Such is the opinion of several members of the community regarding the work of the this semester. Common criticisms the failure of some articles to include arefully researched facts and the absence of a Publicized and clear explanation of the submission process for articles. While there was also a sentiment expressed thai the paper is an invaluable source of com- "... the paper should differentiate between opinion and fact." - Adriana Valdes munication, complaints about journalism seemed to prevail in conversations with those interviewed. A major issue was the integrity and honesty involved in the articles. SGA Comptroller Adriana Valdes notes that "the paper should Iferentiate between opinion and fact." Along these same lines, Leigh Perkins, a writer for the College's Public Relations Department, states, "There should be more news and less editorial izing. I have noticed some articles that are onesided and should not be. That's just 'good journalism.'" Another staff member citing an apparent information deficit in recent articles was Jonathan Erhlich, head of business services for the College. He observed, "Some articles are not as factual as they could be; there are too many editorial comments. One article which contained incorrect facts was 'Habitat for Humanity — A Study in Frustration.'" While Skipper Moran, SGA President, notes that, some of the facts in some of the articles have not been verified, he also states, "It is expected the articles be student sided." Judy Provost of the Lakeside Health and Counseling Center feels much the same way as Moran. She thinks that the evaluation of an ar tide' s o n e - sidedness" should take into account whether it is a news article or a commentary. She says, "Since the staff writers are writing about Rollins, where they take an active part in and are personally affected, it is natural that the articles are not one hundred per cent objective. This is not a bad thing." On the other hand, SGA Vice President Jason Dimitris believes, "the articles are not onesided." Rather, he notes that some articles are adequately researched, while others need to be researched more and checked for false information. Moreover, he believes that one-sided articles could be valuable if they encourage other people to respond to the newspaper with letters and com- m e n t s . Dimitris also attributes the lack of research to weak participation by Rollins Campus Safety cracks down by Layna Mosley Sandspur staff While Rollins students are not officially insulated from local and state laws concerning alcohol and drug use, they have effectively been above the law during the College's recent history. In the past few weeks, however, this has begun to change. The Office of Campus Safety has been enforcing the local law which prohibits the possession of alcohol in open containers. According to the Rollins Code of Students* Rights and Responsibilities, "Any violation of Florida state laws regrading alco- may be considered grounds for College disciplinary action. These include: ... to condor possess open containers of alcoholic Averages while in municipal parks, play- nds, sidewalks, or streets or to be found in k state of intoxication on a street or public Place while within the city limits. This open container law applies on and off campus." hi fact, an "open container," includes not 'y an open cup, can, or bottle containing *>hol but also a bottle of wine or liquor vhichhas had its seal broken. This means that noncarrying a half-full, corked bottle of ne ■ his or her car could be charged with a "elation of the open container law. Don Hensel, Chief Justice of the Student ^gBoard, notes that, since Campus Safety students. "They need more help researching articles, writing articles, and getting input, as well as obtaining event schedules in order to get the campus more organized." The consensus, then, seems to be that, while articles may often be written from a student's Featured front page stories ■ of 1991 page 7 perspective, they still must maintain an appropriate standard of journalism by verifying facts and statements.

Students who are "written up" must go before the Student Hearing Board. So far, the Board has responded by issuing warnings to first-time offenders. Their reason for doing so is that the law has not been consistently enforced in the past. Hensel notes that subsequent violations will result in further action by the Board. Hensel warns that students should take caution in leaving to parties or from parties while possessing alcohol in cups, cans, or bottles. Anyone, regardless of if they are of legal drinking age or not, may be cited for carrying an open container. These containers are also prohibited in residence hall common areas as well as outdoors. Hensel thanks everyone in advance for their cooperation with this new policy enforcement. When Rollins students return from their holiday break, they may find themselves dining in an atmosphere of nostalgia as Rose Skillman Hall is expected to be operating at full capacity. According to Gina Terrebonne, Senior Director of Dining Services, the renovation of functional facilities at Beans is ^ expected to be completed by the beginning of Winter Term. This means no more paper and plastic eating ware, and improvement in the quality and quantity of food available. The fire on September 11 extensively damaged the kitchen and dishwashing areas at the rear of the cafeteria. For the past three months, workers have been steadily rebuilding the back rooms from start to finish. The damage incured by the fire scorched everything "from the floor to the ceiling, and all equipment was lost," said Larry Humes, Director of College Media Relations. The Winter Park Fire Marshall's office and Police Department established that the fire was "intentionally set," but the suspect is not a Rollins student or employee. On a recent tour of the construction areas , Terrebone enthusiasically displayed the progress being made and set a tentative date of completion for January 6, 1992. Her anticipation comes from the fact that Beans will then possess anew kitchen, more ovens, and another dishwasher. Presently, Marriot food service employees have been doing extra duty in trying to deliver a large output of food with so little space to work in. Terrebonne commented that many students hold the impression that cooking facilities were plentiful, but that the simple truth is, "We don't have a kitchen...so everything is premade." There is not even an ice machine As a result, food has been stored in cramped coolers, employees have had to make constant deliveries, and the only warming machines are a couple of microwaves and an oven. In the meantime, many students are expressing their concerns about the use of non-recyclable materials. Johanna Weiss hopes that "the construction will be finished soon so that we can stop creating an immense amount of waste." Others complain about the slow service. Terrebone wishes to thank everyone for being so patient and for understanding the situation. "Students havebeen wonderful," and will be happy to enjoy Beans with its expanded options. Workers will continue the construction throughout the holidays. NEWS STYLE FORUM FOCUS | Resl Movies^ leater, Musi
