John Barleycorn at Guilford? To students at North Carolina State, UNC-CH, Duke, Davidson, yes, even at our sister college Haverford, drinking on campus is more or less a dead issue.- They can drink, they do drink, and they will drink! At Guilford, however, the issue is slightly different—here you can't even drink off campus, if its a college-related function. Extended broadly, this ruling becomes applicable even to three Guilford students drinking at Ham's. Recognizing that a problem exists, the student Legislature appointed a committee to probe the student body on three basic questions—l) should drinking be allowed at off-campus activities, 2.) should beer be allowed at college union functions, and 3.) should there be a revision of the rules relating to punishment of violators? As expected, the survey revealed a nearly unanamious approval of all three issues, so the legislature responded accordingly. The product was a bill dropping the "and college related functions," but retaining the provision dealing with on campus drinking.

Thus wisely, to our minds, have Zack Lowe and the student legislature urged revision (not total change) insisting only that the unenforceable section pertaining to drinking in "off-campus" activities, be dropped. At UNC-CH, after finally concluding that their rule forbidding drinking on campus was unenforceable, the University accepted defeat by announcing that the university now "discourages" the use of alcoholic beverages. Many other colleges including southern colleges, have recently learned that students are becoming increasingly less docile. Today they insist upon the right to participate in policy decisions which directly affect their lives* The students are not opting for installation of beer machines in every dorm, nor do they suggest that the college hire a CO to "tend bar" down in the grill room. What they do suggest is that the "dead wood" be removed from the present rule so that the students can stop breaking college law.

Steegmuller Legislature Action The legislature last Monday night approved a proposal to establish and maintain proper lighting on campus. The new lighting will be placed along all walkways at approximately twenty yards apart. Martha Bradshaw and Steve Bowles presented a proposal providing for the employment of another guard by the college. The proposal, which was approved unanimously, also states that the parking lots will be the second guard's primary responsibility and that the guard has the authority to arrest anyone who refuses to identify himself. The legislature also passed a proposal by Zack Lowe to allow the vice-president or some other member of the student legislature to preside Friday, December 13, 1968 over meetings so that the president would be free to join the body of legislators. A list of the students elected by the legislature to serve on the designated faculty committees was presented to each member. The students and committees are Teacher Education- Steven Pruit and Lloyd Covington; Admissions—Steve Tashiro, and Cheryl Sprinkle; Library—Paul Reddick and Abbey Moore; Foreign Studies—Kay Reid and Page Via; Freshman Seminars- Steve Pruit and Anita French; Academic Retention—Dennis Carroll and Kurt Woods; Athletic Committee—Susan Ratteree and Carl Sutherland; Dana Scholars—Neal Trogdon and Gene Kelso; and Foreign Students-Daphne Helms and Edwardo Massu.
