About Campus tfooze rules review is ironic, hypocritical Fine Food 8P 11:80 A.M. - < II, it jitappy nour ^ Cbl I TRIP Walt Dtei APRIL 2< ^^^^INFOR By CHUCK CROMER Entertainment Editor In the April 11 issue of The Gamecock, a news story reported that, "The Division of Student Affairs is reviewing USC's rules concerning students' use of beer and other alcoholic beverages on campus." THE STORY WENT ON to quote Student Affairs Vice President James B. Campbell as saying, "USC -:-i- 41 uuiciuis are jusi Decoming aware of what could be a serious problem... If consuming beer is abused or continued to be abused, then university officials can refuse beer privileges to all students throughout the campus." These comments were made in regard to complaints about a growing drinking problem on campus. Personally, I consider the comments of Dr. Campbell (a man I respect professionally and as a friend) to be unintentionally ironic and hypocritical. INDIRECTLY, the Division of Student Affairs is intensifying USC's abuse of alcohol on campus by sponsoring its sale in the Golden Spur, the Russell House ballroom and Bell Camp. In each of these areas, the consumption of beer, wine and anything * else other than hard liquor is legal and the available quantities are nearly unlimited. Since the use of alcohol in these locations falls under the jurisdiction of the Division of Student Affairs, that office becomes responsible for the controlled dispensation of the alcohol and the behavior of the drinkers. Yet what restrictions are placed on the sale of alcohol in these areas? Almost none. THE RUSSELL HOUSE BALLROOM, for exam?lo .11? -? * p.*,, ammo any cntti iei eu uat ciud or organization to have alcohol sold at functions by simply requesting it from the Golden Spur management. Usually no limit is placed on the amount of alcohol consumed during an event. thus, legally, students can get bombed and be Spirits 900 f Close 77 ^ 6 ABC Permit Ladies* Nite - We< Thursday - Stoney Branc nu Mm Ky World 4 . , - M/U I C0$T $43 MATION V 777-6460 SIGN UP BY APRIL 22 Ty RHUU TRAVEL CENTER it rowdy under the i Affairs.
