Policies Altered
Representatives "of the University Housing
Committee and student government approved
a liberalized open house policy for dormitories
and off-campus approved housing in a Friday
meeting. -__,...
New Policy Establishes
The policy adopted establishes that the visitations be limited to no more than three per week,
men visitors must register at the desk when visiting women's dormitories, visitation periods must
end 15 minutes prior to the closing hour of
women's residence halls and the rights of all students must be respected.
Candidates Face
Press Conference
Chances are slim that Central's presidential
candidates will openly debate platform issues
unless organized and spurred on by outside
forces.
According to the four candidates, Tim Fallon,
John Fraker, Lou Oats and Bill Willett, each is
willing to take part in a face to face confrontation
concerning campus issues but none want to take
the time to organize the debate.
Students, however, will have the opportunity
to hear the candidates' views on issues at Life's
annual press conference tomorrow night at 7 in
127 Pearce.
Life staff members will quiz candidates for an
hour, followed by an opportunity for any questions
from the audience.
Fallon, Mt. Pleasant sophomore, said he made
an initial attempt to organize a debate but failed
to find an available room. Fallon said, "Lou Oats
and I had one set for the 12th, but the room we
had planned to use was given to another group.
That was the only time Lou had available. I'd
still like to see a debate if an organization would
push it. One person can't coordinate the schedules
of all four candidates."
Fraker, Saginaw senior, remarked, "I'd be interested if the others wanted to debate, but I'm
really not that enthused. However, I don't think
it would be wise to undertake such a move until
after Wednesday when all our platforms will be
made known."
"It's a good chance for free publicity," said
Willett, Garden City sophomore. "What we'd probably try to do would be to bring out the academic
issues and work around to the area of student
services. I'd definitely go along with it if the other
three decide to carry it out."
"The idea of a debate doesn't phase me in the
least," commented Oats, Saginaw junior. "I'd like
to discuss curriculum changes, course evaluation
and student' government revision, but I really don't
care if they do, and I don't care if they don't. I'll
go along with it either way."
The new ruling also makes each dormitory
autonymous in formulating other policies governing open house periods. Each hall council must
assume the responsibility for administering their
own policies. The only stipulation made in the
ruling is the majority of residents must approve
the procedures before they are implemented.
The ruling requires the open houses to be
listed on' the University calendar and the residence
hall courts deal with violators of the individual
dormitory policy.
The Housing Committee and representatives of
student government also made three recommendations to help the residence halls formulate their
own policies.
They suggested a guest of the opposite sex to be
accompanied by the host or hostess, to and from
the public reception area, the supervision in residence halls' be assumed by members of the council
and the staff and in off-campus housing supervision be assumed by the householder and the
residents.
Dormitory Implements Policy
So far the only dormitory to implement the
new policy is Barnard Hall. The hall held an open
house from 2 p.m. until 1:45 a.m. on Friday and'
Saturday nights and from 2 p.m. until 11:45 p.m.
on Sunday evening. Mrs. Alline Cook, resident
advisor, said the dormitory council will meet
Wednesday night to decide whether to continue
the same hours every weekend.
Student Senate passed a similar resolution in
its Feb. 17 meeting.
Variety of Activities Presented
Through AWS Womens Week
il
An open forum designed to present ideas
of the campus relationship between the black
and white student will be sponsored tonight
from 7 to 9 p.m. in Brooks auditorium.
Men have taken the back seat to their better
halves this week as the fourth annual Women's
Week, sponsored by Associated Women Students (AWS) continues today through Sunday
with a theme of "Reach out for Reality.'
Today's events feature a bridal fair and show
and tomorrow an awareness poll will be taken in
the women's residence halls to seek information
concerning what Central's coeds are interested in.
The movie "The War Game," will also be shown, in
Warriner Hall on Wednesday night.
Social Deviancy Panel
A panel discussion on social deviancy will be
presented Thursday, at 8 p.m. in 128. Pearce.
Titled "The Harsh Reality," the panel hopes to
bring out the areas of deviancy among students
at CMU. "Deviancy is pushed into a corner here,
especially concerning drugs," according to Cindy
Dewey, Glynco, Ga. sophomore and one of the
panel's discussion leaders.
Debbie Dok, Lowell junior, is the other discussion leader and she will present Allen Liska,
sociology instructor, who will give a general overview of social deviancy.
Discussion on Prostitution
Nanette Davis, also in sociology, will discuss
prostitution in the United States and Donald Kilbourn will speak on the drug aspect of deviancy.
Rev. Malcolm Brown of the First Presbyterian
Church of Mt. Pleasant will discuss religious attitudes of social deviancy.
"Reach Out" coffee house, run by AWS, will be
in the University Center cafeteria Friday from 8
to 11 p.m.
According to Linda Daly, Midland sophomore,
what AWS is trying to do is create a mood in the
•coffee house. Psychedelic music, folk singers, dancers, student art work on display and dramatic
readings are a|l part of the entertainment. Low
tables, dim lighting and soft drinks also hejp
create the mood. The coffee house will be open
to any age group.
Spring  Fashion  Preview
Spring fashions will be'highlighted at a "Carnival of Fashions," a preview of the latest spring
fashions Saturday at 2 p.m. in Warriner Auditorium.
Mrs. Jean Mayhew, associate professor of
speech, will act as commentator introducing each
of the models. The models will be 13 of Central's
coeds and eight Central men. They will be modeling clothes suitable for any time of the day, morning through evening.
Oren's, Gittleman's, Guys n' Dolls, Ken's and
Lloyd's have all supplied fashions for the style
show. Wanda's and the Campus Salon are supplying wigs, falls and hair styles for the models.
ays No Cuts in Fees in Older Dorms
J

by BARREL EMERSON
Life Staff Writer
Older dormitories on campus will not be
given a lower rate in room and, board fees
Barnard Hall residents learned last, week.:
It was just one of many topics, however, that
the men discussed with theirdinner guest speaker,
President William B. Boyd. " ■
He said that the housing office felt "differential
rates would have an unhealthy effect, giving the
appearance of affluent dorms and cut-rate dorms.
Boyd also said it would probably be-necessary to ,-.
increase the costs of some dorms to compensate ■-
for the lower cost of others.-""
The new calendar was also a topic of discussion. Boyd said that the calendar has been ap-
psoved and the big problem now is when it will
go into effect. Although he said student government would like to see the new calendar gc> into
effect next Ml, he felt that this would probably
not be possible. *   . . .
He felt that the new calendar is a great improvement over the present one, especially Jne,
elimination of the "lame-duck" period after Christmas, which lie called "educationally disastrous.
Some students expressed concern over the possibility of a tuition increase next year, but Boyd
stressed that this was very unlikely. He said that
there would be only two reasons why it would be
raised. One would be, if the state legislature required a separate fee be assessed to students if
the new domed stadium is approved. He doubted
that this would happen.
The other .reason would be if student government, asked for an increase, to add to the student
government budget. Boyd said that could only be
done if it were approved by the student body.
When asked what he expected from CMU students, Boyd responded, "I would like to see a
student body committed to either intellectual development or professional development. And I
Would like to see mature behavior." He said he
didn't care what pattern this behavior fell in, "as
long as it is adult."
Boyd said that he felt discussions of this type
were very useful. He added' that all school assemblies of this nature, with various administrators
participating, would be helpful "to keep resentments from Being hi&den."
The annual AWS candlelight installation breakfast will be held Sunday at 8:30 a.m. in the University Center Ballroom. The installation marks
the   beginning   of   the   new   executive   council's
duties.
Linda Flink, AWS president, will begin the
ceremony by installing the new president, Mary Jo
Staples, Detroit junior.
The new executive council, dorm presidents,
board chairmen, Student Senate represntatives and
the International Associated Women Students' representatives will then be installed by the retiring
officers.
Officers and Duties
Newly installed officers will be Mary Rutherford, first vice president; Cindy Dewey, second
vice president; Carol Wait, corresponding secretary; Sue Gresham, recording secretary and Barb
Stevenson, treasurer.
"The installation is very impressive and we
hope it will give everyone a good feeling for the
coming year,"   said Linda Mullarkey,  breakfast
chairman. -s        '
Entertainment for the ceremony, will be provided by Jane Heft, Greenville freshman and
Sandy Redder, Allen Park senior.
The breakfast is free of charge to any woman
students and reservations may be made in all-
women resident halls and outside the UC Reservation.
