Students living in unapproved
housing in violation of University
, policy have been notified thatthey
have two weeks to clear themselves" with the Housing Office
or face disciplinary action.
According to Housing Director-Lee Polley, 100 students
received letters informing them
the Housing Office does not
have reasonable., proof which
would allow them to live in their
present housing situations.
Said Polley, ••this iff hot a new
procedure.     .We've done.this
. since the University adopted the
55.hour or 21 year, old policy a
year ago last fall."'
Under this policy a student
must have the 55 hour minimum
* requirement with parental consent to ,move into.unapproved .
housing or be 21 years of age.
names
replacement
Charles D.Alexander has been"
named by President William B.
Boyd to succeed Paul Winger
as director of placement. Alexander , former assistant director of placement at Bowling*
Green University, will assume
his duties here on Nov. 15.
" .-Winger, whose retirement becomes effective at the first of the
year * has been-director of placement here for 12)i years. Win-,
ger announced his retirement so
he could " do the things he hasn't
been" able to do during his teaching and administrative career."
- He said the University may well
be at fault in the cases of many
individuals who have received the
notice. "In some instances a student may have gone to summer
school and not have an up to date
record of credit, as has been
known to happen," he said.
"Also," continued Polley,
••students who transfer do not
always transfer with the number
of hours they had surmised, or
proper, credit may not have been
recorded. In this case we track
it down, thereby doing a service
to the student as well as a point
of clarification for us."
••"However," he said, "ifastu- .
dent carrying 18 hours says he
is commuting from Escanaba, we
do have a tendency to not believe
him.   In this case, we check."
When asked to compare this
year's total of. possible policy
violators Polley said,*"Lastyear
we had four or five, maybe six.
This year we're talking .
in terms of nearly 100." __
"Why are we cracking down,"
asked Polley. "We^ro doing it,
because we feel the students are
losing out on a conceivable
amount of education as well as
not putting Michigan tax monies
to  appropriate  use," he said.
Regarding, the educational
standpoint, he quoted a recent
student housing research study
issued from Southern Florida
which reportedly found that the
majority of college learning does
not come from .classes or pro^
fessors, but from student peer,
groups within dormitories..
Polley added, "Fifty-five does
not mean 53 or 54, it means 55.
Nor does 21 mean anything under.
the  age  of  21.,"
In dealing with the issue concerning tax money he said the
average Michigan taxpayer puts
out   close to $1000 a year for
" every student in this university.
"That money," said Polley," is
. appropriated to give students exactly what they come here for—
an education. If students who
have not had the benefit Of some
dormitory education live off
.campus in order to have a good
"time then the majority of college
learning which is found in the
dorms is lost." ' _ _      Z • —
"In comparison to the 13,000
students on campus it is a minority we are dealing with. How-
. ever, they are breaking University policy which 1 do not make. ;:•:
No matter how much I may. sym-'^
pathize, at the end of the two
weeks the list of those who have
not justified themselves will be
sent to the dean of students for
further disciplinary action;"

A goal of $5,000 has been set for
this year's Korean Orphanage
Drive which begins Monday, and
runs until Nov. 15 according to
Mary Montei, campaign chairman.
Some   contributions have already  been made, with $82.20
collected at a mixer last October said Miss Montei.
CMU students have supported
the orphanage at Mun San for
11 years, and' now also help
support the Korean Martyrs
Children's Home and hospital on
Penayong Island. "
The original Mun San orphanage, according to Miss Montei, receives 97 per cent of it's
support from CMU's students.
They receive $450 per month and
in addition, the students havepro-
vided them with three more acres
of land, a hotel to use as a
dormitory and a truck during,
its 11 years of support.
A letter received by Mips Montei, from Kang A Key, one of
11 staff member* at Mum San
said of CMU, "Every corner
of the orphanage is in one of
your-hands now, like the thirsty
plants wait for a shower." '
"The money we send is their
budget," said Miss Montei, referring to - the 78 children and
staff at Mun San. 	
The Penayong ~ orphanage,
operated by Father Edward Mof-
fett, receives $200 per month.
Miss Montei said Father Moffett
••will never turn anyone away."
The rice bill for the 197 children, says Miss Montei, is all
the $200 per month covers. The
American - Korean Foundation
helps CMU sponsor the program.
In a letter to Miss Montei,
Father Moffett ended it saying,
•1 know no way on earth to convey
the heavy burden of gratitude we
owe each of you from this island
across oceans and half the world
to Central Michigan's campus,
except to assure you that you all
are in our whispered prayers
daily and in our full hearts always.**
In the past 10 years Central
has provided more than $20,000
for the two orphanages according .,
to Miss Montei.
The fund-raising drive is already being anticipated by most
dorms.
Calkins, Ronan, Tate and Trout
Halls are having their annual
"grub"     dinners, charging 25
cents to go to dinner in "grubs."
Beddow is sponsoring a rummage sale, apartment<«cleaning
service, R«A. auction and housemother auction.
Larzelere Hall is having a
slave rental with approximately
150 girls being sold for 50 cents
per hour. A hot dog sale with
Robinson and an R»A. dressup
with a- charge of 10 cents is
also planned.      _. ..__,.-, _   ,
The Vets Club will be sponsor-'
ing its annual greased-pig chase.
The week will be topped off
by the SSAC movie, "A Man for
All Seasons" on Saturday, with
a hat being passed for contributions then.

.The  Vietnam  Moratorium
kegger scheduled for tonight has
been  slightly  changed,     The
Michigan State Police post at
Mt, Pleasant has informed the ...
Moratorium Committee* that they >j:
would  be breaking the law if :•:$
alcoholic beverages were served ■!•!
at the party,   Consequently, no $;
drinking will foe allowed.
•    However, five bands will be
featured along with activities including body painting, wallpaim;-
ing and a raffle.
As most of you know, one of your-feUow students was
recently arrested and charged with the sale of illegal drugs.
Two other students were hospitalized for drug use.
They are — along with a class mate who was-lucky enough
to escape illness — liable to University discipline for an
offense which is a violation of law and of the University
standard of conduct.
Reaction to these cases has exposed the fact that many
students regard drug use as purely a private matter, beyond
legitimate control by the community. As an individual
I-can understand and sympathize with a point of view which
demands maximum personal freedom, but as president of the,
university I feel obligated to speak out on this issue now.
While the dangers of some drugs are arguable, the hazards
of LSD are by now thoroughly documented. < Even within the
drug .culture, a decline in its use has been noted as young
people have come to understand its hazards.
Curiously, a few students on this campus appear to be
experimenting now with a drug that bitter experiences caused
other communities to shun two years ago. I feel compelled to.
repeat a warning against any experimentation with drugs and
to assert that I do not accept the view that drug use on campus"
should be beyond the pale of authority.4... -
Students will be cited under the standard, of conduct for
known use, possession or distribution of illegal drugs. Further,
any student found guilty of the sale of illegal drugs will be
subject to more severe penalties. This position is based upon
a conviction that such persons represent a serious threat to
the welfare of the community.'
Any students who are involved in drug use and feel the need
for help in coping with this problem can find help on a confidential basis through the health service or the counseling
center. Their records are privileged under law and in
academic practice.
