Students Say
Drink Problem
Not too Grave
By Larry Hobart
The possibility of student identi
fication cards received the atten
tion of Oregon students today
when they jwere asked to weigh
the pro and con of the tentative
ID proposal set forth by an Execu
tive Council committee.
The plan would call for a single
card combining both student body
card and activity card. Each card
would carry the student’s picture,
identification, and age.
Joan White—senior in history—
‘‘If student ID cards were in force,
much of the present controversy
would be eliminated. It would pro
tect both students and business
establishments.”
Gene Espey—freshman in busi
ness administration—“It’s probab
ly a good idea, but I don't think
it will help much in regard to beer
situation. Students would still be
able to use false identification. It
would be necessary to re-validate
the cards each term or issue a new
card, which would be expensive.”
Bill Offord—senior in business
administration—“I think student
ID would be a good idea. If the
cards were still divided into two
divisions, male and female, the
athletic portion of it should work
as effectively. Good photographs
will be necessary to make the ID
worthwhile.”
Carole Newtson—freshman in
liberal arts—“No ID! It would
probably bring on a general clamp
ing down on student activities.”
Shirley Potter—senior in Eng
lish—“It would help eliminate
switching of ID. A card with a pic
ture and signature would be rathpr
difficulty to falsify. Changing our
present system of two cards to
one would greatly simplify things.”
Harry Walin—senior in account
ing—“The ID plan should be re
ferred to the Liquor Commission.
If they approve of it, the plan
would probably meet with the ap
proval of those establishments sell
ing liquor.”
Kenny Eaton—sophomore in pre
law—“For a man like myself, und
er 21, it’s not so good. It would
probably curtail my activities
quite a bit.”
Elaine Rempel—freshman in lib
eral arts—“It’s a good plan from
the standpoint of the administra
tion, but it makes it tough on the
younger people. I think the idea
of co'fhbining athletic and activity
cards in one is good, from the
authorities viewpoint.”
Hugh Byrkit—junior in crimin
ology—“I work at the College Side
and I think that there should de
finitely be an identification system.
Whenever anyone purchases beer
they should be required to pre
sent ID at the same time. This
would insure beer for those over
21 and prevent minors from ob
taining it.”
Clayton Foster—junior in busi
ness administration—“I don’t like
the idea of a required student ID.
Students at any university will
get beer if they want it. If drink
ing is kept on the campus it can
be supervised and somewhat con
trolled. Why doesn’t the Univer
sity issue ration cards instead of
identification.”
Veneeta Carwley—freshman in
liberal arts—“Think of all the ex
pense the University would have
to go to. If students were required
to show identification in the Side
and Taylor's they would go else
where to buy their beer.”
Wjfcj a couple of teen agers’are
talking, why doesn't the operator
just tell us the line is dizzy.
Students Crowd
(Continued from page one)
throughout the day by students
simply because it is handy.” He
objected to the proposal that beer
sales be moved away from the
campus because it would only
“exaggerate and magnify the situ
ation.”
Three University students also
voiced opinion that removing beer
sales farther from campus would
not alleviate drinking. Instead,
they claimed, it would have harm
ful effects.
Glen Holden, senior in business
said, “Proprieters here( Taylor’s
and the Side) are better able to
check than those in town because
they know many of the students.
They are also able to maintain
order, and their places are re
spectable.”
Charges that Herschel Taylor
and John F. Alpine, owners of the
two places, were negligent in
checking identification of students
purchasing beer was opposed by
the three students and by Sid
Claypool, owner of a drugstore lo
cated next to Taylor’s.
Claypool said that employees of
the establishment “made a dili
gent effort to check on the age of
those buying beer.” He added that
“beer would be obtained by those
who wanted it no matter how far
they had to go.”
Taylor and Alpine both spoke
in their own behalf. They claimed
that it was impossible to avoid
selling beer to minors when they
used false or borrowed ID, and
recommended that the University
issue special identification cards.
Karl Glos, liquor commission ex
aminer who was in charge of the
hearing, said that no decision
would be made until the next meet
ing of the commission in Portland
Nov. 24. At that time, he said,
the evidence collected from the
hearing would be presented.
