Handbook lists changes
By PATRICE WAITERS
Associate news editor
Physical education and
HOTC changes, new curfew
policies, a statement of student
rights and freedoms-manv of
the changes the University has
seen in the past year are now
evident in the revised Student
Handbook
The Student Senate com*
mitte on handbook revision put
in many long hours, discussing
needed changes, taking ideas to
University officials and gather
ing information to be used in
the 1970-71 handbook
One of the most important
changes in the new handbook is
not a statement but lack of a
statement .on possession of alco
holic beverages
Past handbooks have stated
that students could not have
ah-oholic beverages on Univer
sity property or in University
housing This year, there is no
rule on alcohol in the* handbook,
but rather a strengthening of
the drunken misbehavior rule,
according to Betty Johnson,
chairman of the Senate Stand
ing committee
"EMPHASIS has changed
from the mere fact of having
alcohol to strong emphasis on
the drunken misbehavior rule-
the handbook points out that if
you are ®oing to drink, you
must behave responsibly."
Miss Johnson said
Another handbook feature
which points to the increasing
autonomy of students is the
University’s endorsement of
the Statement on Bights and
Freedoms of Students' origi
nated bv the American Associa
tion of University Professors
The statement says in part.
‘ Free inquiry and free expres
sion are indispensable to the
attainment of the 1 goals of aca
demic institutions
The responsibility to secure
and to respect general condi
tions conducive to the freedom
to learn is shared by all mem
bers of the academic communi
ty." the statement says.
THE WOMEN'S curfew
rules has changed again. This
year, onlv first-quarter fresh
man women have a curfew--l
a m on both week nights and
weekends Second- and third-
quarter freshmen as well as all
upperclass women have no cur
few
I-ast year's rule stating that
second- and third-quarter fresh
men would have no curfew if
they obtained parental permis
sion was dropped because al
most all eligible girls got this
permission from their parents
and there was no reason to keep
the rule. Miss Johnson ex
plained
The handbook rule which
states that only the front doors
of women's residence halls
may be used after 7 p.m is in
correct. housing officials said
This rule has been changed
since the handbook was print
ed. and now women may leave
their dorms through side doors
at any time
The handbook reflects that
physical education courses now
are graded on a pass-fail basis
and do not affect grade-point
averages
THE IU T J*: on drugs is more
explicit, listing "controlled
drugs' that are not to be pos
sessed or used without a physi
cian's prescription The list
included hallucinogenic com
pounds amphetamines, barbi
turates and narcotics
Except for the list, the drug
rule is unchanged It prohibits
students from making forbid
den drugs available to other
persons
Traffic rules in the handbook
reflect increases in fine for
some motor vehicle violations
The Student Senate last year
recommended that the rules on
dormitory open house hours be
changed to allow residents of
each dorm to determine their
own hours and rules for open
houses This request was
turned down by the faculty
committee on student affairs;
the old rule-"Open houses
must end at the latest closing
hour of women's residence

nue building he said Members

points have improved com
pared to their records prior to
