OPEN HEARING:

talk
on recruiting
By MARK DILLEN
At their monthly meeting today and tomorrow, the
Regents will discuss two on-going controversies within the
academic community-the proposed University judiciary and
the University's policy on recruiting by corporations charged
with discrimination.
The recruiting policy will be the subject of an open
hearing at 4 p.m. today in the Regents room of the Adminis-
tration Bldg. The Regents expect to take final action today
on the Office of Student Services (OSS) decision to ban
companies which have dealings in South Africa from OSS
recruiting offices.
At a mass meeting last Sunday, called by an ad hoc
- radical group on campus, stu-
dents were urged to attend the
U tu en t open hearing and to "harass"
the Regents in support of six
anti-war demands.

DORM CONTRACTS

"The dorms are the biggest ripoffs in
the world," one dorm resident says.
"I can't see why anyone would want
to live in one. It has nothing but rotten
food, cold impersonal people and lousy
rooms," another adds.
These feelings are typical among a
growing number of students who are now
feverishly working to break their housing
contracts.

"I decided to play by the rules hoping
they would treat me like a human being.
I told them that dorm life just wasn't

Griff says.
Another student, Peggy Wilkinson, '72,
