Committee Drops Chaperone Rule I»y CLIFF HANlMCItl.lN editorial Page Editor The University now has no ruin requiring chaperones for house functions. The Conduct Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to delete the chaperonage rule of the So ciul Activities section of the Code. The Committee will suggest that u rule, which will probably be more of the nature of a recom mendation, be placed in the Stu dent Activities Committee's new draft. This will make it impossible for the University to sanction an organization, under the Conduct Code, for failure to obtain chap erones. The Activities Committee will have no direct sanctioning p o w e r According to Conduct Committee chairman Wendell Kasye, professor of law, this ac tion will by no means close the Conduct Committee to a future rule pertaining to chaperones, if the Student Activities Committee finds it necessary. As it stands at this point, all of the existing rules under the Stu dent Activities section of the Code have been deleted, with the exception of an amendment that was made winter term forbidding drinking at University-sponsored functions. The Conduct Commit tee has turned over all these reg ulations to the Student Activities Committee. In other business Wednesday, the Conduct Committee heard a report from student prosecutor Greg Heed regarding an investi gation he had made of a panty raid at a sorority. Kecd had been asked to in vestigate the case by chairman Itasye last week after a report from a joint IFC Tribunal and I’anhellenic Judiciary Committee. A question arose last week as to whether the men involved, live fruternity brothers, should be Open to Press, Guests Budget Meetings Closed to Public The Student Union and Educa tional Activities Budget Board voted Wednesday to open its final meetings to the press and invited guests, but not the gen eral public. In a motion made by ASUO Senatorat large Gene Sokolski and amended by ASIJO President Steve Goldschmidt the Board voted: • That the press will he ad mitted to the meeting hut that it will not be made a public meeting. • That members of the Board will be allowed to invite observ ers to listen in on the discus sions but not to speak. • That members of the Board will be allowed to invite outside persons to discuss one particular budget and then leave. The Board's first “decision” meeting will be held Sunday at 7:30 p m. in the Student Union. In the past the hearings on the various budgets, which were com pleted Monday, have always been open to the press but the final meetings in which the budget is balanced and finalized have been closed. Chairman William C. Jones, dean of administration, posed the problem the committee will have this way: They have $295,515 in estim ated income from student fees, plus $34,404 in profits from the services provided by the Student Union. That gives the Budget Manuscripts Given To UO Library A collection of literary papers that includes a letter from Ernest Hemingway and a sheet of Wil liam Faulkner manuscript has been placed in the University li brary by novelist-biographer Rob ert Cantwell, associate editor of Sports Illustrated. The files contain drafts and manuscripts of Cantwell's books and articles in various stages of creation, in addition to unpub lished manuscripts and correspon dence. The correspondence includes letters from James T. Farrell, Er skine Caldwell, and John Dos Passos, in addition to the long letter from Hemingway. The Faulkner manuscript is in the author’s minute, almost un-, decipherable hand. Cantwell wrote the introduction to Faulk ner’s “Sartoris” for the Signet edition. Cantwell, a native of Wash ington, attended the University of Washington. Cantwell was on the staff of Time and Fortune magazines, serving as associate editor of Time from 1938 to 1945. Board a total of $329,979 to work with. Cost of operation (salaries, wages, etc ), of the building will he $231,246, which leaves $98, 723 to use for programs. But the requests for programs total $152,048.50, which means that the Budget Board must cut some place to the tune of $53, 315.50. Dean Jones said the likely pro cedure would be to see what could he cut out of operating ex pense for the Student Union, then to proceed to cutting programs. Those programs which have their budgets reduced or cut out entirely will be placed on a pri ority list and submitted to a committee which will review all incidental fee budgets and may finance some of those cut pro grams. prosecuted individually or whe ther the whole house should he disciplined. Heed said that he found in his investigation that no one was willing to divulge the names of the five men or to turn the case over to the associate dean of stu dents for possible trial in student court. So the matter will have to he dropped. Basye said the point that was brought up last week was that "we thought we had a pretty good arrangement with IFC as far as group sanctions are concerned ... that they recognized they live under the Code the same as those in the dormitories. And this (raid) is a violation of the Con duct Code.” Assembly Group Seeks Applicants Applications for the new A8UO Assembly Committee, to consist of eight students and two faculty members, are due at 5 p.m. today in the ASCO of fice, room 310 of the Student Union.

Basye added, "just because he’s a member of the fraternity sys tem doesn't mean he should be prosecuted under the Code. It j looks like the system is trying to ' protect him.” Associate Dean of Students Francis Nickerson said there ! seems to be a growing sentiment among the fraternity houses against sheltering individual mem bers against the law of the Uni versity. As its final piece of business, the Committee looked at the rough draft of the annual report which is to be presented to the faculty and University President. A couple of points about last year’s activities of the Commit tee and Student Court was that there have been 13 cases of plagiarism as compared to 5 cases for the previous year. Dean Nick erson said more faculty are re ferring cases to Student Court. Also, Student Court has been giving out more work sanctions (called "probation plus”) to male students, according to Greg Reed, especially in major cases which might involve expulsion, due to i the Viet Nam situation. Two new members of the Con duct Committee began their terms on the Committee Wedncv day. They are Jean Palmer and Dave McCloskey. "STICK" Jernstedt on the CO-OP BOARD S.V).
