Last April, the rites of spring at Manhattan's Barnard College centered around Linda LeClair, 20, and her loud fight for every girl's right to live off campus with the roommate of her choice. Linda won that argument, but now it seems that she has given up on stuffy old Barnard altogether, choosing to drop out this fall in favor of communal housekeeping on Manhattan's West Side. Barnard President Martha Peterson, says Linda, has her sympathy. "She is aware that recognizing sexual intercourse would cause embarrassment to the ladies that give money to the college...
Pinned & Engaged. The new morality of the college senior holds no brief for society's sexual taboos. Linda LeClair, Barnard's celebrated light housekeeper, is no rarity in her generation. Yet nearly all students argue that promiscuity is not on the rise. What they take for granted is sex among couples who consider themselves "pinned," engaged, or just plain in love.

Soon afterward, she met Peter Behr, a Columbia University freshman from New York City, at a dormitory dinner. Romance blossomed, and when Linda became ill and had to drop out of school a few months later, the couple moved into a West Side apartment together. Last year, still living off-campus with Peter, Linda resumed her studies...
...time the hearing began, Linda found herself far too busy to attend classes, and had become something of a campus celebrity. Conducting her own crossexamination, she pressed Housing Director Elizabeth Meyers into conceding that if the LeClair family lived within the 50-mile commuting limit, the college would have had nothing to say about her housing arrangements. Linda also took issue with the college's right to act in a parental role. She received impressive support from a Barnard philosophy professor and two Columbia religious counselors. Arguing that Barnard's housing rules should be changed, Rabbi A. Bruce...
