Pettit explained that ap- proximately 100 ballots had to be discounted because they were not authorized at the polls with the initials of the person working the polls. He said that the discounted bal- lots were checked, but, their validity did not affect the out- come of any races. They would have only made the United Council referendum numbers a little closer. "It was a pretty good turn- out for a Fall election where the only competitive issue was United Council," Pettit said. Lewandowski said he would like to say "Thank-you" to everyone who helped out at the voting polls, The new Senators, SUFAC seat and PUAB seat will be formally accepted at the Nov. 4 PSGA meeting.

"We have two years to pay back those funds, so we will probably use a per- centage of the excess money to repay the UW-System," Donovan said. SUFAC also discussed the $17,170 Administrative As- sessment Fee that was hand- ed over to the committee.

"I'm surprised that the At last, after months of sug- gestions, arguments and an opinion poll, the Parkslde Union Advisory Board (PUAB) has made a decision on the alcohol polley for dances. Through a 8-0-0 vote at the meeting held Friday, Oct. 21, PUAB decided to pass a new policy allowing the sponsor- ing organization to decide the alcohol policy for their dance. Organizations have three op- tions to choose from: (1) hav- ing the beer garden up, allow- ing guests 18 and up to attend the dance but allowing only those of legal drinking age to . enter- the beer garden, (2) keeping' the beer garden down, allowing guests only of legal drinking age to attend the dance by allowing beer to be consumed anywhere in the Union Square or (3) having a dry dance, opening the event up to the general public. The polley was amended to state' that the sponsoring or- ganization must report to PUAB several weeks before their dance Is to be held with the rationale for their dect- sion on the alcohol polley for that event. The amendment passed 8-0-0. The new policy was imple- mented in the hopes of ap- pealing to all student organi- zatlons. Diane Welsh, Coordi- nator of Student Activities, felt the new polley would be a good Idea because sponsoring organizations know what kind of audiences they will attract with the entertainment they choose. The Parkside Activities Board (PAB) Live Entertain- ment Chairman Franca Sava- gUo stated that P AB will pro- , , J ompson gram dances that will fall under all three alcohol polley options next semester. Mark Thompson, PUAB Chairman, said, "I'm very glad it's over. We're satisfied with the outcome. I think It will help out a lot with dance programming. '0 PUAB also discussed the al- cohol policy options for other campus special events (come- dians, P AB Night LIfe events, etc.) because they have been growing in popularity over the past few years. It was agreed that the beer garden would not be put up for these events, so PUAB focused its attention on security officers. Welsh felt that at least one officer should be present at the event. She said others could be hired If the event seems to be generating a lot of student interest. The Issue was tabled until the next PUAB meeting so more information could be obtained on costs for addition- al officers. Inside... Page 2...· - Halloween hoaXed for Madison· :' Page 3...

Alcohol Awareness by Scott Singer An open debate on the state's drinking age was held on Wednesday, Oct. 19, as part of Parkslde's Alcohol Awareness Week. Keith Rob- erts, a drug and alcohol counsetor, and GU Meisgeler. President of the Tavern League of Wisconsin, debated as to what the legal age for consumption of alcoholic bev- erages in Wisconsin should be: 19or 21. Alcohol Awareness Week. which was sponsored by Resi- dence Life. Campus Police. Student. Activities, and the Rec Center. presented this. and other activities, to ralse the knowledge and awareness of the students. Attracting 25- 30 people, the debate was held in MaIn Place. Roberts, a recovertng ad. dict himself, supported the 21 year-old drinking age. Stress. ing education .as his key point, Roberts sald he pro. motes "decisions based on factual Information." Contra. dieting the very essence of the debate, Roberts claimed to be neither pro nor con on the drinking age of 21. He cited interaction with "vic. tims of substance abuse." and proceeded to preach the evils of alcohol. .,Alcohol opens the door for a Officer Brian Ketterhagen end RA Jackie Connors hend out alco- hol awareness pamphleta before the debate. . rant/tavern. He stoood for the drinking age of 19.Calling his opponent and those who sup. port the present age of 21 "prohibitionists", Melsgeier said that they were imposing prohibition on a class of citi- zens: those under the age qf 21. He feels that legislators passed the law to please a certain type of voter. He claimed that they do not think that 18, 19, and 20 year olds vote, and that the meetings . and debates were dominated by "senior citizens that have nothing better to do." -When the drinking age was raised to 21 in Michigan in 1930,the consumption of alco- hoi did not change. Melsgeier said this was because the same poeple were drinking even if they. were under age. they just found different ways. With a bill being worked on for a lower drink- ing age, he said the Tavern League and himself want to pro"'de younger adults with a better drinking environment. Stating that the higher 'age has forced 19and 20 year-olds "out of the bars and into the cars." he wants to see these people drinking in an estab- lishment rather than in an un- controlled environment. He argued that If these drinkers drink in a legal environment they have presures not only - other substances," Roberts claimed. "You are more likely to try other substances when under the influence of alcohol." He made an analo- gy of what alcohol does to the body, and compared alcohol eating away paint off of a piece of wood to alcohol eat- ing away at the mind and. morals of a person. Although he did not present any actual statistics or infor- mation, Roberts did take a strong stance on making good judgment calls. "If you need alcohol to socialize, then you've got a problem." he said. Because of what alcohol does to a person under its in- fluence, he urged that when "people choose to drink, they be responsible about their drinking." He also said' that people should go beyond what they hear from people SUch as himself and research for themselves effectively to make an intelligent decision. Meisgeier, in addition to his role as President of the Tav- ern League. owns a restau- from their peers, but from older adults and owners who may ask them to leave If they get out of hand. The floor was opened up to questions after the debate. Jay Lewandowski, President of the Student Government Assoclalton, presented the fact that in the first year after- the drinking age was raised, deaths related to drunk driving decreased. he also stated that after that year. that number increased until It surpassed the ortginal level. Melsgeier attributed this to uncontrolled underage drinking In. which groups of drinkers, who may have only wanted to drink a smail amount, pooled their money to buy liquor in bulk and pro. ceeded to drink It all. StreSSing that the present drinking age was passed by only two votes. Meisgeier presented many solutions. be- yond lowering the drinking age, to control the deaths and other problems related to ex- cesslve drinking. He proposed educallon at the junior high level to prepare for drinking In later life. In addition to et- forts SUch as the Designated Driver Program. he proposed systems to make drinking be- fore the age of 21 a privilege that could be taken away if abused.
