The Palmer-Bush Funeral Home is in charge of By MIKE WAGONER Staff Writer The strongest drink you can get nowadays at Michigan State University's Union Building is either hot coffee, iced tea or chocolate milk.

But there's a bill in the works at the State Legislature that would turn MSU's Union into a campus watering hole serving alcoholic beverages. THE PLAN is to allow MSU and the 12 other state-supported four-year colleges to sell alcohol by the glass at the student union buildings. One of the sponsors. State Rep. H.

Lynn Jondahl, D-East Lansing, said he sees no reason for the ban on selling liquor that now exists on all Michigan college campuses. Jondahl is a member of the House Colleges and Universities Committee that will consider the bill. The new law could be a shot-In-the-arm for MSU's Union, which hasn't been such a popular spot for students to hangout in recent years, according to Michael Dmochowski, building manager. HE HAS favored a new liquor policy since 18 year olds got the right to drink Jan. 1, 1972.

"Let's be realistic," he said. "Students at other colleges in other states have been drinking at their union buildings for years." But, Dmochowski hasn't begun any redecorating to transform MSU's Union grill into a dimly-lit tavern. ANY CHANGE is still a long way off, he said. First the state law would need to be rewritten, then MSU's Board of Trustees would need to OK a liquor policy and, finally, the Union would need to secure a sales license. And MSU administrators have given no indication that they intend to lobby hard on behalf of the proposed bill.

Jondahl said that he believes that the Union Building could sell drinks in its grill and cafeteria, as well as at social gatherings in any of the party and meeting rooms in the building.
