Story Book Hero
Raises Beer Stein
By Dave Lobb
Emerald Feature Writer
The Student Prince never had
it so good.
To the strains . of “Drink,
Drink, Drink!...," the story
book hero always seems to have
a beer stein handy to raise on
high with his classmates, But
students at Oregon have to move
out at least three blocks from
the campus to enjoy their little
toasts, no matter the occasion.
The inconvenience of beer
drinking here flows from the cur
rent law on a controversial suds
sipping issue that has run wet
and dry around Oregon over the
past 20 years.
Eligibles Grumble
There's lots of grumble in the
ranks of the eligibles over the
ban which forbids sales of alco
hol in a certain area surrounding
the campus.
However, University officials,
who once didn't mind close-by
drinking, today consider the law
“very favorable."
“Since the law went into ef
fect over three years ago,” Don
ald DuShane, director of student
affairs, said recently, “there has
been a marked decline in student
incidents involving alcohol.”
Brother Passes Out
The surrounding drought exists
because the Oregon liquor con
trol commission decided beer dis
pensers were unable to control
sales to minors. It seems “big
brother” would pass a glass or
bottle out the window to his
eager, thirsty, but under-aged
friends.
DuShane pointed out another
factor which caused the Univer
sity to express its "gratitude” to
OLCC for the “dry” zone.
“The establishments which
were particularly in question at
the time of the no-beer decision
were situated in the path of stu
dent traffic, between living or
ganizations and classrooms,
which caused much trouble,” he
said.
Causes Delay
It seems many students com
ing or going to classes would
stop in for a moment to have
one for the road and never reach
the road again until much, much
later.
It appears that the parched
area will remain unsaturated for
a long time to come. Eugene city
council members also favor the
ban. In fall this year it refused
applications of the Campus cof
fee shop and a Safeway store to
3ell packaged beer. They’d need
the dbuncil's nod before OLCC
would consider their plea.
The College Side has changed
hands since the law went into
effect. Present proprietor of the
beer-less eating place says he
is going along with the decision
and is not planning an attempt
to change or repeal the ban.
Kept Under Eye
Advocates of near-by sales!
were successful in lifting a simi
lar ban in 1935. Eleven years
later, just after World War II,
the University took a stand on
the matter because of various
movements to banish beer. They
said they favored it because of
so many older students being
enrolled, and they could better!
keep their eye on students if!
they didn’t have to go so far
away.
The beer situation came to a \
head again in 1950 with several
student incidents involving beer
and the citing of two parlors for
carelessly selling to minors.
Full-Scale Hearing Foams
A routine hearing on the two
taverns foamed into a full-scale i
hearing on the whole matter,
which resulted in the present
phohibition.
Whether any more action will j
be taken on the issue remains to ;
be seen. As things stand now,!
thirsty partakers with legal I.D.,
will have to be content with
walking their dates a few blocks
farther to indulge.

The next three years will see a I
face-lifting for some of the build
ings on the Oregon campus ac
cording to J. O. Lindslrom, busi
ness manager.
Three buildings will be re
modeled and additions built at a
total cost of 1965,000 in the next
three years, if the 1955 state
legislature appropriates suffi
cient funds. As the need is so
great, it is felt that funds will
be granted.
The school of architecture-and
allied arts will be one of the
schools to benefit from these
plans. The architecture building
will be remodeled and an addi
tion will be built at a cost of
$550,000.
Oregon men will have a new
swimming pool by 1957 when the
remodeling program for the
men’s physical education de
partment is completed. The build
ing itself will be remodeled and
the present pool and building
will be torn down. This program
will cost $340,000.
The music students can look
forward to a remodeling job and
addition to their buildings, too.
Sometime in the next three years
a $75,000 remodeling program
will take place in the music
school.
The first project is a new
dormitory similar to the Virgil
D. Earl hall now under construc
tion. This dormitory will house
328 students and will be built so
it can accommodate both men

and women. The new dormitory
will be built at a coat of $1,250,

Also under discussion is a per
manent housing project for mar
ried students. The project will
house approximately 100 families.
Both one bedroom and two bed
room units will be built. This
project is estimated to cost
$600,000. These projects will be
financed by borrowing the money
which will be paid back over a
period of 30 years.
