I November 17, 1999, Vol. 64, Issue 11 Cullowhee, USA Father Accuses Fraternity of Hazing University Seeks Information, Witnesses by Jeffrey Sykes Asst. News Editor An 18-year old first semester freshman left the university after allegedly being hazed while he was an associate member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, according to the student's father. Dallas Edward Barnwell, Hendersonville, left school during the early hours of October 29. "He came in and was crying about something that happened at a party," said a student who lived next to him in Walker Residence Hall. According to the student's father Don Barnwell, fraternity members "poured liquor down him and made him sit in a creek. He left school because of what these people did to him. He told me he couldn't go back, that it would be too hard." Barnwell also alledges that four Lambda Chi Alpha members have called him at his residence repeatedly demanding that his son return two pledge books. "They said if we didn't return the books there would be repercussions," Barnwell said. "The four boys have threatened me. They can't intimidate me." A student and hometown friend of Dallas Barnwell said he began to visibly deteriorate soon after he became associated with Lambda Chi Alpha. "He was pledging and the brothers were asking him to do stuff his body couldn't handle, like consuming more alchohol than a normal person should," the student said. The source explained that Dallas was made to stay up very late and thus not get enough rest for school. Lambda Chi Alpha house, across from the Tuckaseigee River. "He had been talking to me about how it was affecting his grades," the student said. "They would call him at three or four in the morning to come get drunk and he would come to class still drunk. He would have to get up and get sick during class." The same student source stated that on the night of October 28, "[Dallas] got really drunk and got in a fight with someone , and couldn't take care of himself. One of the brothers egged him on to fight someone and he couldn't take care of himself Don Barnwell stated that he is in receipt of a letter from his son's Academic Learning Community advisor, Professor Jennie Hunter of Business and Com- puter Information Systems. According to Barnwell, Hunter discouraged his son from associating himself with Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity during his first semester in college. Barnwell also said Chancellor Bardo called him on October 30. "He knew that something went on," Barnwell said. "He was apologetic and wondering what went on." Vice chancellor of Student Affairs Bob Caruso, who is also a member of Dallas Barnwell's Learning Community, has been in contact with Barnwell on repeated occasions. Don Barnwell said his son wanted to major in International Business. "Everything was fine until two weeks ago," he said. "I believe whatever went on there is against my ethics. I am going to sue the fraternity. Money ain't the point. I don't want this to happen to another child." "He left school because of what these people did to him. He told me he couldn't go back, that it would be too hard." -Don Barnwell Student's Father Asheville attorney Steve Cogburn, consulted by Barnwell to handle any possible lawsuit, stated "There is no rush to file a lawsuit. There is no rush to judgment, but these people need to be dealt with." Barnwell said his son was "happy until he pledged." Dallas Barnwell's friend agrees, "He was going to class and doing good before he started pledging." Chapter adviser Larry Ford, an attorney from Hayesville, photo by Seth R. Sams stated that Dallas "may have some severe problems that involve alcohol and possible substance abuse that apparently has nothing to do with the fraternity. The fraternity is apparently being used as a smoke screen to cover up personal problems." Ford provided the Western Carolinian with the names and phone numbers of four associate members of Lambda Chi Alpha whom he said might have additional information on the alleged incident. The Western Carolinian was able to contact one of those associate members. Lambda Chi Alpha associate member John Sellers said he was the designated driver on October 28, and that he gave Dallas a ride home from the Lambda Chi Alpha house. "He was having fun," Sellers said. "I don't really remember if I saw him drinking, but yeah, he was intoxicated." "When I gave Dallas a ride home he was drunk. He didn't just have a buzz on, he was trashed," Sellers said. Sellers said he had not been hazed or seen any hazing while being an associate of Lambda Chi 'INVESTIGATION' Continued on page 2 State Statutes Prohibit Such Acts by Jeffrey Sykes Asst. News Editor Recent allegations of hazing against Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity have brought this issue back to the forefront of discussion throughout the university. Hazing is illegal. North Carolina General Statute 14-25 states "It shall be unlawful for any student in any college or school in the state to engage in what is known as hazing, or to aid or abet any other student in the commission of this offense. For the purpose of this section, hazing is defined as follows: to annoy any student by playing abusive or ridiculous tricks upon him, to frighten, scold, beat, or harass him, or to subject him to personal indignity." North Carolina General Statute 14-36, which outlines penalties for violating the hazing law, states: "Expulsion from school, duty of faculty to expel — Upon conviction of any student of the offense of hazing, or of aiding or abetting in the commission of this offense, he shall, in addition to any punishment imposed by the court, be expelled by the college or school he is attending. The faculty or governing board charged with the duty of expulsion of students for proper cause shall, upon such conviction, at once expel the offender, and a failure to do so shall be a misdemeanor." "Without the state law we would take it very seriously anyway," said associate vice chancellor for Student Affairs Bill Haggard.
