Festival Kicks Off 37th Greenfeather
By Becky Bridges
News Editor
Once again it's Greenfeather
Week, the traditional week in the
fell when Stetson students are
busy representing their organizations in fan-filled activities with
a purpose, and just enjoying themselves.
For the past 36 years, Greenfeather has raised money for area
charitable organizations.
During its 37th year, Greenfeather is continuing the Stetson
tradition of giving back to the
community, contributing the
week's proceeds to charities such
as the Duvall Home, United Way,
and Hospice of Volusia County.
Last year's Greenfeather raised
$29,000 and it is hoped by this
year's organizers that the funds
collected1 this year will surpass
that amount by at least $1,000.
To add a competitive edge to
the week, and to stimulate student
involvement in the activities,
organisations compete with one
another throughout the week to
earn points towards being named
the top participating group of
Greenfeather.
The week started out on Sat
urday evening with the first annual Oktoberfest, held on the
CUB circle. The event featured
German food, dancers, and music.
Also featured were the infamous Sauerkraut Slide and the
sausage eating contest.

Gordis Drug Bust
Heightens Awareness
By Derek Ashworth
Staff Writer
Stetson University affirmed its
commitment to the student code
of conduct recently in the suspension of two students for possession of illegal drugs.
An interview with Kemper
Smith, Director -of Residential
Life and Associate Dean of Campus Life, acknowledged that two
Stetson students, residents of
Gordis Hall, had been suspended
for violating "Section C, 1" of the
student conduct code, addressing
campus policy on alcoholic beverages and illicit drags.
Smith revealed that sufficient
information and suspicion had
existed before university officials
conducted a room search in the
residence hall of the two students.
They were suspended following
an administrative hearing.
"Drugs on campus aren't anymore prevalent than before this
incident," the associate dean warned, "But when information and
suspicion exist, the university will
pursue it."
Smith was joined by University
Vice-President Jim Beasley last
Wednesday in a meeting with
members of the public safety
department, head residents, representatives of Greek organizations,
and other student leaders to rev
iew the aims of university policy.
Student leaders were reminded
that the university attempts to
help students grow both in and
out of the classroom.
They were asked to remind
their peers of the potential consequences of violating the university
code of conduct.
As Smith indicated, it is possible that a warrant for a student's
arrest be issued for the use or
possession of drags, and definitely
for the sale of drugs.
Students must consider not
only the academic consequence of
breaking the Stetson code of
conduct but also prosecution for
violating Florida state laws. ■

game, and dance contests.
Sunday's event of the day was
