Evening division stude Visiting Scholar Sc 'Protest P By JEAN NEAL Staff Wri'er "Protest provides excitement for the mass of the bored establish ment," Dr. Seymour Halleck, crim inal psychiatry professor at the University of W i s c o n s i n, said' Monday speaking at the Univer sity's Visiting Scholars Series. "So many of us feel our lives are empty and that we need some. thing to add meaning; we need to quit letting things drift and de cide what we can do," Halleck said. Halleck stated that the youth today is characterized by two per sonality traits: a tendency to live in the present and a c on s t e n t search for freedom. "Young people try to deal with man's baser feelings by pretense pretend they don't exist. This can lead to trouble. When the feelings eventually come through, t h e n they cannot cope with it," Halleck told the group. "The pattern today," Halleck said, "is to pretend that there is no guilt in sex and that man is not a possessive animal." He added, "M a n y unmarried -ouples start living with e a c h Ather, but this leads to love and possessiveness andl then they break By Subcommia Hy CARL STEPPl Mlanaging Editor A subcommittee of the Student fairs Comm ittee Wednesday ret mendled to the vice president for dlent affairs that the suspension of activities of campus group A W.: he continued until the Mlarch 12 mv ing of the full committee.

Dorm Judg< isciplinary Uniform disciplinary 'guidelines and the campuswide use of study hall or a point system for disci. plinary violations was considered Monday by meeting of judges from campus men's dormitories. Judges from the Men's Towers, Maxcy, Columbia Hall, and Pres ton discussed the two systems as presented by William M. Klepper II, assistant dean of men. The judges adjourned without taking action but planning to further con sider the matter. The point system, currently used at Columbia Hall, stipulates that a student must vacate his resi :lence hall and forfeit all housing rees if he exceeds a 15-point total. First offenders receive from one Lo 10 points. Second offenders re :eive from five to 15 points, and t hi i r d offenders are prohibited it Affairs Co VARE :edl.

Change Under fy EDDIE CHEN Asst. News Editor Extensive changes in University housing are expected to be made at a meeting Monday between stu dent government, housing offi cials, presidents of all dormitories and top USC administrative offi cials. Among the proposals under con-i sideration are the conversion of: Columbia Hall into a women's dormitory and South Tower into a dormitory for women honor stu-1 dents. Other possible changes to be dis cussed include a $10 raise for all rooms and an increase in room reservation fee, from $50 to $100. The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. in the president's office in the Administration Building. With the possibility of Columbia Hall being converted into a women's dormitory, men residents of the dormitory have launched a protest against the move. Petitions have been circulating throughout the dormitory to voice their disapproval. In part, the petition stated: "If we are forced to move to another dorm, it is most probable that we will not sign up for another dorm' on campus, Cliff House, or else where." Columbia Hall residents listed their two main reasons for oppos ing such action: -the availability of private rooms, with private bath fa cilities. 1s Consider Guidelines from living on University prop erty. It was argued that the point: system is too harsh and that the study hall system, employing an' abeyance or probation with more serious offenses, is preferable. The study hall system operates on the premise that the residence: hall is a house of study. "Violators of disciplinary laws are put into study halls to encourage better study habits," Klepper said. In the point system, the offend-: er remains in his residence hall where his hall counselor will work with him to build better study hab. its.
