Academic Housing In Spring
Dean of Men Ben E. David said Wednesday that academic housing—a grouping of students with similar majors in one dormitory
area _ will go into effect next |
semester with 178 students.
He said that six classifications were drawn up—education, communications, business, humanities, sciences and languages—and students received a notice of the voluntary plan last month.
Those who wanted to room with students of a similar major designated it when they l signed up for next semester's housing.
"The full program looks like it will be a real success,” Dean David remarked.
The lone group which was under the academic housing setup this semester — an engineering section — heard a speaker from General Electric talk about the type of work in their dormitory area Monday.
Ted Cheetham, former presi- i dent of the Mens' Residence Halls Association, called the program “a great step forward for MRHA.”
"The academic benefits certainly will be rewarding,” he said.
MRHA, the largest organization on compus, unanimously voted for introducing the plan in the spring of 1959.

Honor Council Suspends Two
By LEONARD TEEL And JACK GUARNIER1
Two University College students this week were suspended and 11 others received stiff punishments from the UM Honor Council in connection with cheating on a recent humanities examination.
Both suspended students have appealed to UM Executive Vice President Dr Robert Johns, who will make the final decision.
If the Honor Council’s verdicts stand, the two students must reapply for admission. They would also lose credit in all courses taken this semester.
One of the suspensions lasts until next fall.
The other is for the remainder of this semester.
Penalties consisting of course failure, suspension of campus identification card privileges, disciplinary probation and official reprimand were given to the other students found guilty.
Names and specific charges against each student have been withheld by the Council.
“We do not release the names because we have hope of rehabilitating these students,” said Dean of Students Noble Hendrix, who also serves as a non-voting member of the Honor Council.
In all. 20 students were heard by the council in sessions on Dec. 1. 2 and 5.
News of the verdicts was withheld by the council until its report was completed this week.
Seven students were found to have been nothing more than “injudicious,” or not guilty, in their actions, said Dr. John McCollum, administrative member and secretary of the council.
The Honor Council is composed of three students. Undergraduate Student Government President Kay Nabors. Gregory Zell and William Cornell; faculty member Dr. John Fetzer, and Dr. McCollum, of the administration.
The verdicts followed an investigation conducted by UC faculty and administrators.

For those who haven’t heard: Christmas vacation begins (officially) 11 p.m. Wednesday and ends (officially) 8 a.m. Jan. 3.
The Hurricane is taking a longer vacation. We're exiting today and will reappear (like a bad dream) on Jan. 13 for our final issue of the semester.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Very Christmas and a Happy New Year’s Eve. But we won’t.
