In Conduct Committee By CLIFF 8ANDERLIN Staff Writer Recognition Withdrawal Rights Debated Whether the Student Activities Committee should have the rifjtit to withdraw recognition of groups, or whether that power should be reserved only for the Conduct Committee, was dls cussed Wednesday at the Stu dent Conduct Committee meet in*. In discussing the Student Ac Indies Committee policy, Wen dell Hasyc, professor of law and chairman of the Conduct Com mittee, said that since the other committee has the power to rec ognize groups, it should also be able to withdraw recognition, as a sanction. All the members of the Con duct Committee present at the meeting agreed they would rather h ave the recognition of groups in the hands of the Activities Com mittee. "Recognition of groups is just too big a job," Basye said. Hob Carl, student member of the Committee, said if a Univer sity rule is involved In a case where recognition is to be with drawn, then the rase would fall under a rule in Section 1-B of the Conduct Code. Carl added he wants to make sure that in any cases involving withdrawal cd recognition, the group be given due process. "And the Conduct Committee probably has the best machinery and procedure to pro vide this,” he said. Inside Code Carl continued, "I want to keep student conduct and sanctioning power by the University of a group or individual within the Code I hate to see it get outside the Code because I see dangers that more and more people will want this authority, and here we are offering a precedent.” Carl said originally he felt delegating the Student Activities Committee this authority and re serving an appellate right for the Conduct Committee would work out He said, "in actual prac tice, 1 think it would he good enough; hut in principle I don't think it would suit me." iiasye said the Committee "made a mistake" when it al lowed the application of the Code to group offenses, and that he would rather have fewer dealings with groups. liidlviduail.s Only Basye said the (’ode was origi nailv intended to handle individ uals, and that the only reason the group offenses section was added was to take care of a case that came up in which an indi vidual was not identifiable enough by himself to be prosecuted under the Code. Hut it happened under the cir cumstances that a whole group of them were, "so they threw the sanction at the whole group," Basye said. Basye said the thing that bothered him about the possi AT COLE'S Students & Faculty Get 10% DISCOUNT on cash purchases $1.00 & over AT TIME OF PURCHASE bility of having all conduct, group or Individual, under the Code, was that . . the group doesn't act except through the individ uals It's the conduct of the indi vidual we should be interested in ” ''Hut,” he said, “as far as the Student Activities Committee and responsibilities here on campus, I can certainly visualize them coming up with a pretty strong commitment and ultimately han tiling withdrawal of recognition of groups with a great deal of ; efficiency.” Has Become involved Carl argued that now that the Committee has become involved in croup sanctioning and that it has become equipped to do so, "we had better stay with our policy all the way through . . . I’m not saying the Student Ac tivities Committee can’t handle it, though.” In discussing the authority of the Conduct Committee in de ciding whether group offenses have or have not been committed, Basye expressed concern at the upcoming case of racial discrimi nation. involving Sigma Chi fra ternity. "We’re in the business of dis ciplines,” Basye said. "And when you get out of the area of disci pline, I agree (with Carl) that one committee of high level ad ministrators could solve all the problems of the University.” Basye added. “We're a student faculty committee and there are other student faculty committees, ! and if we arrogate to the Stu dent Conduct Committee every thing in this University we’re going to pass on, ultimately we're going to lose some of the dis cretion of the Committee." Civil Rights Jesse Puckett, associate pro fessor of physical education, said, "I would hate to see this Com mittee get involved with the set tling of the civil rights issue It seems almost as if that ought to be in the hands of a special I administrative ad hoc commit tee, top level . . . We're orient ' ed to the purpose of the Code in terms of conduct and students Panel to Explore Contemporary Art "So What'7 # II,” a public pro gram in a discussion series ex ploring ideas suggested by the University’s Festival of Arts, is j scheduled for 4 p m. today in 106 Lawrence.

Jordan said a recommenda tion was made by and accepted from a committee set up to han dle the problem brought about by the recent deletion of visiting hour rules by the Conduct Com mittee. The recommendation that was accepted by IFC was that “wom en will be allowed in all frater nities without a chaperone, ac cording to sorority and women’s dorms visiting hours . . . from 0 a.m. until li p.m. on week days and till 1 am. on week ends.” Submit Lists Jordan said that by Thursday each house has to submit to the Tribunal a list of what it con siders areas open to visiting, for approval from that body. Jordan said that policy was up to individual houses. In business dealt with in its Tuesday night meeting, the Con dust Committee: • Discussed the parking regu lation which had been formulated by the Campus Planning Com mittee and approved last by the Committee in 1964, but tabled a motion for reapproval until it had a chance to discuss them with Associate Dean of Students Fran cis Nickerson, who was absent from the meeting with Asian Flu. • Approved an amendment to Section I I E-2 of the Code, which gives Student Court final appeal in cases other than those involv ing disciplinary probation. • Recommended to the facul ty that section lB3a of the Code be amended so as not to prohibit drinking by persons 21 and over at a University function. The previous wording had been that the “possession, consump tion, or furnishing of alcoholic beverages” was not allowed on University owned or controlled property or in University-related housing (except married housing) and “at University sponsored or supervised functions.” It was changed to read “in cases involving minors at University recognized or supervised func tions.” This prohibits only minors from drinking at such functions unless they are held on Univer sity property. • Put in the record that the Committee wants student mem bers appointed by the University i President upon recommendation of the ASUO president. This is done now even though it is not specifically provided in the Code. The Code does say that all mem bers of the Student Court and j minor courts must be recom-, mended by the ASUO president. • Decided to discuss with the dormitory administration a pro vision now in the Code that sets I up special closing hours of 1 a m. on weekend following finals, j Pam Bladine, a student member of the Committee, noted that 1 a m. is already the weekend clos ing hours. Miss Puckett said this rule was put into effect to benefit foreign students who stay in the dormitories during vacations. • Voted to send copies of the Code to every student and fac ulty member every year. They are now sent only to new students. ■Sla.ntla.nl BEAUTY SUPPLY COMPLETE BEAUTY SUPPLIES FOR EVERYONE • COSMETICS • HAIR COLORING • SHAMPOOS • COLD WAVES • SHOP SUPPLIES • HAIR 8PRAYS • WIG SUPPLIES • WIGS Mon thru Sat—Fri. ’til 9 832 Willamette St., Eugene THIS FRIDAY DON and THE COOD HUES AT THE TORK CLUB 8:30*12:30 Members $2.00, Non-Members $2.50 4732 Franklin Blvd. WHW4W'»W»i"H Ull 1 1 I' I I 1 1111 11 Mi 11 ALL SWEATERS ARE NOW HALF-PRICE AT VAUGHN'S Includes entire stock of 'V' NECKS —CARDIGANS —SLEEVELESS YEAR ROUND 35% REDUCTION ON ALL MERCHANDISE Daily till 6:00— Thursday till 9:00 VAUGHN'S "IN THE UNIVERSITY DISTRICT" 1225 Alder 344-2701 THE PROS” ARE COMING The San Francisco Warriors VS.
