Like coed visitation, the question of alcohol on
campus is playing the backfield lor awhile.
Ann Henry said an ASUN Differental Housing
Committee just organized will prepare a proposal
to submit to the regents next spring. It will cover a
broad spectrum of campus living, including coed
halls, visitation and probably alcohol, she said.
She said she thought wailing vvas the wisest
step.
"'I he icgenls were so overly against the idea
(alcohol and visitation) to shut with, bringing it
back over and ovei isn't going to help." she said.
I he icgenls in June voted down -I 2 a proposal
to allow alcohol in campus living units and the
