Campus liquor proposal begins another round
By Mark Hoffman
A bill allowing selling and drinking of alcohol
on-campus was introduced in the opening days of the
second session of the Legislature.
Sponsored by Lincoln Sen. Steve Fowler arid
Omaha Sen. John Cavanaugh, the bill, LB733. calls
for two changes in existing Nebraska law.
The first change would permit saie:, of ;, omoI or.
any state college or university campus.
The second would allow drinking in living units
without consent of the institutions' governing bodies.
The bill attempts to equalize the laws' on college
and university students' drinking rights with those of
others 19 years or older, Fowlt" and Cavanaugh said.
Existing Nebraska law makes it ilk gel to sell,
possess, oi consume alcohol on university or college
proper ; y.
Fowler, 1971-72 ASUN president, said students
should not loss the rights of a person 19-years-old or
older because they decide to live in university or
college housing.
Governing bodies, such as the Board of Regents,
Aoui'l still have a voice in deciding on the issuance of
liquor licenses on campus.
h-wler said he and Cavanaugh had drafted the bill
without the endorsement of the regents. Cavanaugh
said he would be very surprised if it were endorsed by
ho boai (!.
In the past, the regents have opposed proposals to
allow drinking on campus.
The bill was proposed at the request of Creighton
University in Omaha and state college students,
according to Fowler. Although Creighton already
allows alcohol in living units, it cannot have
on-campus sales.
A similar bill, which called for legalizing
on-campus alcohol sales, was introduced and defeated
by a 30-12 vote during the 1972 legislative session.
Fowler said the addition of new senators arid
changed attitudes of other senators make him more
optimistic about the fate of LB783 than he was ai.oiu
its 1972 counterpart.
The bill should have its first committer neanr.g
within two or three weeks, Fowler said.

Cajoling one moment and
castigating the next, Regents Kermit
Hansen and Edward Schwartzkopf

As a plum for dormitory residents,
Regent Hansen announced that during
their last meeting, the Board of
Regorits had accepted a proposal by
the UNL Housing Office to seek bids
for $300,500 worth of "redecoration
and rehabilitation" for various
dormitories on the Lincoln campus.

last semester, she said.
Dick Brownyard, a pro-veterinarian
major taking 13 hours, said he spent
$b0 to $75 for books each semester.
He said he thought he paid more than
the books are worth.
Brownyard said that for one of his
courses, he has to buy used pamphlets
that cost 75 cents each.
What bothered students most wfs
the prices bookstores pay students for
their used books.
"I don't plan to return my books to
the bookstores because I heard the
price they pay are ridiculous," Moon
said.
"It just bothers me that they make
so much off the deal," she added.
Vandenbrouke said that when she
sold used books to the bookstores, she
"couldn't get anything lor them."
Arceri said she thought selling back
lx)oks was "a pretty good deal. It's
better than having them sitting
around."
Students ending their college
careers seemed a bit more optimistic
about buying books.
Guillermo Ronderos, a senior
business masters candidate who plans
to graduate in May, said his books this
semester were "the cheapest ones yet"
at $12.
Patty Heiser, a senior Spanish
major, said having to buy only one
textlxjok is "just great.
"I'm ending my college career with
a good figure of $11," she said.

board, Hansen cautioned. Let the
