By Neil Hopp
Life News Editor
"With the recognition that
freedom does not mean license, and further granting
that any social institution
must operate within a scheme
of rules particular to its needs,
I ask that the students of CMU
be granted the opportunity to
exercise citizenship as defined
a n-d   Michigan
in   national
state law."
This was the keynote of a
message by Student Body
President Joseph Sweeney to
the Student Senate at its meeting last Monday night. Sweeney's message dealt with student rights and responsibilities.

gan -Legislature.
Dr. Grams is presently coordinator of Parent Education
Activities and is teachng and
doing research in parent-child
relationship a t Merrill-Palmer Institute in Detroit.
Dr. Grams received his B.S.
in Ed.  at Concordia College,
M.A.    at  Depaul   University,
and   Ph.D.   at   Northwestern
University.    He has been an
elementary teacher and principal, professor of psychology
at Wisconsin State College^ instructor of education and psychology at Depaul, and Head
Psychologist at Dyslexia Memorial Institute.
:   MerriU-Palrher   Institute   is.
the only center of its kind devoted to study,  research  and
service   in  human    behavior
with   a special   emphasis   on
childhood development. Junior
and senior students from some
90 "colleges   and  universities
attend    Merrill-Palmer   for
specialized study in the area
of human growth and behavior.
After completion of study the
students return to their universities for further study.
Some random quotations
from*Dr. Gram's keynote address are: "Sexual intercourse
is surrender, acted out," "Sex-
.ualicompatibility is -riot the essential in a happy marriage,"
."Faithfulness, not romantic
attraction,' is the basis of marriage," and ffAn adequate sexual morality must apply-
equally to behavior before and
after marriage."
rights, responsibilities and
penalties for violation of someone else's rights or failure to
follow your own responsibilities. I find it almost impossible to find any rights defined in university publications, and almost as difficult
to speculate on traditional
rights," Sweeney said.
Sweeney attacked off-campus housing policies saying
there should be full freedom
of choice for those students
over twenty-one to live where
they wish with no university
restrictions.   '
'Women are regarded as
. third-class citizens in housing
rights," he said. "It would
only seem consistent to grant
coeds over the age of 21 the
right to come and go as they
please. The present system of
confinement is repulsive to a
democratic institution."
Further, Sweeney continued,
the present policy of inspection by university housing authorities should be abolished.
Any periodic checks should be
arranged through the occupants of an establishment,
not the landlord. Additional
precautions should be taken to
conduct investigations only
with the expressed permission
-of the boarders and then only
with due process and just
cause.
"Even in dormitories there
.should be .-adequate protection against unreasonable
search and seizure," he said*
He then spoke of the CMU
student social code and the
statement of punishment procedure found in that code.
"There is the old adage defining CMU's various probations which says: Academic
probation is when you've done
something and they know
where to put you; social probation is when you've done
something and they don't have
any othr place to put you; and
administration probation i s
when you haven't done anything but they gotta do something with .you anyway. This
description is fitting to that
which it modifies," Sweeney
said.
It would be totally in line

Vote With Voting Machines
For Student Body Elections
•CMU -will have the- use of
portable voting machines for
thfe election op student body
and class "offices* oh March 30.
It will mark the first time
such voting " machines have
been Used ia- Michigan. . ..
; According to Joseph Sweeney, student body president,
arrangements are being made
with Representative Russell
Strange.to have 16 automatic
machines available for student
use. There will be no cost for>
the use "of them beyond the
cost of printing the ballots.
According to Sweeney, this
will be a educational opportunity for CMU students as
these are a new type of machine which have been used
xn only three other states up
until now. The new machines
are smaller, more efficient and
more economical to use.
Strange, a graduate of CMU,
said the use of the machines
her-e -will serve as a trial basis
for further consideration for
the use in Michigan elections.
Offices up for election include Student Body President
.and Vice President, and all
Senior, Junior and Sophomore
offices. Freshmen may vote
:only for the Student Body
offices.   .'..-.••
