Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, January 20, 1972 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Liquor policy change asked “Instead of staying up all night to study at the end of the semester, why don’t we stay up all night and study at the first of the semester?” Editor: It is time for the University to seriously examine its liquor poli cies. Schools such as the Uni versity of Houston, Rice Univer sity, St. Thomas University and Our Lady of the Lake University have already relaxed their drink ing policies. The University of Houston be came the first state school in Texas to allow the consumption and sale of liquor on campus. Their policy is stated as follows: 1) Alcoholic beverages can be consumed on campus as long as persons are not in violation of state laws. 2) Beer can be sold only in the University Center, again under state laws. 3) The University will take no responsibility for those people violating state laws. This policy was approved at the University of Houston after weeks of deliberation. The strongest ar gument used for the policy was that no person should be abridged of his rights or responsibilities under state laws just because he is a student at a college or uni versity. University life is supposed to educate a person intellectually and also help a student become a more responsible person. Why can’t a student learn the respon sibilities that go along with drink ing while still in college. I am not suggesting that the University of Houston’s policy is perfect but I do believe that when a major University changes their policies completely, then it is time to at least investigate and ques tion our own. The Student Senate has con ducted extensive research into our liquor policies and into the poli cies of other schools.

John Love leaves Thursday for the Winter Olympic Games in Sap poro, Japan, knowing the Olym pic torch will be passed to his state in 1976—and also knowing there is potentially enough op position to the games to extin guish the flame. Representatives of the Denver Olympic Committee, a group which successfully bid for the games at a meeting in Amster dam two years ago, will follow Love to Sapporo. They will meet with the International Olympic Committee to report progress in planning, site selection, environ mental research and the financial outlook for the games. They are confident the Olym pics will be a success in Colora do, despite the opposition. Finally, Citizens for Colorado’s Future, a recently-Wgaifized but tightly-knit opposition group, plans, tentatively, to send its own delegation to Sapporo to try to convince the IOC the games aren’t wanted in Colorado. They have written Avery Brundage, chairman of the IOC, seeking a meeting to express their views, but the letter, sent Jan. 13, hasn’t been answered, a CCF spokesman said. Thus the meeting at Sapporo may be a confrontation which has been in the making for sev eral years. Or, if opponents don’t show up, it may mean the last formidable move to keep the games out of Colorado has failed. The movement started, in ef fect, after the official designa tion of Denver as the host city at a May 12, 1970, meeting of the IOC at Amsterdam. Shortly after that, when the community of Evergreen, Colo., learned it was to be the site of jumping, cross country and biathlon events, the antigames movement started gaining widespread attention. Opponents noted that Ever green, about 20 miles west of Denver, seldom has sufficient snow for such events and that snow might have to be created artificially—or even trucked in. Organizers, after several stormy hearings, backed off Ev ergreen as a site. Opponents then gathered sup port in the legislature. Rep. Bob Jackson of Pueblo predicted the games would accelerate out-of- control growth — something al ready under way in Colorado. He predicted damage, environmental ly, no matter where the sites for the individual events are located. And finally, he foresaw large amounts of taxpayers’ money be ing spent for the games—money which could be used for higher priority needs, such as education and mass transportation. Those are the arguments of the Citizens for Colorado’s Future will present—if they win a hear ing before the IOC at Sapporo. Jackson and Rep. Richard Lamm of Denver proposed a bill in the 1971 Colorado Legislature which would have prohibited the spending of any more state funds for the games. Minority Democrats generally followed the lead of the two in opposing the games, while Repub licans, under the leadership of Love and Lt. Gov. John Vander- hoof, reflected support of the games. Prodded into action, the law makers passed a bill receiving bipartisan support; a bill creat ing a State Olympic Committee which would monitor expenses, examine planning and approve contracts involving state money. But there is no law on the books that prohibits more spend ing of state money—something Republicans and Democrats alike fear might get out of hand. So far, Colorado has spent $1.1 million on the games. "For that $1.1 million, the Den ver Olympic Committee has only one thing,” Jackson says. “That’s permission to host the games. There’s been nothing spent for sites, housing or transportation.” He says the IOC has estimated future costs for Colorado’s par ticipation may be $10 to $20 mil- Art dealer charters two jets for Trans-Atlantic birthday NEW YORK OP) — Millionaire art dealer who owns galleries in them!” art dealer Reese Palley is cele- Atlantic City, N.J., San Francisco Pan Am declined to say how brating his 50th birthday by and New York. much the jets were costing Pal- whisking 735 friends and custom- “j don’t do anything that Ie y> but travel experts said char- ers across the Atlantic in two doesn’t pay,” he went on. “It will tering a 747 would run about chartered jumbo jets for a four- certainly obviously pay for itself $62,000. day weekend of dining, wining j n publicity alone, though that Palley, who said he began his and museum-browsing in Paris. wasn’t the intention.” business in Atlantic City in 1957 “This has gone way beyond Referring to the logistic diffi- a on an insur- what we expected,” Palley said culties of shepherding so many pobcy .’ a ^ aec * P an before leaving Wednesday.

Assistant Sports Editor Bill Henry lion, but adds, “We feel it is un realistic to assume Colorado can get by for that amount when ex penditures at other game sites have exceeded that 10 or 20 times.” Love is noncommittal about his role at Sapporo. He says he’ll act as the state’s official representa tive and when he leaves Japan, Vanderhoof will arrive to act in the same capacity. Love, an avid skier and out- doorsman, has supported Denver as the host city for the 1976 games from the very beginning and he traveled to Amsterdam two years ago when the organ izing group submitted its bid. He thinks much of the information issued by opponents is, in fact, “misinformation,” and their moti vation is political. Carl DeTemple, general secre tary for the Denver Olympic Com mittee, will not say specifically what the Denver group will say to the international body at its meeting Feb. 1. But he says his group is the only delegation “of ficially recognized” by the IOC, and the U.S. Olympic Committee, and he “will be surprised, and dismayed,” if the opposition group is given a hearing. 1515. You elected your Senate, so make it work for you. Terry Brown Freshman Class President '75 As you say, the Senate has in vestigated and questioned the having of liquor on campus. The matter has been brought before President Williams and met with his disapproval. The University of Houston is the only state school on the list, the others are private and not bound by the laws of the state. These laws say, in particular, that there may not be any alcoholic beverages on Texas state proper ty. That means this campus. In relaxing their rules the U of H and other schools are going against these laws and though the administration here may feel that the laws are not the best, they are not going to unnecessar ily open a new can of worms with the state, especially with the budget situation as it is.—Ed.
