In brief
Catholic Concerns... AIDS and
abortion are issues on all college
campuses But what do students do
when they attend a school that
specifically denounces contracep
tive use and other alternatives?
Students at Catholic colleges will
explore these topics this month at
a national conference sponsored by
the National Association of
Students at Catholic Colleges and
Universities (NASCCU). At the
February 8-10 convention at the U.
of Dayton. NASCCU plans to dis
cuss how Catholic ail leges should
deal with issues like AIDS educa
tion. Small groups also will discuss
such issues as volunteerism. diver
sity, academic freedom, tuition and
federal funding. ■ Rachel Kress,

life at Duke 1’ The new policy i> simple
and easier to enforce, hut stricter with
its alcohol limitations
Lauren Womhle. president of Duke'.'
Panhellenic Council, supported the jx>1
icv, hut w ith mixed feelings
"It was a compromise because half of
the administration wanted to ban all
alcohol distribution, but students said
that would never work," she said
Womhle said that some people are
afraid that limiting drinking to three
days a week might increase the amount
students drink
New Social Scene
Both Greek and non-Greek students
however, predict that the new BY( >B pol
icv w ill create a more tightly knit (rater
nity social scene. shutting out a substan
tial number of students
Kne New man, the assistant director of
the Office of Fraternity and Sorority
Affairs at I P, said lie is concerned that
while fraternities will continue to spend
the same amount of money on social
events, the number of parties and the
number of jieople who will be entertained
at parties will dis'rease
"The social scene will shrink in size
between 60 and 70 percent,” said
Newman, a 1067 graduate "There isn't
going to be a Friday night party for
everyone
Reisman also predict'd that the fra ter
nity social scene will shrink and that
fewer students will interact with the sv s
tem
"Previously the only way people saw
the Greek system was in parties,
Reisinan said "Now people will he shut
out and fraternities will is- seen as more
elitist ”
Cara la-vit, Panhellentc Council pres
ident at Northwestern 1’ agreed
Northwestern passed a strict alcohol jx>l
icy last summer, one that requires (juest
lists, limits the amount of alcohol that
may t>e served at parties, and puts a ceil
mg on how many guests can attend a
campus party
Already, four Northwestern 1 Crater
nities have lieen cited and fined for not
adhering to the new alcohol policy, with
one fraternity receiving two violations
“Wejust feel its creating a social cli
mate that makes the Greek system
appear elitist, when that's something
we’ve been trying to avoid for years,"

I'll bet the vote could be even 95 percent
in favor"
Klissa McBnde. the campus organi/er
for the National Abortion Rights
Activists League, said the idea of on
campus abortions hasn’t been discussed
in too much detail NARAL is a college
pro-choice network which coordinates
efforts among 300 college campuses
"A number of other campuses have
passed pro-choice referendums, hut in
rny experience there has been no univer
sity to try to get campus abortion ser
vices." she said
Ternav said despite protests that a
university is for education and not ahor
tions. the college market demands equal
services
The college-age group is the largest
body getting abortions," Ternav said
"These people should be able to have
access to these services at their schools ”
“If a number of students decided they
wanted to embark on a similar project,
we would support them by providing
research and information. McBride
said "At this point it hasn't ls-en a top
issue
The Vote
At LTA. thf resolution's proponents
voiced complaints that statements made
by university President Wendell
Nedderman kept students from voting
Nedderman had told the Fort Worth
Star Telegram that the idea of an on
campus abortion clinic was "grossly
inappropriate
"A lot of students probably did not vote
or did against the resolution' because
they figured. Why bother, the adminis
tration will shoot it down anyway.
Ternay said
SC Historian Tern Talbert, who voted
for the resolution, said many students
were ignorant of the resolution s
research and didn't vote at all
"The fears they expressed were
because they didn’t have the same infor
mation we did,’ she said
Business representative John
Schleeter. who voted against the resolu
tion, said the issue was media-driven
and should not have been addressed.
“1 feel like I’m wasting my time in
Student Congress when we do this kind
of thing." he said "What have we done
to improve student life0
"We need to address real student
issues," Schleeter said "Maybe we won't
get Channel 5, but we might do the stu
dents some good "
