Splits on
U'
By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN
As the student power movement
of November 1966 fizzled out1
amidst cold weather and final ex-
aminations, President Harlan
Hatcher annonunced the forma-
tion of a tri-partite commission
to define the role of the student
in the University decision-making
process.L
Tomorrow, after over d year of
study, the commission will issue
a draft of its final report. But
agreement on the very basic issue
of where authority for student
discipline resides has yet to be
reached.
Commission members are ex-
pected to recommend that the Of-
fice of Student Affairs be re-i
defined as essentially a service
organization without Judicial
powers. Assuming the OSA's rule-
making power would be a tri-
partite Campus Council ..omposed
of students, faculty and adminis-
trators, . which would make all
University-wide regulations.
However, disagreement over
what kind of body should be
granted the power to hear cases
arising under the rules made by
the Campus Council may force
the commission to issue a minor-
ity and majority report.
"There's an issue, and it's ratlh-
er a basic ideological issue, as
to whether the individual schools
and colleges should be involved
in discipline," explains Dean Ste-
phen Spurr of the graduate
school.
The ideological gap among
members of the commission is so
great that when an attempt to
write a basic policy statement was
made a few months ago, a con-
sensus could not be reache:l. None-
theless, the commission has g'ne3
ahead with concrete proposals
for the creation of a mechanism
to enforce rules made by Campus
Council.
Student members of the m
mission have proposed that a
Joint University Committee (JUC)
composed of seven students andj
three regularly non-voting faculty
members be given the responsibil-
ity for enforcing Unive':s ty-wide
rules.
But some faculty and admin-
istrators on the commission see
problems with this proposal.
Spurr says that he is "a little
bit more of a pragmatist" than
the students. He contends the in-
terests of the public, expressed by
the Regents, and (f the faculty, as
well as students, must be consid-
ered in the decision-making pro-
cess.
Commission chairman Inis
Claude of the political science de-I
partment hopes that an "option
for the college or school not to
join" in the JUC plan will be in-
cluded in the final report of the
commission.
1iClaude points out two Gbjec-
tions to making participation in
JUC compulsory. He wants to ex-
empt "particularly a professional
school with professional standards
to enforce." In addition, he says
"students may feel that their peers j
are students from their own col-
lege rather than students in gen-{
eral ."
Student Government Council
President Bruce Kahn calls the;
professional school argument "a
sham." He says, "In suspension or
expulsion the colleges have the
authorityanyway." Kahn says the
basic problem is that faculty
members are "really up-tight
about their status."
However, the commission is not
divided along strictly student-
faculty lines. Dean James Robert-
son of the Residential College fa-
vors giving JUC full jower to en-
force University-wide rules.
"There needs to be a Univer-
sity rule-making group of stu-
dents, faculty and administrators
for conduct in non-academic
areas," Robertson says. "Then it
makes sense to have a University1
judiciary to Manage these iues."
Robertson says JUC ;hould be
given "a full chanice to demon-
strate its competence" before con-
sideration is given to letting the
colleges have separate judicial
bodies.
Prof. Maurice Sinnott of the
engineering school sees the split
of the commission as very basic.
"If you can't agree that the facul-
ty has more rights (than stu-
dents) there are going to be dis-
agreements," he says.
Sinnott points to the fact that;
"several colleges currently havel
judiciaries" and concludes that
the proposal which would make
JUC the sole judge of University-
wide regulations "just won't sell."
Spurr agrees. "Some of the pro-
fessional schools will have strong
feelings" about their ethical codes,
he says. "We are all agreed that;
the explicit ethical and moral
codes can best be enforced by the
individual schools and colleges."

Graduate Assemblypassed a resolution last night calling
for a Day of Deliberation March 19 and a boycott of classes
March 20 to protest the war and the draft.
The resolution calls for a 24 hour period of lectures, work-
shops, and study groups, in addition to a suspension of formal
classes for all students March 20.
Roy Ashmall, author of the proposal and former presi-
dent of GA, called the Day of Deliberation "A day of involve-
ment for students and faculty alike."
The resolution passed by a 20-5 vote states, "If classes are
not suspended during that period, the Assembly strongly
urges students and faculty to refrain from attendance at
these classes."
The Day of Deliberation will begin March 19 at 4 p.m.

One of the men, Robert .Ball,

by military police and put in a

to Hyman. "He was asking ques-
tions like, 'Why were we locked
up just because we had our opin-

All five men, with about twen-
ty-five others, had reported to
the induction center to take their
military physicals. When they ar-
rived at the military base, they
were ordered to "give up the pa-
pers." said Hyman.
Later,dabout "ten to twelve

were "roughed up."

The riot at Alcorn, located deep
in rural southwest Mississippi, was

a Negro college in the past two
weeks.
Classes were closed at South
