Show THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 1982 VOL. 91 NO. 68 3rs Commission says no Editor courts liquor battle Joan O'Brien Chronicle staff The Utah Liquor Control Commission has refused to amend its advertising regulations toallow beer advertising in col lege and university newspapers, prompt ing t he )fl7y I7 tali Chronicle, which proposed the change, to consider legal action. In its Dec. II meeting the commission voted k Klingaman's editor Patric to Chronicle deny unanimously loses be the The Chronicle that regulation (hanged. request about $15,000 a year in advertising revenue due to the regulation, Klingaman said. Commission chairman Marlin K. Jensen argued thai the regulation has been effective and there was no compelling reason for changing it. Klingaman told the Commission that the regulation had only been effec tive in that it had prevented beer distributors from advertising in the Chronicle. He said it does not adequately shield minors from liquor advertising as it is intended. Minors are already exposed to liquor advertising from other sourc es over whic h the commission hasnoeontrol. by five-memb- er ad spot between 9:30 p.m. For example, a single and 10 p.m. Thursday on Channel 2 reac lies more minors than there are students at the University, he said. Klingaman also argued that the average age of University students is 21. Good Point. Jensen, conceding Klingaman's is a good point, said in a Chronicle telephone interview that the commission felt it necessary to regulate advertising where it could. He said when the regulation was first passed about three years ago the commission felt "the Chronicle was distributed to a readership that was still undecided as to the consumption of alcohol and we wanted to do what wecouldasacommission to help them make that decision in the negative." He said that though beer advertising in college and university newspapers is just "one tiny hole in thedike, it'sonc we can put our finger in and we have." Ac cording to Klingaman, the regulation is more a ban that unfairly targets the Chronicle. In addition, he said it will have difficulty holding up in court if the Chron icle chooses totake action. No reason to change. Jensen told the Chronicle that the commission has consulted the state's attorney general on the matter. "He advised us that we had no legal reason to change our posture.," he said. Klingaman said the Supreme Court ruled in Tinkeri'.s. Des Moines Independent Community School District (196) that students in public schools and universities are emit led to First Amendment protec tion. And a ruling in 1976 stated that even "purely commercial" speech is entitled to First Amendment protec tion, he said. Jensen said those cases are not in point and do not bear on the issue at hand. Though he has not been officially retained, Salt Lake City attorney Donald Purser has discussed the possible case with the Chronicle. He said that though the commission usually acts in gexul faith, in this case they have been overbroad. Enormous leverage. Purser said the 21st Amendment gives the states an enormous amount of leverage in dealing with alcohol except as it relates to interstate trade. This regulation, however, in nudes upon free speech rights. "In essence the state by virtue of this overbroad regulation is restricting to an unlawful point the commercial speech rights of the Chronicle," he said. The regulation as it relates to advertising in student newspapers states. "Any advertisement or promotional sc heme which is primarily or especially appealing to persons under the legal age- for the purchase, possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited. Furthermore, no advertisement or promotional scheme may be placed with any high school, junior high school or grade school, college or university newspaper, or other publication circulated among or designed for a readership substantially composed of high school, junior high school or grade sc hool - age citizens." Compelling intersest. Klingaman has proposed (hat the words college and university be deleted. Purser said the state-haa compelling interest in making a law precluding advertising from junior high and high schools and even junior r institutions. colleges. But at theUnivei sity andother 72 percent of the population is legally able to purchase liquor, he said. To hire an attorney, the Chronicle would have to get approval from its publisher, the University Publications s four-yea- continued on page four Late text requests cause headaches for both U Book Store and students Brian Wilkinson Chronicle staff Your textbook isn't in and you're furious, right?
