defacement, damage, or theft of
property.
Themajor difference, however
was that the UC rules provided
4 specific maximum penalties which
could be imposed by the judiciary
mechanism. The Interim Rules
provided no such maximum pen-
alties.
The UC rules also removed the
threat of "double jeopardy" - the
possibility of facing charges from
4 both the University and civil
authorities for the same alleged
offense.
Faculty members and students
split, however, on the question of
the use of expulsion as a possible
sanction.
Many faculty members objected
to the removal of expulsion as a
possible penalty, while students
argued that expulsion or suspen-
sion for prohibited acts is "de-
plorable," as it constitutes an aca-
demic sanction for a non-academic
offense.
The rules were rejected and sent
back to UC. Since then, however,
UC has been delayed by the res-
ignation of former council head
Theodore St. Antoine, as well as
several student resignations.
Although council members are
optimistic, it appears that both the
manual procedure and the student
panel members will be approved
before the proposed rules are re-
vised, and that the board may for
months enforce the Interim Rules.

In our Advanced Course the monthly sub-
sistence allowance has just been increased. From $50 to $100.
One hundred dollars every month for 10 months of the school
year. To spend on room and board, dates and ball games.
To save for grad school.
But Army ROTC means a lot more than more
money. It means management and leadership experience that
you just can't get anywhere else. The kind of thing that can,
land you a better job, and move you along faster once you
get it. It means a commission as an officer and everything
that goes with it. The prestige, the pay, the chance to travel,
the experience.
