Committee Asks
Guarantee Of
Privacy Rights
A roMolutlon calling for
atflctor college regulatlona
guaranteeing Mtudent rights
of privacy was sent to the
Academic Council yesterday
by the Student Life Committee.
The resolution, If approved by
the council, would require the pre
sence of an authorized student at
any search of r student belongings
conducted by college authorities.
Specifically, the resolution re
commends alteration of a cifrrent
college regulation. The regulation
states, “Personal belongings of
students are subject to inspection
by the Dean of Students or his
authorized representative at all
times.”
The revised regulation recom
mended by the Student Life Com
mittee would read, “Personal be
longings of Student are subject to
search by the Dean of Students or
his authorized representatives at
all times provided the inspector is
V accompanied by a cadet officer,
Kousemaker, or his designated rep
resentative.”
The motion containing the reso
lution was approved unanimously
following a lengthy discussion of
student rights of privacy. Assist
ant Dean of Students Bennie A.
Zinn appeared before the commit
tee to discuss the current policies
regarding search of student be
longings.
No Regulation Now
j No rooms are searched now
without the presence of the stu
dent concerned or his cadet officer
or housemaster, Zinn saM. How
ever, the present college regulation
does not require their presence.
The recommended alteration of
college regulations would not re
quire the presence of a student
for routine “neatness” inspections
carried out in the corps dormitor
ies by the tactical officers and
company commanders. Housemas
ters in non-military dorms could
also make “neatness” inspections
without being accompanied by an
other.student under the newly re
commended regulation,
j Purpose of the new regulation,
If aporoved, -would be to make it
illegal to conduct a search of any
student room without the presence
of the student’s cadet officer,
house master, or designated re
presentative. Heretofore, it has
bTen the custom to have such a
student representative but it was
nbt T required.
Stark Explains
The Life Committee meeting was
opened yesterday with a talk by
J; Wayne Stark; director of the
Memorial Student Center. He dis
cussed proposed methods of fi
nancing the new center.

unions in the, country are financed
