Spur's future By Cal Harrison Because of the new drinking age, the campus night club, may not reopen. Saga may decide not to manage the Golden Spur because the new drinking age will probably affect the bar's business, according to Carl Chandler, director of the campus food service, but the new law may not be the only problem. Even if Saga agrees to manage the Spur, a USC board of trustees policy may not let them. One of the Spur's operational policies, approved by the Alcoholic Beverage Commission, says "management responsibility will be held by the Russell House staff within the Division of Student Affairs." Discussions to give the Spur's management responsibility to Saga began in April between Chandler and Dennis Pruitt, vice president of student affairs. Last week, Spur Manager Mark Taylor handed in his keys. "I do not believe we should have an operation of this sort (the Spur) without an involvement by student affairs comparable to that of business affairs in similar operations elsewhere on campus," said Philip Grier of the University Council.

In the letter, he said "regular University employees will not be used to manage the operation...to further separate beer sale from regular University activities." Pruitt said he didn't think the policy would affect his decision, which has an Aurv 1 lina i 1U5. a vivuvi 111 iv "As long as student affairs runs it, we have the authority to bid out services. We can write things into the contracts to keep the companies under student affairs' control," Pruitt said. "If the drinking age is raised to 21, a small percentage of students will be able to drink legally. Then, we'd be catering to a minority of students," Pruitt said. Out of 6,707 students living in dorms last fall, only 2,338 were juniors or seniors, according to a report compiled by USC. The age law may also affect entertainment programs, at the Spur. "I've been in several states where there was a 21-age-law, and programming there virtually didn't exist. As far as smaller programming events, they were unsuccessful; schools usually relied on big programs, Chandler said. 2QQQDXE > "j4.,ity f 100 * \ 4 *?d a?*' <|0tf 1*' imml MEN'S | ? | ree medications iaphraem available j ; about you i c n i HlDia, | * On neu tim< Era 2 one M v dir( sun wh( with Mono- iss Research.

I , . .. iuse of law Saga provides food service to more than 400 campuses, and Chandler said about 30 or 40 of them have Spur-type operations. He said there are three ways in which the Spur could be run: the Spur would not sell alcohol; alcohol would be sold, but only students of legal aae could enter; or all students could enter, but only those of legal age would be served alcohol. "Of course, the last solution would create problems with students slipping drinks to under-age friends," Chandler said. He said USC will host on July 18 a state meeting of student affairs professionals from public and private institutions to discuss a uniform approach to the enforcement problem. A student profile will be made of full-time undergraduates in residence hallc tn finH r?nt how manv will be able to drink legally next year, according to Pruitt. He said student affairs will look at the other 23 states that have made the drinking-age transition, and USC's own alcohol policies will be reexamined.
