Alumni say Senate beer plan could prompt negative opinions
By DEBBIE DOUGLASS Staff Reporter
The Kansas University Alumni Association did not support a Student Senate proposal last week to sell beer in Memorial Stadium because it was concerned about adverse public events an association official said yesterday.
"We don't have a negative attitude about the product, like it was a fourletter word," Dick Wintermote, Alumni secretary association treasurer, said.
But public attitudes should be checked out thoroughly before the decision, whether to sell beer is made, he said.
There is a difference, he said, between selling beer at professional games in private or city-owned stadiums and in the arena campus in an arena owned by the state.
BECAUSE THE state owns the University's property and finances the University of Kansas, the Alumni Association is very concerned about the reactions of the Kansas Legislature and the Board of Regents, Wintermote said.
"The image of the University is very
important when trying to recruit students," he said.
Parents won't send students here if they think the University is not responsive to their attitudes, he said.
In a large public area such as Memorial Stadium or Allen Field House, Wintermato said, there would be the problem of checking IDs.
"I would like beer to be served in proper settings where there are good controls," he said.
He said that the Student Senate had been working on such controls, but that their proposals had not yet been satisfactory.
"The proposal to sell beer has to be well thought out and carefully planned with few places for error," Wintermote said.
DAVID WELCH, Senate vice president, said beer sales would be controlled by having only two or three places below the stadium where it could
An ID would be required to buy beer, Welch said, and there would be a limit of two or three beers. Such a limit is usually given by the number of beer ID on which the number of beers bought
since the first purchase would be recorded.
Wintermorte said if all the problems of selling beer were not considered, the end result could have a bad effect on Chancellor Gene A. Budig, who, he said, was trying his best to represent the University.
the University.
"The chancellor doesn't need anything that would compromise his position," Wintermorte said.
"I am also concerned that a decision not be made prior to the appointment of a new member of the Board."
THE ATHLETIC director needs to be involved in this type of a decision and he needs to discuss the whole situation with representatives, Winternote said.
"The Alumni Association is not against beer," he said. "In fact, we took the leadership on getting beer into the Kansas Union."
But, he said, that was under a different set of circumstances.
"Ongoing discussions, planning and checking would be very helpful." Wintermorte said about the beer selling proposal.
but, he said, he really did not know how the public would react to the proposal.
Committee approves Moore Hall funds
By KEVIN HELLIKER Staff Reporter
The Kansas House Ways and Means Committee yesterday approved about a new addition to Moore Hall, headquarters of the Kansas Geological Survey.
Construction of the addition, approved last month by the Senate, will begin in late spring if the appropriation approved by the House and John Carlin, William Hambleton, director of the Geological Survey, said yesterday.
"We're getting this approved long before the Legislature considers most appropriations." Hambleton said. "I think the Legislature recognizes that we'll need to be under cover by next winter."
The addition would enlarge Moore
Hall on West Campus to the size originally outlined in blueprints of the building made in 1973, Hambleton said.
"There was a time lapse between the planning of the building and the construction of it," he said. "In the meantime, building costs went up, so to stay within our appropriation, we had to brainstorm, shrank the building by about one-third."
The planned three-story addition would connect Moore Hall with Parker Hall, which houses the U.S. Geological Survey.
Hambleton said that one reason the Kansas Legislature approved the addition without many questions was that representatives from the Geological Survey often testified before committees when bills concerning oil, gas, water or land developments were discussed.
"If it involves gas or oil within the

might occur if 15 faculty positions are cut.
As a result of decreased enrollment at KU last fall, Carlin has recommended that 15 faculty positions and $292,000 be deleted from the 1983
state, no one knows more than us," Hambleton said.
The committee is also meeting with Deanell Tacha, vice censor for academic affairs, this morning, Shulenburger said.
The appropriations approved by the Legislature included about $10,000 for the renovation of Moore Hall, which has leaked water since it was built in 1974.
"We give the facts," Hambleton said. "We don't lobby."
He added to a meeting for the campus-wide AAUP will be held sometime in the spring.
The KU executive committee of the American Association of University Professors will meet this afternoon to discuss the possible impact of Gov. John Carlin's recommended faculty member cuts, Dave Shulenburger, president of the KU branch of AAPU, and associate professor of business, said yesterday.

Students can continue to tap beer kegs in McColum Hall without the interference of the hall director, the hall senate has decided.
Senators deleted the portions of the proposal that dealt with 24-hour notice and the resident director's role. But the proposal still was defeated.
Sherl Schmidt, president of McColum Hall, said recently that the hall senators amended the proposal to allow for a final vote, but it was defeated. 16-12.
In its original form, the proposal read, "A resident must notify the desk 24 hours in advance of tapping a keg for public or private use. The resident director has the right to deny that request."
Schmidt said that the entire proposal was interpreted by the senators as an invasion of privacy.
Doug Frazer, McColm resident director, said that he proposed the measure to help control noise in the house to keep residents from drinking.
"It really riled them up," Nick Oropea, Chicago junior and McCollum senator said.
"When a resident brings that much alcohol into his room, he takes that responsibility because this is his home," he said.
"Our position is that where there are kegs, there tends to be a great amount of noise," Frazer said.
Frazer said that by knowing where keks would be, the security staff could better control noise and protect the other residents' rights.
"We're anti-noise. There's nothing in the proposal that was anti-booze or anti-kez."
A staff proposal that would have required residents to get the resident director's permission to have 3.2 beer beers in their rooms was defeated by the McCollim Hall senate Thursday.
Oropeza said he thought the proposal contradicted the contract that residents signed with the residence halls.
He said that if the measure had been approved by the hall senate, he would have used the right to deny kegs on the basis of previous noise or alcohol-related problems with the individual involved.
"When the residents signed their contracts, they didn't sign their rights away," he said.
Oropeza contended that the residents should be responsible for the parties involving kegs.
Fred McElenbite, director of the office of residential programs, said the individual halls were allowed to use certain protective rules if the residents agreed.
The residence hall contracts allow residents of legal age to have 3.2 cereal malt beverage in their rooms.
Frazer said that the defeat of the proposal would be the end of the issue.
"I respect their right to say no," he said.
“There’s no problem from my standpoint. I will continue to enforce quiet hours, what I perceive to be in need of interest of all the residents.”

Arson squad continues investigation
The Douglas County Arson Squad is interviewing people in a continuing investigation to determine the cause of a fire last Wednesday that resulted in more than $280,000 worth of damage to four downtown businesses.
The Wednesday night blaze is believed to have started near the center of the basement of the Royal College Shop not long after closing time.
Fire Chief Jim McSain said yesterday afternoon that investigators already had interview Tom Black, a former Massachusetts state senator. Massachusetts St. yesterday morning.
McSwain refused to say whether Black's interview had shed any light on the case.
The Arson Squad, which is comprised of the Lawrence Chief of Police, Fire Chief, Douglas County Sheriff, the KU director of Public Safety and the Douglas County District Attorney, met with fire investigators for a weekend morning and again for an hour and a half yesterday afternoon.
"We're continuing our investigation. There are more people to interview and to ask general questions," McSwain said.
Last week, McSwain said electrical or heating problems were not the cause of the fire.
Investigators also are waiting for results of lab tests made on materials taken from the basement of the store, where the fire started.
McSwain would not say how many other people the investigators planned to question. He did say that several

The fire was the second in five years at the Royal College Shop. In 1977, Black rebuilt the store after it sustained more than $450,000 worth of damage. The cause of that fire still is undetermined.

McSwain said investigators had followed up 27 leads and had made three trips back to the scene of the fire.
Royal College Shop employees had been interviewed and that several more would be.
