Because an estimated $15,000
will be needed to restore costs
of last semesters damages and
losses in public areas of residence halls the Residence Hall
Assembly has formed ^Damage
Control Board to account for the
loss.
Recently the board passed a
rule stating that dorm damage
must be paid for by the residents of that dorm, unless it
can be proved that an 'outsider*
was responsible.
^ Other policies and procedures
of the Damage Control Board
are as follows:
"J-     In each residence hall
complete  damage,  health,   and
15 £ reports ^all »e made
ana ftied on a regular basis at
we beginning and end of each
semester, and by the first of
each month while Masses are

will be charged;
4. Individual students will be
charged for the use of public
property of the residence hall
that is found in the student rooms.
5. When damages are charged
to students, the amount will be
charged against the housing deposit. If the housing deposit
is inadequate to cover the amount,
the student will be billed directly by the University.
6. The Control Board will
publicize damages by regularly
posting amounts of damage and
charges.
7. The Control Board shall
consist of from three to seven
members selected by the RA's
of the residence hall and approved by that hall's Dorm Council.
8. For the duration of the
Spring 1971 semester, revised
Residence Hall Damage Reports
shall be forwarded to the Director of Housing Operations and to
the Chairman of the Residence
Hall Assembly on a regular basis. These reports shall become
due by Feb. 8, Feb. 22, March

" 9. The Damage Control Board
shall work in addition to, but
separate from the individual
Dorm Courts. Appeals may be
sent to the. Dorm Court, which
shall make the final decision.
10. Student cooperation must
be encouraged at all times to
keep damage at a minimum and
to prevent the unnecessary assignment of fines to dorm residents.
A student kidded Phelps that he
needed something extra special
to get a person to register for
any physics classes, which
brought   about the bright idea.
STAMPS FOR CLASSES ?
Why not offer a "Special Today—Double Green Stamps" to
anyone brave enough to enroll in
15 or more hours of physics,
Phelps thought. A sign was raised
and the sale was on!
Later Jane Giorgio, a graduate
• student in physics registered for
classes. She needed 15 hours,
no other courses were available,
read the sign and decided, why
not?
Even though he was happy,
Phelps wondered if he could fulfill his end of the bargain, so he
wrote to Fredrick Collins, president of The Sperry and Hutchinson Company (S & H Green
Stamps) and stated his dilema.
He wrote: "Would you believe that one of our coeds, Miss
Jane Giorgio, called my bluff!
She enrolled for 15 credit hours
in physics, all at the graduate
level.
I.O.U. 480 STAMPS
"Figuring that a three-hour
class meets for 16 weeks (or
48 times per semester) I owe
Jane 96 Green Stamps per class
or 480 stamps altogether. Is
there any chance you could help
me get my foot out of my mouth?"
Immediately Phelps received a
reply from Collins: "I'm distressed to note that your offer
only drew one student. The only
reason that I can imagine is that
you were somewhat penurious.
Personally, 480 books of stamps
wouldn't get me to take 15 hours
of physics.

Eight, hour-long specials on
drug abuse are going to be telecast this month by WCMU TV-
14 as part of a nationwide program of the Public Broadcasting
Service (PBS). TV-14 will present two parts of the series each
week, the first being shown tonight at 10 p.m.
The series, entitled "The
Turned On Crisis," has been
designed to examine the "hows
and whys of drug abuse." According to Monte Higgins, TV-
14 program director," <The
TurnedOn Crisis' is the first
attempt by a mass disseminator
(broadcasting) to look at the whole
spectrum of the issue."
Higgins added, "We're really
very excited about the series;
we've put a lot of time and money
into promotion for it." The
month-long series is addressed
not just to parents, children,
or students, but to everyone.
"This is another attempt to
bridge the generation gap *' Higgins said.
Individual programs will feature authorities and personalities
from various fields including the
U.S. Surgeon General, O.J.
Simpson, David Susskind and
R.B. Greaves.
Each segment devotes the hour
to a particular aspect of the
drug issue. For example, "To
Keep It You Have To Give It
Away" explores the distinct approaches of drug rehabilitation
centers operating throughout the
U.S. Another segment, "The
Shade of a Toothpick" will examine the high school drug prevention programs begun in many
U.S. cities.
Dr. Carl Rogers, a noted
psychologist, begins the series
tonight with "Because That's My
Way," an edited version of his
16-hour encounter session on
drugs with 10 persons involved
in the "drug culture."
According to Higgins, TV-14
will produce two programs lo
cally in conjunction with the
national series. The first will
be aired tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Entitled "The TurnedOn Crisis—
The Local Problem," the program deals with possible drug
abuse problems in the Mt. Pleasant area. Students, school administrators, and businessmen
are some of the planned participants for the show.
As a follow-up to the series,
TV-14 will telecast a special
March 1 entitled "The TurnedOn
Crisis—Reactions." Persons
from several areas including
medical authorities and students
will discus the series, its possible effects and what drug abuse
programs are available in the
local community, Higgins said.
"The TurnedOn Crisis" is the
initial step of a three-part program aimed at increasing public
awareness of drug abuse. The
second series, "Because We
Care," will be directed toward
educators on all levels of the
school system. The final segment, "Nobody But Yourself,"
will be aimed at the junior high
student and is still in the planning
stage.
Pamphlets on the issues examined in the series and others
have been prepared by PBS and
will be available at the TV-14
office.
Delta Zetas
install officers
The 1971-72 executive officers
of Delta Zeta sorority will be
installed at 7 p.m. tonight during
a formal installation ceremony
at the campus Religious Center.
*
Mrs. Leslie Fredrick, Province Collegiate Director, will
be attending the affair as an
honorary guest.
Tradition at each installation
ceremony calls for each sorority
member to be attired in white
dress and shoes. Also, each incoming officer is presented with
a red rose, the sorority's national flower.

OLD   MAN  WEATHER   is showing little mercy lately, as
is indicated by this coed braving the sub-zero temperatures.    Along with the cold, officials predict   four inches
of snow will blanket the Mt, Pleasant area before Wednesday. (LIFE photo by Denny Hart)
