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. If you are
interested in seeing something
done, then contact your Senators
or call the Senate office at 845-

Colorado Olympics face trouble
DENVER <A>) — Gov. 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-

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.

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.
