SEglONj^AGEM|ILA^ 15, 19M MCHS students score high in commercial meet ^general News Defer action to allow liquor on MCC campus 50 YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Feb. 22, 1934) Grant High School of Fox Lake held an invitational commercial meet between five of the surrounding schools, The McHenry County College Board of Trustees recently tabled a policy dealing with the proposed sale and service of liquor on campus. In a Springfield legislative session, the Liquor Control Act of 1934 was amended to allow the service and sale of liquor on Illinois community college campuses if approved by the district boards. "It came as quite a surpf for us," MCC President Robert Bartlett said. "This board must take independent action on this so there is a local policy established, otherwise the general bill would take precedent." Trustee William Ryan noted: "The thing that happens is if a group of students decides they're going to serve beer in here, you can't stop them. You can't stop them because the board has no policy." The proposed policy restricted the sale or service of liquor on the college campus to specific activities involving the MCC Foundation or board. Bartlett stressed that such events would be held after college hours and must first receive board ap­ proval. The advantage from such a policy would allow these groups to avoid the expense of holding events with liquor off campus, Bartlett said. "It is conceivable the board will never approve this item", MCC Chairman David Murphy said. "I can't really visualize having many functions at all." TWICE TOLD TALES Edited years^gone including Grant, Warren, Barrington, McHenry and Wauconda.
