i Page 4 Lion's Eye January 3, 1980 Anti- “hazing Legislation Sought A New York woman is taking her campaign against fraternity hazing to President Carter in hopes of getting national legislation against dangerous initiation rites. Eileen Stevens, whose son Chuck Stenzel was killed in a fraternity hazing incident in 1978, has sent President Carter a telegram seeking his assistance in her campaign. She ‘has the backing of her con- gressman and of other national leaders, including Sen. Ted Kennedy. Following her son’s death, Mrs. Stevens began a one- woman effort to get state legislation against hazing on the books in New York and elsewhere. Working through CHUCK (Committee to Halt Useless College Killings), she has attracted national attention . as well as support from college administrators and fraternities themselves. Mrs. Stevens’ research shows 18 students have died as the result of fraternity hazings since 1970 and nine of those deaths have occurred since she began her campaign.

After an ap- pearance on a national televi- sion talk show, Mrs. Stevens received 5,000 letters, many of which came from hazing vic- tims. Despite the statistics, hazing deaths are generally considered accidents and little or nothing is done by law enforcement or university officials to punish the fraternity involved, she says. The purpose of legislation would not be punishment, she adds, but deterence. ‘Young people would think twice about hazing if they knew they might go to jail,” Mrs. Stevens says.

The bill passed both houses of the legislation by a wide margin, but was vetoed by the governor on grounds of discrimination. Mrs. Stevens says she will try again in the next legislative session. She stresses the fact that she is not anti-fraternity, but simp- ly against dangerous hazing practices. Her biggest sup- porters in recent months have been national fraternities which are also anxious to end hazing abuses, she says. —National On-Campus Report Ahh Jb Sh Gb Jb Jb gh Sh Jn 4h Jb an Jn an an 4 ‘CLASSIFIEDS | | PERSONALS AMS - Enjoyed the annual Christmas BF.

Teddy’s In The News A replica of the Chappaquiddick bridge may appear on the ice of Lake Mendota in front of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Union this winter. The Wisconsin Student Association, which built a paper mache replica of the Statue of Liberty last year, voted to ‘build a model of the bridge, complete with an upside-down automobile sticking up from beneath the ice. Meanwhile, Senator Edward Kennedy topped the list of propos- ed commencement speakers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Other suggestions, selected by polls and by a com- mittee, were British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young, playwright Lillian Hellman, author Saul Bellow, and former congresswoman Barbara Jordan. Booze News The drinking age was raised from 18 to 19 in New Jersey January 1, making the state the ninth to raise the legal age after having lowered it earlier. Meanwhile, in Michigan, another state which raised its drinking age, a citizen's committee says while alcohol-related accidents in the 18-20 age range are down, fatal ac- cidents among that group are up since the state raised the legal age of consumption from 18 back to 21. Parking Woes Campus parking is considered the top problem at the University of Arizona. Students voting in a referendum called the parking pro- blem the number one issue to be looked into by student governent. Students ‘liberated’ a parking lot next to Berkeley's famous People’s Park to protest the University of California’s proposal to make the lot a paid parking area. The university announced that it scrapped the plans after students took pickaxes to the asphalt lot, planting trees in the parking spaces. Meanwhile, at Northwestern University, the student newpaper discovered that the daughter of a wealthy family which has donated heavily to the university has a faculty parking sticker The sticker allows her to park in lots closer to campus and less crowded than student lots, but the campus public safety depart- ment is now investigating how she obtained the sticker.
