The general statement includes the application of academic free dom to limitation on the expres sion of viewpoints, students’ po litical action groups, freedom of research, the teacher speaking as a citizen, removal of faculty members, loyalty oaths, records kept on students, access to in formation, and the right to dem onstrate. The part decrying loyalty oaths drew most of the discussion.

Pruitt defended that provision. “I think we’d have a far better University if we had a few Com munists on the faculty,” he said. "We have to be able to confront these ideas openly.” Marvin Feuerberg, also a sen ator - at - large, said “I would even recommend that a Commu nist be hired at the University, one who is really academically qualified.” Larry Beathe disagreed. “1 know it’s not populrr with most of the members of tiiis Senate,” he said of his view, "but I’d be hypocritical not to raise it.” Gary Feuerberg said the gen Musicians to Play Modern Jazz At HC Discussion “Modern Jazz: Is it culture?” is the topic for the Monday night Honors College discussion at 8 p.m. today in the HC Lounge. There will be a performance by jazz musicians in an effort to dem onstrate rather than explain verb ally particular moods of contem porary jazz which make it a pro gressive study and an art form. Members of the student Union Jazz Committee will be present to help with the discussion: any one interested in attending is welcome. I oral statement should have been | tabled "because we should think ; about this issue and devise our own policy rather than use some body's else’s.” The motion, in troduced by Chairman of Com mittees Jim Heat was taken from the National Student Association stand on academic freedom. The second part of Beat's bill on St. John’s drew strong oppose tion from Tom Page, upperclass men’s dormitory representative. Page argued that the faculty members at St. John’s were fired because they didn’t go along I with the goals of the Catholic i school. The bill about the English in ! structor, Maurice Legris, was in troduced by Senator-at-large Lee Bollinger. His bill said Legris’ : ruling that members of his class could not wear jeans or shorts i “oversteps the bounds of aca I demic freedom.” Marvin Feuerberg calls Legris' actions “a flagrant violation of I student rights.” He moved to amend the bill to ask Legris to appear before the Senate and make his views known, but his amendment failed, j A motion to postpone action ' on the bill until the next meeting ^ also failed. Pruitt said “It's time we start , ed getting angry with the faculty. We don’t have to always be nice to the faculty.” IFC to Conform on Visiting Rule The Inter Fraternity. Council (IFC) voted Thursday to go along with the Conduct Committee’s de cision to let women visit men’s living groups without chaperones present. Each fraternity house will set up its own guidelines on visiting hours for coeds, although sorority closing hours will serve as the limits for visiting. Female visitors will be restrict ed to the public areas of houses, such as living rooms, dining rooms, and dens. IFC also voted to drop the rule which in the past has placed on social probation any house with a grade average .1 below the all - mens' grade average. The rule was dropped, accord ing to IFC President Itoger Qual man, because there has been no relationship between social acti vity on the group level and poor grades of students in the groups. Tribunal chairman Andy Jor dan discussed a proposed joint committee which will he formed by (he Panhellenic Judiciary Board and the IFC Tribunal. The committee will review problems between fraternities and sorori ties. Plans are now being formulat ed for the formation of this Joint committee. Other business consisted of a discussion of the plans for the an nual 1KC Banquet, to be held on March 3.
