His decision is then final. Although the defendant may £^peal, the stu dent handbook indicates that the plaintiff has no option to file an appeal to contest either the ver dict or the punishment To this date, the resolution of this very contraversial case remains confidential. The following was taken from the 1994- 95 Student Handbook, page 60. The student must request (in writing) an appeal hearing. Copies of a form explaining the reason(s) for the appeal are distributed to an Appeal Board consisting of three students, two faculty and two staff. By a simple major ity vote the Board will determine whether to grant an appeal hearing. If the request is de men, has never been this far away from home for a long time.

High-tech equipment to print Braille and enlarge lettCTs is also available for stu dent use. One of the more inventive creations for hear ing impaired students is a Braille-N-Speak. Stu- help graduates of our high school attend Gardner- Webb, one of the finest private universities in the South.” Dr. White is a 1961 graduate of Hart County High School.

The Noel House has expanded in the past few years and has now made services available for students all over the campus. “We now have a computer with voice output in the business labs, career center, writing lab, and one soon to be installed in the math lab,” says Jennings. With the services currently available and the ones being looked into for the future, there is no doubt that the program will continue to grow. Fact: Drinking and Driving does kill friendships by Telesa Wilson staff writer An article in News for You magazine says there are fewer automobile accidents in the United States than there were twelve years ago. Does that mean we are making progress? When every 30 minutes someone is killed in an alcohol-related accident, no amount of progress seems fast enough. Gardner-Webb students who have lost some one in a drunk driving accident know this fact first hand. Many agree that the decrease in accidents is due to the fact that drunk driving has increasingly come to be viewed by society as unacceptable. During the last fifteen years, alcohol related automobile fatalities have been cut by a 35% through, “tougher innovative laws and widespread public service aimouncements,” according to The New York Times. For example, on Nov. 9, 1993, the Senate passed bill S738 with the goal of removing driv ers who drink and drive from the highways. The primary targets for this bill are teenagCTs. The bill releases $100 million in grants in order to encourage states to initiate tougher laws concerning drinking and driving. Polls taken by the journal Philosophy and Public Affairs indicate that drunk drivers should be punished more severely. People feel so strongly about the problem of drinking and driving that the month of December has been named National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month. During this awareness month, all U.S. citi zens should take part in reaffirming their desires to make drunk driving unacceptable and stop the disease of drunk driving in America.
