rA8HVILLE, Tenn.-Wine,'women and song will be a part
of men's dormitory life at Vanderbilt University under a new
policy aimed at giving dorm residents treatment equal to that of
fraternities.
"The trouble is," one youth commented, "is that the wine
will be too private and the women too public." And the suspicion
often was voiced that fraternity men still will be a little more
equal than their unaffiliated brethren.
The new policy, announced by officials at the traditionally
staid university yesterday, will permit dormitory students to
drink previously outlawed liquor in their rooms-and invite pre-
viously outlawed women to dormitory lounges on Friday and
Saturday nights.
At the same time, the officials said, juke boxes and record
players will be installed in remodeled recreation facilities in the
dormitories-Carmichael Towers and Kissam Hall. Sometimes,
even, there may be a combo.
Fraternity men have enjoyed these privileges for years under
rules which said specifically that liquor would be permitted only
in fraternity houses. Women, specifically, have been banned from
both men's dormitories-but have long visited fraternity house
lounges.

Deny 'Intelligence
Work; Admit Taking
Funds from Agency1
By STEVE BOOKSHESTER
Collegiate Press Service
In response to an advertisement
placed today by Ramparts maga-
zine in the New York Times and
the Washington Post, the officers
of the United StateshNational
Students Association (USNSA)
last night described their relation-
ship with the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA).
"In its March issue," the ad-
vertosment said, "Ramparts mag-
azine will document how the CIA
has infiltrated and subverted the
world of American student lead-
ers over the past 15 years. It has
used students to spy; it has used
students to pressure international
student organizations into taking
cold war positions; and it has in-
terfered, in a most shocking man-
ner, in the international workings;
of the nation's largest and oldest
student; organization."
The official statement of the
association of USNSA ' officersI
said:
"We do not know the specific
allegations of the Ramparts ar-
ticle. It is impossible therefore to
determine the truth or falsity of
specific charges.
"It is true that a relationship!
between USNSA and the Central
Intelligence Agency has existed

SACUA Stymied
On Daily Inquiry
Sends Publications Board Letter
To Faculty Assembly for Action
By PAT O'DONOHUE
The Senate. Advisory Committee on University Affairs de-
cided last night to put the question of reviewing The Daily's
relationship with the University community before the Fac-
ulty Assembly at its meeting next Monday.
SACUA debated the question of how to constitute a re-
view and how a mechanism for review ought to be set up and
operated. They could not reach a decision "even on that,"
according to Prof. William E. Brown of the Dentistry School,
chairman of SACUA. SACUA plans to open the question of
reviewing The Daily to the As-

THIRD ACADEMIC ASPECT:
Workshop Series Researches Teaching Methods

By DAVID KNOKE
Research and teaching have long
been the major academic functions
of the college teacher. The Center
for Research on Learning and
Teaching runs a series of annual
faculty workshops to combine both
functions into a third academic
aspect of the teacher's life-re-
search into methods of effective
teaching.
The' CRLT workshops, held in
the fall and spring semesters, con-
centrate primarily on the develop-
ment by the participating faculty
of student-centered programs, nsu-
ally of aprogramnied-learning or
self-instructional, nature. But, as
far as Prof. George Geis, the
workshop's director, is concerned,

five-weekend sessions are limited
to a dozen participants, the wait-

shop goes out.
"I feel very positive towards the
whole thing," says Prof. Martin
P. Ristenbatt, of the electrical
engineering department, who at-
tended a workshop last year. "I.
began working on a program for
teaching the use of a new tran-
sistor curve tracer and I'm now
about two-thirds finished. The ex-
tensive amount of time in writing
and perfecting the program was
efficiently spent."

is on "work." Participants can ex-

"Professionally, we aren't very

"We encourage the participant

members.
Representing the commission
were the four student members and
their alternate, Gr'etchen Groth,
Grad; Prof. Maurice Sinnott of
the chemical engineering depart-
inent and William Steude,ddirec-
tor of student-community rela-
tions.
Bruce Kahn, '68, responded that
the commission had been estab-
lished with a mandate to consider
the role of the student within the
University, and hopefully to come
up with specific suggestions for
change,
Prof. Sinnott asserted that
"there is no question in any fac-
ulty man's mind about how he gets
things done.
"I have direct routes to the Re-
gents and I know what they are
and use them. The students appar-
ently don't know what they are
and 'maybe they don't even exist."
Roger Leed, '67L. said that the
student members of the commis-
sion are faced with the problem of
serving on the commission both as
individual members of the Univer-
sity community and as represen-
tatives of the student body.
According to Leed, it will be
necessary for the students to "es-
tablish a priority between their
role as wise men for the whole
University community and their'
role as tribunes of the student
community."
Leed said that the major ob-
jective of the commission should
be to re-define the meaning of
student. He contends that stu-
dents have an inferior status to
faculty and administration and
+I.. n" n++nrnr..' n+ nn - I'.- -

advisory capacity is limited or ig-
nored. Kahn said that "decisions
are made and power reside in
how those decisions are accepted,
especially by the Regents."
Leed outlined what he called
an inductive power model that
would require a very strong stu-
dent institution in order to gath-
er information, and formulate
opinion. In case the student de-
cision was not given weight long
term indirect sanctions would be
necessary, to the extent that it
would be detrimental to the ad-
ministration to ignore student
opinion.
The student commissioners, since
their appointment three weeks
ago, have met with the Social
WorkhCouncil, the Inter-Co-op
Council, officers of the Newman
Center, the Law Club Board of
Directors, and several other stu-
dent groups.
