Happenings on Big Eight
campuses from the Nation

senior citizen's house toge
ther. Hie project was as
signed by KU'sInterfratern
ity Council after the two
houses staged a street fight
last spring in which punch

Drugs decline
The drug abuse rate at
Oklahoma State University
is declining, say campus po
lice officials. The number of
drug related cases dropped
from 35 in 1979 to 26 in
1980. Student medical cen
ter officials say they still
treat about 70 people per
year for drug related prob
lems. Hard drugs arent
causing the problems they
used to, but alcohol abuse
is increasing.
Bed stacking
Bed stacking, a tradi
tional way of saving space in
residence hall rooms is un
der fire at the University of
Oklahoma. Housing officials
School forbids spying
The following are ing to a recent study. The
campus happenings reported report, conducted by a pri-
Dy ine national un-Lampus
Report.
-Spying on foreign stu
dents is now expressly for
bidden at Carnegie-Mellon
University in Pittsburgh.
The school's president
announced creation of a
hotline students may call if
they think they are victims
of spying. Any student
found guilty of spying on
others could face expulsion.
The action comes after a
Carnegie-Mellon student
died mysteriously on a re
turn trip to his native
Taiwan. Other Taiwanese
students claimed his alleged
suicide was actually govern
ment retribution for his
anti-government activities in
the United States.
-Dormitory residents
can sue campus housing
officials for violating the
terms of a housing agree
ment, a Maryland circuit
judge ruled recently. The
judge overturned a lower
court's dismissal of a $5,000
suit filed by a University of
Maryland student against
housing officials there. The
student claims a lack of safe
showers in a residence hall
caused "disruption in stu
dent life."
-Out-of-town football
victories will be celebrated
in a more orderly fashion at
the Florida State University
campus. Students, who used
to celebrate in city streets,
blocking them, can now
congregate in the campus
stadium, where university
and student leaders plan to
bring bands and a local disc
jockey to add to the cele
bration. -Changes in the legal

resolution and mounted an
extensive lobbying effort to
educate fraternity and sor

increased taxes paid by
sororities and fraternities.
