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.

could be within easy reach if
each dorm floor would be
allowed to rent a refrigerator,
he added.
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.

he added.
Films for the residence halls
are also available through
NACURH and RHA, according
to Marker.
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.

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
