opposing an on-campus sale of
beer.
However, he then referred to
CSUF statistics dated Jan. 1,197S

CSUF student as 24-years-old.
The median age, he noted, w»» 22

In swdition, Bell quoted from
similarly dated statistics poin¬
ting out thai 3,900 students,
roughly 25 per cent of the student
body, svere under 21. Ihe legal

Schorling also said he
received some calls arguing
against beer on campus.
But unlike Bell, he followed

said. "Personally, I don't think it

university and benefits the
campus In any way. So, I'm
emotionally as well as ob¬
jectively against it."
After those and other com¬
ments, Baxter clarified his Msy
"At that time. I said I would
consider the favor of the .
Association under certain con¬
ditions." he said. "For example,
lhat it (beer) be served with food.
I want that as part of the
nmotion. Let's have that clear in
the motion "
However. Baxter altered his
stance of last May when he said
that beer will only be served to
persons who buy food. At that
time, he said the board would
have to decide the amount of food
required to purchase beer.
"There's really no way you
can slop the customers from
buying feer without.food," he
said, after Emerson »nd" Levin
wondered about the food
definition status.
The motion was then ap¬
proved by the 3 to 2 vote. Those
favoringathe motion were Bell,
Fintenberger, and Nikssarian.
Emerson and Levin voted against
th* motion while Baxter declined
lo vote on the grounds thst the
policy was his recommendation
Schorling only votes in s tie,
according to board rule*.
Nikssarian said the mandate
given him by students on the beer
poll was one of several reasons
why he voted to approve the

enthusiastically in favor of it (63
