Commission
finds tavern
by JULIE MORRISON
LIFE Ass't. News Editor
A recent investigation of area bars by the
Michigan Liquor Control Commission may
make it more difficult for students under 21
years of age to buy alcoholic drinks.
The LCC visited several establishments
Tuesday and, according to an official,
violations of the state's higher drinking age
were found.
"We've had some attention brought to the
area by articles in the campus newspaper
and we've had calls from some people
wondering    why    we    weren't    doing
something," Ronald Gill, LCC district
supervisor for Compliance in Education,
said. "We look for violations of drinking
laws, especially involving minors. "We did
(find some violations in Mount Pleasant)."
Gill said a violation report will be filed
with the commission. He said no details of
the investigation will be released until it is
decided if formal charges will be filed
against the alleged violators.
Dennis Hybarger, of the LCC Hearing
Division, said results of such an investigation are turned over to the state
Attorney General's office, which decides if
charges, and which ones, should be filed
against an establishment. He said the LCC
Hearing Division will then hear the facts of
the case and levy a penalty.
"There is no set penalty," Hybarger said.
"The fees set by law can be $300 monetary
fine per count, suspension of the operating
license for a certain amount of time, complete revocation of the license or any
combination of these."
Hybarger also said an alleged violator can
acknowledge charges and waive the right to
a trial. He said the fine would be set then.
A spokesman for the Attorney General's
office would not comment on the Mount
Pleasant investigation.
"Our policy is not to release any details

Board will okay
tentative FA pact
byTOMMcEACHIN
LIFE Ass't. News Editor
CMU's Board of Trustees authorized the
ratification of the tentative contract agreement
between CMU and the Faculty Association.
At its monthly meeting Wednesday, the Board
passed a resolution which allow President Harold
Abel to sign the agreement, pending ratification
by the FA.
The FA requested to re-open negotiations on
its current contract at last month's board
meeting. Negotiations involved economic issues
only.
A tentative agreement was reached Tuesday,
but details will not be released until FA members
have a chance to vote on the pact.
If FA approves the pact, Abel is authorized to
sign it.
The Board also authorized the University to
enter into similar negotiations with other employee groups.
The resolution gives the clerical, public safety,
and maintenance and food service bargaining
units the authority to make requests similar to
that of FA's.
The bargaining requests, however, must be
made in time for the administration to make a
recommendation on the request to the Board at
the Nov. 28 Trustee meeting.
In other Trustee action, Barry Munitz, the
newly-hired administration evaluator, gave a
report to the Board and answered its questions on
the upcoming evaluation.
Munitz said he would meet individually with
top administrators and Board members, and
make his report in 60 to 90 days. The report will
be made public, he said.
The Board also heard recommendations from
its Finance Committee. The committee recommended acceptance of the 1978-79 audit report,
and to continue with Ernst and Whinney as
auditor through this fiscal year ending June 30,
1980.
The Board approved both recommendations,
and also approved the 1979-80 Residences and
Auxiliary Services budget.
In other action, the Board:
— paid memorial tribute to former CMU
president Judson W. Foust with a resolution.
— heard a report on the agri-business day
schedule for Nov. 10. CMU has invited 25 families
of area leaders in the farm business to campus to
attend a 9 a.m. briefing on the University, an 11
a.m. luncheon and the 1:30 p.m. CMU football
game against Eastern Michigan.
—rescheduled their next meeting for Nov. 28.
The Board normally meets the third Wednesday of each month, but moved this meeting
back a week due to Thanksgiving vacation.
Input welcome from all
Study objectives set
byTOMMcEACHIN
LIFE Ass't. News Editor
CMU's newly-hired administrative evaluator met
Wednesday with the Board of
Trustees and other top administrators.
Barry Munitz, University of
Houston chancellor, spoke about
the objectives and the
framework of the evaluation at
the Trustees' monthly meeting.
The evaluation will begin with
private interviews with Board
members, the provost, the
president, the. vice presidents
and other top administrators, as
determined by President Harold
Abel, Munitz said.
"We do not have a detailed
questionnaire. We stick to
general questions and personal
conversations to get a flavor of
what is going on," Munitz said.
"Every conversation is in
strict confidence," he added.
In addition to interviews with
administrators, Munitz said
faculty and student input also is
important.
Munitz said he will meet with
official faculty representatives,
but also will meet with anyone
wishing to speak with him.
"No one will be refused access. We will tell them where I
will be and when I will be there,"
he said.
When Munitz speaks with
administrators, he said he will
ask them "where they are going
and how well they think they are
getting there."
Munitz said his duties do not
include determining what
direction the University is going
in, but simply to see if all administrators are going in the
same direction. And from this,
an agenda of presidential goals
will be formed.
Through all of the individual
interviews, Munitz will focus
almost exclusively on how the
roll of the president can be
strengthened.
"The results will not be long
and detailed, but will put a
handle on the situation to give
the president an agenda for the
next few years," Munitz said.
Abel added, "I am looking for
some comments on my strengths
and weaknesses.
"After five years it is time to
look at where we are coming
from and where we are going. It
is a good time because we are all
working together," he added.
In addition to strengthening
the role of the president, Munitz
said he has two other goals - to
clarify the role of the Board and
improve interaction between
the administration and the
Board.
Munitz also said he will spend
some time looking at the
structure and organization of
the vice presidential duties.
But one thing Munitz said he
will not do is define the role of
the University.
Trustee James Umphrey ask
Munitz to "take a look at the role
of the University and give us an
external definition of what the
University stands for."
Munitz responded, "That is
one thing I will not do, because
