Free to public. by TOM WALKIEWCZ The Student Life Advisory Council sub-committee on alco-hol held a public hearing last Thursday in the snack bar. It was a sincere effort on the part of committee members to find but what students think about Towson's drinking regulations. However, in this respect it was pretty much of a failure, as no more than a �handfull of students bothered to attend. This prompted many to dismiss the whole alcohol issue as a waste of time saying that, first of all, most of the student body would not benefit from such a change, and, secondly, that the administration is unlikely to go along with anything the sub-committee would recommend. State Law The first of these arguments is .understandable. Even if alco-hol were allowed on campus, the Maryland state law would pre-vent at least 75 percent of the students from taking advantage of it. And most of the students who are 21 are seniors who won't be here next year anyway, so who cares? Lower Age College Centre Director Dallas Garber, taking this into account, suggested that a more worthwhile would be for stu-dents to attempt to lower the state age to 18 like Washing-ton's. This would certainly affect a greater number of people and, considering the amount of red tape involved in changing Towson's or the state's law, it does seem reasonable to aim for the bigger target. This is a valid point. But what about the other argument? Is the administra-tion really that unreasonable? Some students picture them as being a giant foot ready to fall on any good ideas so why even bother with something as touchy as alcohol on campus? Well, it surprised these students more than anyone to learn who it was who.first ques-tioned Towson's drinking policy. It wasn't a student or a faculty member, or even an out-side agitator; it was the presi-dent of this college. He asked the Student Life Advisory Council to find out what these same students thought about the matter and they answered by !saying that the 'administra-ion doesn't care. Others are discouraged by the thought of presenting any new policy change to the Board of Trustees of Maryland's State colleges, They reason that the Board will see a change at Tow-son as,having state-wide reper-cussions, and thus they will surely reject anything re-quested. Well this isn't neces-sarily so . The sub-committee might learn from the question-sires that little or no change is wanted by the students. This may disappoint some individuals but it will be the students' de-cision.. (Continued on. page 3) SGA CANDIDATES FourCompete for Presidency; Pearman Runs on Write-In Mike Gordon I have decided to run for President of the S.G.A. because I feel it is time for that organi-zation to be re-evaluated and streamlined to better reflect Student opinion and needs; and to improve student-faculty-ad-ministration relations in re-gards to decisions concerning the policy of the school and uses of expanding school facilities. I have gained the experience and knowledge needed for this job by serving as S.G.A. senator for the past two years from the International Relations Club and Judo Club (in my sopho-more year) and as senator from U.C.C.F. till it disbanded and then as senator from the Golf Club this year. In addition I worked on the Elections Committee as a fresh-man and as election co-ordina-tor for the class of 69's steer-ing committee. Since then I've continued to work with the El-ection Committee as well as the Student-Faculty Library Com-mittee. I am also presently the TOM TATE President of ithe Young Demo-cratic Club on campus and its representative to the state and national organizations. I plan to work, if elected, for concrete revisions of the rules concerning all areas of the col-lege, where such revisions seem to be needed. And I believe that there is a crying need for re-visions in the areas of: park-ing regulations, in the dormi-tories, in the cafeteria, in the student center and in the organs of the S.G.A. itself. For ex-ample, part of these revisions will be to urge the adoption of no restrictions or liberalized re-strictions of young ladies in residence who have reached the age of 21. Mike Pearman I am running for president of the SGA on the apathy plat-form. My slogan is ""Procrast-ination Now!"" I feel that, by running, I am giving the vot-ers a real choice. For example in previous SGA elections only 20-25% of the student body bothered to vote. This means that over 75% of the gudenits were too apathetic to vote and really didn't care who got elec-ted. Therefore, by running on the apathy platform, I repre-sent an overwhelming majority of the student body. My honesty is running is be-yond question. Other candidates, when campaigning, will make all sorts of wild promises about eudent representation, student power, etc., and won't accom- (Continued on page 4) RAY WHACKS "
