Student alcohol violations increase awareness promoted university-wide
by SCOTT THOMPSON
Yellow Jacket Staff Writer
Like many college and univer-
sity campuses around the nation
Howard Payne University joined
a common club whose only mem-
bership involves problems with
student alcoholism.
The number of student alcohol
violations on campus for the past
three years shows that HPU docs
not have a high number of stu-
dents expelled from school for this
violation. In the 1991-92 school
year there were only two incidents
of alcohol violations on campus

University students have an op-
portunity to leave classwork be-

On May 13. HPU students will
join several oilier universities and
fly to Israel. Once there they will
take busses to the site of the an-
cient city of Banias. in Northern
Israel.
For a month students will get
first-hand experience with the
excavation of this historical city.
Banias is located at the foot of
Ml. Hcrmon. where a spring

the Policies and Procedures for
Security and Safety handbook
found in Student Life. The 1992-
93 school year showed no re-
corded incidents but the record
sky-rocketed in the 1993-94
school year to 10 recorded inci-
dents of student alcohol violations
on campus.
HPU's drug and alcohol policy
is clearly stated in the drug and
alcohol handbook found in the
Student Life Center and in other
university literature: "The posses-
sion use or distribution of alco-

called Cacsarca Philippi; Herod
the Great built a temple there;
later many Roman buildings and
a crusader fortress were con-
structed there.
Dr. Donnic Auvenshine dean
of the school of Christian stud-
ies has made several trips lo
Banias with Hardin-Simmons
University students prior to
leaching here and he will be ac-
companying the HPU students
on this trip.
"The Banias dig is an archeo-
logical field school" Auvenshine
said. "Students will learn as they
dig. The trip will also give stu-
dents the background and con-
text for familiar Bible stories."

"This is awesome" Blackaby
said "I am overwhelmed that the
Lord let me be present."
Blackaby who is the author of
the popular Experiencing God sc-

preached that students can each
have a direct encounter with God
just as Simon Peter did in Luke 5.
He stated that the same God that

dents who live on campus some
students they know drink on cam-

caught or even worry about it.
One anonymous student spoke on
the subject.

Drama department presents 1950s
musical Guys and Dolls next week

Gamblers and Hot Box girls
will take over Howard Payne Uni-
versity next week.
That's when the drama depart-
ment will present its version of the
famous 1950s musical. Guys and
Dolls. Directed by Dr. Nancy Jo
Humfcld the show will run Feb.
23-26. Humfcld who is the direc-
tor of musical theater said the
show promises lo be one of the
best Howard Payne has hosted.
"Those who have attended re-
cent musicals know that we strive
for a high-energy fast-paced and
exciting show" Humfcld said.
"The cast of Guys and Dolls is
incredible and I have really
pushed them farther than in pre-
vious years. The choreography is
very difficult but a lot of fun and
the cast members arc really enjoy-
ing the challenge."
The musical which was the
fifth-longest running Broadway
musical of the 1950s was created
from two leading characters in
Damon Runyon's short story "The
Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown." As
the story unfolds. Sky Masterson
(played by Robert J. Ilarlinan) is
a slick Broadway gambler who
makes a bet that hecan make agirl
go to Havan with him. A pure-at-hcarl
Salvation Army-type re-
former Miss Sarah Brown
(Annette Bond) falls for Sky and
succumbs to him. Nathan Detroit
(Brcnnon M. Ewan) a floating
crap game organizer makes the
bet with Sky and chooses the girl
fro him while battling wits with
the Hot Box nightclub's main at-
traction Miss Adelaide (lilisa
dent said. "We usually have left
over beer and we'll hide it in the
rooms for later in the week. Our
R.A. hardly ever checks our
rooms much anyway."
"I think HPU has a drinking
problem" said freshman Jay
Walker. "I know about six stu-
dents personally who drink. The
use of alcohol is fine if it's like
one glass of champaign or some-
thing but to drink to get drunk is
abusing it."
A few ideas have been pre-
sented on how to help prevent this
problem from escalating. One

With this unlikely romance
Humfcld said this "musical fable
of Broadway" comes to life with
Runyon's high-minded lowlifcs
solution involves a designated
drivers group that would be com-
pletely student-involved. If asm-
dent was out drinking and didn't
have a ride home they could call
a number and someone would
drive them with no questions
asked instead of letting them try
to drive back on their own.
"If this drivers hotline was
done through student government
and was totally student-involved
then it might work" said HPU
President Dr. Don Newbury. "But
in a sense that would be condon-

about working with this cast is ilic
