Responsible Student Body Needed for Conduct Code The University Student Con duct Code presumes that the stu dent body is composed of mature and responsible individuals. The whole philosophy of the Code is based on this presumption. The implementation of the Code, since the program is only entering its third year, is still in the experimental stage, and during the past two years many important procedural improve ments have been made However, the structure of the system, while subject to change at times, has been fairly rigid. For exaihple, Associate Dean of Students Francis B Nickerson co-ordinates the activities and functions of the various groups and committees that arc involved in discharging the Code. Nickerson has been in this ca pacity since the Code was ap proved He serves as executive secretary of the Student Conduct Committee, and the entire Uni versity discipline program is han dled through his oflice Conduct Committee The Student Conduct Commit tee, composed of four faculty and three student members, is the policy-making body of the Code. The Committee, however, may take original jurisdiction in any case, and serves as a court of appeal from the Student Court. Wendell Basye, professor of law, is chairman of the committee. The Court is composed of five student and two faculty members. The chairman is usually a third year law student The Student Court hears cases involving the more serious offenses allegedly committed by a student, or group of students. A court prosecutor presents the evidence against the student or group; the accused may hire a professional lawyer to defend him, and there are ai-1 ways various Law School stu dents willing to defend a student It is wise to seek some sort of legal aid if you are accused of violating the Code The minor courts, totaling six during tlie lffci-145 school year, are the busiest in terms of num ber of case* heard because they deal with the less important at-' leged violations Dick Rapp will serve as the advisor to the minor courts for the upcoming year Five students constitute a minor court. Traffic Court Traffic court, consisting of five students, recommends changes to the Campus Planning Committee about the use of cars on campus, and hears the cases of students who may appeal their parking citations received on campus. Various sanctions may be is-, sued by the different judicial bodies; but only the Conduct Committee and Student Court can suspend or expel a student. Even more important, however, is the fart that, according to the Code: "No sanction or other disciplin ary action shall be imposed on a student by or in the name of the University except in accordance with the Code." This means that students have a "right to a fair trial.” Serious Violations The most serious violations, with their accompanying punish ments arc listed below: English Prof Dies Sept. 1 Norman Hubert Oswald, assis tant professor of English, died Sept. 1 in Eugene following a brief illness. He was 57. Oswald, who had been ori the University faculty since 1946, taught courses in satire and Shakespeare. He was the Eng lish department representative in the interdisciplinary program for the master’s degree. Oswald received his B.A. de gree from Heed College and his M.A. and Ph D. degrees from the University of California, Berk eley. He taught at Berkeley be fore coming to Oregon. A memorial fund for Oswald is in the care of Kester Svendsen, head of the English department. Expulsion or suspension from the University or any lesser sanc tion may result from commission of any of these next offenses: academic cheating and plagiar ism; furnishing false information to the University with the intent I to deceive; forgery, alteration, or misuse of University documents, records, or identification cards; physical abuse of another person in the University community; Malicious destruction, damage or misuse of University property, including library materials, or of private property on the campus; theft <although, students will not usually be punished for an off campus crime); vandalism or kid napping committed on other cam puses; participation in hazing; lewd or indecent conduct; two or more lesser offenses. l/csser Offenses Disciplinary probation of any lesser sanction may result from the commission of any of the following offenses; Possession, consumption, o r furnishing of alcoholic beverages on University owned or controlled property (except in married stu dent housing), in University related houstng for single stu dents, or at University-affiliated or supervised functions; disorder ly conduct; raiding of Univer sity affiliated living organizations; violation of closing hour restric tions; violation of visiting hour rules; violation of any Univer sity rule approved by the Student Conduct Committee, with such punishments set. The above rules relate only to individual students and do not apply to group offenses. At the present time, the group offense situation is very confused. Some groups, such as the fratern ities and sororities, are allowed to judge one another, and what happens to them is seldom pub licly divulged. There are other trouble spots, either actual or potential, but the Student Conduct Committee has been attempting to iron them out and will continue to do so. Other areas that bear watching center around closing hours— University President Flemming is pledged to removing closing hours for sophomores and juniors in the future; end-of-the-term difficulty in the dormitories; lack of equality in carrying out the functions of the Code in respect to where a student lives. In other words, dorm students are under more supervision than Greeks and therefore, are more likely to' get caught violating the Code. However, the biggest problem and the hardest to tackle stems from the indifference shown by the members of the student body.. Unless the students know and un- i derstand the Code, the system will not work. Patronize Emerald Advertisers!
