Alcoholic beverages subject to inspection
ATLANTA (UPI)—Georgia Attorney General Arthur Bolton ruled Thursday that alcoholic beverages legally are "food." making them subject to inspection by the state agriculture department.
The demonstrators broke dozens of windows. They laid siege to the campus Navy ROTC building and California Hall, where Chancellor Roger Heyns' offices are located. A group of about 20 smashed out the windows in the faculty club, where 50 professors were eating lunch. They dashed inside and turned over chairs and water coolers.
Bolton said the Georgia Food Act describes food as "articles used for food or drink for human consumption." The opinion was issued at the request of Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin.
