HAPPY HOLIDAYS! DEBATERS UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Volume XLV, No. 22 " COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, MARCH 22, 1951 V.i1bb Admiral Wants Liquor Stores Far, Far Away By BILL NOVIT Campus Editor There'll be no whiskey store in the Cornell Arms or Claire Towers apartment buildings if the univer sity administration has its way. At a meeting of the South Caro lina Tax Commission held Tuesday morning, University President Nor man M. Smith, Dean Francis W. Bradley, and members of the board of trustees presented arguments against the opening of a liquor store in either of the apartment buildings near the university cam pus. President Smith began the uni versity's appeal by reading a letter from university officials to the members of the commission asking that the permit for the establish ment of these liquor stores not be granted. He then called on Arthur Knight, chairman of the board of trustees, who said that the board, at its last meeting, passed a resolution dis approving granting the permits, and the members pledged them selves to oppose it. Senator Marion Gressette, a was the next speaker. Senator Gressette said that he not only rep resented the board of trustees but that Governor Byrnes had also asked him to appear and to "vigor ously protest" the locating of a liquor store in the Cornell Arms or Claire Towers because "it would he detrimental to the university students." President Smith then called on Dean Bradley who said, "We on the univcrsity campus are also teaching students good citizenship, which is a 24-hour job, and the opening of this store is one thing which would work against our task of strengthening the characters of the young people of South Caro lic.a." Monroe Fulmer represented the company seeking the permit for tie Cornell Arms store. He said that the Cornell Arms pays $1,000 a month in property taxes and that "We feel we should be allowed to use our property for legal busi n esses as long as we pay our part of the tax burden." "If we thought that one pint more of liquor would be consumed in Richland county over a year's time because of this store, we Wouldn't be here," he said. He pointed out the fact that any one operating a liquor store cannot sell to a minor and said that as fyr as the location is concerned, the men students of the university are not restricted from going uptown day or night and could buy liquor anywhere. "If this becomes a bad influence, you (the commission) have the answer," he said, stating that the coniissioni could close the store. -. M. D)rake, Claire Towers ap l)heant said, "I hope the university students will not come into my store because I don't think a stu dent should spend his parents' money on liquor," adding that he pllannmed to make sure a man was 21 year's of age or older before selling to him. "If there's any doubt about his age, I wvon't sell him any liquor," he said. D)iscussion -- pro and con -- con timued, but nao decision was reached. The commission will decide after hearing all arguments in the case.

Mr. Jackson felt that the na ionalization of industry is gener mly misunderstood in the United states. "I ndustaial aationalizationa was necessary," he said, "because ertain basic public utilities, such s gas, coal, water, electricity, and ransportation, which are required y the whole country, should not e subject to private profit, but hould benefit the entire populace." In regard to foreign policies Mr. ackson said that all political arties, except the communists, are nited.
