THE MICHIGAN DAILY Service Says Clinic Visits Fallin Off University, Health Service re- ports a drop in general clinic vis- its for the first quarter of this school year over last year. General outpatient clinic visits also showed a drop in the report issued by Health Service covering the months of October, November and December. Prescriptions and laboratory procedures, however, showed an increase, as did upper fespiratory infections. Pneumonia and infec- tious mononucleosis were on the rise also during these months this year. Influenza and polio shots were given to fewer students this year in the mass immunization pro- gram and were then put on an in- dividual basis. Total clinic visits for the quar- ter were highest in October, with a count of 13,860. November and December had totals of 9,788 and 7,419 respectively. The highest daily count occurred in November when a high of 586 patients used the clinic. General outpatient clinic calls of 10,721 were recorded. Out- patient clinic nurse visits were listed at 2,707 by the report. The total for the allergy clinic was 3,381 visits. Almost 11,000 pre- scriptions were filled during this period. Applications For Grants Due March 1 STUDENTS DISMISSED, DISCIPLINED: Ohio University Exam Thefts Head College News IN PERSON ATHENS-A widespread exam- stealing scandal just prior to the final examination period at Ohio University has resulted in the dis- missal of six students. At least 100 other students had been singled out for various types of disciplinary action, according to "The Ohio University Post.", The desire for an "easy grade" and some quick money led a large number of, students in colleges throughout the University to pass or sell stolen Fine Arts 17 exams to classmates, according to "The Post.", . The dean of men's office first heard that an exam had been stolen when student complaints began filtering into the office. The clincher came when a student was apprehended in a classroom with crib-notes of one of the ac- tual exams. "We have never had anything this serious in my administra- tion," University President John C. Baker said. One of the fine arts exams was stolen shortly before an hour exam given Jan. 7. The other was a 13-week test, stolen in Novem- ber. The grades on neither exam will count in the course's final grade, according to the College of Fine Arts dean. This action affects slightly over 12 per cent of the students at Ohio University. * . . MINNEAPOLIS - Administra- tion suppression of information regarding a rape in a women's ~dorm led to harmful circulation of wild rumors, the "Minnesota Daily" has charged. "For nearly a week, rumor ran rampant," "The Daily" said. "First wword had it that there was a rape in Powell Hall, nurse's dormitory. That turned out to be true. Later versions were twisted accounts. They weren't true, and some were much more harmful than the truth. "There was no official word un- til five days after the incident. 'The Daily' was repeatedly told 'there's no story.' "When the Department of Pro- tection and Safety released the story to the newspapers and broadcasting stations, it explained that earlier publicity might have hampered progress in the case. "When a similar incident comes along," the student paper con- cluded, "we hope the campus po- lice and the administration will keep three things in mind: "It can be more dangerous to have reckless rumors circulating than it is to have the truth pub- lished,: "The news media will 'sit' on a story in order not to hamper the case if they are told truthfully that there has been an incident and it is being investigated. "The University is least hurt by 'incidents' involving students if it admits that they have happened and that proper action is being taken. This last fact is an import- ant one which is often overlooked when 'bad publicity' may be risked." / NEW YORK - The American Civil Liberties Union has strong- ly recommended that colleges carefully observe due process in' all cases involving expulsion of students, except for failure to meet academic standards. ° The ACLU contended that stu- dents, as well as teachers, are en- titled to the safeguards of due process. Its proposal is included in revisions of the pamphlet "Aca- demic Freedom and Civil Liber- ties for Students," which the Union first prepared and pub- lished in 1956. The revised pamphlet calls for the "utmost procedural protection possible" in cases involving expul- sion of students. Where guilt is acknowledged, it stated, a review board rather than a single ad- ninistrator acting without advice should study the case and recom- mend penalty. Students who do not admit guilt should be granted hearings, be permitted to confront witnesses, and be entitled to appeal to a re- view body. In cases involving expulsion or other major disciplinary action except for failure to meet academ- ic standards, the pamphlet em- phasized, students should be ad- vised in writing of charges against them, be present at hearings, have counsel if they wish, and confront and cross-examine witnesses. The revisions, in effect, extend to students the same kind of pro- visions for due process which ACLU and its Academic Freedom Committee have recommended in civil liberties cases generally, in- cluding those affecting teachers.' * * * BETHLEHEM (UPS) - The controversy at Lehigh University over the banning of Socialist Nor- man Thomas as a speaker on the campus exploded this week as a series of developments provoked comment from the National Stu- dent Association, Thomas himself, and the school's president, facul- ty and student council. NSA's National Executive Com- mittee, meeting at the University of Minnesota unanimously ap- proved a resolution condemning the thwarting of Thomas at-Le- high as a breach of academic freedom. Lehigh President Martin D. Whitaker broke a two month ad- ministration silence when he told a faculty meeting that the Thom- as denial was made on procedural grounds. He did not, however, of- fer any comment on the academic freedom question involved, and left a number of other questions unanswered. Prior to the meeting, eight pro- fessors, all members of the exec- utive committee of the school's American Association of Univer- sity Professors chapter released a statement questioning the univer- sity's current regulation on the approval of guest speakers. Al- though not specifically mention- ing the Thomas affair, they asked that the power of approval be transferred from the president to. the students and faculty. Issuance of the faculty state- 'U' Professor To Receive Research Grant Prof. Richard B. Bernstein of the chemistry department has been awarded a National Science Foundation senior postdoctoral fellowship to do research in for- eign laboratories. ment forced the resignation of the president of the AAUP chapter who accused the eight professors of "acting injudiciously and fail- ing to meet the complexities of the problem." The Lehigh Student Council voted late in the week to support the faculty statement. At the same time, reliable sources dis- closed that the president of the student organization which had originally invited Thomas to the campus plans to appeal the ad- ministration's decision to Lehigh's Board of Trustees at its meeting next month. Thomas stirred up a new con- troversy when he wrote to the AAUP chapter and publicly im- plied that financial pressures from the university's alumni were pri- marily responsible for making him an unwelcome visitor to the cam- pus. He states a hesitanc'y to ap- pear, lest he "impede the univer- sity's fund raising activities." Following publication of the Thomas letter in local papers, the ex-president of the AAUP chapter accused the six time candidate for President of using "McCarthy- like tactics." Last week in an interview with the New York Post. Thomas ac- cused President Whitaker of "liv- ing in fear of his alumni," and making only "pompous state- ments" on the issue. He vows to fight as a matter of principle. After two months of charges and counter-charges, campus ob- servers look for a continuation of "I'affaire Thomas." Althqugh the academic issue has been clouded by a number of incidental squab- bles, Lehigh students are still questioning the administration's action. * * * nicipal court, the other to be more involved than ers." "seemed the oth- In a statement issued shortly after the trial (quoted in the "Yale Daily News"), a university official declared, "Disciplinary ac- tion has already been taken in the case of 12 of the students, whose resignations from Yale haverbeencaccepted, and disci- plinary action will take place forthwith in the case of the oth- er eight students, now that the court trial has been concluded." The evening following the con- victions, the. Deans of Yale Col- lege, the engineering school, and of the Freshman Year, announced that female visitors will no long- er be allowed in dormitory rooms on any week day. When contacted by the "News," a university official stressed the point that "this measure is not intended as a punitive action but father as a protection against any possible recurrence of the recent incident. Freshmen are restricted to en- tertaining female visitors in their rooms from noon to 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays and days before holi- days, and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays. The Saturday hour may be extended to 10 p.m. by permis- sion in advance. Upperclassmen may entertain women in their rooms from 11 a.m. to midnight on Saturdays and days before holidays, from noon to 7 p.m. on Sundays.
