Rule Violators Dismissed at Berkeley BERKELEY, Calif (CPS) — Two University of California at Berkeley students charged with violatin'’ campus rules on non - student organizations were dis missed from school and a third was placed on disciplinary pro hat ion last week by Chancellor Huger I Icy ns. Between 13 and 16 other stu dents charged \vith violating the same rules will have a public hearing before a faculty hearing official this week. Michael Smith, 25, formerly a senior in political science, and Steven Hamilton, 21, formerly a senior in history, were dismiss ed effective immediately. Both would have graduated in June. Paul (Busman, a freshman in letters and sciences, was placed on ili iciplinary probation until the end of the semester. Second Time This is the second time Heyns who took over as Berkeley chan cellor last October, has dismiss ed students for violating univer- j sity rules Earlier last week he j announced the dismissal of gradu- ! ate student Susan Stein for re 1 fusing to abide by the terms of j her disciplinary probation. Miss Stein was placed on pro- i Imtion after a faculty hearing off! ! cer found she had violated rules hy speaking at an illegal Viet Nam Day Committee rally during the registration week for the cur rent semester. Sin then refused to attend a weekly meeting with the dean of women, required of all women on disciplinary probation. Hamilton and Smith were charged with illegally manning the I'eace/Hights Organizing Committee table on four occa sions last month. The organiza tion does not qualify as a stu dent group since it has some non students on its executive commit tee; therefore, it is not allowed, under the campus rules, to set up a table on campus. In addition, the two were found to have given a "contemptuous and insulting refusal to desist" Survey Made On Recreation .tack Cross, associate director of the Student Union, is conduct ing a survey on student views on the question of on-campus recrca tion space. Students who want to fill out a questionnaire can pick one up between 8 a m and 5 p.m. in room 301 or 304 in the Student Union. The questionnaires will be available until April 30. Cross is also conducting another survey with the form. He sent it out to 131 students on a random; sample. He said Wednesday that 37 had been returned and urged that all students who received the questionaire in the mail return it. J1F-E WE SERVE RIBS THINGS Ht‘tween Ililyard and Alder On 25th Street Phone 313-0916 Student Special BURGER FRIES & COKE SAT. & SUN. ONLY (April 23 and 24) Here's the way to go . . . Down Hilyard to 25th street two blocks past the Very Little Theatre. Turn left... you can’t miss it!! Don't Forget Our Famous . . . 19c JIF-E BURGER when directed to cease manning the tables by a university offi cial. They were charged with both “obstructing enforcement of campus rules and encouraging others to do likewise, leading to acts of extreme rudeness and even rowdyism.” Both refused to show university officials their reg istration cards when asked to do so. Glusman, who was only placed on probation, had manned the table only once but had refused to leave the table when asked to do so by a university official. He did show his registration card when asked. Followed Recommendations Heyns* decision followed the recommendations of the Faculty Committee on Student Conduct which had considered the three cases in late March. At that time the students walked out after the committee refused their demands that there be an open hearing, that all students charged with vio lating the same rule be heard to gether, and that the committee question the constitutionality of the rule under which they were charged. The dismissals have created rel atively little talk on the Ber i - I keley campus. One possible ex planation is that most students were away for Easter vacation at the time the last two were dis missed and only returned to campus during the weekend Still, there has been little talk of the dismissals on the campus, sev eral students reported, even though it is generally known that they took place. Lone Reaction The lone student reaction seems to be that from a delega tion of 14 that marched to Hcyns’ office just hours before Hamil ton and Smith learned of the chancellor’s decision. These stu-j dents presented a list of demands i concerning the three students. In eluded was a "complicity list” signed by 48 people demandiag equal punishment for others wlk> said they had broken the sarae rules and a petition from V/. E. B. DuBois Club protesting the cita tions. The group was not able to meet with Heyns, however, aad left after leaving their names with his secretary. Hamilton and Smith will have to get special permission to re enter the university, as both said they hoped to do. In addition, Smith will lose a Work-Study Program job as a physical edu cation instructor at a Berkeley elementary school since he is ao longer a student.
