A St. Clair Shores sophomore
was arrested yesterday afternoon,
by the CMU Department of Public
Safety and arraigned on charges .
of possession of marijuana.
Barbara Occhlpinti, a 19 year
old resident of Calkins Hall,
stood mute at her arraignment in
district court. Her examination
was scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on
Nov. 26. She is held on $1,000
bond.
Miss Occhipinti. was arrested
at 2:15 p.m. yesterday as she was
walking, .along the 1000 block of
Mission Avenue. She was carrying with her what is being described by officials as a'"quantity
of marijuana."...
Further details on the arrest
were not released except the fact
that officials knew she had left
the dormitory.
The arrest of Miss Occipinti
marks the third on campus this
semester.
The first, in early September,
was a non-student from Grand
Blanc who was charged with sale,
and possession of marjiuana.
The second was of Deborah
Robinson, a senior from Ann
Arbor, who was charged with the
sale and possession of a dangerous drug. She was arrested when
two students were taken to the
health center and were diagnosed
to be having ill effects of the
drug LSD. The two told police
where they purchased the drug,
and* the arrest of Miss Robinson
followed.
President William B.Boyd said
after, the second arrest that students found to be experimenting
with drugs would be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.
Boyd added he "did not accept
the view that drug use on campus
should be beyond the pale of
authority."
President Boyd said,he was
basing his decision Oh the conviction, ,<;that such persons represent a serious threat to the

An _ obscure state law, which
. was discovered during the Tenant's Union case at the Forum,
resulted in the passage of a
resolution by Student Senate Mon-
. day night, asking for the investigation of the University 55
hour housing policy.
John. Fraker, Forum senator
and author of the resolution, said
"the unemancipated minors state
law gave the responsibility for
student housing to the parents.
Students should live where their
parents provide for them to live."
The state law is in conflict
with the University housing policy,
according to Fraker. The present University policy requires a
student to have 55 hours, of credit or to be 21 years of age before moving to unapproved hous-,
ing.
• The resolution was sent to the
Student Policy Committee for
proper study.
In other action, Jackie Kling,
District 2 senator, asked Senate to allocate $200 to the Ko-

According to Boyd, ;«Any stu-
. dents who are involved in drug
use and feel the need for help
in coping with this problem can
find it On a cc_tfidential basis
through the Health Service or
the Counseling Center.. Their
records are privileged under law
and in academic practice."
Advisory

The Rules Committee, which is
to work as an advisory to President Boyd, is now in operation.
According to C. Milton Pike
dean of students, the committee
, consists of five faculty members, one graduate Undent who
is also a staff member and six
undergraduates. JohnYantis, instructor in secondary education,
was appointed chaiiinan of the
group.
The duties of the group are
-review standards of eandact, recommend additional rales and
give opinions on inteipareta&on of
rules or their application to students. -     •
Although they aire drafting new
rules at the moment, Pike says
their main function is to contin-
jually revise rules to fulfill future needs.
The committee wifl also be re-

already been designated* to the
Korean Orphanage in the budget,
but had not been approved.
The orphanage, Miss Kling said
"really needs the money." The
orphanage drive, conducted last
week, did not make enough money   sponsible for public hearings on
for it to operate Miss Kling added.
Lou Oates, student body president opposed the donation saying, "There is no need for student government to give money
this year. It is not for student
government to support the Korean
Orphanage."
Student Senate however, approved the $SM aUoeettoa.

were taken from codes of other
schools.
