Housin BY SI) GRIFFIN Two recent housing violations have raised some questions over the method in which they were discovered. The dispute centers around several female residents of a USC dormitory who were recently found in violation of housing regulations. The students claim their violations of the code were discovered only because their right as students were denied. One student, reported being caught with a refrigerator, which is punishable by a $15 fine, claims the refrigerator was totally concealed in a closet which had its doors shut. To open these doors without the student being aware is not USC policy, according to Joseph Barnes of the Housing Department.

Barnes said, and the an nouncement to this check was posted on the bulletin board of the dormitory. Rachael Carr, director of Housing Services for the dorm, agrees with Barnes. Carr said she always abided by the regulations of the Health and Safety check. Carr admitted to looking under blankets to see if refri gerators are there, but she cites the fact that a Camp Offe There is a push to involve non professional mental health workers in roles traditionally held by professional psychologists, according to Gayle Miller, an employe of the S.C. Department of Mental Health. Along with this has come greater interest in field experiences at an undergraduate level, Miller said. While these needs are far from being met, she added, op portunities have begun to spring up. Several years ago a therapeutic camp program for "emotionally disturbed" children was begun by the S. C. Department of Mental Health. In addition to serving the children seen at the various community mental health clinics in the state, the program at tempted to provide un dergraduates an opportunity to sample mental health work with an eye to determining It'relevance for . 1330 MAIN BOARDW olumbia.

Carr's procedure is to "wm the student in writing about the violation first, then make another check in a few days to see if it has been removed." Eileen Berlin, Student Govern ment Secretary for Student Welfare found there was little to be done other than warning students to keep illegal appliances hidden. "It appears that the students room is no longer his or her's private domain, as it is apparently open for survellance by the university, Berlin said. George Mitchell, head of the Maintenance Department , said it 1 was his department's policy to report any violations they find in student's rooms immediately. But, Mitchell added, no one from S Practical E career area, Miller said. Counselors at this camp, Miller said, complete an intensive one week training program at the .camp immediately prior to the arrival of the chilaren. During the seven weeks the children are at the camp, counselors also receive daily supervision from the camp's professional staff.

Mitchell also denied maintenance being involved in the recent reports of housing violations. Workers for the maintenance department said they have never been asked to search a student's room or told to be on special lookout for housing violations. Several hall advisors and area managers, all employes of the aousing department expressed varying views on the violations. However, none had ever been asked to "raid" a student's room in an effort to find housing violations. xperience Counselors are being sought for this coming session.
