WILL ADMIT LIQUOR ADS,
They Will Have Free Access to
the Pages of Blue and
Gold.
Stor my Meeting OF the Junior Clas s
at Berkeley-Co.eds Out in
Full Force.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 18.-Liquor
lads" will have carte blanche to the
pages of '98's Blue and Gold. Such was
the decision of the junior class at the
State University this afternoon after a
lengthy war of words, in which dozen or
more of the "eds" and one "co-ed''
participated.
The set of resolutions introduced to de-
bar liquor adver tisements from the an
nual was overthrown by a vote of 81 to AZ.
This action of the class is the result of an
extended controversy over the principle
and propriety of admitting such advertis-
ing matter between the combined forces
of the college Y. M. 6. a. and the Y. w.
9. A. and the other mem bers of the class
The co-eds were out in force to-day. In
fact it was the largest delegation of young
lady members of the class that has assem-
bed since the freshman year. The side
they took on the question soon became
approved, and they voted almost to a
single person against the insertion of the
disputed ads. After the discussion over
the questio had been brought to a close ,
secret ballot was demanded, and during
the count the excitement ran high be-
cause of the almost uniform scores which
was run up until the last when the sup
! porters Of the ads made squirt and fin
ished nine ballots cad.
W. W. Bristol author of the condem-
natory resolutions passed by the A. M. G.
A., opened up the fight. He reviewed
the case from a standpoint of morality,
principle and finance, and was followed
by II. l.. Waste and f. r. Fairchild, who
| spoke in the same tenor. Editor Rector
of the B. and g. turned the tide by offer
ing the excuse for the insertion of the
liquor ads that the book needed the money
which they would yield. o. ii. Allen
came in with like opinion. Q. @. Boyn-
ton did not want the ads to go in becau use,
he said, the public conception of college
student now is young man with book
IN one hand and wine-glass in the other.
Then came the single coed speaker
Miss L. r. Haenlehn, who acted as spokes-
man for her college sisters. She made a
valiant stand for the cause OF temperance
and against the "nefarious influences
which lurk in the liquor ads
The matter then came to vote with
the result that the Y. M. @. A. and the
Y. w. G. A. were forced into the back
ground.
A shout OF approval went up when it
was found that the liquor men had been
given the privileges OF the back pages of
the book.
The principal arguments offered in favor
of admitting the ads was that the pubica-
appearance would work no harm to any
one.
More trouble is anticipated before the
question is finally settled.
