%ice President for Business and Finance
Te rv R Tubbs told the Trustees that
CMU's rates are third lowest of Michi-
Iran's 12 state-supported schools.;. Rate
| uicreases andmeal plan options were de-
] cided after consultation with members of
' the Residence Hall Advisory Committee.
*   "Members    of   the   Residence   Hall
-Assembly (RHA) were very instrumental
'in helping us get this together^ Said
Tubbs.   "We received good," continued
input from RHA President Larry Hembroff
Trustee James M. Umphrey of Bad
Axe presented a resolution honoring Rose,
a CMU staff member since 1937, and
proclaimed that Rose is "a man of honor,
energy  and  professional  competence."
"The Board of Trustees, in behalf of
the University community, express their
gratitude and extend Emeritus rank, to
Daniel P. Rose effective January 1,1973."
The motion passed unanimously.
In other business, the Trustees gave
final approval to an authorization of a
$7,125,000    bond   issue   for   financing
residence halls.     They also gave final
approval to authorization for a term loan
of $125,000, secured by the pledge of net
revenue from Preston Court Apartments.
Both authorizations were basically completed at the Board's February session,
. and final approval, Wednesday, was given
unanimously.
A new policy regarding nepotism (favoritism in employment shown to a relative)
was again tableed by the Trustees. Administrators said they were not yet able to
offer a recommendation since persons
working on the policy have not reached
a Consensus-as to what form the policy
should take. The matter wfl.1 again be
discussed at the Board of Trustees' April
meeting.
In a rare action, Board members defeated a presidential recommendation to
establish travel allowances by administrative directive. CMU President William
B. Boyd would have been given authorization to set differeing travel allowances
without taking those actions to the Board
each time.
Trustee Lloyd M. Cofer of Detroit said,
"I believe this is a matter which should
be taken to the Board. To my knowledge,
these rates have been changed only two
or three times in the past, and those were
no great chore."
Umphrey added, "This doesn't come up
enough  to be a real (time consuming)

Many people predicted the beginning

John McAuliffe, DPS director, denies
stating this.   "Possibly someone else in
the department did, I don't know," he
said."
According to McAuliffe,   Public Safety
McAuliffe feels the only large scale
of drugs on campus was resolved earlier
this semester when the department confiscated 13 pounds of marijuana.
He also said a large percent of information regarding drugs is obtained
from all segments of the community in-
Publi'c Safety reports show a slight
increase in car accidents involving 18 to
21-year-olds. McAuliffe stated it is too
soon to know if the lowered drinking age
will also show an increase in disorderly
conduct cases.
Lyn Wooldrige, Carey Hall, head resident, stresses to students that "for every

set the consequences for their own
actions."
