Stanford Rulinq Relaxes Social Limits
STANFORD, Calif. (CPS) —
St a nford Unlvcralty students
over 21 an* now permitted to
drink alcoholic beverages In cam
pus residences and rating clubs,
according to on announcement
from President Wallace Sterling.
Acting under authority of the
hoard of trustees. Sterling said,
"The university believes that the
development of self-discipline,
individual responsibility, and re
spect for law will he enhanced
by entrusting to the students a
greater responsibility for compli
ance with state law and hy the
removal of complete prohibitions
which are not enforceable in
practice.”
The ruling has long been ex
pected since a committee appoint
ed by President Sterling earlier
this year recommended that stu
dents over 21 be allowed to drink
on campus. In all, four liquor pol
icy studies have been conducted
at Stanford in the past six years.
Drinking Set’
In addition, a five-year study
of student development at Stan
ford concluded that for more
than three out of four students
"drinking is well established . . .
even at the time they enter
Stanford . . and is apparently
sanctioned by their peers, their
parents, and society."
"Abstainers do not feel that
social pressures require them to
drink," the study said, “except
possibly in fraternities.”
Prior to the new ruling, liq
uor was permitted only in mar
ried student housing and in the 1
newly-built Faculty Club.
The new rule includes these
major points:
• Each Stanford student is in
dividually and personally respon
slide for compliance with the ap I
plicable provisions of California !
law (It is illegal under state
law for any person to sell, fur-,
nish, or give any alcoholic bever
ages to a person under 21.)
• In order to provide maximum
opportunity for effective self -'
regulation which will protect "the
interests of alt members of the
Stanford community," each resi- i
clnnce hall will adopt regulations
governing the use of alcoholic
beverages and be responsible for
their enforcement.
• Alcoholic beverages may not
he used by students on the cam
pus except within the interior of
campus residences and eating
clubs.
• Alcohol beverages may not
be served at social functions in
residences occupied predomi
nantly by freshmen.
• Alcoholic beverages will not
be sold on the campus.
• Violators of the regulations
will be subject to discipline

I'iu.s professor of Greek at the

through regular procedure*.
California officials view the
new Stanford liquor regulations
as just another sign that the at
titude on hard liquor that for 00
years legally compelled "dry
zones” around California schools
is breaking down.
A state law that passed in 1H70
compelled a mileand-ahaif dry
zone around the University of
California campus at Berkeley
and elsewhere. That limit has
been slowly giving way and 10
years ago the legislature amend
ed it to permit the sale of alco
holic beverages inside the zone
in bona fide eating places.
Faculty Club, Too
Another amendment earlier
this year gave the University of
California permission to sell beer
and wine in the faculty club at
Berkeley.
Although as a private univer
sity Stanford was never covered

; by law, the new rules there are
; viewer! as a sign that the law may
! go altogether in the next few
! years.
For Stanford it was the sec
| onrl time this year that campus
social regulations have been re
! laxed.
During winter quarter the stti
j dent legislature persuaded the
more conservative Associated
Women Students to extend the
curfew time for junior and se
nior women to (i a.m. It had been
2:30 a m.
Freshmen an<J sophomores still
have to report to their residences
by 2:30 a m. but their 36 late
leaves per quarter were increased
under the new regulations.
President Sterling has said that
the new regulations arc part of a
three-year experiment and that
no more changes will be made
during that time. However, some
groups are pushing for doing
away with women’s hours all to
gether, pointing out that the new
regulations make hours more of
a "nuisance than a protection.”
