City Balks at License Bid For College Side Beer Sale The Eugene city council early this summer refused to take ac tion on an application by Acce and Hazel Miller, proprietors of the College Side Inn, for a li cense to dispense beer. The application, which chal lenged the “ury zone" prohibit ing the sale of alcoholic bever ages around the campus, was supported by a letter from the Oregon Liquor Contiol commis sion. The letter quoted the head of the commission, W. H. Bailie, as saying the state agency no long er felt a responsibility for ban ning liquor sales near the cam pus. The statement was challenged by William C. Jones, dean of ad ministration. He quoted from an other letter from Bailie, written June 19, pledging that the com mission wouldn't approve license applications within the dry zone without favorable recommenda tions from both the city council and the university. Application Tallied At that meeting the city coun cil voted to table the application until city officials clarified the Oregon Liquor Control commis sion’s apparent change of policy. The “dry zone’’ was establish ed on Jan. 1, 1952, in the cam pus area bounded by Patterson St., Villard St., 21st Ave. and the Willamette river. The action was taken following a public hearing, conducted by the OLCC, when protests to near campus beer sales were raised by University administrators, tem perance groups and mother’s clubs. Since that time, the council has denied all applications for either packaging or dispensing . licenses within the boundaries established. Would Enforce Age Law In their application, the Mil lers said that, if granted a li cense, they intended to strictly enforce the law against selling beer to minors. Dean Jones, told that enforcement of the law would be impossible because two thirds of the students are minors. In subsequent action City At torney John Pennington appeal ed before the commission re questing clarification of its poli cy regarding the "dry zone” sur rounding the University area. Pennington was advised by the OLCC that no change in policy was expected in regard to ban ning the sale of beer and liquor around the campus. He said the commission mem bers told him that "policy with reference to the dry zone is no different now than it has been in the past." At a meeting in late August. Macy Named Senate Aid C. Ward Macy, head of the eco nomics department, has been ap pointed to the advisory staff for the Senate Committee on Bank ing and Currency for the study of Federal laws governing finan cial institutions and credit. This announcement was made by Senator A. Willis Robertson, acting chairman of the Senate committee. 27 Picked The advisory board will be composed of 27 men in the fi nancial field throughout the en tire country. These men will pre pare recommendations designed to remove obsolete provisions from the law and to add new au thority where needed. Macy is one of the two univer sity economists appointed to the advisory committee. Other mem bers are chiefly bank presidents or banking officials. Senator Robertson stated, “I am extremely pleased that these highly competent leaders in the financial field have agreed to assist our committee in this study. All of the various types of fi nancial institutions subject to Federal regulation are represent ed on the advisory committee, as well as every section of the coun try. This broad representation will contribute greatly to the suc cess of the study.” the Eugene City Council turned down the request by the Millers. Their attorney, Charles O. Por ter. read a statement from them saying that they felt the burden of proof should be put upon the university "to prove why each application should not be consid ered on its own merits, without an automatic rejection because of the supposed advantage of main taining a dry zone around the University." In speaking before the council, University President O. Meredith Wilson said that alt but one insti tution in the Pacific conference have similar "dry zones" around their campus areas. Here, he told the council, the effects of the zone have been "genuine and considerable,” both in cutting down drinking and in reducing disciplinary problems. Wilson called the dry zone a part of the university's progress of "institutional discouragement" of drinking on the part of the students, and he urged the council to back the University in con tinuing to maintain the boun daries.
