This unprecedented action was the result of an announcement made December 20 by the Corporation that it would apply for licenses permitting the sale of malt beverages in the Houses. The Corporation's decision to apply for licenses followed long agitation that began last April when the 3.2 beer bill was passed and continued through to its climax some weeks ago when several students brought wine into the dining halls and some Houses voted in favor of having beer served...

In this connection, it should be noted that the requirement that malt beverages be served only at tables reserved for persons over 21 will exclude a large number of the undergraduates from the privileges of the license.
