Mailbox
problem
remedied
By Vicky Jiggetts
Staff Writer
During the summer, the com
binations to the student mail
boxes were changed. Buck
Bayliff, director of auxiliary
services, said that it was a
necessary change. “We disco
vered that the mailbox com
binations hadn’t been changed
for many years,” he said. “Many
students not only knew their
own combinations, but also the
combination to other boxes.”
Presently, two students
share a mailbox because there
aren’t enough for everyone to
have their own. Bayliff said,
“My ultimate goal is for every
student to have his own private
box. We will eventually purch
ase more boxes for on-campus
students. Each box will cost
approximately $45.”
He also said that students
will keep the same mailbox un
til they graduate. “As of now,
we will not change combina
tions until the student gradu
ates”, Bayliff said.
Bayliff said that students
had some problems trying to
open their mailboxes, because
the combinations were not
done correctly. “When we
changed the combinations, we
used inexperienced labor,
such as students. Maintenance
said that they would take care
of this problem as soon as
possible,” Bayliff said.
There have been cases of
vandalism to the mailboxes.
Bayliff said, “People are pop-
i ping the glass out of their mail
boxes when the combination
doesn’t work, so that they can
get their mail. This only opens
their mail to anyone who wants
it It is possible that it may be a

DWI law
affects
colleges
By iMkia Lanka
Associated E4it*r
N.C. Rep. Martin Lancaster.
3ne of tbe authors of the Safe
Roads Act. addressed adminis^
trators from private colleges at
Duke University Sept. 18.
The conference, sponsored by
the N.C. Association of Private
Collies and Universities, was
held to discuss the ramifica
tions of the Safe Roads Act for
organizations and institutions.
Effective Oct. 1. this act
changes the current charge of
DUI to the new charge of DWI
(driving while impaired). A
driver may ^t a DWI if author
ities can prove the driver's
physical or mental faculties
are impaired by alcohol, drugs
or a combination of both. The
Safe Roads Act also raises the
l^al drinking age to 19.
William Long, dean of stu
dent affairs, one of seven rep
resentatives of Elon College at
the conference, said in an in
terview that according to Rep.
Lancaster, during the last two
years more Americans were
killed by drunk driving than in
the Vietnam War.
“Because of drunken driv
ing,”’ Long said, “there have
been fatalities, and this is what
led to the Safe Roads Act”
I One of the provisions of the
new law is that police can set
up roadblocks to specifically
check for drunken drivers.
“They cant be capricious; the
police have to have a plan of
contingency so that if they start
stopping cars, they will avoid
traffic build-up,” Long noted.
Long said that the main
reason the drinking a^ was
hiked to 19 was to get drinking
out of the high schools. He
