ial and Behavioral
Sciences Department

program will not only
"provide a meaningful
education for stu
dents" but will also
help solve the "man
power shortage in the
area of juvenile cor
rection." Anderson

University of Chicago

was chairman of the
department of Social

SAC Reviews Rights
by Bonnie Clark
Several issues
w ere covered and
passed unanimously by
the Student Affairs
C ouncil on February
14.
One of the major
issues was that of
women's sign-out pro
cedures . The new
procedure will in
volve envelopes in-
s tead of the old
sign-out cards. The
s tudent will place
her name, date and
time of departure,
and date and time of
her expected return
on the outside of the
envelope. The desti
nation, address and
telephone number of
the place to be vis
ited will be sealed
inside the envelope.
The envelope will
then be left with the
R.esident Counselor.
The envelope will on
ly be opened in emer
gency situations
when the girl needs
to be located.
The following
situations constitute
an emergency: 1)
When a girl fails to
come ir or notify the
college within one
hour after curfew of
her return. 2)Wlien
an emergency situa
tion arises and her
family must get in
touch with her or at
her parents' demand.
In these cases
only the Resident
Counselor, Dean of
S tudent Development,
d r Associate Dean of
Student Development
may open the envel
ope. More informa
tion on this issue
will be given when
Dr. Bentley reviews
this proposal.
Another issue
brought before the
Council was the pol
