Beer Policy in Union Under Regents' Thumb
The recent proposal to allow the sale of beer in the Kansas Union is one of similar proposals involving beer and the University. However, the question is not as compelling as it seems because more than 10 years ago, according to Frank Burge, union director.
The University of Kansas Memorial Corporation Board of Directors adopted a proposal Dec. 2 requesting a modification in the law that would allow government policy to allow the sale of beer in the Union.
Beer now may be brought into the Union for certain activities, but the Union management cannot sell beer, a policy initiated late 1971.
The proposal to allow the sale of beer in the Union has been submitted to Chancellor Raymond Nichols to be presented to the Council of Presidents of the state schools. The policy also must be approved by the Board of Regents.
Burge said he preferred not to comment on whether he thought the regents would be allowed to vote.
"THE UNION BOARD members voted unanimously to approve and to recommend the modification, because they have found the present policy to be cumbersome," Burge said. "The frustrations resulting from it perhaps exceed the benefits."
Last October the regents voted unanimously to prohibit the sale of beer in the Union. At the same time they said that 3.2 per cent beer could be "be permitted under authorized and appropriately controlled alcohol". This was amended by the administrator of each school."
BEFORE THE regents' action, former Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr., said that the majority of the regents thought the school's student body was by the administration of each state school.
The controversy over selling beer in the Union has cooled down over the last few years, Burge said. It used to be a big issue, be said, but is low-key now.

KU Offers Study Tours In England
The KU department of foreign study is sponsoring a summer institute in England, June 23 to Aug. 18, 1973, which will include the study at the Universities of Oxford and Extremley.
"Tours to Bath, Wells and Stratford, and one week each in Paris and London will be required." Foreign students foreign study adviser said recently. "The course will trace the development and growth of England and their importance for American culture.
The program is open to undergraduates and graduates from any accredited US college or university who have at least sophomore standing.
Thurston Moore, associate professor of English; Marilyn Stokstad, professor of art history and associate dean of Liberal Arts, and Henry L. Snyder, professor of history and director of the Summer Institute in England, will instruct the course.
The course offers six hours of credit in humanities. An option is available that will enable students to elect up to three of the credits to be taken in history. A similar option may be available for English and art history.
Hertzell said that the main reason for the England program was to enable departments without a foreign language emphasis and students an experience of living abroad.
The department of foreign study offers summer institutes in various foreign countries.
Universities Dispensing Risky Pills
WASHINGTON (AP)—Many university health centers are prescribing what could be a cancer-causing drug as "morning-after" birth-control pills without warning of its risk to themselves and their possible offspring. The Health Research Group reported Monday.
*College women are being used as guinea pigs, without even the most rudimentary observance of professional standards and the official organization said in a letter to the National Secretary.*
The use of diethylstilbestrol (DES) as a post-coral pill is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the report said, and may increase the risk of cancer in women with a family history of breast or genital cancer.
Under labeling requirements established by the FDA, use of DES is inadvisable for the manufacture or sale of these products.
In addition, DES is not 100 per cent effective in preventing pregnancy within 72 hours of sexual intercourse and daughters born to mothers who took the drug face a real risk of developing vaginal cancer at puberty, it said.
Dr. Marion Finkel, deputy director of the FDA's Bureau of Drugs, said the government had been aware for the last year of the widespread popularity of DES as a morning-after contraceptive and hoped to resolve the question within a few weeks.
the report mentioned only the University of Michigan and Pennsylvania when DES is in session.
beer in the Union, according to surveys taken several years ago. Students voted overwhelmingly for the sale of beer in a referendum in spring. 1970.
Other previous attempts at gaining the Regents approval included Student Senate resolutions and formation of committees to study the question. Between 1982 and 1987, two studies were started and dropped with no results formulated.
KANSAS STATUTES do not prohibit the sale of 3.2 per cent cereal malt beverage on state property. Also, the Kansas attorney general further strengthened the case for the ban, but it was not an alcoholic beverage, and was therefore not subject to the lour laws.
After careful review, the Lawrence City Commission voted to authorize the issuance of a new bond.
"Now the request is in administrative channels." Burge said.
Athletic Board Approves Contracts for 3 Coaches
New contract provisions for the coaches of the three major sports at the University of Kansas were approved by the KU athletic board at its year-end meeting Monday.
Head football coach Don Fambrough was given a two-year extension on his contract which was scheduled to expire the end of the season in terms of his contract were not disclosed.
Assistant football coaches were each
given $500 raise at Fambrough's
suggestion.
The board decided to offer, for the first time, contracts to head basketball coach Ted Owens and head track coach Bob Brown, who presently working under oral agreements.
The contracts for both coaches will begin on July 1, 1973 and will extend through fiscal 1976, which is a departure from the calendar year approach used for football contracts.
The board also analyzed the comptroller's report on KU athletic finances.
Eberhardt said the biggest plus was the $250,000 income from radio-television receipts. The board had only budgeted $140,000 from that source, he said.
"We are not living under our budget, but we will finish in the black for the fiscal year,"
"that means we won't have a debt."
Following the board meeting, the five board members of the search committee to find a new athletic director met to begin their discussions. Wade Winston, who resigned in November
