USC's drinking poli ki non ai__u_i i: r ivew uou diuuiiui puiiuy i awaits official approval I By Maria Ferrara 1 The 1985 university policy on alcohol use has been printed |1 in draft form and will go to USC department heads for ap- 1] proval today. j I Laveta Small, assistant vice president for student affairs, p said the policy includes cnanges rrom me previous year s policy and that the department heads will probably only make wording changes for 1985. "We kept the idea of wearing university ID cards at oncampus parties involving the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Students must be wearing their USC IDs to enter these parties," she said. SHE STRESSEDthat this policy and others in the draft will be consistent with the Campus Alcohol Project. Small said, however, that the major change in this year's policy concerns registration of campus parties. "We went through the registration format, looking at both residential housing and greek housing, and there were some in consistancies. 'Bring Your Own'-type parties were allowed in the fraternity halls and not in the residential halls. We realized p that the fraternity halls are residential halls, so they too must B register all parties," Small said. | Small said neglecting these unregistered parties was a big g oversight in last year's policy and that Student Affairs felt it | must be corrected this year. Small said the only other major changes are tne legal arinicing age of 20 for beer and wine effective Jan. 1 and registra- a tion of on-campus parties. a "WE WILL register them, but we will neither approve them or disapprove them. It is just a matter of knowing where the parties are being held." ' Can ji|| /;.A\!;111v"Safi "'-i*L.-" -.?A. vv ?!-.1 **".

The chapter decided not to wait for the city zoning board to decide if they were going to continue the waiver at the Whaley Street residence. The board had been giving the PiKAs special permission to live in this residential area, and the issue was to come before the boiard again Dec. 10. "They decided that the physical condition of the house and the entire issue was becoming too much I of a burden," said PiKA alumnus Curtis Loftis. The PiKAs had been considering the move but Loftis, "got the ball rolling," said one member of the fraternity. When the chapter made the decision to move ,the president \ found a place on campus tor the I fraternity meetings.

"Pi Kappa Alpha Inc. is not renting the house, therefore it's not officially the PiKA house. The boys simply needed a place to live near campus, i have a separate lease with all of the boys living there and they are the only ones with keys to the house," he said. Loftis purchased the house in early fall with three other duplex houses. He said the PiKAs will be ahlp fn hnvp nartips anH hf? doesn't believe they will have any problems with the neighbors. "It's just like other fraternities that have members living off campus. They have parties and invite their brothers, and I'm sure these guys will do the same."

There are about 10 or 11 duplex houses in that area, and because Loftis is renting the house to the individuals and not to PiKA Inc., there is no need for special consideration by the city zoning board.
