New Letter
Received
On Drinking
The State is cracking down
on liquor code violations.
In a letter to University
officials this week, Chairman
Patrick E. Kerwin of the State
Liquor Control Board called
attention to recently-enacted
stiffer penalities for minors
misrepresenting their ages to
obtain alcoholic beverages.
The letter was the second re
ceived this year by the University
on the minor "drinking problem."
' president Eric A. Walker late
In September received a letter
from Gov. George M. Leader
calling for continued vigilance
on the "problem."
Kerwin's letter, notice of which
was released by the University
yesterday, said the. penalty has
been substantially ' stiffened for
minors who represent themselves
to be 21 years old to obtain alco
holic beverages.
It said the last session of the
legislature increased the possible
fine from $5O to $3OO and possible
imprisonment from a maximum
of 60 days to a maximum of six
months.
The violation is classified as a
misdemeanor under Section 675 of
the Penal Code.
Kerwin's • letter was sent to
colleges and universities
throughout The state, as was
Leader's communication.
Leader's letter was a followup
of a similar one sent last year,
urging a crackdown on drinking
by minors.
In reply, Walker said the Uni
versity "will continue to give
careful attention to the problem
of serving of alcoholic beverages
to minors . . ."
Walker said University offi
cials are working closely with
town officials to improve the
situation.
He has said he does not believe
drinking at the University con
stitutes a great problem.
