Starting this month, Meredith
students and employees will no
longer have to (teal with the hassle
of finding time and a way of getting
to a bank. Meredith College, with
the help of Bill Wade, Controller,
and the Business and Finance De
partment, is getting its very own
automated teller machine.
Within the next couple of
weeks a Wachovia banking machine
will be installed in Cate Center and
will be ready for use by any student,
employee, or guest of Meredith
College. It will be located in the
lobby of Cate and will be available
for use during the time Cate Center
is open. The Business and Finance
Department feels this is a conve
nient and safe location for the new
machine.

SGA concerned about reports
of alcohol on campus
by Kristen Tyvoll
Because of the large number
of reports of alcohol on campus, the
Student Government Association
(SGA) wants to remind students of
Meredith’s policies on alcoholic
beverages. These policies are all
found in The Student Handbook.
The handb(X)k states, “... stu
dents shall not possess or consume
intoxicants on the campus, or at
college-sponsored functions... Any
amount of alcohol shall be consid
ered ‘possession’ and shall result in
judicial action” (21). SGA would
also like to remind students that
having alcohol in cars parked on the
Meredith campus is considered
“possession,” and will also be treated
in the above manner.
The SGA Executive Commit
tee has the right to conduct room,
locker and motor vehicle searches, if
there is a sufficient amount of evi
dence against a student. Hall searches
may also be conducted by the SGA
Executive Committee.
SGA wants to remind students
of the statement of honor found on
page 14 of the Tlie Student Handbook.
Every student is obligated to turn her
self in if she is in violation of the
Honor Code. If this does not happen,
the student jeopardizes both the Honor
System and Meredith’s system of self-
government.
Any student who has questions
may either refer to her handbook or
call Jennifer Hartig, SGA President.
Referrals should be given to Angela
Toms, Solicitor General.
for Business and Finance, explained
that up until now it has “never been
economically cost-effective.” He
said that with this machine “the Col
lege is bearing a substantial expense
monthly.” In a recent newsletter
from the department, an article about
the ATM read, "The convenience of
readily available cash has become
the norm in almost every commu
nity, and the Meredith community is
no exception.” Taylor views the in
stallation of the machine as a “ser
vice” to students. Wade said, "The
banks realized the advantages for
them, too.”
All the arrangements have
been made, all the special electrical
wiring has been done, and Wade said,
“Its a matter of getting the machine
and getting it loaded with money.”
