Committee to 'drink' in student comments By BARBARA ADLER Campus News Staff The state Liquor Control Committee, which is looking into a liquor permit for the Commons Dining Hall, will hold a public hearing next Tuesday in the Student Union Ballroom to hear the students' side of the controversial bill. The hearing was arranged by Michael Lawlor, a fourth-semester liberal arts major who had worked on the campaign staff of the. committee's chairman, state Rep. John Giordano, D-East Haven. "I talked to him (Giordano) and he said he was in favor of UConn getting the liquor permit, and I suggested a hearing up here. It's the best thing. Students have a lot to say, and the merchants in the area were the ones raising all the noise in Hartford during the committee hearings," said Lawlor. Inter-Area Residents Council (IARC) Chairman Steven Donen said the hearings will "give the students a chance to say something about the permit. What's important here is whether the opinions of those area businessmen at the previous meetings or the opinions of over 15,000 members of this community will prevail." Frank Napolitano, assistant vice president for student affairs and services, said he could not say what the effect of the hearing would be on the future of the liquor bill, but said he was "glad that the committee is making the effort to come out here. It will give mflre people the opportunity to speak, and the committee will get a chance On tap to see the facility they're talking about."

We thought you should know, since you are the president of this place and since Ella Grasso threw out the letter we sent her first. The reason is because those little pinkos over at FSSO have published faculty evaluation results. Frankly, Glenn, some of us did not do so well. What we are worried about is the fact that if these evaluations are considered seriously think of what it will do in the future when some of us professors want to transfer to a better paying university. I mean Tium really, Glenn, how would the folks at BU or Harvard react to my record when they see that students called me "caustic, boring and dull even with a lampshade on his head."
