2 ^^7e PCNbUlUM Wednesday September. 16, 1987 POLICE DEFEND THEIR POSITION By Amber Close Staff Writer There have been at least 30 arrests of Elon College students so far this fall semester by the Elon College police Department. Chief of Police Dan W. Ingle says that arrests of students always high at the beginning and the end of the school year. These arrests are usually for underage possession of alcohol, driving under the influence of alcohol and public consumption of alcoholic beverages. Some students feel that the Elon College Police Depatment is harassing students un necessarily. Suzi Nivison, who lives off campus in Sheridan Place claims that she and five other residents were reprimanded by an Elon Police officer at 1:30 a.m. while quietly talk ing on the front porch of their homes. “He very rudely said that he would arrest the owners of the house if we didn’t move inside. We were doing absolutely nothing more than having a normal conversation,” Nivison said. Scott Flouronty also says he was arrested for various charges while leaving a party and asked a police officer why his friend was being held in the back seat of the car. “I just asked him a question and they arrested me for inciting a riot and other charges,” Flouronty said. oil - aii|/ Many students are apprehensive about having parties because they know the part^ get large and the police, acting on complaints, will have to break them up. According to Chief Ingle, the breaking up the parties is the exception rather th/ rule. He also said many people have parties that start out small, then people, wan around the street looking for something to do, will join in, and the party soon loud and large. “Many freshmen have been attending parties, drinking underage and getting cai we catch them we will enforce the law,” Ingle said. If a person is 19 or 20 years old ing is only an infration with up to a $25 fine. Chief Ingle denies the accusation that Elon Police go out of the way to break parties. “We don’t have police officers in cars driving up and down the street looki parties to break up.” One possible answer to the problem according to Chief Ingle: “The school should a fraternity row where students can hold social functions. It would help the coimie as well as the students. It would also help a lot of the friction in town.” , Lady Christians Take Their Lumps on Volleyball Com-t By Ladonna Martin Sports Writer The Elon College Women’s volleyball team traveled to Charleston, SC, last weekend to compete in the College of Charleston’s Invitational Volleyball Tournament. Friday afternoon, the Universi ty of South Carolina-Spartanburg beat Elon 5-15, 5-15 in first round action. In the .second round, the Lady Christians were defeatd by Guilford College 9-15, 15-5, 6-15. The team was beaten again in the third round by Huntington College of Georgia 1-15, 6-15. Trellaney Boyd, setter-hitter for the team ,said,“At times we played great, and at other times we played conservative. I feel that this type of play will change as the season progresses.” The team played again Satur day, against Rollins College of Florida losing 6-15, 5-15. Coach Ray said,“Youth and lack of experience played big parts in the losses.” In their final match of the tournament, the Christians fell to the College of Charleston 5-15, 12-15. To spite the losses, coach Ray stated,“Freshman Trellaney Boyd played extremely well throughout the tournament as did players Michele Engle and Toby Miller. She felt that the team played with enthusiasm and they ex perienced different types of of fenses and and defenses they are not used to facing. The team opens its season this Friday against Gardner-Webb Col lege at 2 p.m. in Jordan Gym. “We hope that the students will come out and support us in our first home season Friday,” Boyd said. .
