"So many of us feel our live: tre empty and that we need some hing to add meaning; we need tc juit letting things drift and de -ide what we can do," Hallech aid. Halleck stated that the yout oday is characterized by two per onality traits: a tendency to live n the present and a consteni earch for freedom. "Young people try to deal with nan's baser feelings by pretense oretend they don't exist. This can ad to trouble. When the feelings ventually come through, t h e n hey cannot cope with it," Halleck old the group. "The pattern today," Halleck aid, "is to pretend that there is o guilt in sex and that man is ot a possessive animal."

Dorm Judg Disciplinary Uniform disciplinary guidelines and the campuswide use of study hall or a point system fPr 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 dence hall and forfeit all housing fees if he exceeds a 15-point total. First offenders receive from one to 10 points. Second offenders re ceive from five to 15 points, and t h ir d offenders are prohibited it Affairs Com RE ked.

Change Under 4 By EDDIE CHEN Asst. News Editor Extensive changes In University housing are expected to be made at a meeting Monday between stu- 1 dent government, housing offi cials, presidents of all dormitories and top USC administrative offi cials. Among the proposals under con sideration are the conversion of Columbia Hall into a women's dormitory and South Tower into' a dormitory for women honor stu 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 1 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. s 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 ani 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. I In the point system, the offend- 1 er remains in his residence hall' where his hall counselor will work with him to build better study hab. its. "The student can live in the. environment with the knowledge that if he leaves it, it will be permanent," said Dean Klepper, referring to the eviction guide line. zm ittee sus pensi for meetings to AWA RE wa Rse to the charges. pay bills to th Fresentedl a three- to University reply to seve'n group repilied m- itemized list alvolvedl the group)'s and( had re< rizedl fund-raising group)'s form .g dlonat ions at a union officiah hoe. would be paid troup didnf't realize no time limit nations consti utedl must be paid1. tion.
