Conduct Committee Drops Library Jurisdiction Case By SA1.I.Y Sll AltItAltl) Of Ihr Kmrrald The Student Conduct Com mittee dismissed ;in appeal in volving library fines in their meeting Tuesday after t w o weeks of consideration The committee also discuss ed the absence of Associate Dean of Students Philip Beal from recent committee meetings. Beal was allegedly assaulted by a student earlier this month and no formal action has been taken yet. Discussion about library fines centered on the question wheth er the Student Conduct Com mittee had the authority to es tablish lines and the authority to enforce rules regarding fines or not. It was brought out in a letter to the committee front Mike Kasl land, student prosecutor, that the State Board of Higher Kducation established a 25 rent fine lor overdue books. This fine is the same throughout the entire state system. Terry Hammons, student de fender, stated the State Board makes no other rules or regula $200 Up to 2 Years ^To Pay lions and thus loaves the rule making and enforcement up to the University. Therefore, Ham mons implied, since the faculty delegated the authority to the Conduct Committee to enforce campus regulations, it should have authority in this situation. Herbert Titus, associate pro lessor of law and a committee member, contended since the State Board has control over all tines collected, then only the State Board has the authority to m a k e regulations regarding tines. The head librarian con sequentjy has the authority to make library regulations such as when a book should be over due because he belongs to the Library Council, a body under the State Board. When it came down to a vote, the committee decided the is sue was not within its bounds and dismissed the appeal 4 to 1, with Bruce Brothers, law stu (lent, the only dissenting mem ber. The committee did not take any action on the alleged as sault by a student on Associate Dean of Students, Philip Beal. Last week the committee re quested an acting associate dean of students be appointed by University President Arthur S. Flemming to handle this case alone, but no action has been taken by Flemming. The committee did discuss Beal’s absence from the com mittee meetings. He has not at tended a meeting since the al leged assault Beal is secretary of the conduct committee and assists the committee in the dis charge of its responsibilities. Members of the committee asked that President Flemming be notified by letter of Beal’s absence but no action was taken on this. According to Bruce Brothers, the action was requested be cause some of the members feit his absence made it difficult for the committee to discharge its duties. Beal later stated to the Emer ald that his primary reason for not attending was because the issue of the acting dean of stu dents has not been settled. "Because of this, I feel it would be inappropriate that I be there," he said. He also com mented, "This is not to say there are not other problems but 1 haven’t had the oppor tunity to discuss them with the president.” Today, the committee will dis cuss the campus traffic and park ing regulations.
