Committee Drops Chaperone Rule

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.

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.

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.”

! He said that without the sub
poena power, or other means, it

| lesson we might learn is maybe
there ought to he some way to
rectify this situation," he said.
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.
