New Policy for Public Drunken Behavior

The faculty approved revisions of College policy in regard to alcohol abuse, based on alcohol related problems on campus including a 1981 incident with the Alpha Chi Rho Fraternity. The new policy instituted arrests and fines for public drunken behavior. Arrested students were required to appear before the Carlisle District Justice Meade Lyons, and pay a fine averaging from $40 to $60, but possibly as high as $300.  The individuals could also be brought before College Social Violations Hearing Board to be held accountable for their actions.
