Acting en the AWS resolutions, the Executive Housing
Council has decided to send
out questionnaires to every
woman living in dorms. The
questionnaire will state the
resolution and ask whether or
not the women are in favor of
it.

The American Chemical Society, the largest group of scientists in the world, has voted
to accept CMU's chemistry department for membership. The
chemistry department is the
only department on campus
that belongs to a national organization.
"I think this is the most outstanding accomplishment of
the (chemistry) department in
years," says Dr. Malcolm Fil-
son, chemistry department
chairman. "Now we will be
recognized by the major uni
versities and industries for
having an outstanding chemistry department," he continued,
Before a college or university can be accepted into membership by the Society, it must
have a major percentage of the
chemistry professors holding
Ph.D.'s, have certain chemistry
books in the library and have
up-to-date teaching standards.
Another requirement is that
the department have an unofficial affilate chapter started
before membership acceptance.
Um Johnson Is Morgan
leadership Award Winner
John H. Johnson, Mount
IPleasan* junior, has been seated recipient of the annual
IDavid H. Morgan Leadership
(ward at Central.
Johnson was selected by a
student-faculty committee to
receive the award which annually goes to the sophomore
w Junior who has best dis-
j%ed "true and sustained
pdership" in campus activi-
'les. Recipients must also
haye a grade average of "B"
or better.
Johnson, a graduate of
Jount Pleasant Sacred Heart
Academy, served as vice present of Central's student body
on numerous committees at
Central, including the President's Advisory Council.
Johnson, who was a candidate for the student body presidency, plans to go to law
school after graduation.
Johnson is a political science
major and speech minor of a
liberal arts curriculum with a
grade point average of 3.5.
J. M. Howard. A.C.S. Committee on Professional Training secretary, said in a letter
to President Judson W. Foust,
"Your students who have majored in chemistry and who
have fulfilled the minimum requirements for professional education as adopted by the Society, are eligible for admission as members of the Society following graduation and
after two years of experience
in the field of chemistry."
"ACS is the largest such organization in the world and its
recognition is highly coveted,"
Said Filson.
Central now has more than
70 students majoring in chemistry and some 160 working
toward chemistry minors.
CMU. Alma College, Wayne
State University, Albion College and Western Michigan
University are the only schools
in Michigan that fulfill the Society's membership requirements.
aid. tne response was
good, but she does not feel
that the response will be as
great if a questionnaire is sent
to every woman.
Student S e n at e. however.
after a 45 minute debate Monday night, passed a resolution
which asked for a change involving women with an accumulation of 55 hours.
Senate was divided in opinion on whether or not the
women on Central's campus
w ere interested enough to
have their hours changed and
whether or not the recommendation should call for the complete abolishment of all hours.
Senator Bob Houtrow. who
introduced the resolution, says
that he has asked himself the
question, "Why cannot women
students go out for a walk at
2 a.m. or for a breath of fresh
air or a cup of coffee?" He said
that he has not received adequate answers to this question.
Houtrow said the response
from Lee Polley. director of
housing, was, "Women are the
weaker sex."
Houtrow asserts that a woman walking home at 12:50 p.m.
can also be attacked.
"Possibly a woman shouldn't
be walking the streets at 2
a.m.. but I contend that this is
her own decision." Houtrow
said.
Polley, Executive Housing
Council chairman, said he objects to the one hour difference on Sundays because of
health reasons. He says since
dorms will close an hour later,
students will be tired for their
Monday meriting classes. He
claims that this is one of the
reasons for the ntononucleous
cases that the health center is
dealing with now.
Citing another reason why
he was not in favor of the proposed change in hours. Polley
said. "Every student ought to
feel that somebody cares. If
we would say girls could come
in when they wanted to. that
would mean we didn't care.
We feel a responsibility."
Michelle Gnmaldi. AWS up-
perclass representative, said
tke abolishment of hours
should be done gradually, and
the opinion of parents should
be taken into consideration.
Gene Ragland. student body
president charged that the
women were brainwashed. He
said they don't challenge or
question the rules: they cannot see what they need.

Central has received a grant
of $170,983 from the Educational Television program of
the United States Office of
Health, Education and Welfare
for the purchase of transmission and production equipment to activate Channel 14.
Total amount of money
raised by the University and
the Federal grant totals $263,-
000. This money will be used
to begin televising from the
University's new UHF Station.
It is hoped that the University
will be telecasting approximately five hours a day by the
first of the year, according to
Dr. Wilbur E. Moore, vice
president of academic affairs,
under whose general area of
responsibility the telecasting
will be done.
Studios for the new channel
will be located in the ground
floor of Anspach Hall. Telecasting is expected to be carried over a 30-mile radius.
The new station is expected
to carry some of the educational programs that originated
at CMU and have been carried
by area commercial television
stations, as well as community
type programs, possibly a tie
into local commercial stations
by relays, educational programs for credit and general
university programs.
Some  of the more specific
types of programs planned include university reports, music, drama, concerts, art, athletics, speech, science and history. The nature of some of
the area or community type of
programs include those dealing with social security, agriculture, soil, farm bureau and
community reports.
Much of the money raised
by the University as matching
funds have come from the
Alumni and friends of the University in the form of donations and gifts. The TV antenna was a gift of the Ger-
r i t y Broadcasting Company
and local oil trucking transported it to the CMU campus.
