Reclassification Void;
Draft Not Punitive
WASHINGTON (API A Jus
tice Department official said in a
1< tier made public Tuesday that
the draft laws cannot Ik* used to
inuffic any "constitutionally pro
tccted" expression of views —
such as student protests against
T S actions in Viet Nam
The letter, from Asst Atty
Gen Fred M Vinson Jr. was
made public by Sen, Philip Hart,
D Mich, who had protested Se
leetive Service Director Lewis
Hersliey's action to reclassify
as 1A a number of University of
Michigan youths involved in a
draft board sit in
llershey had told Hart in a
letter that he was authorized by
a presidential executive order to
reclassify men "found to Ik* de
linquent under the Selective
Service Act."
Hart had asked the Justice
Department to comment on that
Vinson said in his letter that
we know of no executive order
or of any pronouncement by this
department indicating either con
currence or disagreement with
the views expressed in General
Hershoy's letter or in the action
taken by the Selective Service
System."
Vinson added that “1 am satis
fied, as a matter of both law and
policy, that sanctions of the Uni
versal Military Training and Serv
ice Act cannot be used to stifle
constitutionally protected expres
sions of views "
The sit-in students were con
victed of trespass under an Ann
Arbor, Mich , ordinance Hut Hart
said in his statement: "No court
ever ruled that the Selective
Service Act was violated — only
General Hershey. And he cites
as his authority an executive
order that the Justice Depart
ment says is non-existent "
Faculty to Discuss Code...
(Continued frum I)
sional school. Associate Dean of
Faculties Charles Duncan said
chances are good that the pro
gram will be accredited once it
is a separate professional school.
If the faculty approves the mo
tions to establish the two new
professional schools. President
Flemming will have to request
permission from the State Hoard
of Higher Kducation to do so.
This will undoubtedly take some
time, since the faculty will have
to approve the final plans that
will be submitted to the Board.
Besides discussing the two new
schools, the faculty will also vote
on a motion to amend the group
offense section of the Student
Conduct Code Chairman Wen
dell Basye, representing the Stu
dent Conduct Committee, will
plead the Committee's case con
corning the suggestion to delete
the word "law" from section I D.
of the Code.
Unanimous Recommendation
The recommendation, which
was passed unanimously by the
four faculty members and three
students serving on the Conduct
Committee, is intended to make
University-recognized groups re
sponsible for complying with Uni
versity regulations, and will de
lete civil law from any part of
the Code.
In other words, Conduct Com
mittee members have said that
they feel that their recommen
dation will make the group of
fense section of the Code com
patible with the philosophy of
the Code, which is an attempt to
separate civil law and University
regulations.
Despite the Committee mem
| tiers' unanimous support of the
recommendation, the Faculty
Senate recommended not to ap
prove the motion last Wednesday.
Also on the agenda is a motion
by Jack Wilkinson, head of the
department of fine and applied
arts, to establish an undergrade
ate council to “help generate in
1 creased concern for undergradu
ate teaching by providing a clear
ing house for concepts and sug
gestions from both students and
faculty."
Undergraduate Council
The proposed council would
consist of six faculty members
appointed by Flemming on the
recommendation of the Univer
sity Committee on Committees
and six students appointed by
ASUO President Steve Gold
j schmidt.
According to Wilkinson’s no
tice of motion, the council is in
tended to be purely advisory and
is an attempt to keep the chan
nels of communication between
faculty and students open.
The faculty will also consider a
motion to instruct the Faculty
Senate to investigate the “dry
zone” surrounding the Univer
sity, and report its findings back
to the general faculty next month.
The faculty will meet at 4 p m.
today in room 150 Science. The
meeting is open only to faculty
members; all others are excluded,
except by invitation.

Oregonian Charged
After Berlin Escape
BERLIN (AP) — A former
Portland State College student
faces possible court marshall for
helping three persons escape
from East Berlin.
Pfc. Michael R. Herman, 21, of
Portland, is accused of loaning
military uniforms for the East
Germans to wear while getting
through Checkpoint Charlie.
East German police do not
check men in uniform. Army offi
School Refuses
To Admit Iraqi
KLAMATH FALLS (UPI) —
Winston Purvine, president of
Oregon Technical Institute, Mon
day formally denied Iraqi stu
dent Omar Al-Nawan admittance
to OTI, citing the student’s “dis
ruptive tendencies.”
Al-Nawam has been conducting
a running battle with the OTI
administration over alleged dis
crimination by the school in re
quiring him to live on campus.
He took his case to state officials
but last week Warne Nunn, Gov.
Mark Hatfield’s administrative as
sistant, announced the governor’s
office would conduct no further
investigation.
Al-Nawam Friday sought re
admittance to school, but was in
formally denied admittance.
Monday Purvine issued this
statement:
“My decision was between two
alternatives: Re admitting Mr. Al
Nawam who demonstrated dis
ruptive tendencies while an ac
tive student in 1964 and 1965 and
denying re-admission to insure
that classes affected would pro
ceed normally.
“My statement is made only
because the ex-student released
information about his personal
relationship and defiance of rules
as public information.”
cials said this incident endan
gers the immunity.
Herman told a Portland news
paper by telephone Tuesday:
“I thought I was helping other
human beings find freedom.”
He spoke from the Army stock
ade, where Spc. 4 William G. Tay
lor, Hermitage, Tenn., also is be
ing held, accused of taking part
in the incident.
“I didn’t know the people per
sonally. I was never actually in
contact with them. Someone alse
was,” said Herman.
Police said three West Berlin
men also have been arrested in
the case. They said this is what
happened:
The Army men provided uni
forms for two men. One of the
West Berlin men went into East
Berlin with an Austrian pass
port. He took in the uniforms.
U S. license plates were put on
his car for the trip out. Two
male refugees wore Army uni
forms and two women hid in the
car.
Once past the East Berlin
checkpoint, the car raced past
the West Berlin checkpoint and
escaped from a U S. Military Po
lice car that gave chase.
The escape occurred Dec. 19.
Herman is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Rudolph J. Herman, Port
land. He enlisted in 1963 after
graduation from high school and
a term at Portland State Col
lege.
He served 13 months in Korea,
then applied for duty in Ger
many, where he has been nine
months.
He said he had been thinking
of a career in the Army, “but
I’m not so sure now.”
