The support of any off-campus partisan political effort or organization, or on the basis of any political tests, except that funds may be allocated for the campus educational and informational activities of units or organizations; 4. Gift, donation, or contribution to any off-campus charitable, social, or political object, effort, organization, fund, drive, campaign, or cause, except that funds may be allocated for recruiting, administration and travel expenses necessary to enable students to participate in community social service or public service projects; 5.

V. Disbursement of Funds. Payments shall be made from the unit or organization accounts of an organization by voucher system upon request of the designated financial officer (s) of the unit or organization to which funds have been allocated. VI. Initiation, Renewal, and Alteration. A. This assessment and its administration shall be subject to the approval of the University Board of Trustees and to student resident approval in an initial referendum held in a manner approved by the Chancellor or his designee. Approval of any proposal by such referendum shall be obtained upon a majority vote of the resident students voting in that referendum, provided also that a majority of the resident students vote. B. Alteration in the amount of this assessment may be initiated by any higher government legislature, upon approval in a referendum as provided above, and by action of the Board of Trustees. CHANGE IN HOUSING REGULATIONS, URBANA (10) Presently the University requires all single undergraduate men and women under twenty-one years of age as of September 1 of any particular academic year to live in housing approved by the University for the entire academic year. After extensive study, and with the concurrence of the Director of the Housing Division and the Dean of Students, the Chancellor recommends that the following policy be adopted effective September 1971 : "All single undergraduate men and women who will be twenty-one years of age or who have achieved senior status (90 semester hours of academic credit) by September 1 of the academic year may elect to live in housing of their choice. All other single undergraduate students must reside in approved housing for the entire academic year unless specific permission is granted by the Dean of Students." The change in policy is based primarily on two educational reasons: one, the increased maturity of students, especially those of age, would warrant their being able to determine their choice of local residence; and two, those students who have achieved senior status (90 semester hours of academic credit) would confirm their ability to adjust to the campus environment and to meet their academic requirements. The immediate effects of reducing the age requirements for seniors on bond commitments, the supply of married student housing, fraternities, sororities, and other private housing should be negligible because of the limited number of students involved and the limited number of approved spaces available.
