These fliers, according to University policy, must be sponsored by an on-campus student group or office. Also, fliers advertising alcoholic beverages in freshman halls are prohibited. Responding to the rash of drunk driving accidents, College Council recently appointed a committee to study ways to improve student safety and increase awareness of the dangers of driving while intoxicated. But College Council President Will Claiborne, who chairs the AdHoc Committee on Alcohol, said while there is a demand for the shuttles, he did not believe it was the best option. He said there are numerous safety concerns to take into consideration including the quality of people driving the buses.
Shuttles tend to increase the amount of alcohol students consume.
Student Concerns Committee Co-Chair Diesel Hamad said the committee has not been considering shuttles to Buckhead but rather focusing its efforts on the surrounding community.
