Drinking restricted at niitrinnr onnnort Ml W&H&MUWI %IUflIUUI * By Jerry Chapman Carolina students can anticipate changes in this year's Homecoming Outdoor Concert with regard to the buying and drinking of beer on the premises, according to Student Activities Director Jerry Brewer. "The Homecoming Commission requested and came up with the plans for the selling of beer at the concert," he said. The concert, scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday on Field A, features The Producers and Cruise-O-Matics. Identification cards will be checked at the gate and students will be given a wristband for $1, displaying their legal age. With the wristband, students will be able to purchase $1 beer. Only one beer at a time will be sold to each person. In past years students could take coolers with their own beverages to the concert. With the change in the drinking age, the Homecoming Commission had to revise the Policy to fit university and state regulations. "We feel it (the selling of beer at the concert) will be within i j i m n * 1 state law ana our policies on campus, nrewer saiu. The University Policy on Use of Alcohol states "consumption or displays of beer, wine, or distilled spirits is not permitted in public areas of University owned facilities..., except as stated below: 1. When registered for a specific group function for beer and wine with the appropriate department." The Homecoming Commission is also providing protective measures for people at the show. The show is scheduled to last for three hours. Beer sales will stop after two and a quarter hours to give those who may have drank too much time to sober up," Brewer said. The commision will also provide rides home. A team of students called "Beer Busters" will patrol the area, making sure beer drinkers are of legal age. Anyone drinking without a wristband will be asked to pour out the beer. Repeat offenders will be removed from the eoneert area. "We want students to be able to make their own choice about what they want to drink," Brewer said, "and we don't feel it should be the emphasis of the event." "The main focus of this event is to listen to the bands, have a coke, beer or hot dog on a Friday afternoon and celebrate homecoming," Brewer said.

"I'm no better than any other student. I go drink beers, go to the movies and sleep late just like anybody else," in said German, 2.2, of Greenville.

German, president of the Carolina Program Union last year, had no previous involvement in student government and held a negative view of the organization's role before he decided to run for office last January. "If you had asked me what student government Was last fall, I couldn't have answered," he said. "All I knew was that they had a lot of money and allocated budgets." His perception has changed since he took office last March after winning the position in a run-off election with Tony Snell. German said he hopes to shed a brighter light on the role of student government for other students. "I TIIINK student government is in a position to have great impact on the university.
