  • Western Carolinian July 13.1995 News Andrews Trial Postponed Campus DWI's on the Decline by Gary Leigh StaffReporter The trial of Christopher Andrews has been continued until July 31, 1995. Andrews, 20, allegedly had sexual intercourse with a 12-year-old female in his dorm room at Western Carolina University. Andrews was indicted on April 24 and was scheduled to appear in court on May 16. Andrews will remain in the Jackson County Jail until his trial date, unless bond is posted. Attorney Raymond Large, of Hunter & Large in Sylva, is representing Andrews on the charge of first, degree statutory rape. by Cliff Meeks StaffReporter Between 1990 and 1994, there were 68 DWI arrests at Western Carolina University. According to Gene McAbee, Director of Public Safety, the DWI cases have shown a dramatic decrease. Gene McAbee attributes the decline of DWI's to the different alcohol awareness programs on campus. He also feels that students are beginning to understand the seriousness of DWI's and are utilizing designated drivers more than ever. If an individual is charged with driving under the influence on campus, they are taken to Sylva, where they are given a breathalyzer test conducted by the Sylva police department. If an individual blows a 0.8 or higher, they will be arrested for a DWI. The costs of a DWI are astronomical. One can expect to pay a large amount of money depending on how he wants to handle the case. The fee for someone who admits his guilt would be much cheaper than that of an individual who would want to take . his case to a jury. Contrary to popular belief, the Public Safety department receives no money from a DWI arrest. The people who reap the benefits of a DWI are lawyers and insurance companies. "Checkpoints are a possibility early in the Fall semester," said McAbee in an interview conducted on Wednesday. Law enforcement agencies from the area will be helping the campus police conduct these checkpoints. The State Police will be giving the intoxilyzer tests and the Sheriffs department will supply drug dogs. Last year, half of the DWI arrests were made at these checkpoints. So if anyone chooses to drive under the influence, he will be taking a huge gamble not only tor his own safety and the safety of others but also the risk of receiving a DWI. On a Personal Note: I have gone through the system. After all the costs were paid, [figured out how much my beer was the night I was arrested. The total came to about $350 a beer. And I was not even drinking imported beer! PAPA'S FRESH BAKED PIZZA TO-CO Two Large Cheesy Pizzas Covered with DOUBLE Pepperoni $ 10.SS. Extra items and extra cheese available al additional cost.

ALPHA PLASMA 167 Merrimon Avenue Asheville, NC 252-9967 Open: Monday-Thursday 10:00 to 5:30 Friday and Saturday 9:30 to 3:30 for new donors The Second Amendment Rides Again (but not on campus) by Kevin McPherson StaffReporter On July 6, the N.C. House of Representatives passed landmark legislation allowing law abiding citizens of the state to acquire permits to carry concealed handguns. With a 90-18 final vote that was spearheaded by Craven County Republican John Nichols, the legislature opened a door that had been tightly sealed since the Reconstruction Era. Beginning in December, the sheriff's departments of North Carolina's 100 counties will be required to issue concealed carry permits to 21 year-old U.S. citizens who meet the requirements of the new law. Not only will local law enforcement have to conduct extensive background checks to issue the permits, they will also have to continue similar research called for by the federal Brady law for individuals to purchase a handgun. Although the law would allow perm" holders to carry a handgun anywhere except specific places such as courthouses, schoo ' or establishments that sell alcohol, the fina version leaves it up to individuals and businesses to restrict handgun carry by properly posting signs to that effect. Furthermore, the law also makes it neces for a gun carrying permit holder to anno the presence of a concealed firearm whe or she is approached by a law enforceme officer for any reason. s As with any issue that pertains to g and violence, there are very few North Carolinians sitting on the fence when i comes to being able to tote a shooting i ^ under wraps. The anti-gun lobby m N° Carolina, as well as state law enforce"" £ unconditionally oppose the new law, flip side exposes a victory for the pro- ^ gunners who are in a constant battle a fire lit under the second amendmen • On a local level, Western Carotin ^ University's Department of Public W made it clear that such controversy ^ legislation will not supersede the la ^ prohibits the possession of a firear^nt campus property or at a campus eye • Public Safety also made it clear that ^ student met the state's criteria, he o ^ could go through the process and o^ ^ permit just like anyone else; howe • ^ student still could not exercise the rig carry or store a firearm on campus-
