Riopelle Meat Packing Co. has
been found guilty of short weigh-
ing Sigma Nu fraternity, and was
fined $50 by District -Court Judge
S. J. Eldon, April 29.
Sigma Nu steward Carl Stevens
said he was "disappointed" by the
lightness of the sentence. The
maximum fine is $100.
Robert C. .Murphy, a state in-
spector for the agriculture dept.,
testified that after he weighed the
Riopelle shipment for Feb. 11, he
found a difference of 11 pounds
13 ounces between the amount of
meat specified on the bill and the
amount of meat actually received
by Sigma Nu.
Murphy also testified that the
weighing was conducted in the
presence of the Riopelle truck
driver, county sealer Robert Har-
ter, and Kurt DeVries, a member
of Sigma Nu Fraternity.
Ernest Riopelle defended his
position by claiming that he and
the steward, Stevens, had an
agreement at the beginning of the
year on how the meats were to
be cut.
Riopelle contended that the
weight discrepancies occurred be-
cause officials failed to include
the weight of the juices in the
bags in their final tabulations.
Riopelle also said he and Stev- cash prizes.

G'rop recommends
retaningtmester
By ERIKA HOFF
The calendar committee created last fall by President Robben
Fleming to study the trimester system has recommended the reten-
tion of the program with four modifications.
In an oral report to the Senate Assembly April 21, committee
chairman assistant dean George Hay of the graduate school outlined
the revisions proposed by the committee.
-classes for the fall term should not begin before Labor Day.
--spring break should be extended to a full week.
- an extra study day should be provided for in the spring term.
- additional funds should be made available so that a wider va-
riety of courses could be offered during spring and summer terms.
However, Fidele Fauri, dean of the social work school and a com-
mittee member says the calendar revisions could not be adopted be-
fore the 1971-72 school year. "The calendars for the next two years
are already set," he explains.
The calendar committee was set up by Fleming in response to the
Kelley Resolution of the Faculty Senate made last April which- called
for a' study of the financial and educational implications of the tri-
mester system.
The resolution specified the pxoblems of time pressure on both
facilty and students, and exchange value of credits with schools not
on the trimester- system. Also, because most schools do not operate
under the trimester, faculty members have to be absent while classes
are in session in order to attend professional meetings.
"The final calendar committee meeting is June 5," says Fauri,
"and the written report should be submitted to Fleming sometime
thereafter."
