vent the "on thc-spot rule-mak

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

provisions are in effect, and arc

«*<i with dissatisfaction to two
areas of the current program.
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.

ed in Mr. Luvaas's comment that
the students cannot see that the
conduct code is providing any
concrete results in their favor.
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.

Spring term has aroused the
usual discussion of ASUO con
stitution. The discussion is as
regular as the swallows in Capis

flapping in the air. the sap flow

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
