Rights Bill Discussed By Myers By GARY MESSENGER Staff Writer A Student Bill of Rights advo cating free inquiry and free ex pression was the topic of a speech last week by Law School Prof. Webster Myers. Myers told AWARE, campus po litical interest group, that the cen tral purpose of the bill is to give the University clear cut channels to 1work in case of a crisis and to grant the student a precise stand ard of due process and discipline. It is designed to allow a maxi mum of academic freedom for Uni versity students, he said. Formulated by the A m e r i c a n Association of University Profes sors, the proposal is now under study by USC President Thomas F. Jones and Vice President for Student Affairs Charles II. Witten. Because the bill is under study, Myers said, it would be impossible to release it "in its entirety." The jurist said he felt! some rules to day stem from w h e n today's college officials w e r e students when a "quasi pa renthood' system was im posed by college administrators. MYERS Hasic portions, of the bill include separation of discipline and academic informa tion, rights of students to organize, speaker policy, non-censorship of student publications, rights of stu dents for off-campus act,ivity with out fear of administration disci pline and a s u g g e s t i o n for a student grievance C 0 Im i tt C C, Myers said. Committee To Decide Rules President Joyce Woodward, at the Associated Women Students House of Representatives mcoting c last week, appointed a committee11 to decide on the house rules for Capstone House. Announcing that Capstone would be a women's residence hall, Mrs. Woodward said that the dormitory would eventually be a graduate dorm, but would be considered an "honor dorm" next year for juniors and seniors as well as graduates. Named to the committee were Kay Hardy, chairman,Susan Wells, Judy B3elluscio, and Janet Selmnan. Hall chairmen were requested to hold meetings to dliscuss the first ten pages of rules in the Coed Code. Any suggestions on possible rule changes will be discussed in the House at the next meeting. A bill concerning a change in. the penalty for failure to sign in was referrmd to the rules comn- < mittee- t When you can' t sharpen your wi~ with NoDoz NoDoz keep alert tablets or r safe as coffee, help bring you back to your mental best ... hi you become more alert to the people and conditions around you.

Young told his audience of a1)pp)oximlately 100 p e r s o n s that Iars was thought to have the po ential of producing life forms be ause of its similarity to Earth.
