UW-Rock Distributes Honors At its second annual honors University of Wisconsin Rock County Campus honored its outstanding teacher of the year, accorded honors for scholastic, artistic and athletic achievements and saw the awarding of three scholarships. Rhett S. Jones, anthropology and sociology teacher was designated its oustanding teacher, while James Leete, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Sam Leete, Spring Hill Drive, was accorded highest academic honors. Receiving scholarships were Barbara Peterson, Sally Wright and Sandra Arneson, all of Janesville. Miss Peterson's award was presented on behalf of the Janesville branch of the American Association of University Women by Mrs. Joseph Branks, branch president.

Presenting a University of Wisconsin Alumni scholarship to Miss Wright was Mrs. Jack Maiin for the Janesville UW Alumni Association Miss Ar- Judge Upholds Law on Minors Drinking Leete A Janesville city ordinance restricting druiking by minors has been upheld in Circuit Court despite arguments by the attorney for a local tavern owner that it is invalid because it conflicts with the state law. The ruling stemmed from a July 24, 1967, charge by city police against Titeodore W. Campbell allegng that a youth under the age of 21 was served beer at Campbell's Tavern on Milton Avenue. The case was moved up to Circuit Court from County Court 2 after a jury trial was requested by James T.

Conway, Edgerton attorney for the defendant. Trial is still pending. The ruling by Judge Arthur L. Luebke was on a motion to dismiss the city diarge. Judge Luebke rejected the motioi paving the way for trial.

Conway informed the Gazette this morning he would like to appeal the case to the Wisconsin Supreme Court if his client is found guilty after trial. "nie city ordinance at issue is 21.102. It restricts serving minors alcoholic beverages in city taverns or package liquor stores. Judge Luebke handed down the decision Monday but it wasn't released to the press until today following notification of the attorneys, Conway and Nicholas P. Jones, ant city attorney.

Conway contended to the court the city ordinance is invalid because it goes further than the state statute governing liquor and beer sales. He argued a city law cannot exceed the scope cf a state law. Crux of the issue is wCiether a bartender intentionally sells intoxicating beverages to minors or whether the bar owner or tender was duped by false identification. According to Conway the city's ordinance makes no provision for finding a bartender innocent of selling to minors if ahe did not have the intent to do so. The judge's instructions to the jury will turn on the question at the trial.

Conway believes the issue is vital enough to take to the court if Campbell is found guilty in Janesville. However, he said the cost of an appeal is high, about $1,000. At issue is a 1965 legislative amendment to the state statutes which held that a bar owner could under cerain conditions be found innocent of selling to minors. The condition the legislature set was Utat the name of a patron of whom the bar owner is suspicious but who provides adequate proof of legal age should be written in a log keot by the bar owner. If this was done the state law says this should be accepted as sufficient evidence the bar owner was innocent.

The state law takes the burden of proof of age off the bar owner if proper but possibly bogus identification is shown. The stale law also said municipalities may have stricter laws but these may not exceed the state law's hnpact. Conway alleged Janesviiie's ordinance makes no provision for a bar owner to protect himself from false identification. Iherefore the city law goes beyond the state statute, he argued. It was not indicated wheher Campbell met the state requirement.

Judge Luebke cited a 1964 Racine case similar to the Janesville case in ruling the city's ordinance does not conflict with the state law. neson's award was presented by William Bchling, executive editor of the Beloit Daily News. In addition to Leete, who scored a perfect 4.0 grade honors for having achieved averages ranging between 3.50 and 3.99 and 14 for averages between 3.50 and 3.99 and 14 for averages betw- ee 3.25 and 3.49.

Disputes between counsel arose with the first identification yesterday. A dispute between Fisher and Ruth developed after Peterson had ien- tified Lankford, who was wearing a red shirt. Ruth called it a but Fisher and Smith wanted it called a shirt" or "golf shirt." Finally, Commissioner Grimm told them, "This is nonsense and you gentlemen know it." Thereafter, Ruth Mad Peterson walk from the witness box to the defense table and touch each of the accused as he identified them.

However, when Peterson touched Mrs. Weir, he identified her as "Kathy Helgeson" and when he pointed to Kathy Helgeson he identified her as "Judy Weir." Fisher wanted the tification noted, Ruth insisted that it was he (Ruth) and not the witness that was ed. It was never sure what went on the record, since the court reporter finally told the lawyers she could not get any- thin? in the record "if you 're all going to talk at once."
