DWI The DWI law has many hard to inter- pret elements and perhaps an easier way to communicate these elements that would be relevant to students is through a series of examples. Pete was stopped on October 10th. 1983 by Officer R. Jones. Officer Jones, unless a road block was used, must be justified by a reason- able and articulable suspicion to stop Pete. Pete was convicted on an impaired driving offense in 1980 which resulted in serious injury to another person. Pete faces a minimum of 14 days in jail and up to two years and a fine up to $2000.00. Mary is charged with DWI and her alcohol concentra- tion was over 0.20 and has no serious traffic offense in the last 5 years. Mary faces a minimum of 72 hours in jail, 72 hours of Community Service or 90 days non-operation or a combination of the three and a fine up to S500.00. Tom is cruising down Highway 49 and is seen by Officer Riley consuming a beer. Officer Riley apprehends Tom and stops him. Tom faces a fine, up to 2 years in jail, or both. Nancy. Henry, and Laurie are three passengers in Dave ' s car. The three are drinking rum daiquiris and are stopped by Officer Smith. Each passenger faces a fine, up to 2 years in jail, or both. Jimmy is on a prescription drug lawfully obtained and taken in prescribed amounts. While driving. Officer Reece notices Jimmy swerving down the road. Officer Reece determines that the drug caused impairment and charges Jimmy with DWI. Jerry, an 18 year old student, attempts to purchase a 6-pack of beer from 7-Eleven. Jerry faces a fine, up to 2 years in jail, or both. Sandy and Sal go out on a date. Sandy does not drink — Sal gets wasted. Officer Workman stops Sal for speeding and charges Sal for DWI and Sandy for accompanying Sal while he is under the influence of an impairing sub- stance. Sandy faces possible license revocation for up to a year, a fine of up to $100.00. an imprisonment for not more than 60 days or any combination thereof. by Sonya K. Wiley gnu

HASSLES Off K|o | College students refer to a hassle as any movement or action restricting for more than two minutes a stu- dent ' s sleeping, studying, eating, or playing. On the UNCC campus, hassles bombard students nearly every day. Some of the more common hassles include: Washing Laundry You get out of the shower Wednesday morning to discover you wore your last clean pair of underwear the day before. You find it necessary to make do somehow until your classes are through for the day. then you rummage through your roommate ' s closet until you find at the very back of the top shelf what appears to be a small amount of laundry detergent Then comes the walk across campus to the Bookstore to trade in a five dollar bill for quarters and dimes- Finally, when all the required paraphernalia is assembled, you find the nearest laundry room — usually hot and always crowded After sitting (bored to death) beside your dirty clothes for 45 minutes, a washer becomes available and you get to begin the actual washing process- Of course, the minute your clothes get out of the washing machine, all the dryers break down- Always By this time disgusted and sleepy, you drag your wet wardrobe back to your residence and begin the gruesome and slow task of drying your jeans, shirts, under- wear, and socks with your hairdryer. Dropping a Class Okay, you just made a 29 on your first Chemistry test, so you decide to drop the class and try your luck again next semester. The lady in the registrars office rattles off a list of official signatures you ' ll need while handing you a DROP card. It sounds easy enough, so you proceed to your advisor ' s office for his valuable approval But. of course, he ' s not in at the moment, so you wait . . . and wait . - - and wait. Finally, the secretary says she thinks he ' s gone for the day [Why didn ' t she say that 20 minutes ago 7 ) After signing up for an appointment with your advisor, you leave, more than a little irritated, and determine to finish your task the following day Twenty-four hours later your trusty advisor signs your DROP card while giving you a disapproving glance over his horn-rimmed glasses. Upon leaving his office, you next approach the depart- ment teaching the course (for another signature). Things go relatively smooth there, so you then head for the registrar ' s office to finally turn the dumb thing in and complete the procedure But wouldn ' t you know it — the registrar ' s office closes at 5:00 and you just missed it by 3 minutes. With a look to the heavens and a few four-letter words, you realize it would ' ve been easier to keep the Chemistry class along with your big 29 average Maybe UNCC officials planned it that way!!???? Getting into Residence Halls After Hours You are walking out of your residence hall at 10:20 p.m. to say good-bye to a visiting friend You say to the security guard at the desk. George. I left my ID in my room, but I ' ll be back in twenty minutes. Well, you really hate short goodbyes and an hour later you walk back into the hall. Trustworthy George is eyeing you suspiciously as you approach the security desk He asks you for your I.D- and you remind him of your earlier conversation, then keep walking confidently- Well, George is in a bad mood, so he asks you for your ID. again (Like he really forgot your face in one hour.) Knowin g that he would persist until he could actually see your ID-, you call your roommate, who was asleep before you called, and ask her to bring your ID. downstairs to verify you are not a psychopathic killer on the loose.
