FEBRUARY a. 1*84 Q0n8ral News MCC WITHDRAWS drawing the policy we're acknowledging the fact that there is a large negative feeling against the policy. The policy can be brought back at a Later date," he said. The majority of the board was opposed to allowing the sale of liquor at the college. Trustee Eugene Meyer commented, "This is an educational in­ stitution. You want to have a party someplace, you go someplace else to have a party." Lee Schuppert, however, passed on the motion, indicating that a definite policy was necessary. "There's a great misconception on the part of the general public that we're going to open up a bar or have access to liquor in our student union. That was not our intention." He explained that the college should be open to consider the service of liquor at certain fund raising events, especially those which are held to benefit the college. In other business, the board: ...Tabled for a later meeting the college's policy on tuition fees for senior citizens. A bill recently passed by the state mandates that after July 1, colleges must offer free tuition to students over 65 years old. But Bartlett explained that the law also assumes that the college will put such students on a waiting list until enough -continued from page 1 "paying customers" were signed up to make the class economically feasible. It also gives the school the power to deny such a privilege to seniors who earn more than $12,000 annually. "Since 1976 we have allowed persons 60 and older a tuition reduction. We have not put persons on waiting lists, and we have no intention to study their IRS forms," Bartlett said. "We don't feel we should take away the benefits we have been giving those 60 to 64 years old. I propose that we continue with what we feel was an effective policy, but add to it and still be within the bounds of the legislature." The board voted to place the item on the agenda for the next meeting. ...Approved to the concept of occasional "board retreats." Bartlett said that the boards of many educational institutions occasionally meet in an in­ formal setting to discuss problems and issues. Although the board could not agree on the frequency of meetings or where they should take place, they found it an "excellent idea." "The key to what we're searching for is free and open discussion, where you'll be free, even restricted, from making decisions," Bartlett said.
