The student is guaranteed the right of a trial, of counsel and of an appeal if he feels his case was improperly handled. The University also distin guishes its rules and the en forcemen of the same from those of the wider community. Stu dents are usually no longer pros ecuted by the University if their case has been handled by the community. The new code also establish es that students shall he pri marily responsible for the ad ministering of justice, and that students will participate fully in the formulation of all policies and rules pertaining to student conduct. These provisions form t h e foundation of our current stu dent conduct program These provisions are in effect, and arc effective.

The first, 'The minor courts are nearly worthless. They have no definite authority; they have no clear and proper sanctions to impose; and they have no smooth regular operating pro cedures.” It would seem to me that any time you put into effect a new program with relatively inexper ienced people, a few bugs will initially appear, and they have. It would not hove been possible for the Student Conduct Com mittee to anticipate each indivi dual problem that would face the minor courts. We will have to learn by our experience. Fall term Mr I.uvaas's com ments may have been appropri ate Now, however, the minor courts do have definite rules of procedure, they have definite authority and are all currently operating very satisfactorily Mr. 15<al, Assistant Dean of Stu dents, who is now' working with the minor courts to remove any problems they might have, is very happy with their opera tion. Mr. I.uvaas's second “spe cific” comment was that "no body knows what cases belong where—which should be han dled by the courts, which by the administration, which by the counselors and so on." The particular question of which cases the counselor handles and which are handled by the minor courts may have been in point a few months ago, but these problems are virtually resolved now Mr. I.uvaas's comments remain totally out dated and un substantiated. Is it on the ba sis of these criticisms that the whole code is not good? Public View Mr I.uvaas adds one more point which is very interesting and perhaps is his “real rea son” for believing the code is 'doing very little but harm,”— "The University is being seen around the state as a symbol of generally deteriorating moral ity.” He follows by saying, “Cer tainly, criticism which has come to the code so far is justified." Oh-' It seems that this leaves little to bo said. I was particularly disappoint DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE . . CALL NOW FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT.

This seems to represent naivete on his part. The conduct code directly affects most of the stu dents in one way—a relieving of the preponderance of obscure and unnecessary rules and reg ulations. These rules and regulations no longer exist and most stu dents do not recognize that the code is v/hat removed them The code also directly affects those students who get into trou ble—who represent a very small percentage of the student body The code is directed at provid ing procedural safeguards for these people, removing unnec essary rules and regulations, and at developing a sense of respon sibility and self-government in the students of the University Therefore, I believe it is a little naive to expect students to see "direct benefits” from the code in the same way they see them by getting a paycheck every week. New Name “I must say that I at least ex pected Mr. Luvaas to be cogni zant of the name of our con duct document—it is called the Student Code. Our old policy was called the Discipline Code, but we left that behind last year, or so 1 thought. Perhaps that is where we left Mr Lu vaas, also. (Re letter to editor April 15) So, Mr. Luvaas, your criticisms are very minor, obsolete, often incorrect and misdirected, and reflect a genuine misunder standing of, perhaps lack of be lief in the fundamentals of the student conduct program.

Women's Clothing Store Being Built Ground-breaking began Thurs day for a new women's clothing store to be erected on the site of ; the old Sigma Chi fraternity house at the corner of Thirteenth and Alder Streets. The new store, an addition to a string of Eugene-Springfiela stores already owned and oper ated by Kaufman Brothers, is ex pected to open in late August or at least by the beginning of fall tcim at the University. The old Sigma Ciii house was demolished after the fraternity sold the lot with the intention of building a new house oil another site. A contest to select a name for the new shop was recently run through Emerald advertisements, but the name has not yet been • nnouncc-d. Advertisement Constitution Spring term has aroused the usual discussion of ASUO con stitution. The discussion is as regular as the swallows in Capis trano. Bird twitterings, wings flapping in the air. the sap flow ing in the trees equally herald the time of the sun and the con stitution. One constitution that stays the same throughout t h e year is that nourished by Dairy Oueen ice cream, a delicious con stitution builder. It's available at , 13th and Hilyard. I--—---- .
