Brand considered student . omplaiiils and even went so tar as to criticize some ot the polii e a. turns. • Brand also met with student leaders in .. roundtable luncheon to ask loi their ideas in ending the antago nism Tins was an admirable step, hut one thing that is becoming int leasinglv clear about the party confronta tions is that they are mu. h more than a police-student problem The situation is a community issue It's the University's estimate that only one-third of those in volved in the disturlianc.es are 1 hiiversily students 1 he recent arrest lists bear this out: most of those taken in have not been students .it the University Fugene's cit\ council halted i raising on Willam ette Street two years ago and I In* results «»r*' showing up now Hon'd high sc hool students are c oming to the campus area for their entertainment Solutions to the student polic e' problem must involve input Irom the' c itv counc il and from the local high sc hools Along these lines, there's a need for some sort ol mediation or citizens’ re view hoard to meet with the' police ANUO President Andy Clark has expressed sonic' interest in these steps, they're great ideas and lie: should be encouraged to pursue them • Most people don't blame Fugenes anti-cruising law tor the new parly problems.

The fraternities certainly have the right to manage themselves, but it's our feeling that allowing kegs wouldn’t be a bad idea f irst of all. it would mean a re turn to larger private* parties at greek houses, where high school students can't crash. Secondly, it would mean fewer off-campus parties and the drunken driv ing that arises from it. Thirdly the fraternities' current policy of individual purchases means more hard alco hol purchases, which may lead to higher rates of alco holism within houses.
