University of Virginia Library

Issues Warning

Mr. Williams said
responsibility in these (drug
related) matters rests not just
with the University
administration, but with the
student body, and particularly
with the various branches of
student government."

Mr. Williams warned that
"for those of you for whom
drug usage has become a part
of your life style, and for those
who sell and distribute drugs,
Charlottesville, Albemarle
County, and the University
Grounds will not be the place
for you this year."

Resident Staff Executive
Committee and the Office of
Student Affairs actions to
toughen the stance toward
drug use leaves the University
"in a much better position now
than it was in May," according
to Mr. Rinaca.

"I believe that Judge Berry
was fully prepared to have the
police come onto the Grounds
in a big way if the University,
especially the students, hadn't
taken some positive steps, he
said.

The Resident Staff position
paper cites the faith Judge
Berry has placed on the
students themselves and claims
that "we must act to maintain
this faith."
