According to Russell House
Director David Phillips, founder
and director of NEC, this idea
began accidentally at Duke
University in 1960 when 13 colleges
realized they could lower en

together with agencies.
"Our conference educates the
buyers as well as the sellers,"
Phillips said. "A few years ago
entertainment was just for
nightclubs because students and
agents didn't know how to deal
with each other."
NEC also publishes a monthly
newsletter which includes
evaluations of artists turned in by
schools. "Tlhis has a tendency to

A proposal to sell beer on
campus, turned down by the Board
of Trustees last year, will go back
to the Board soon for recon
sideration.
According to Mike Spears, vice
president of the student body, a
group has been studying the issue
for several months, after a
referendum last year in which the
supporters of the issue were vic
torious.
"The group presented the issue
to the Board of Trustees as simplu
saying, 'We would like permission
to sell beer on campus,' " Spears
commented.
"At that time, the Board turned
it down for three reasons;" he
said, "there was not enough ex
planation, they wanted examples
of this issue present on other
campuses and they didn't see the
need for it, which was their
primary reason."
According to Spears, student
government is now prepared to
give an answer as to the need of a
place to sell beer, and has data on
other colleges where beer is sold.
Spears went to Washington this
summer to get this information.
Eighty-nine universities now
permit the sale of beer on cam

increased from 53 within the last
three months. Officials from ten
