Drop policy vote to be by mail
Bv JOERADCLIFE
The College Assembly day decided to vote by mail ballot on a proposed withdrawal policy that would stop pimilated awakens after the seventh week of classes.
If the proposal passes, students in liberal arts and sciences wouldn't be able to drop a week of school unless they filed a petition with the Commission of the voting won't be known until the March 22 meeting of the assembly, and the students wouldn't take effect until the fall semester.
The proposal was amended so that it would be in effect for only one academic year, until May 1978, at which time the policy would be reviewed by the assembly.
EARLIER IN THE meeting, the assembly narrowly defeated an alternate proposal that would have left requests for withdrawals after the seventh week up to individual departments in the College. The alternate proposal was voted down. 57-52
Advocates of the alternate proposal said it would allow the student-instructor relationship concerning drops to continue. He argued that sometimes a student had

"I WOULD BE reluctant to write a petition to a committee," he said.
The University Educational Policies and Procedures Committee would read the Policy Statement.
Phil Kaufman, Memphis junior, and a committee member said he thought that under the Buckley Amendment, faculty members on the committee would be able to deter students' personal files when trying to deter them from student should be allowed to drop a class.
"We don't feel the committee has a right to look at those files," Kaufman said, expressing his favor for the alternate proposal.
"OUR MAYOR argument is that it should be a student-instrument "thing," he said. "The alternate proposal was acceptable, but it was voted down by the faculty."
Faculty members account for about 75 per cent of the assembly.
Richard DeGeorge, professor of
philosophy, which he favored the original proposal, that he was intruded of com- junction betweendeparture.
"One department can advertise—subby, of course—that its policies are more liberal," he said. "We need a uniform policy, uniformly implemented."
THE DROP policy in liberal arts and sciences says a student who draws a course by the 12th week of class will receive a “W.” If a course is dropped after the 12th week, the instructor decides whether to give the student a “W” or an “F.”
If the proposal being voted on by mail has passed, students will inform the instructor and drop course by the seventh week. Students who wish to drop a course after that time will have to petition
The proposed policy wouldn't change a current ruler that allows students to drop a course within the first four weeks of class. The class showing up on their transexists.

Dole promotes 'Moonies' inquiry

WASHINGTON-Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan.
has received tentative approval to use a
Senate subcommittee to investigate the tax
exempt status of the Unification Church.
Dole wants the subcommittee on administration of the Internal Revenue Code to see whether the Church has helped in political campaigns, tried to influence legislation or used its funds to make a profit. All three activities are banned for tax-exempt bodies in the Internal Revenue Code.
A spokesman at the Church's main office in New York City yesterday denied that there was any reason to investigate the organization.
The Church, led by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, operates religious centers across the country.
"Without infringing upon the religious beliefs of the Unification Church," Dole said, "there have been enough questions raised in the media, in congressional debates by private individuals ... to warrant looking into the possibility of tax law violation."
The Unification Church spokesman said that all its fund-raising was legal and that the church's actions were justified.

"Reportedly in 1974, the Unification Church voluntarily filed a tax return stating total assets and net worth equal to $800.64, and no income." Dole said.
"When the church apparently owned millions of dollars worth of property, the $500 net worth and no income seems highly improbable."
An aide to Dole said cooperation from the IRS and the Justice Department would be sought, but he doubted either would reveal involvement or involved in even if the subcommittee tried.
The IRS and Justice Department spokesman declined to comment on that
The subcommittee won't have prosecuting or other legal powers, but will be able to publish its findings after hearings are held.
A year ago Dole was host to a "Day of Affirmation and Protest" here, which drew 400 people. He sponsored the meeting after a petition signed by 14,000 parents asked for a chance to express their grievances against the Church.

The state departments of social and rehabilitation services (SRS) and health and environment have been involved in the creation of community centers for the elderly.
