FSA clarifies its position on approval of license application With minimal interest ■D 3 co 4 Student issues the topic In response to last year’s Student Association (SA) candidates complaints of a Food Service monopoly on liquor licenses, Assistant Director of Food Service Donald Bozek said, “Any group that has a reserved space on campus can order a temporary liquor license.” However, the Food Service branch of the Faculty Student Association (FSA) must approve any application for a license on campus. groups attempting to make a profit from the sale of liquor. Legally, no organization on a temporary license can gain profit from the sale of liquor. According to Bozek, the majority of the requests, if submitted in time fox .processing, will be approved. However, F$A is ultimately responsible for any occurrence' which may happen at the event, and will deny the request to any organization deemed “irreponsible”. Said Bozek, “We occasionally run across organizations that are irresponsible in the handling of alcohol — they do not wish to co-operate with Food Service,” Food Service has a full liquor license in Squire Hall for the Haymes Dining Room, the Rathskeller and the first floor cafeteria. It also has a full liquor license at Amherst for the Tiffin Room, the Wilkeson Pub, and Student Club. of SA Senate meeting by Kathleen McDonough Spectrum Staff Writer straight rate of $3 per packet and S. sells them to commuters for $2. ? Expansion of the token program will create more parking spaces $ since more students may take the | bus, Fleisher said. f Michael Bernstein, also of the — CO Commuter Party, would like to see more activities scheduled during the day. He claims that this would promote commuter attendance. Bozek claimed, “We don’t make any money off the half kegs of beer we sell. When we have functions, we have to charge for the labor and services.” Bozek welcomes the idea of organization Twenty-one candidates for the Student Association (SA) Senate elections, being held today through Friday, discussed some of the problems facing students in a forum Monday that attracted only minimal interest. About 20 people listened to the candidates as they spoke in Haas Lounge prompting one woman to ask, “1 just came in here to read. Is there some kind of meeting going on?” Student apathy with campus politics was the recurring theme of .the candidates remarks. Interestingly, only eight students are competing for six commuter positions while just thirteen dormitory residents are running for four positions. Although there are 13 dormitory candidates only seven made an appearance during the forum. Election and Credential (E and C) officials said that since a forum would be held Tuesday night in Porter Quad of the Ellicott Complex most of the dormitory candidates would probably appear there. Only dormitory residents may vote for dormitory candidates — members supplying services themselves. “Well, that's a great idea,” he said, “and it’s wprking for a few organizations, however, not all groups are quite as responsible. If a group has proved itself, we’ll allow it to go on its own.” To obtain a temporary license, an organization must apply directly to FSA at least seven days in advance. If FSA approves, the request is sent to the state liquor authorities who may approve or reject the application. FSA rejects applications from woooooooooooc Bulletin boards Michael Levinson, a commuter representing the People's Party, said that his party would like “Commuter Bulletin Boards\ posted in every building to inform commuters of campus events. According to Levinson, the People’s Party has already established “Box L\ in Campus Mail to serve as a drop-off for commuter frustrations and suggestions. The prospect of having to pay for caterers does not appeal to some organizations because of the cost. Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Jim Paul said, “It turns out to be expensive for the groups, but in this way FSA tries to insure against minors.” The Alcohol Review Board, comprised of students, faculty and administrators, will meet September 29 to request specifically defined guidelines concerning functions that FSA will cater. - Estela Medina Delays and other problems with intercampus busing occupied the dormitory candidates. Diane O’Conner and Patrick Young of the Renaissance Party, as well as Party Ace Representatives Judiann Carmack and Joe Glavin, pointed out that since Albany refuses to allocate the necessary funds for proper bus service they will attempt to adapt the present bus schedule to better meet the needs of students, —Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 commuters may only vote for commuter candidates. Token program Commuter candidates focused on such problems as the lack of parking spaces and the scheduling of activites that commuters find hard to attend because they occur late in the evening. The dormitory candidates also agreed that library cutbacks are placing the University in a precarious academic position. They desire expanded library hours, increased periodical subscriptions ar\d a more equitable distribution of libraries between the Main Street and Amherst campuses. Some students questioned said that the forum did not receive enough publicity. A spokesperson for E and C rebuffed the charges stating, “Announcements were placed in Monday’s and last Friday’s The Spectrum.” He attributed the typically low turnout to student apathy. H'arold Fleisher of the Commuter Party said he hopes to ease the parking tangle by convincing Buffalo city officials to allow increased parking on streets near the University. Fleisher also wants to expand the bus token program, provided that Niagara Frontier Transit will agree to sell the tokens to the Commuter Council at a reduced rate. Presently, the Council purchases the tokens at the
