THE FIRST OF President William Boyd's informal question
and answer sessions with Student Senate began Monday, as
Boyd shared with Senators his personal views on ROTC, the
student-events building, tuition hikes, room and board and,
traffic tickets. (LIFE photo by Walt Clements)
Total membership on the Program Board will be increased to
27 due to a resolution passed by
Student Senate Monday night.
The resolution provided for a
chairman and vice-chairman to
be  elected through a general
student body election.   The two
officers would be in addition to
the. present plans for 25 representatives.   Elections are scheduled for  sometime  in April.
Senate tabled a number of resolutions  until later so further
study and research can be done.
Among them was a resolution
by Bill Rassmassen, Forum
senator, to allow any number of
semester hours in a subject area
/to  apply towards the required
124 hours for graduation.
Present University policy
allows no more than 40 hours
in  one  subject area to count
towards graduation, with exceptions in a few curriculums.
The resolution was referred to
the Senate Curriculum Committee and Academic Affairs
Committee who are expected to
report on it in two weeks.
Another tabled resolution, presented by the Student Policy Committee , asked that class attendance no longer be included in
the determination of grades by
instructors o
This resolution was passed
once by Senate last May, but
according to Ron Vibbert,,chairman of the Student Policy Com
mittee, it "was lost somewhere
in Senate."
In other action, Senate failed
to  override a veto by former
Student Body President Lou Oates
last December.   The resolution
would have had CMU remain in
the National Student Association
for one more year, but Senate
failed to give the two-thirds vote
required to override Oates'veto.
The only other Senate action
set elections for representatives
to  Man's Union for next year
for April 14, to be on the ballot
along with the Chippewa Awards.

Rubin speaks MondurA
"Chicago-Seven"  member Jerry Rubin, will speak in    '
Finch Fieldhouse Monday, at 8 p.m.
Rubin, author of a book on Yippie philosophy entitled,
"Do It," is expected to speak on a wide variety of topics
ranging from the draft to his recent trial.
Rubin was one of five convicted last month in the "Chicago
Seven'* trial. He was sentenced by Judge Julius Hoffman
to five years in prison and fined $5,000. The defendants must
also pay court costs which may total $100,000.
Tlie trial, which lasted over seven months, was marked by
frequent protests in the courtroom and around the country.
On the day of his sentencing, Rubin presented Judge Hoffman
with an autographed copy of "Do It" which read, "Julius,
you've done more to destroy the court system in America
than any of us could. . . You're the country's top yippie."
Currently free on bail pending appeal Rubin is traveling the
country giving speeches and trying to raise money for the
Chicago Defense Fund.
The speech is being co-sponsored by Student Government and
