Over the summer a law went into effectin Rhode Island which has shown its im­pact as early as the first weekend of theRoger Williams school year . The drinkingage was raised from 20 to 21, which is caus­ing problems for students, the adrninistra­tion, and liquor and beer distributors in thearea.

The Rathskellar, affectionately dubbed"The Rat." being the only bar on campus.is feeling the pressure accompanied by theage hike . It remains to be seen exactly howstrict The Rat will be on its .underagec1ientel in view of the age hike and its com­plications.

Some underclassmen are outraged. onesaid "I've been abartender for over a yearin New York and in this state I can't evenbuy a beer . I'm having trouble adjusting tothat."

Other students are adjusting well, onesaid "It's just another obstacle to hurdle. Ihave my older friends help me out. theyalways do."

What many people fail to understand isthe liability envoloved when they buyalcohol for people under 21. There is aminimum fine of $250 for the first offenseof this nature.

By Anne B. WagnerAccreditation places a stamp of approval

upon a school, assuring the educationalcommunity and the public that a schoolmeets certain standards of effectiveness,performance. and stability. It signifies thata college is delivering what it promises.

Accreditation is essentially a peer review.RWC is a member of the New EnglandAssociation of Schools and Colleges(NEASG. a regional, voluntary organiza­tion of educators. It has established stan­dards and procedures for measuringmember schools against those standards atregular intervals.

The process begins with a thorough self­study by the institution seeking accredita­tion . The school measures itself againstNEASC standards and identifies its ownstrengths and weaknesses in a writtenreport.

Next, a team from NEASC visits theschool and conducts its own study. Then,the team's report and the institution'sreport are forwarded to a review committee .which either accredits the school or refusesto accredit the school. Accreditation is apass/no pass situation; there is no gradingor ranking.

tional, family, and personal problems.There are. however, occasions when some­one needs a bit of reassurance, and goes tothe Peer Counselor for this. Confidenceand sincerity is what they try to show whentalking to people. Many students just cometo their Peer Counselor to talk as friends,they know they can be assured of honestfriendliness and a true listener.

The PC's are students who have gonethrough a lot of what many new studentsare going through, such as freshmen jittersand other school troubles.

Before becoming a Peer Counselor. oneis required to attend a training programwhich allows the person to learn. andbecome familiar with types of difficultiesthat could arise. Also. a meeting is heldeach week for the counselor to attend. Atthese meetings, the Counseling Centerchecks each PC to make sure they are keep­ing in touch with their new friends. ThePC's are asked to keep records of theirfriends, so that they can keep up to datewith the way the person is progressing, orin some cases, regressing.

Available to all students by phone or byvisit, the Counselors welcome freshmen, aswell as other RWC students. with a warm,friendly atitude. They are always willing tolend an ear to anyone who needs to talk.The counselors are not advice givers. theyare just there to be a friend and give strongsupport where and when needed.

Workshops have and will be sponsoredby the Peer Counseling Service to help in­dividuals in several ways such as succeedingin troubled areas. to help freshmen feel alittle less uptight or lonely, as many do atfirst. They have also set up tutoring ser­vices to help others in weak areas .

The Peer Counselors have helpedthousands of students through serious and­not so-serious times in life. A student'srelief from a problem is no more than aphone call away. PC's phone numbers are

Another important policy includes nounderaged drinking. Additionally, alcoholconsumption must be restricted to the closedarea of the party; public drinking is pro­hibited. Finally, party regulations do notallow beer balls. kegs, or grain alcohol.

A complete list of party regulations canbe obtained from the Student Life Office.The S.L.O. will also direct any questionsstudents might have. Remember theseregulations are not designed to prohibit agood time and that the S.L.O. strongly en­courages that we do .

been instrumental in extracting grants toease economical barriers that have slowedthe progress on the building'sconstruction.' The " Ocean State CharityTrust" and the "Rhode Island Founda­tion" have both contributed to the effortsof the barn in-the form of grants .

The original building was shipped fromEast Glocester, Rhode Island for itsreconstruction at RWC. Every piece of thebarn has been numbered so that the newbuilding will be assembled to be a replica ofthe old. Jordan compares it to "a jigsawpuzzle with the pieces" rather than startingto build from scratch .

The new Performing Arts Center is ex­pected to be open by next fall. The buildingwill house a place for dance, a moveablestage for theater in the round, a 36 footpeaked ceiling for versatile lighting and ac­cessibility to the handicapped.

Since Jordan took his first class to thesite of the barn in East Glocester, RhodeIsland in the spring of 1983, he is "glad tosee it finally happen".

barnraising to be held at the RWC TheatreArts Barn reconstruction site on Sunday,October 21.

According to coordinator Kevin Jordan,the event will celebrate the rebuilding of thebarn with activities including hayrides, afiddler and workshops on the use of oldtools .

Since Jordan wishes to commemorateOctober 21 as being "the day the barnstops being a barn and begins being a per­forming arts center", he is inviting collegestudents. faculty and administrators plusthe Bristol town residents to the event.

Jordan originally proposed the idea ofreconstructing a building, to accommodatea larger theatre, over six years ago. Jordannotes that before he could build the struc­ture he "had to have the cost estimates ap­proved by RWC President William Rizziniand the Board of Trustees .' Other ap­provals were needed from the Bristol Zon­ing Board. the Rhode Island Fire Marshalland many other town committees. .

"Although RWC has had to buy somelabor and materials, much of the effortsput into raising the structure have beenfrom volunteers. Neighboring companieshave donated cranes, labor and other ser­vices," Jordan claims. "The drafts of thebarn have been done mostly by students. Incontractor, Steve Tyson, and the architect,Lombard Pozzi are both students."

By Pam BlaisRoger Williams College, through the

help of Rita Spero and her staff, bas beenusing the campus facilities to raise moneyand lower tuition costs .

Organizations such as the " Girl' sState", an elite group of females from allover the sta te o f Rhod e Island , stayed herelast summer for a six day conference. Dur­ing those six days, the members of thegroup used the lecture halls for discussions,the ca feteria for presentat ions and the dor­mitories for housing.

The usual organization pays twent ydollars a night for a single room andtwenty-five dollars a night for .a doubleroom. The group pays additional fees forusing the lecture halls, the cafeteria andother facilities.

Groups such as " Girl 's Sta te" need qu ietfacilities which can sup ply materials neededto hold a conference. RWC fills thoseneeds by rentin g out its resou rces. Thus,the conferences are a success.

RWC has had over 50 conferences in thelast year and has car ried on this traditionfor many more years . Man y groups, suchas the "Ocean State" Organization onalcoholism, have retu rned for the past sixyears.

" The value of this program is that itspreads the college name", notes Spero.Indeed, these conferences have drawn suchfamous people as Stephen King, who washere four years ago for a panel discussioncalled "Writers". During the discussion,authors spoke on their writing while artistsdisplayed their work in the ClassroomBuilding .

Thirty-five members of the " Cham­pions' Choice" baton twirling club weretraining for the International Trials thissummer. The baton twirlers were instructedby World Champion twirler YolandiCast elanas and eight times National GrandChampion and one time World Cham pionGlen Bittenkinder.

Since RWC is such a small schoo l, onemay wonder how such prestigious peoplefind our college. Rita Spero has a Jist of11,000 names of companies who frequentlyhold conferences and her department hassent them pictures and literature aboutRWC.

Most of the organizations make a followup conference for the next year. " Theylove the facilities, the people , the staff",states Spero. Profits from the conferencesare expanding becau se RWC is makingitself known. As Spero suggests, " w ord ofmouth is a great way to do business" .

Bethlehem, NH - Ted Lochner ofSpenc erport, New York, explains to LaurieMoon Chauvin of the National Trust forHistori c Preservation about his duties as aYankee Magazine Inte rn at the RocksEstate in Bethlehem where he was workingfor twelve weeks this summer.

The Historic Preservation major fromRoger Williams College in Bristol, RhodeIsland. was assigned to help in preservingpart of the estate for the Society for thePreservation of New Hampshire Forests,whose headquarters are in Concord. NewHampshire, and who use this property astheir base of operation for the northern.part of the state. Lochner was one of 35 in­tern s associated with non-profit organiza­tion s throughout New England , a program,for college students to help save our built .environment formulated through a part­nership between the National Trust andYankee Publishing Inc of Dublin , NewHampshire .

"THe girls are hardworking, dedicatedand talented," said Dearing, "and all areworking for the same goal, district cham­pions." They pride themselves in how farthey've come in a short time.

On October 27, Roger Williams'Woman's Volleyball team will host theNAJA District Championship. Eight teamsfrom New England will compete and thewinner has a chance for the NationalChampionship. Dearing said, "he is look­ing forward to ~ good season."

RWC staff he was the Assistant to theAthletic Director. He and Tom Drennan,then Athletic Director, shared responsibil­ity over the sports department. Many newprograms began forming said Massa."There were never any objections to theprograms I started." According to Massa,it's not the prospective athlete's previousrecord or credentials but the interest theyshow in the specific sport . "There's a cer­tain sense of caring which all the atheletesshow."

Due to all the cooperation shown by thestudent and faculty, the sports program hasbenefited not only from the increasingnumber of varsity sports, but also by thebrand new recreation building.

As the Atheletic Director at RWC.Massa's job includes supervising his staff,seeing that the building is run properly andhelping students. As Massa said, "Whenyour getting paid for a job you love to do ,it stops being a job." He also added, "If Ican't help someone it really hurts me."

"Woman's volleyball is one of the fewnew sports to be introduced in the last fewyears that has been significant in increasingthe success of Roger Williams' CollegeWoman's athletic program," according toCoach Joel Dearing.

One girl had team experience when thevarsity program began in 1981. Theirseason ended with 1 win and 14 loses butthat did not shatter team enthusiasm .

The next year Dearing recruited two set­ters, Sharon Castelli, a freshman, and Deb­bie Geiser. a junior. They helped the teamto a 3 win and 11 loss season.

By 1983, the team had two years ex­perience and brought themselves to thirdplace in the division. According to CoachDearing, "the team beginning this year isplaying at the level they ended with lastyear."

Womens VolleyballBuilds Towards Victory

By StevensWhen RWC was first opened in 1969,

the school started with only 4 varsitysports. Now in 1984there is an overwhelm­ing 14. In 15 years many new sports havebeen added to the-roster of varsity sportsavailable at the college.

In 1972, when now Athletic DirectorHector Messa was added to the staff, hemade many changes in the then current in­tramural sports program. "Due to en­thusiasm and cooperation from faculty andstudents , our sports 'program is what it istoday ."

Many of the varsity teams have gone tothe Nationals including basketball, hockey,cross country and tennis. AlI·of these teamswere derived from the previous intramuralteams. Massa also noted that althoughsports and education do go hand and handthat a great deal of emphasis is placed onacademics.
