Jason Dennis London Correspondent LONDON — It was like a bad dream. Maybe we could wake up, and everything would be all right. That’s what one woman from En gland told me the night before the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. Many of us woke up the morn ing of Aug. 31, shocked by the news of her tragic death. One newspaper headline read “DIANA IS DEAD” in bold black letters, with a picture of the dis mantled car just below it. Sixteen years of being the most photographed woman in the world came to a screeching stop in Paris. After people felt a deep sadness and confusion, anger set in. There had to be someone to blame. Was it the paparazzi who had chased her to the very end? Or was it the driver who was drunk and driving more than 121 miles per hour? Perhaps it was the public who had criticized her for so long? It all didn’t matter, though. Diana was unfortunately gone for good. Now, she seems to be frozen in time. So, it was fitting for Elton John to sing “Candle in the Wind” at her funeral last Saturday.

After her death, we weren’t sure what to do. As a college stu dent from the United States I felt even more out of place. Still, I felt a magnet pulling me to her home of Kensington Palace. It was a place of tight emo tions. People who knew her well cried openly, while those who didn’t know her still felt a real loss. There were flowers, heartfelt notes and pictures hanging on the edge of the fence.

Last year. The Pendulum re corded more than 55 alcohol/drug related citations during the first two weeks of classes. This year the num ber of violations has dropped sig nificantly. So far 12 arrests concerning alcohol or drugs have been reported during the first two weeks of the 1997-98 school year. At the start of the fall 1996 semester a new ordinance was passed that prohibited students from carrying open containers. “A lot of the violations last year were for open containers,” said Dan Ingle, Town of Elon Col lege police chief. “Students weren ’t aware of the new ordinance.” Students received notices in their campus boxes concerning lo cal ordinances and state laws re garding alcohol. The use of fake ID’s, possession of beer and DWI charges were some of the issues discussed. “During the first week of classes, we (town police) issued verbal warnings for open contain ers,” Ingle said. Chuck Cantos, director of cam pus safety and security, said he believes the alcohol task force has contributed to the decrease in alco hol problems on campus that nor mally occur during the first part of see ALCOHOL, page 6
