BARS LIQUOR FROM
STANFORD CAMPUS
New Student Affairs Committee
Outlines Policy Regarding
Drunkenness
Warns That Violation of Rule
Will Meet With Severe
Penalties

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. March II.
For the first time the new student af-
fairs committee OF Stanford university
came out today with a definite state
ment OF its position in connection with
resolutions passed by the athletic coun-
ell making intoxication ON the campus
punishable by suspension. In letters
maiied to the Secretaries of the college
clubs and fraternlties the committee
outlines a policy which makes the mere
bringing of liquor on the campus an
offense and prohibits students from
drinking at any time. The statement
follows:
This committee, in considering the
Interpretation it should put upon these
resolutions; believes all drinking of
intoxicating beverages in Encina hail.
fraternity houses or other student
lodgings is obviously inconsistent with
the spirit of these resolutions and
should therefore be discountenanced by
all loyal members OF the university
community.
The known occurrence of a so called
beer bust or other drinking party
which results in disorder or drunken
ness in any degree upon premises un-
der the control of any student club.
fraternity, organization or group will
be treated as an offense. for which the
member of such club fraternity organi-
zation or group shall be held respon-
sible
Furthermore, any student who is
known 10 have been noticeably under
the influence of Intoxicating liquor in
any place. or who has participated in a
so called beer bust" or other drinking
party from which disorder or drunk
enness in any degree results. shall be
considered subject for discipline at the
hands of the committee.
The committee will have il clearly
understood that all students violating
the spirit of the resolutions of the ath-
letic council do so at their peril, and
that whenever disorder or drunken
ness results from such violation. inten-
tion to avoid such disorder or drunken
ness will be regarded as no excuse.
The committee hopes that the volun-
tary cooperation of the students will
make further restrictive measures un-
necessary.

traction company withdraws its de-
mand that all motormen and conductors
furnish bonds indemnifying the COM

desire. All OF the men are willing to

sought for anthracite was discovered
two miles north of Verdi and within
few miles of this city.

Cushing saw his advantage and drove

Not necessarily"
Last year the fruit exchange shipped

Luce expressed the opinion that the
company might have continued to ship
at higher rate even though public
