Page two/Carolina Journal/March 26, 1979 ^^^ MEWS Alcohol Awareness Week’s successfulness mixed By Bill Whittaker The Alcohol Aware ness Week programs went off “really well,’’ according to Dean of Students Chuck Lynch. “I was very pleased with the response of the stu dents." Lynch said espe cially the “six-pack" program, which was res ponded to very well, “got our educational message across." Erich Zwingert, soph omore, a participant in the program, revealed this message to be, “If you drink too much, your coordination gets screwed up." The six- pack program consisted of a drinker and non- drinker taking a dexter ity test. The drinker would then consume a beer. The test was re peated after each drink. At the end of the pro gram, the drinker’s coor dination was visibly im paired. Zwingert noted, however, his dexterity improved during the hour and a half long event. Lynch referred to the “have a draft" program as a “mistake.” He qual ified the statement, add ing, “We need more con trol of the program." The event referred to was a presentation by Correction The editorial on the proposed Student Body Constitution in the March 22 issue of the Carolina Journal con tained a misinterpreta tion we wish to clarify. In the portion of the editorial concerning the judicial system, it was said the constitution did not adequately describe the details for imple menting the judicial sys tem. According to the editorial, “One minor flaw in . . . the constitu tion is its failure to outline the specifics of the judicial system. Although details such as these do not belong in a constitution, it seems to be necessary because the article fails to delegate this authority to any other body and because the responsibility would naturally fall on the Stu dent Legislature, it could be years before the Pabst Brewing Co. on the beer industry. Lynch felt the program did not correlate especially well with the week’s design ed purpose. He had wanted the program to be deeper than what Pabst presented. Another of the pro grams associated with the week’s activities was Monday’s Alcohol Fair which consisted of a number of booths dis playing various types of liquor, a beer can collec tion and various types of literature. Agencies re presented in the fair were the Bethlehem Cen ter, Drug Education Center, Charlotte Coun cil of Alcoholism, Open House, the Randolph Clinic, Alcohol Educa tion Program, Alcoho lics Anonymous, Wo men’s Advocacy Com mittee, and supplying refreshments of natural health foods, Natural Choice. A highlight of the fair was the three hour long slogan contest. Slogans were collected for 10 mi nutes, judged and a “Drink Consciously" t-shirt was given away. Over the three hours, 20 shirts were won. Collecting the submis sions were at various system could become op erational." According to Dean of Students Chuck Lynch, the legislature has al ready passed an act which outlines the proce dures for the judiciary should the new constitu tion be ratified. He said the courts could be working within a matter of weeks.

Wine lasting seminar "very good" By Michael Roseman Several wine tasting programs were held last week as a part of Alco hol Awareness Week. Different wine experts presented the programs including the Vintage Distribution Company and Jerry Simpson, a mi nister in Charlotte and past weekly columnist for the Charlotte Obser ver on wines. On Wednesday, Simp son delivered a program in which he told some history on different types of wine. Later he gave students a chance to sample some. Several different types of wine were tasted by students. They started with three white wines, Weinfest, Kabinett and Les Charmes and then experienced Beaulieu and Inglenook, two red wines. In determining whet her a wine is good or bad, there are several things to consider. Cost and year should be no ticed as well as clarity, color and aroma. A wine should also be judged on bouquet, acidity, sweet ness and dryness, ba lance, body, trueness to type and aftertaste. Each of these facets were explained by Simp son. They were also responsi ble for aiding the judg ing. A number of the winn ing slogans were: “Be Simpson feels, “Wine goes good with food." Red wine goes with red meat and heavier dishes. White wine goes with white meat and lighter dishes. This is because white wine contains more acid than red. Because wine contains acid, it does not taste good with food that contains acids.

In making wine, there are many things affect ing the taste of it. The grapes as well as the soil make a difference. Drainage is important for nourishment of grapes.
