members are no longer directly
obligated to regulate the con
sumption of alcohol of those at
tending.
Meriwether said the change
has not affected fraternity’s abil
ity to have a good time.
“It was the safe, responsible
thing to do,” Meriwether said. “It
wasn’t even hurting our social
functions. We’re still having a
great time. ”
Meriwether said although
there is still opposition to the
idea of “going-dry” in some fra
ternities, Phi Delta Theta is not
the only fraternity headed for
mandatory regulation. He said
the Sigma Nu national council al
ready made the resolution to be
come alcohol free, but the chap
ter has not “gone dry” yet.
He said they have until next
year to become an alcohol-free
house.
Blackwell said more fraterni
ties will become alcohol-free in
the future.
“I think we’re probably going
to see more fraternities at the in
ternational level make the deci
sion to be alcohol-free,” he said.
“The Phi Delta Theta chapter and
other chapters that take on this
style of living beforehand are go
ing to be in a much better posi
tion to see it work.”
Fitzwater said he began a rela
tionship with Mikhail Gorbachev,
one-time president of the former So
viet Union, through summit meet
ings in 1987.
“I believe Gorbachev is one of the
greatest and most courageous lead
ers of all time,” he said.
He said it is impossible to com
prehend the impact Gorbachev had
on the Soviet Union when he de
nounced communism.
He said the way the media is dig
ging to find out about presidential
candidate George W. Bush’s past is
to be expected.
“We can’t expect the media to not
ask questions and we can’t censor
the media’s questions, but you can
censor how you answer the ques
tions,” he said.
“In 1992, [when President Clinton
was elected] the American people
said they don’t care about infidelities;
they only care if he’s a good leader. ”
Fitzwater said new technology,
such as satellites and computers,
have changed journalism by intro
ducing the 24-hour new.v!
“This was seen in thecL,
the Gull War, some in the ^ batti
son case and in the
sky situation,” he said.
Fitzwater said
editing, live television anil
competitive pressure ai|
nalists. He said it ret
amount of oversight andi!
of journalism diminishes
“A live camera can'i
facts,” he said. “Thereis
ing process at all. Area!
source can out-wit medial
nipulate them.”
