If you are, and get caught, Elon’s policy on drinking offers more than just a slap on the hand to underage consumers of alcohol. Offenders will find themselves enrolled in the Alcohol Education Program. This is mandatory for first time offenders. The program is directed by Dean Paterson of Stu dent Affairs. Class sessions are conducted resident advisors Sarah Forbes, Jeff Van Ness, and Pat Ryan. Each class leader takes an ac tive role in establishing a produc tive enviroimient for discussing drinking on campus—particularly as it relates to underage consumers. Classes are divided into sec tions. They begin with a videotape which features a humorous straight-talk approach about how alcohol affects you and what it means to be an alcoholic. The tape presents 16 points that can help a drinker determine whether he or she has a drinking problem and may be becoming an alcoholic. The Foundation of drinking problems lies in what is known as the “alibi system”. An alcoholic will drink for any reason, “It rain ed today” or “It didn’t rain today.” Only after this “alibi system” has collapsed can the alcoholic be helped. After the tape, class leaders See Drinking, Page 3
