tion on the Brevard College cam pus. The aim of this article is to answer the questions of why Brevard College enforces the policies on alcohol included in the Uniform Guidelines. One of the most common arguments which students pro ject where these policies are con cerned is that they are of the legal drinking age and therefore feel that the college is discriminating against their legal rights by prohibiting the use of alcohol on campus. I asked Brevard’s Alcohol Counselor, Charles Gibbons, why the college enforces these rules. “Historically,” he commented, “one of the strong emphasis of “Brevard College’s position on alcohol is reflective of its United Methodist heritage and its con cern for its students’ well-being. It would be very difficult for Methodist-related institutions anywhere to ever condone alcohol simply because of underlying commitments against the abuse of alcohol. None of Brevard’s students pay totally for their education. A percentage of the cost for each student is underwritten by the church, so I think that agreement and accep tance of standards is out of the United Methodist Church (with which the college is af- fihated) has been against alcohol abuse. This is true from frontier days and even preceding that. One of John Wesley’s strongest emphasis was against alcohol abuse in the 18th century in England. On this, Mr. Gibbons com mented, “I have found .... a great deal of folklore involved in most people’s knowledge of alcohol. Alcohol is a depressant drug with a precise anatomical phar macology. I have found much resistance to alcohol phar macology on the part of students. Legitimate education is maybe the single greatest factor in lessening alcohol abuse.” reverence more than out of law.” In looking at the issue farther, it is interesting to note that many of the students who drink are already aware of the dangers of alcohol but continue to consume it on a frequent basis. An honest question that many people may be asking is if the Alcohol Educa tion Seminars which Were recent ly introduced will honestly serve as a deterrent to those who fit under this category. The next issue of The Clarion will discuss the alcoholism seminars, as well as other available help. WPNF 1240 KhZ ( able F..M.
