responsible people an November 4, 1975, Oxford voters were asked to cast their ballots either for or against the liquor op- tion. The option took the form of the following four questions: 1. Should 6'44; beer, wine, and prepackaged .mixed drinks be sold for off-campus consump- tion? . 2. Should these same beverages be sold in taverns and restaur- ants? 3. Should spiritous liquors lover 2070 alcohoD be sold for off- premises consumption? 4. Should a state liquor store or state agency store sell spirits in Oxford? Despite the pro-Oxford commit- tee's insistent protests that A mark for the option was a mark against Oxford, election returns found that Oxford voters had approved passage of those liquor options which al- lowed package sales. The liquor re- ,ferendum which affected approxi- mately one third of the 14,701 Miami students will bring in a 14 thousand dollar annual increase of revenue to Oxford. ' . Headed by Frank K. Snyder and Larry Smith, the pro-Oxford com- fmittee represented all those against the liquor option. The committee l atieallyt gainst bar, 3 in our town contended that the passage of the liquor referendum would turn Ox- ford into a cross between Ohio Uni- versity and Kent State. One townsperson summed up their Views: Most responsible people are emphatically against taverns and bars for our town. In a community such as Oxford, more emphasis should be placed on learning and less on entertainment. That same Tuesday voters put Ox- ford on the map as the first Ohio town to decriminalize the casual possession of marijuana. Within the boundaries of a mile square, possession of 4 ounces of marijuana is a misdemeanor. The law is analagous to the new state law which creates a distinction for the casual possession of marijuana and limits the penalty to a $100 fine with no prison sentence for any number of similar offenses. It is the arresting officer's decision as to whether the state or local law will 'be enforced. The passage of the marijuana and liquor referendum demonstrates the power of the voters and Oxford's po- tential for change. 4 Franeine Sevel 27

An outsider passing through Ox- ford would inevitably ask the ques- tion Why does anybody go up- town? Freshmen year going uptown is for everyone. In fact the Whole cor- ridor usually goes together. If you're a freshman girl uptown is a great place to meet a guy. If you're a freshman guy its a little harder to meet anybody because the freshmen girls are usually looking for an up- perclassman. Some people go uptown for the Greek Life. A Visit to the Boar's Head, Al 8: Larry's or the Purity Will attest to this. Others go uptown because they want to dance or drink. Unfortu- nately the bars Close at 1:00 p.m. this means last call is at midnight and at 12:00 they start stacking the chairs. After this you can either sit under the water tower or go to Beas- ley's.

ONthUJN V A typical small town -- 3 banks, 2 theatres, a few bars, a few nice restaurants, a vol- unteer fire department, and a water tower. 28
