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.
