The Student Advisory Commit- tee on Housing yesterday recom- mended to Housing Director John Feldkamp to delay the rent in- crease in married student housing until Oct. 1.

Judgmen Refuses To' Discipline In 'U' Rule ViolatiOnS Vows to Uphold, Only Regulations Written and Approved. by Students 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.

To apply: Be at the Mock Political Convention mass meet- 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. pro bbe that life elsewhere could the same way it is be have 'evolved on Earth." lined the theories putJ the origin of life in a Civilization" presentat kamp said that no decision had been reached but that several pos- sibilities were under consideration. form in One was that the $10 deficit would be pro-rated over succeed- Hiee to ingoulmonths' rent, bringing the He cut total increase to $11 until the forth for deficit was made up.

One letter linked Stokes to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and said if Stokes were elect- ed King would become "dictator" of Cleveland. Some observers had predicted such an approach might backfire. The party leaders also attacked Stokes for using what they call- ed "racial blackmail," when he suggested that his election might lessen the chance of outbreaks of rioting in Negro area. The city was hit by four nights of rioting, looting and burning in Negro slum areas in the summer of 1966.
