OLCC looks at possible alcohol
education program for campus
By Alice Wheeler
Emerald Managing Editor
Two Oregon l.iquur Control Commission
inspectors could start working full-time on
campus to provide alcohol abuse education
and prevention services to University slu
dents.
Continuing problems with student alcohol
abuse prompted the OLCC. in conjunction
with the University, local and slate govern
ments. and student organizations, to create an
on-campus program to strengthen existing al
coho! education efforts and reduce incidents of
underage drinking and alcohol misuse among
students.
Although the number of minors who con
sume alcohol is down from what il used to be.
alcohol is still a major contributor to situations
like last Saturday's confrontation between Mu
dents and police, said l*ele O'Rourke. Old "s
regional manager.
The idea to place OLCC officers on cam
pus was developed List tall but lias been de
laved due to funding problems.
"The slate Executive Department offered

county and University coming up with the
money They just don’t have it." he said.
The University supports the idea and has
offered to provide OUX officers with an EMU
office and telephone service, hut has not of
fered or applied any money to the program,
said Shirley Wilson, dean of students.
"So far it has been presented as an
intervenlive and educational role." Wilson
said. They will also inform students on how to
plan responsible parties and avoid legal prob
lems. she said.
"We told them it would never fly if stu
dents see these guys as cops on campus."
Wilson said.
"The University is against them being.
