Off to a flying start?
Wiess junior John Brookby held
the first meeting Tuesday forming a
new club on campus—the Wee Fly-
ing Club. Seventeen people attended
the first meeting, which was designed
to "get a feel for the interest on cam-
pus," according to Brookby.
"I walked into the room not know-
ing if anyone would show," Brookby
said. "I was pleased with the out-
come."
Brookby explained that the club
is still very open and he encouraged
all students and faculty with interest
in aviation to become involved.
Although Brookby himself does
have a private pilot's license, being
licensed is not a requirement of the
club.
"There is a lot of self-initiative
required beyond what an^lub could
give you.
"There is no precedent that we're
following," Brookby said. "The pur-
.pose is just to enjoy aviation." Four
attendees at the first meeting had a
pilot license.
He also identified safety seminars,
networking in the aviation industry
and a mini-library resource center as
other possible goals for the club.
Anyone interested is invited to
attend a second meeting scheduled
for October 22 to establish officers
and discuss a constitution. For fur-
ther information, call 669-9688.
Beer, water, chug
practices, and the
alcohol policy
Director of Student Activities
Sarah Nelson Crawford met with
beer-bike chug captains and college
coordinators Wednesday to discuss
the role of the alcohol policy in chug
practices this year. The group at-
tempted to exonerate chug practices
from alcohol policy regulations which
require each practice to be regis-
tered as an official, public event.
This year, alcohol policy forms
will not be required as long as each
college agrees to certain restrictions.
"The agreement we reached is
that without filling out alcohol policy
paperwork, we cannot provide beer
to non-participants and must use a
50-50 mixture of beer and water,"
said Lovett college coordinator and
men's chug captain Mike Lorenz.
"This is just what we were dis-
cussing, but I can't say anything of-
ficially until I talk with [ Dean of Stu-
dents] Sarah Burnett," Crawford said.
Lorenz added that the change
would also save colleges money.
Registering chug practices re-
quires hiring bartenders, identifying
student security officials, providing
all students of age with wristbands
for identification and providing food,
all of which increase the cost of the
event.
