College bans
drinking, sex
on campus
Trustees of Newberry College
have voted unanimously to con
tinue enforcement of rules
banning alcohol and forbidding
students to have visitors of the
opposite sex in their dormitory
rooms.
Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, president
of the Lutheran-supported co
educational college, said the ac
tion of the Board was taken at
its meeting in Newberry May
9th.
Newberry students are not
permitted to consume or pos
sess alcoholic beverages on the
campus or at college functions.
Living quarters are off-limits
for dating, with men and wo
men students being permitted
to meet only in the social
lounge areas of dormitories.
Some students have been
pressing for relaxation of the
rules. Dr. Wiles said. He des
cribed the discussion as “some
times heated, but conducted in
an atmosphere of mutual res
pect.”
He added that he feels the
Board’s resolution “is not in
tended to foreclose all discuss
ion, but it certainly is a very
strong reaffirmation of the
college’s long established trad
ition in these matters of stu
dent conduct.”
Newberry is a church-relat
ed college, the president point
ed out, and its constitution re
quires the school “to offer
young men and young women
higher education under posi
tive Christian influences.” The
college itraditionally has op
posed drinking, he said, “ant
we have stood positively for
such basic Christian virtues as
clean personal living and whole
some inter-personal relation
ships, especially in matters re
lated to sex.”
Newberry College has an en
rollment of 850. The school, es
tablished in 1856, is operated
by the South Carolina, Flor
ida and Southeastern (Geor
gia, Alabama, Tennessee am
Mississippi) Synods of the Lu
theran Church in America.
Academy holds
perents’ meet
Last Friday evening the

May Tarrant Epting, music
teacher, pupils in the various

President James C. Kinard
announced some plans for the
coming year. He said that there
had been arranged band in
struction, and baton lessons,
to be given after school hours.
He said that there would be
other opportunities offered but
that the school would continue
to concentrate on high academ
ic w r ork during the school
hours from 8:30 to 1:30.
The president stated that the
ninth grade would be added
this next session if there
should be a sufficient number
of definite applications; that
the enrollment in the first
eight grades was already high
er than that of the current
session and he urged that all
applications be sent in im
mediately as the size of all
classes, regardless of the de
mand, would have to be limited
so as to insure personal atten
tion to every child.
