Refrigerators could dorm snacks PAGE 2 More than the "nocturnal storage" of dorm residents may be coming if ideas described by John Marker, vice president of the University Residence Hall Association (RHA), are realized.

The National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) Is sponsoring an idea to let RHA lease refrigerators from Collegiate Products, Inc. Each dorm floor could then sub-lease the refrigerators from RHA at about $5 a month, Marker said He said the refrigerators would not be intended to supply a student with three meals a 0 day, but to hold snacks and beverages. Consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages on state property is still against the law, Marker added Another Idea aims at pro perty losses beyond the student's control. An Insurance program being considered by NACURH would allow $1,500 compensation for damage by wind, hail, fire, water, smoke or accidental explosions, Marker said. It would also offer op to $500 compensation for loss of pro perty by theft The insurance program still is only an idea, Marker said, and may never be realized because of legal complications. The plan, to cost $5-$7 a year, will not cover losses during Davis hearing missing Regents The structure of Friday's ASUN open hearing on the Michael Davis case has been changed since no University Regent will appear at the hear ing. Bill Arfmann, chairman of an ASUN ad hoc committee which is investigating the Dav is case, said his committee Friday will ask Davis ques tions for about 30 minutes then Davis will answer questions from the floor. Arfmann said he doubts whether any University admin istrator will attend the discus sion Friday. However, he said his committee intends to pur sue the investigation beyond the talks with Davis Friday and plans to have some com munication with the Regents. Davis, a teaching fellow at the University of Michigan, disputes the reasons the Re gents gave for rejecting his appointment as a philosophy instructor. iscover igfiway u tit Will fin t... uv ;uy yuuj ro Know tna? there s a restaurant in town where you get free parking, end a free malt with the purchase of a double cheeseburger.

These Ideas are part of a new approach to residence hall liv ing which began with changing the name of the Inter Dormitory Association to The Residence Hall Association. This change eliminated the unfavorable word "dormitory" which often stands for "noc turnal storage," Marker said. Residence hall committees were formerly limited to plan ning social activities, be noted. But, Marker continued, since constitutional change last spring, the committees do much more.

A communications committee is putting out a monthly newsletter and a calendar. The main obstacle to the work of RHA, Marker said, has been lack of favorable publici ty, and usually no publicity at all. This, along with a 40 per cent turnover of dorm residents, has made RHA unknown to many students, and its work less ef fective, Marker said. He added that the new approach of RHA should eliminate the "dormant" image of the past. previous engagements, accord ing to Arfmann. He said the Regents "be nign neglect" forced his com mittee to alter the planned open' hearing. sciences. He added that the course is flexible, one in which students with particular interests are allowed to develop their own interests and are encouraged to do experiments in their favorite field. Jaecks said many times student? set up the equipment for experiments themselves. The apparatus used is similar to researchers', and students find their way through ex periments just as they would do in research. He noted that students have responded positively both to the experiments done in the lab and to the apparatus used. uslcer unday. NOVEMBER 6, 1970
