              Beer To Be Permitted In MPR. Cafeteria
By Michael Lochridge
Beer will be allowed in the Multi Purpose Room
and the Cafeteria, possibly by the end of March, Vice
President for Student Affairs W. Rex Brown
announced Monday.
Beer consumption in these two previously off-limit
areas will be allowed only in conjunction with a
planned program approved by the Village Center
(VC) Board.
''Beer will be permitted to be consumed in the
Cafeteria and the Multi Purpose Room under certain
conditions and arrangements," chairman Brown told
members of the beer committee.
University policy haspreviously restricted the sale
and consumption of beer to the Snack Bar, even
though the Florida State Beverage License covers the
cafeteria, the president's dining room and the
kitchen.
Brown asked the VC program staff to recommend
criteria for the program qualifications, saying he was
looking for "some good substantial programs with
specific, planned items." These criteria have not yet
been established.
"Programming will have to be a major criterion for
allowing beer in the two areas," Brown said, adding
that the VC staff may be able to assist in program
arrangements.
Jim Pierce, president of the VC Board, said he is
hopeful that spring quarter's Pegasus Pubs will be
held in the Cafeteria with the new policy to allow
beer to be brought in from the Snack Bar. At the Jan.
18 Pegasus Pub, featuring the Armstrong Brothers
playing in the Cafeteria, beer was not allowed to be
taken through the jrolled-back doors from the Snack
Bar. Beer will still only be dispensed from the Snack
Bar.
Bill Brown, assistant vice president for student
affairs, said the requirement that a program be
established before permission is granted to consume
beer will "encompass more than just beer blasts and it
will encourage more positive programming to utilize
the university's educational facilities."
Rex Brown emphasized the need to maintain
proper supervision of beer consumption outside the
designated areas to prevent violation of the beer
license. He suggested to the committee that the
organizers or leaders of the groups sponsoring the
program be held responsible for violations.
Rex Brown also asked for advice from campus
organizations and individuals for control methods and
supervision of beer consumption.

Tuition Payment
Change Possible
By Torrey Stewart
Action on possible changes in tuition rates for state university
system (SUS) students to a per hour charge basis was postponed
Monday at the PensacOla meeting of the Board of Regents at
Chancellor Robert B. Mautz' request, according to BOR chairman
Marshall Criser.
Criser said Mautz wished the universities to reach an agreement
before placing the report on the alternative fee structure system
on the BOR agenda.
Although BOR Corporate Secretary Hendrix Chandler said all
Florida state university presidents agreed in principle with the
proposed tuition change, three presidents in a meeting of state
university presidents held last Thursday indicated that the plan
would place unfair financial loads on their students he said.
Presidents of Florida State University, Florida A&M
University, and the University of Florida objected to the plan.
Since students at these three universities tend to carry more
hours per quarter than other state university students, the three
universities may lose funds, according to Interim University of
Florida President E. T. York.
In other action the BOR recommended approval for
establishment of a second architecture program within the SUS,
voted approval to establish a Regents Professor position, and
granted permission to the University of Florida to increase
residence hall rental rates from $5 to $20 per quarter.
The current shortage of professionally trained architects in the
state could produce a need for over 900 architects within the
next five years, according to Criser.
Adequate funds for establishment of the program are available,
according Mautz. Time and place will be determined by the BOR.'
Despite objections raised by spokesman for the American
Federation of Teachers Kenneth Megill, the board passed a plan
to establish a Regents Professor position, which former BOR
chancellors and SUS presidents could fill.
The non-tenured position allows the employee to be assigned
to teaching, research or other duties at a particular university
with annual salary and funds supplied by the board.
Megill indicated the AFT opposed the adoption because of the
cost, and because the Regents Professor would be appointed
without reference to experts in the topic area which the
appointee may be teaching. Megill pointed out that several
university presidents "have no academic background."

Over a hundred students gathered
between the men's and women's dorms late
Wednesday night to observe the mass
'streak' by unidentified students.
Approximately 30 minutes after the crowd
gathered    they   were   rewarded    by   the
appearance of about 15 male streakers.

Dorm Residents Witness
Recent Streaking! nescients
By Marvin Clegg
A crowd ranging in size from
150 to 200 FTU students
witnessed the 'streaking' of
nearly 15 nude and semi-nude
males Wednesday night.
Accompanied by cheers and
squeals of delight,the
unidentified streakers appeared
from between the women's
dorms and disappeared upon
.reaching men's dorm "D."
"I'd like to see it every
weekend."
"It's hilarious."
"It's great."
These exclamations from
various onlookers were ignored
by more serious observers who
pointed out that FTU might well
be able to claim the record for
the tallest streaker on U.S.
college campuses.
Around 1 a.m. yesterday
morning, a lone figure appeared
from B Dorm at the urging of
three friends. Streaking between
the Administration Building and
the reflecting pond, the female
was pursued by a FuTUre
photographer who kept a
respectable distance with his
camera.
As the woman streaker
neared the GCB and a waiting
car, two male students joined
the chase to witness her
getaway.
This incident occurred nearly
four hours after three females
were reported to have sprinted
between the men's dorms into
another waiting car.
"Total hysteria" ran rampant
through SOC 202 Wednesday
when  two streakers struck up
the steps in the Science
Auditorium around noon.
Meanwhile a test of different
sorts was being administered by
Instructor Eleanor Brock who
later reflected, "It's enpugh
shock in one day for a
middle-aged woman."
One of Brock's students, who
claimed she had a 'bird's-eye
view', recalls hearing a "hollering
and whooping" near the.front of
the auditorium shortly before
two males ran up the aisle with
paper bags over their heads.
Brock said it took nearly 15
minutes to quiet the class.
When a spokesman from the
FTU   Police   Department   was
asked whether the Department
had received any directives from
the administration regarding
streakers, the official stated that
nothing on the subject would
come from his lips. He said they
had no orders to crack down on
the activity.
An informed source said it
was rumored Vice President for
Student Affairs Rex Brown was
asking for any information
regarding the streakers. The
source said Brown apparently
did this in response to
speculation by WFTV that 150
Rollins and FTU students would
join for a mass streak this
weekend.
Greek Housing Studied
By Jerry Brooks
Working together, F.TU fraternities and sororities expect to
raise enough money to make on-campus Greek housing a reality.
Co-chairman of a special fund raising committee, Tony
Windsor and Linda Spencer, expect to have enough money by the
end of spring quarter to finance a topographical survey and a legal
description of some 19 acres of university land set aside for Greek
housing.
Since the university has designated no funds for such a survey,
the Greeks have decided to raise the money themselves through
the sale of coupon books. These books, according to Windsor,
will consist of roughly 20 coupons that can be used when
purchasing goods from area stores. The coupons in the books will
allow the purchaser to realize a substantial savings while shopping
in participating stores.
"Getting enough money together is only the first step that
must be taken to get Greek housing on campus," said Windsor,
"but I do expect to see some form of housing within five years, if
the Greek organizations on campus and the administration can
come to some mutual understanding concerning possible
university regulations and restrictions put on the housing area."
