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

ing a survey on student views on

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.
