LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADE~, LEXINGTON, KY., SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1988 Panel backs some drinking in UK dorms pn_iversity of Kentucky students who are 21 or older won a pre!~ round yesterday in obtaining the right to drink alcohol in dormitory rooms. UK's Alcohol and Drug Advisory Council voted 6-5 to recom­ mend to the administration that older students be allowed to drink in dormitory rooms. . UK now has an unwritten policy that prohibits alcohol consump- tion in any public facility, regardless of a person's age. • .UK officials. said that about 90 percent of students living in residence halls were under 21. . 9reg Wilborn, the only student committee member who voted agamst the more permissive policy, said more alcohol on campus could lead to trouble. The committee's proposal still needs the approval of the board of trustees and UK's chancellor for the Lexington campus. Last year, Chancellor Art Gallaher vetoed the same recommenda­ tion from another committee that had researched the issue. THE€0_URIER.JOURNAL, ~UNCAYrMARCl'l,27; ·1988
