Neal Bushoven, residence di
rector of Mecklenburg, recom
mended to the faculty on Tuesdya,
Feb 22 that Sunday, April 24 at Ex
travaganza be a non-alcoholic
celebratio. Bushoven’s reasons stem
from several areas, including college
traditions.
Extravaganza, the largest,
most popular, campus-wide party,
began as a Saturday event. Granville
paid for the party which involved
live music, fun games, and a pig
picking. Granville raised money for
this event by holding a party for
Halloween. As Extravaganza became
more popular, Friday night was added
totheparty.Theresidencehall raised
money for keg beer at a time when

Smoking is a dirty habit There
is no other way to put it. But there is
one thing that can be done to make it
betterfortheenviroment; SAVETHE
FILTERS!
When you're done smoking,
don't throw the filter on the ground.
That is littering. Most of the ciga
rettes on the market today do not
have biodegradable fillers.
In order to clean up the image of
smokers, do not pollute any more
than you have to. Yes. the butts are
smelly, gross, and generally repul
sive, but they don't belong on the
ground.
twenty-one the beer kegs were no
longer a part of Extravaganza.
In 1989. Cynthia Greer, dean
of student life, decided to bring the
kegs back to Extravaganza. Since
this time. Extravaganza has been
extended to Sunday. Beer is served
on Simday from 1 to 3pm.
Bushoven said that it is a college
tradition not to serve beo- on a day
prior to classes. He said there is no
reason for making Extravaganza an
exception. Bushoven said Students
don’t seem to realize how good they
have it.” He pointed out problems on
this campus with alcohol abuse and
he hopes that this proposition will
help to get some dialogue going be
tween students and faculty. Bushoven
said that he is not trying to attack the
student drinkers, but trying to work

drinking, disruptive behavior, and
violation of quiet hours.

stiuation. "I think they are settling
down now."
with them to come to a compromise.
OthCT faculty and staff seem to
agree. Pamela McLaurin. resident
director of Orange, stated “I am just
a little bit concerned about a Presby.
terian college sponsoring an event
serving alcohol." She said that this
would not be as bad if the drinking
were done in moderation. McLauiin
also stated that the event should fo-
cus on more activities that do not
relate to alcohol. Trudy Smith, resi
dent director of Albmarle, agreed
with McLaurin and Bushoven. She
suted that Extravaganza should be
an exciting time for all, not just for
the students that drink. Bushoven
McLaurin, and Smith anphasized
that they would like Ganza to be a
success from all aspect
