The Student Advisory Commit-

mended to Housing Director John
Feldkamp to delay the rent in-
crease in married student housing
until Oct. 1.
The committee's 6-0 vote with
one abstention brought the con-

crease one step closer to resolu-

By PAT O'DONOHUE
Joint Judiciary Council last night acquitted two students
charged with violating Un'iversity regulations on grounds
that "It would not enforce any rule that had not been passed
by an autonomous student legislative body."
In the landmark decision, JJC held that it would not
recognize the validity of two University regulations because
they had been set by the school administration rather than
the student government.
JJC is the University's court of appeals which hears cases
of students convicted of violation of non-academic Univer-
sity regulations by judiciaries of dormitories, fraternities,
sororities and the campus driving court. When the current
10 member JJC group was ap-

ing in the UGLI Multipurpose
Room at 7:30 this evening.
A mock-up of the 1968 Repub-
lican National Nominating Con-
vention is currently being orga-
nized with aid and comfort from
the University Activities' Center,
the campus Young Republicans
and Young Democrats.
The convention's goal is to be
an educational experience, con-
vention organizers explain. Em-
phasis is on the construction and
planning of a political convention
rather than the actual politics
involved.
The venture is strictly non-
partisan. The Republican conven-
tion was chosen as a model only
because it offers more opportunity
for a contest for the nomination,
assuming the Democrats will nom-
inate President Lyndon B. John-
son.
Positions on both the executive
and finance committees are still
open. Convention sponsors empha-
size that their public relations
committee is in dire need of a
competent artist for sign paint-
ing.
Convention delegate positions
are also open, campaign managers
are needed and the paltform steer-
ing committee has yet to be form-
ed.
Petitions for the above positions
will be available from the UAC,
the Young Republicans and the
Young Democrats for those unable
to attend the meeting.
The convention will be held on
March 16 and 17, 1968, in the Yost
Field House. Observers are wel-
come, but at present everyone is
encouraged to participate rather
than watch.
Prof. John W. Kingdon of the
political science department will
serve as faculty advisor for the
convention.
Finances are presently uncer-
tain. The University has agreed
to supply a portion of the funds,
but contributions will hopefully be
raised from large corporations,
student organizations and private
donors.
