In agreement with the tared principles of the General As emblies
of the Presbyterian Church the College urges its students to adopt
a standard of abstinence from alcoholic beverages while they are a
part of its academic community. Intoxication or disorderly co11d11ct
is suff1c1ent carue for inz11zed1t1te s11spension or dtS111isral. The tudent
Congress and its subsidiary organizations are vested with the authority
to establisl1 specific regulations go\ erning student social life under the
ge11eral supervision of the Fact1lty.
The use of alcoholic beverages in any public place or at campuswide social functions is prohibited. A ' campus-wide social function"
is defined as one to whicl1 students generally are invited.
No fraternity or other group may provide alcoholic beverages
for its members or gue ts.
No • alcoholic beverage containers may be publicly displayed
at any time.
Many questions have been posed in ref ere nee to the General
Regulations Governing Alcoh lie Beverages as stated above. The
Student Congress deemed it proper t interpret these re ulation
prior to putting them into effect. The f Ilow1ng i a sene f def 1n1ti ons and interpretations of prominent que t1on , to be u ed in clarifying the regulati ns.
A. A Pt1blic Place

A pt1blic place is defined in c mmon law as

"A place to which the general public has a right to
resort; not nece arily a place d voted to the t1ses of
the public, but a place which i in point of fact publi

24

Centre Coll ue

�rather than private, a place visited by many persons
and usually accessible to the neighboring public.,,
Examples of this on the Centre College campus are Sutcliffe
Hall, d1n1ng halls, public pares of che dormitories, classrooms, and office buildings, and all grounds of the college
including parking lots. Specific examples off campus are
all areas of Herrington Lake open to the general public, and
all commercial establishments in Boyle County and elseVvhere. This list is by no means intended to be all-inclusive,
but is merely to be used as a guide.

B.

A Campus-Wide Social Function
A college social function or campus-wide party is understood
to mean a gathering to which all students are invited. Use
of alcoholic beverages at any campus-wide function, be it
social or otherwise, as well as at any public place, is
specifically proh1 bi red.

C.

The Centre College Community

Community as long as he is registered at Centre. As a

to the College and the Student Judic1ary for his conduct
1
during the academic year. An1 misconduct by the student
which adversely reflects on himself or the College at any
time during the academic year is considered sufficient cause
for reprimand or dismissal.

•

Each resident student is required co li"Te in college hot1sing and
co take his meals in the college dining hall.
DORMITORY COUNCIL

The dormitory councils are composed of the resident counselor
the resident assistants, and elected representatives from each floor.
The purpose of these committees is t o establish the special regulations
that may be desirable for the dormitory, to hear complaints of dormitory occupants, to enforce by appropriate means the hall regulation ,
and to refer serious cases of disorderly conduct to the dean of men.
DOR1fITORY RESIDE T A D RF IDE T A SISTA1 T

The dean of men li\ es 1n Breckinridge Hall and has direct charge
of all men's dormitories. W orking under him is a student resident
assistant on each floor of the dormitories
The chief function of the dean of men and his resident assistants
is to aid residents of the dormitories in de, eloping and maintaining
good stud,1 habits and in using their time wisely and effectively. In
order to make ic p ossible to study effectively in the dormitories quiet
hours will be obser,,ed in and around each dormitory betv.'een 7: 00
p.m and 7: 00 am unday through Friday.
1

Reasonable consideration for one's fellow students suggests that
radios and record players shot1ld be played so as not co disturb others,
that doors should always be closed when radios and record players
are in use or when a "bull-session" is in progress. Qt1iet hours apply
particularly co halls and sta1rv.rays, ,,,hich readily transmit disturbing
noises. Each st11dent has a direct i11terest and resp o1zsibility in seeing

that the quiet hours are observed.

KEY

AJ. D DAMAGE DEPOSIT

Male dormitory residents are required to pay a $25.00 key and
damage deposit at the opening of the college year. These deposits
are to be paid to the dean of men at registration. At the end of each
academic }"ear, assuming the return of student keys and no room damage, the entire 25.00 will be refunded. If damage to a room or building exceeds the amount of the deposit, the di£ference will be charged
to the student.
PEP OJ. TAL CARE OF L1,rrNG Qt"ARTER
.

When living in a community, it is necessary that all inhabitants
observe good habits of personal health and orderliness, both in their
0'\\ n rooms and elsewhere in the dormitory. Since the janitor and
maids cannot be on duty twenty-four hours a day, each resident is
responsible for keeping his ovln room clean and orderly.
There may be a weekly examination of rooms by the resident
assistants and the dean of men. Where improvements are needed ,
this will be reported to the occupants. If the indicated impro,,ement
is not made the persons responsible will be subject to such penalties
as the dormitory council considers appropriate.
1

PERSONAL HEAI..TfI

If a student feels ill, he should check

at once with the college nurse

or a ph}'Sician for examination and treatment. By failing to report his
illness, the student may be responsible for ill health among ocher residents of the dormitory. A student wl10 is sent to the ir1fumary or
hospital should notify the r esident assistant on his floor or the dean
of men.

No change may be made in room assignments in dormitories

SALESMEN WITHIN THE DOR1fITORIE

In computing the scholastic averages of the fraternities, all grades

�at the time of their registration for a semester 's v.'ork or who are
initiated during the course of the semester will be taken into account.
This is true regardless of whether or not the student is in residence
at the end of the semester.
The practice has grown up of permitting fraternities to be relieved
of responsibility for the grades of pledges who are dropped b;l' the
fraternit}' or who resign their pledgeship. There is no objection to
this practice, provided the registrar receives appropriate notice on or
before the deadline prescribed by the Incerfraternit)' Council. The
grades of all other persons who were pledges of the fraternity at any
time during the semester will be taken into account.

FRATERNITY BILLS
Upon the request of a fraternity to rl1e dean f the college, at lea t
one week be£ore the beginning of the examination period, the college
will exclude from final examinations an:}' member or pledge v. ho
owes a bill to that fraternity.

YOU'LL LII&lt;E OUR HONOR SYSTEM
The women students of Centre College live under an Honor
System. The system is fundamentally a way of life in which students
make a contract with each ocher to maintain an atmosphere of honesty
and frankness. As such, an Honor System cannot be a set of rules
or an inflexible code of behavior. What is expected is simply for every
student -in all her relationships, in all her activities, to preserve her
own and ochers' personal integrity. The machinery of the Honor
System can function only if students are themselves willing to comply
~T this condition. Once a student is enrolled at Centre College,
ith
it is not a matter of choice for her to live in accordance \\ 1th tl1e principles of the H onor System. Students should be aware of its demands
and privileges before entering Centre.

HERE'S THE WAY IT WORKS
THE HONOR CODE COMMITTEE

The H onor Code Committee is composed of seven students and
a chairman who is elected by the srud~nt body. As it is a standing
committee of the Women's tt1dent Council, tl1e members are appointed by the Student Council.
The principal duty of the Honor Code Committee is to inform
students and faculty what is expected of chem in upholding the
Honor S,rstem. At tl1e first of each year members of the committee
~rill be sure that tl1e rules of the S}'Stem are clearly t1nderstood.
Karen Keffer 1s chairman of tl1e H onor ode omrn1ttee, and it 1
her respons1b1l1ty to call the meetings of the committee whenever
necessary. The chairman als represent the H onor ode Committee
on the Student Council. Tl1e follo~ 1ng vlor11en are member of rl1e
com mi tree for 1961-62.

Love profound and praises free.

God unseals our blinded eyes.
Where thy tree-lined pathways lure
Fr1endsh1ps spring eternal sure.
