  • THURSDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1976 fHE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 9 Sorority girl finds heartbreak 1 from Page 8 finding a husband, that's why I'm in a Greek.'' Well. 1 never really gave marriage much thought before then. I'd always figured that I'd meet "Mr. Right" someday, but well, here was a chance to irv and find him. 1 thought. And so, this was in October, 1 pledged n> Delia Phi Kappa-the girls are so nice, they treated unlike I really was a somebody not jusl like 1 was a number. And 1 was actually meeting boys. Nice boys, who'd lake me out lo dinner or to parties. mostly fraternity parties, and walk me to the door and treat me like a lady. Or so I thought. It was December when 1 met Jim. Right before exams Jim was in my math class and he was a senior in the Gamma Alpha Ro's. I'd been lo parties at their house but had only seen Jim there a few times. He was a loner. 1 guessed. He didn't act like some of the other boys I'd met; he didn't seem like the type who drank too much or took drugs-I'd let him take me out the weekend before exams. And I'll regret it for the rest of my life. We went to a party at the Gamma house-there was a lot of beer there and a truck with a loudspeaker system. Jim called it a mobile disco--just like the ones in New York. We danced and drank beer and laughed until really late, and then I don't remember what happended. I guessed that I must have had too much beer, I never drank much before I got to college, and didn't realize it. But the next morning-I'll never forget it, it eats at me every time I think about men or see a magazine like Playboy-sex, that's all men ever want. Now I am going to tell you the truth about where I woke up. In bed, with Jim in some cheap motel. And we were both naked and I hurt a lot. I felt sick. Never in my life had I felt so ashamed of myself. 1 wanted to die. "How will 1 ever find 'Mr. Right' after this?" Mother had always told me to watch out for really handsome men. And Jim was so handsome. Jim k>oked so proud of himself. Smiling and acting like a "big man". All 1 did was hide in the bathroom and cry. 1 hoped 1 wasn't pregnant As it turned out. I was. After a good cry. 1 got dressed and told Jim to take me back to mv dorm. He laughed and looked so smug 1 could have killed him. bill 1 kept the pain biside and he drove me home As soon as I KM back lo mv dorm room I cried the matter.'" she asked. 1 told her the entire story--and then she lold me about the unspoken truth of what kind of girl reallv joins a Greek. So here 1 sit. in the hvingroom of my old -maid aunt in Patterson, Ne» Jersey, regretting it all. regretting mv life and u was all so awful-wishing that 1 could help some other poor girl, keep her from making the same mistake 1 made. I guess thai "Mr. Right" will never want me Berry's Law pertinent iVgal raws by Bryant Berry, Jr. by Bryant Berry, Jr. brought a legal action against Flannery's Depart- -nient Store for slander. Several other customers Robert Warren and Mary, his sister-in-law were witnesses to the incident.

They asked for $80,000 in guard and accused of changing the price tag on damages. Should they win the lawsuit? some store merchandise and of lying. They were Yes. The term "slander" is an oral defamation of stopped by the guard when they approached a character. Actual monetary loss is not always check nut counter. The guard said to Robert, "I required in order to collect damages. If the words saw you change the price tag on the box of dishes used arc of such a nature that they tend to disgrace for another tag which has a lower price." Mary and degrade the person or hold him up to public came to her brother-in-law's defense and denied hatred, contempt, or ridicule, or cause him to be that Robert had done any such thing. The guard shunned and avoided, the courts presume some then said to her, "You are a liar, Ma'am." Robert and Mary were never placed under any kind of formal arrest nor were they ever incarcerated. It was finally proven that no price tags had been changed. The couple suffered no direct monetary loss because of the incident but. nevertheless. damages have been suffered.
