Last Saturday, officers from
Police and Safety investigated a
report from a staff member that
two students were assisting
another student who was
intoxicated. Officers found the
student lying on the road. He was
unable to stand without
assistance.
The student was taken to the
Department of Police and Safety
for identification purposes and it
was determined that he may need
medical attention because of his
extreme state of intoxication.
The student was identified,
cited for underage drinking and
released to a resident assistant

bathroom floor of the Police and
Safety office. No further medical

On the topic of American
involvement in the Iraq crisis,
Carlucci said, "We need to keep

said that although the
effectiveness of sanctions has a

community cannot back off
before they give those sanctions
a chance to work.

Colleges starting to place less
emphasis on SAT scores
(CPS) In the movie "How I
Got into College," the
protagonist tries to make up for
his poor Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) scores by sending the
college he wants to attend a
humorous videotape of himself.
Now Lewis and Clark
College in Oregon says it will
turn fiction to reality.
In late September, campus
officials said that, starting next
school year, they will let students
apply by submitting a "portfolio"
of original work along with high
school transcripts. Students that
try it won't have to send their
SAT or American College
Testing (ACT) scores.
The idea, said Peter Brown,
Lewis and Clark's dean of
admissions, will attract "a bright
student who is highly motivated
but doesn't want to be
categorized" by a SAT score.

This Monday an officer from
Police and Safety was called to
Niagara Hall for 'an alcohol

A resident assistant had

from one of the rooms and found

people in the room had beer in

It was determined that the
occupants of the room were not

who were drinking were 21 years

Stolen Property
Recovered
This Sunday while on patrol
an officer from Police and Safety
noticed a Penn Dot weight limit
sign hanging in a residence hall
window. The coordinator on duty
along with the officer went to the
room to retrieve the sign.
Once inside the room they
found another street sign which
was determined to be the property
of Titusville, PA. The signs were
confiscated and arrangements were

U.S. forces being welcome in

Moslem holy days next June.
During his speech Carlucci
said that if there is a
confrontation with Iraq, it is
unrealistic to think that U.S.
forces can come out of it
unscathed simply by using its
air superiority.
On the decision about how
much force the U.S. and its
allies should use, Carlucci said
it would be wrong to let our

them fight to their fullest
extent, and feels "a moral war is

College reformers often claim
the SAT in particular does not
reveal much more about test
takers than how well they have
mastered accurate guessing.
The test, critics add, does not
accurately forecast how well
female high school seniors will
do in college.
"The SAT," Brown
maintained, "has become a
symbol of the statistical approach
to college admissions."
Mindful of the criticism and
the defections, trustees of the
College Board, the organization
that oversees the SAT, are
pondering changes to make the
test less "statistical."
