Coeds Stage Election Today

AWS Looks
At Hours
With rumors • circulating
about women demonstrating
against women's hours through'
a campus-wide walkout, AWS
will consider a platform concerning women's hours to be
distributed to all co-eds.    ■■>
The council members will
discuss the possibility of liberalization of hours and means
of accomplishing this at tonight's meeting.
Last fall AWS polls and survey board formulated a* poll
to circulate to all women students concerning their feelings
about women's hours. The circulation of this poll was abandoned because the university
housing committee was considering the possibility of 2
a.m. permission for all women
students.
Concerning liberalization of
hcjurs, Dee Boersma, president
of AWS, said, "It has been the
policy of AWS throughout the
years to advocate the liberalization of hours, but not the
complete eliminating."
AWS is responsible for the
12 midnight permission oh
Sunday and 2 a.m. permission
on weekends for those students
over 21.
Miss Boersma believes that
perhaps this is the time to reevaluate women's hours.

disciplinary or otherwise, when the student is
acting as an individual and not. as a representative
of CMU: only where the interests of the University
as an academic community are distinct and clearly
involved should the special authority of the University be asserted."
The recommended, amendment varies from the
original in that actions or offenses committed outside the physical boundaries of the University, by
a student not representing the University, are not„
subject to disciplinary or corrective actions on the
part of the University.
Light Shed on
Orphanage Debt
by .PAMM WEBB
Life Staff Writer .
"   Why was the matter of a debt incuured"
three years ago, now totaling $2,459, only recently brought to  the  attention of Central's
Korean Orphanage Committee?
Light was shed on this and many other questions Tuesday at a special open meeting of the
-  committee.
Corn Sow Song, director of the orphanage, sent
word by way  of Chon Su  Chong, formerly of
Korea and now studying at CMU, to explain the
debt situation to'
the   committee.     ,_^___«_____	
Chong reported
that Song avoided notifying the
committee of the
debt because he
"wanted to try
to settle the debt
alone. He kept it
a secret in order
to save face."
Pamela Sow-
ton, Lapeer senior and chairman
of the committee,
asked Chong
why the budget
did not state anything about the
debt itself. Chong
.reported that he did not know, but again referred
to the idea of saving face.
Evidence has led the committee" to believe, however, that the budgets sent to the committee by
Song in former years, have been fraudulent, as
Song completely avoided the issue of a debt of
any kind.
The committee has decided to postpone paying
the debt until further investigation is conducted.
The original medical report on the young boy
injured in an accident, which is the initial cause
of the debt, is being investigated by a local doctor
to determine its authenticity.
' Song is being contacted, informing him. of the
delay and the gravity of the situation.
Possible Investigation
The American Korean Foundation is being
contacted to see if an investigation can be conducted at the orphanage itself. These procedures
should postpone the decision at least one month.
Two years ago, the committee received a request from Song for $2,000, to buy a hotel next
to the orphanage to be used as sleeping quarters
for the children. According to Chong, no .children
from the, orphanage are living in the hotel. Instead, tourists and the general public stay there
and pay rent.
Chong was asked to estimate how much of -the
money ($450) sent each month was used for the
support of the children and how much of it was
used to pay off the debt. "I would guess about
50-50," reported Chong.
Looking for
Some Changes?
Women's hours and student's
Tights will be the main topics
of discussion at the Open Meeting tomorrow night in Pearce
127 at 8 p.m.
All students, faculty, and administration are invited to attend this the second open

Bill of Rights ancTResponsibil-
ities and other related items.
Rison Not Candidate For April Election
Not
wanting to get in any trouble, Pamm and
At last night's Student Senate meeting, Student Body President Steve Rison announced
that he would not run for re-election in April.
Rison said, "I would like to announce at this
time that I am not now nor will I'be in the futura
a candidate for re-election to the student body
presidency.
"Apparently speculation oh my possible candidacy has caused some to fabricate my motives for
the student rights movement. Tests show political
concerns hamper the gains we are making in
student rights. I find it necessary to make m^r
position in regards to possible re-election clea**'*
