loanee Alcohol Controversy Crosses Country With as much attention the new alcohol policy con cerning student organization funds has created it is in teresting to see that it seems to follow a trend that is spreading across the country. Not only are the smaller private schools cracking down on alcohol, but many big state universities are im plementing the same regula tion. According to the new signs posted around the stadium, there won’t be any more drinking at University of Alabama football games this year. Campus police and local law enforcement of ficials have geared up to watch fans for telltale signs of carrying booze to the game. At Notre Dame, there’s another tough new anti drinking policy. Starting this fall, students can no longer bring alcohol onto university property. Indiana University is going even further. Universitv of ficials are making unan-~ nounced “spot checks” for alcohol at the public areas of campus dorms and fraternity houses to enforce a new no- booze-on-campus rule. Colleges and universities around the country this fall are imposing tough new drinking policies, and are creating new means of mak ing the policies stick. Students who run afoul of the new rules typically face disciplinary actions escalating from reprimands to suspensions, with man datory attendance at alcohol education classes. Some schools are tougher: Notre Damers caught violating the school drinking policy are liable for a $100 minimum fine. Not all students are happy about it. Indiana’s student government is inviting stu dent complaints against the ‘raids”, worrying about students’ privacy rights. But the new wave of anti drinking policies has yet to evoke much student response one way or the other. The administrators’ abrupt fervor follows drink ing law changes in dozens of states over the last three years. Dizzy Gilespie Comes Home By BILL LIDE Dizzy Gillespie, the world renowned jazz trumpeteer, returned home to his roots in Laurinburg to start the works for a proposed Jazz Hall of Fame that would be built in the Laurinburg area. Gillespie, who is actually from nearby Cheraw, S.C., talked briefly to a large crowd on the Belk Center Patio about his proposed plans. He attended the Laurinburg Institute and feels that he should “give something back to the com munity” where he grew up. Gillespie, along with the three other musicians that make up the quartet he is currently playing with, answered questions from curious students and members of the Laurinburg community. The trumpeteer’s plans on the proposed building include a possible tour of fund raising concerts and a dona tion drive that would sell $5000 charter mernberships to the Hall of Fame to businesses and other large corporations. 'Gillespie is currently featured on Stevie Wonder’s new hit “Do, I Do” and believes that “Stevie owes me one.” He said that he has already received partial con firmation from Wonder and Chuck Mangione to play ■wit¥ him at the fund raising concerts. .Gillespie is currently on tour in the U.S.and is heading for Europe in the near future.. On the subject of Europe Gillespie said that the Euro-- pean jazz fai)s are much more aware of the jazz world than their American counter parts and he believes that Americans “Gotta be hip over here about our own music.” Gillespie also emphasized the importance of a com munity becoming aware of the music in their surroun dings. Lastly he said that the people of Laurihburg owe it to themselves to bring the jazz center to their town and that they should be suppor tive of the Scotland County Center for Arts so that Ihe dream can become a reality.
