The program was sponsored by the Departments of Daace aad BeUgieas Stadias sad the la-ternstionsl Studeata Associatioa. Among the main topics of discussion at the April 1 senate meeting was President Hike Stewart's veto for an appropriation to the Association of Nursing Students, urging the senate to reconsider the matter. Senator Wanda Smith moved to allot $900 to the Association of Nursing Students to fund two members to go to the 1986 National Student Nurses' Association Convention in New Orleans, La. The motion fail-ed after a round of debate. Senator David Brown moved to override the president's veto on this matter and senate passed the motion by s 10-5 vote. In discussing old business, the senate psssed s resolution concerning University investments in South Africa. The resolution points out srguments for snd against University divestiture. Arguments against divestiture include: 1 (Companies csn make their most constructive contribution by exerting strong efforts to improve conditions snd opportunities for non-white employees. 2 (Better educated, more highly skilled workers should be able to exert more effective pressure for constructive change. 3)If companies withdraw, they will bring unemployment snd economic hardship to many non-white workers. 4(If companies withdraw, they may be replac-ed by less responsible corporations. 5J$incr American companies make up. in general, only a small fraction of'the local economy, withdrawal will not "bring the South African government to it's knees." Arguments for divestiture follow: 1)U.S. corporations have bad track records. They hsve not made vigorous attempts to im-prove conditions snd break down apartheid restrictions. 2)Even if companies promise to pursue positive chsnges, it will be difficult to mesiure implementation. 3(Since leas than one percent of all non-white workers sre employed by U.S. companies, the leverage they can exert is limited. 4)lVspite publicized efforts to improve condi-tions, the average pay in wages between white and non-white workers has actually widened in recent years. 5)The South African Government can enact laws that will disallow company improvements. 6)Investment snd availability of sophisticated technology strengthens the South African Government. 7)The very existence of American investment limits the flexibility of the U.S. government in considering economic sanctions. The resolution goes on record as supporting total divestiture from any and all companies, regardless of whether they adhere to the Sullivan Principles, that have operations in South Africa. The senate meeting on April 8 incurred a round of debates over the Neo Blsck Society's request for $1000 for their annual fashion show. The debate ended with the senate passing s motion to fund the NBS with $1000. The Student Escort Service snd their alioted budget was another hot spot on the agenda. Cur-rently , the chancellor earmarks $8000 of Hie 9lu-dent Government budget for the Escort Service, (Continued m page 5) New alcohol policy set for Fall 1986 By DAN JACKSON University policy regarding alcohol on campus is changing. Beginning Aug. 11 of this year, only students age 21 and over will be permitted to consume alcohol on campus. The change is in accordance with a new state law that raises the legal drinking age from 19 to 21, to become effective in September. As s state-funded public institution, UNCG must abide by that law. The direct result of this raising of the legal drinking age is that related areas of policy have been changed as well. These include the use of student activity fees snd dorm social fees to purchase bear, which areas can be designated for the serving and consumption of alcohol and the use of university facilities for events where alcohol will be served. According to Karen Carvel of the Office of Residence Life, "the most obvious result will be that dorm hall parties will become a thing of the past. This is because under the new policy social fees cannot be used to buy alcohol." The reasoning behind this new policy is that the nuyority of the students paying these fees will be under sge. As of March 6, there were 2,159 students under 21 liv-ing on campus, compared to 968 who were 21 or older. University-collected activity fees also cannot be used to by alcohol under the new policy. This includes monies given to organizations funded by Student Government and the EUC Coun-cil, such as the Outing Club and the Commuter Students Association. The policy toward alcohol in the dorms will become much more restrictive. Undergraduate dorms will not be able to sponsor events where alcohol will be serv-ed. Graduate dorms and in-dividuals will hsve to request permission from the area coor-dinator of Residence Life in order to have an event at which alcohol will be served. The con-sumption of alcohol in the dorms will be limited to students' rooms, kitchens and recreation rooms. Alcohol consumption will be prohibited in study rooms, hallways snd other public areas. Events at EUC where alcohol is served will be limited to university-recognized organiza-tions. Kegs will be allowed in the larger rooms that can be isolated, such ss the Benbow Room, Taylor Garden and Cone Ballroom. As under the current policy, Cone will only be used for campus-wide events sponsored by EUC. Bottles and cans can be served in virtually all of the rooms open to students. Permis-sion for events st which alcohol will be served will hsve to be granted by the Office of the Dean of Students. Plans for the event must con-form to state, municipal and university policy. A few pertinent points about current and future policy include: 'Alcohol cannot be sold on cam-pus now or in the coming year. 'Admission cannot be charged to an event where alcohol will be served in the future. •Alcohol still cannot be advertis-ed as being at the event. •Everyone consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol on campus is responsible for obey-ing the Isw. Any unlawful acts may result in judicial action, and revocation of a driver's license can occur even though the use of s vehicle is not involved. •Events on campus that involve the serving of alcohol must also include non-alcoholic beverages and food. •The amount spent on alcohol must not exceed that spent on non-alcoholic beverages and food at campus events in the future. 'Alcohol must be purchased st market value, not wholesale value. •Donations from alcohol distributors cannot be accepted in the future. "This fall, sponsors of an event must provide "bartenders" who will card drinkers. •The amount of alcohol allowed at an individual event will be limited as well. The restrictions include, for outdoor events, one keg per 100 persons, with s max-imum of 20 kegs; and for indoor events, one keg per 60 persons. •Proof of age will be required for consumption at all times. Although this change of policy might bring to mind images of nightly raids in the dorms snd an increase in the number of alcohol-related arrests, this is an unjust portrayal, according to Bruce Micheals, assistant dean of students and director of EUC. "The university expects its students to obey the law," be said. "This new policy will not be enforced to any greater extent than any other university policy. We will not all become police. However, we will not tolerate law breakers." One of the major reasons the legal drinking age will be raised is the pressure applied by the federal government. This pressure is in the form of s threst to reduce federsl highway money given to states with a legal drinking age of less than 21. But according to Rep. George Miller, a Durham Democrat, the amount of state revenues lost on taxes of beer snd wine will be grester than the amount of money contributed to North Carolina's highways by the federal government. Copies of the new policy will be available by next fall.

Schools ss diverse ss Notre Dame, Washington, Swarthmore and Minnesota — among dozens of others - have been grappling recently with measures to restructure, weaken, and in some cases, get rid of their student governments altogether. It wouldn't be the first time. Five years ago, reformers st Texss, Georgia, Virginia, Clinch Valley College, Oklahoma, Arizona, Arkansas snd Maryland, among other cam-puses, moved to dissolve all or parts of their campus governments.

At both those campuses, ad-ministrators "ventually helped rebuild student governments. But now st Texas and some other campuses, reformers are at it again.
