dy Kennedy, owner
e Tavern. Elon
^ials had wanted the
ABC commission to deny the
alcohol permit after an elderly
woman was attacked by Elon stu
dent Arthur R. Griffin. Griffin
had supposedly spent some time
in the tavern before the attack
occured.
“Arthur Griffin was never
served according to the
bartenders on duty,” said Ken
nedy. Kennedy’s lawyer, Frank
Harris, was quoted in the
Greensboro News and Record as
saying, “If he (Griffin) was in
there, there is no evidence.” He
added that “we’ve been having to
deal with rumors and innuendo.”
An alleged fight and reported
drug sale prompted Elon Police
Chief, Dan W. Ingle, and Town
Manager, Roxie Hetzel, to write
letters in opposition to the
renewal of Kennedy’s alcohol
permit.
According to the Greensboro
News and Record, “Ingle also
opposes the alcohol permit
because of the tavern’s proximi
ty to a church and residences and
what he considers inadequate
parking for the 1,800-square- foot
bar.
The Greensboro News and
Record also cited Harris as say
ing, “We’re a little bit flab
bergasted at the opposition. We
sincerely feel we’re operating a
very clean and orderly establish
ment.” Harris said, “I’m not
saying we’re providing a service
to Elon, but if it weren’t for us.
students would have to get in their
cars to get a beer.”
Dan Williams of the Alamance
County Health Department in
spected the tavern last Wednes
day and granted Kennedy a food
permit.
After spending $30,000 and
weeks of renovating the new
tavern, Kennedy feels that he has
“a good place for Elon students
that meets all legal requirements.”
