However, Day added, "I regret the seeming lack of full confidence in students to conduct their seif-regulation implicit in some of the suggested guidelines. "I share the frustration of many students that this decision, while a progressive step, should have to come so late in the context of a major segment of American higher education." Under the approved regulations, occupants of University residence halls may, as a part of their social activities, hold Open House at stated times during the year for guests not normally visiting residence halls including members of the opposite sex, parents, relatives, and faculty frnembers. ."I am confident that a responsible exercies of Open House options can lead to appropriate development of he policy in the future," said pay. The policy announced Thursday was emphasized as being "experimental." Bill Darrah, one of the co-chairmen of the Chancellor's Open House Advisory Committee, called the policy "a good program, reasonable in that it is mpre liberal than the programs of the majority of other state universities across the country." Day urged members of the Open House Committee and the appropriate residential college, fraternity, and sorority officers "to take all steps necessary to implement the policy as soon as possible." "The Chancellor and others who contributed to this decision are to be commended for their efforts to expand the social opportunities for all University residents," he concluded. 1 Deadline For Courses Extended Experimental College May Obtain Accreditation By J.D.

Highest on the list of price mark-ups were small desk items such as thumb tacks, which are bought for 14 cents and retailed for 29 cents per box. Pencils cost 2 cents and are sold for 5 cents. However, the Book-Ex retails some comparable pencils at about 8 cents a piece. Wholesale prices for these were unavailable.
