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. Local radio station XL106.7. 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. ■ came later in the evening and held a rap content, "musical people" game, and dance contests. Sunday's event of the day was Backpacking for Charity. Stetson organizations competed against one another in scavenger hunt that featured people from various organizations going around campus with decorated backpacks in tow.
