"In order to provide proper
staffing, to provide for a conducive
educational environment, you're
going to have to have some registration
notice system," said Jerry
Brewer, director of Student Life.
The SGA proposal will probably
not be what the alcohol policy
becomes because the final decision
ic IISP's Hnwp.ve.r manv eronns
will have a voice in the decision, so
it's likely the new policy will be a
blend of the old policy and the proposed
one.
"Something in the middle
between what we're doing now and
what the proposal is will probably
meet with everybody's approval,"
Brewer said.
Resident advisers and residence
hall directors will be the ones
required to enforce whatever policy
is proposed.
"Provided residents act responsibly
and do not cause problems for
the other residents, a revision of the
current policy has valid points,"

By College Press Service
MARIETTA, Ga. ? A member
of the House of Representatives
who teaches a course beamed to
150 sites around the nation from a
public Georgia college has raised
questions about mixing politics and
academia.
House Minority Whip Newt
Gingrich, a conservative
Republican who represents
Georgia's sixth district in suburban
north Atlanta, teaches a course
titled "Renewing American
Civilization" to 150 undergraduate
and graduate students at Kennesaw
State College at Marietta. The
course, which began Sept. 18, is
being broadcast by satellite to various
sites around the nation.
The format involves a series of
lectures by Gingrich on his vision
for saving the country's moral and
economic structure. Gingrich, cofounder
of the Conservative
Opportunity Society, is widely
known for his conservative ideas
and opposition to what he terms
Clinton implen
By College Press Service
WASHINGTON, D.C. ?
President Clinton signed into law a
scaled-back version of his plan to
promote national service among
youth in exchange for federal help
with the high cost of .a college education.
Under the National Service and
Community Trust Act, students
could work for up to two years,
making $4,725 annually to pay for
college or pay off existing loans.
Students also would earn a minimum
wage salary as they perform
service in a variety of social service
and environmental settings.
During the 1992 presidential
campaign, Clinton envisioned
national service as a way for all
students to attend college. But his
plan fell victim to various budget
pressures, and the package ultimately
approved by Congress is
expected to reach only a fraction of

"the welfare state."
The Gingrich-Kennesaw State
joint venture raised objections
among students and faculty who
were concerned about a state-funded
school offering classroom space
and support services as a platform
for a politician. Criticism intensified
when it was discovered that
some funds for the class were
received from GOPAC, a
Washington-based Republican
political action committee that is
chaired by Gingrich.
Supporters of the course accuse
course detractors of attempting to
muzzle the outspoken politician
under a cloak of "political correctness."
In addition to funds from
GOPAC, the 10-week class is

campaigns. There was more
concern when it was revealed that
GOP AC was involved in the planning
of the curriculum of the

the 5 million college students who
currently receive financial aid.
Nonetheless, the president, at a
White House ceremonv Sept. 21,
touted the new plan as an important
starting point to instill in youth a
tradition of service.
"I hope, believe and dream that
national service will remain
throughout the life of America not
a series of promises but a series of
challenges across all the generations
and all walks of life to help
us rebuild our troubled, but wonderful,
land," the president said.
To underscore the importance of
the occasion, Clinton signed the
bill with pens used by Franklin
Roosevelt to create the Civilian
Conservation Corns, a Depression
era service program, and John
Kennedy to create the Peace Corps
in the 1960s.
The bill authorizes $300 million
in 1994 to cover about 20,000 participants
in the program. The bill

Among the corporate contributors
to the course are Turner
Broadcasting Co., the Employer's
Policy Institute and Cracker Barrel
restaurants. The restaurant chain
has been boycotted by gay rights
groups for its policy that it won't
hire gays and lesbians. Documents
have revealed that the EPI gave
$25,000 to Gingrich, and praised
him for including in the curriculum
promotion of minimum-wage jobs.
"If the Sierra Club did exactly
the same thing for their values that
(would be considered) wonderful,
and it would be a positive story,
warm and glowing and fuzzy,"
Gingrich said. "But the fact that
somebody who believes in the private
sector and believes in jobs
wants to make sure that if they're
going to support it, that the course
is talking about the private sector
and jobs, that's somehow dangerous."

sets a goal of $500 million in funding
in 1995 and $700 million in
1996 to recruit a growing number
of students.
In addition to receiving minimum
wage and college aid, participants
will receive health insurance
and child-care assistance if applicable
during their service period.
The bill passed the House early
in August by a vote of 275-152.
Senate Democrats broke a
Republican-led filibuster of the bill
late in the summer and eventually
approved the measure by a 57-40
vote Sept. 8.
Even before the bill's signing,
Clinton kicked off his national service
effort earlier this year with a
"Summer of Service" for 1,500 students.
These youths helped immunize
children, rebuild communities
and clean the environment at 16
programs in cities including
Boston, Los Angeles, New Orleans,
New York and Philadelphia.
