4 Student code: Protec By SUE BARTO Viewed by some as an unacceptable regression to 1950's paternalism, and others as simply the best way to protect students, the University's recent push to adopt a conduct code for student behavior outside the classroom has student leaders up in arms - and administrators doing what they can to calm them. In the planning for nearly three years, the proposed code is now undergoing final revisions and will probably be brought to the regents for final approval this spring. IF ADOPTED, it would prohibit such acts as arson, sexual harassment, assault, theft, van- dalism, and possibly some types of civil disobedience - all things the University has traditionally left to civil authorities to police. To enforce the code, the University would set up an internal judicial system, headed by a professor or administrator. Relying upon outside authorities such as the police and civil and criminal courts has not suf- ficiently protected the University community from students who are potentially dangerous, say officials who helped draft the proposed code. THEY SAY they have had difficulties ex- pelling students who may be a threat to other students, professors, and staff members - even for violations as serious as arson or breaking and entering. or op ALTHOUGH THE University updated a set of rules written in 1973, those guidelines have proved ineffective against many types of un- desirable student behavior, says Virginia Nor- dby, director of the Office of Affirmative Ac- tion. In 1977, a freshman student "cracked during finals" and set 18 fires around campus, she said. But only one day after he was finally caught and arrested, the student was released again, she said. press? During the incident, the University found its hands tied by the 1973 rules, which prohibit University action once criminal proceedings have been taken against a student, Nordby says. "IT WAS NOT just a case of arson," she says4; "It was clear that he had a thing against the University. We knew it was very dangerous for him to be about campus, but there was not way to keep him (off campus) because he was See CODE, Page 2 SNinety-four Years t 'Crystalline Sunny skies with a high near 38.

Along with the two cases of rubeola in Markley dormitory that were confir- med a week ago, yesterday's report raises concerns about a severe out- break on campus, said University Health Services Director Caesar Briefer. The three suspected cases are all students who live off campus who came in to the University Health Services this ! weelg to be tested for measles. ALTHOUGH the results of their tests are not yet final, Briefer said that measles are highly probable in two of the cases and a possibility in the third. Since last week's outbreak Health Services has been running a massive dormito. y vaccination drive and more than 3,000 students have been inoculated, Briefer said. But only about 200 students per day who live off campus have received inoculations at Health Services, Briefer said. All students born between 1957 and 1967 are encouraged to get inoculations as soon as possible.

Ike Kozminski, 61, told the 12- member jury in a crowded U.S. District Courtroom yesterday that his wife, Margarethe, had caught farmhand Robert Fulmer "molesting cows sexually." "(Margarethe) told (Fulmer) to pack his stuff and get off (the farm)," said Kozminski who spoke with a heavy Polish accent. "(Fulmer) cried and said he wouldn't do this (anymore). He (said) he would try to be better." IN THE LAST day of testimony of the state's first slavery case in more than 60 years Kozminski denied charges that he held Fulmer, 57, and Louis Molitoris, 60, against their will on his farm at 4768 Peckins Rd. near Chelsea. Kozminski, his wife, 56, and his son John, 30, are each charged- with two counts of violating the farmhands' civil rights and one count of involuntary ser- vitude. Last week prosecuting witnesses testified that Fulmer and Molitoris were frequently beaten, slapped, and verbally abused by the Kozminskis. Witnesses also said the men lived in a dilapidated, old trailer without heat or running water, were fed spoiled food, and inadequately clothed. BUT KOZMINSKI and his wife both denied such charges in their testimonies yesterday. Kozminski said he bought 10 to 12 bags of groceries each week for the two men, spending about $150 a week. Koz- minski added that Fulmer and I . '(Fulmer and Molitoris) never went without food for anytime on the farm. I supplied anything they asked for and needed.' -- Ike Kozminski slavery trial defendant Molitoris were picky about what kind of food they ate. "If I brought the wrong kind of cereal, the kind without the bear on the box, (Molitoris) would give me hell for it," Kozminski said. "(Fulmer and Molitoris) never went without food for anytime on the farm," Kozminski said. "I supplied anything they asked for and needed." DEFENSE ATTORNEY Ivan Barris also presented six bags of clothing that Kozminski said he had purchased for the men. U.S. Assistant District Attorney Virginia Morgan said in her opening statements that Kozminski forced the men to work long hours without pay. But Kozminski said that the men were hired in exchange for food, shelter, and clothing and that he never promised them any money. ............... . . . . . . . . . . . . ~ ~ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 'U' students compete for next year 's RAjobs By SUSAN ANGEL "If you want to become independently wealthy, leave the room," Associate Director of Housing John Heidke told about 200 prospective residence hall staff applicants Tuesday night in a MLB auditorium. They may not make much money at it, but the lure of free room and board is expected to attract 800-900 RA applicants this year. TO WIN the dubious privileges of dorm food, loud stereos; and a reputation as hall police officer, the candidates must first go through some tough com- petition for only 167 available spots. Preference is given to reapplying RAs. The tryouts are "tough, time-consuming, and ner- ve-wracking," said Engineering Junior Fred Langer, an RA in Mosher-Jordan. AS MOST STUDENTS apply at more than one dormitory to improve their chances of being picked, they must go through the lengthy interviewing process several times. In order to be picked, applicants must have a 2.5 cumulative .grade point average and have 48 un- dergraduate credit hours. The Housing office will notify students who are picked for the spots around March 30, said -Assistant Director of Housing Charlene Coady. "We hope students are applying because they're really interested, but I'm sure there are some people who are only interested in the free room and board," Coady said. "YOU'D BE LYING if you said (free room and board) didn't come to mind," admitted LSA junior Steven Sanford yesterday. Sanford, who wasn't picked in last year's tryouts, said, "You feel as though they should get to know you better before they decide you're not what they want."

School officials worked for more than two years to produce a rose hybrid bred specifically to sell just in time for Valentine's Day, but Shreveport residents will have to take a trip to the florists' after all.

The act of civil disobedience occurred over the weekend, said Law School Dean John Pittenger. He arrived at school Monday to find almost every inch of hall wall space in a six- story building on campus covered with posters, newspapers and.memos. The students were protesting an order by Pit- tenger that bulletin boards be cleared of outdated materials and signs not posted neatly. "It was unsightly and nobody could find anything. Nobody took anything down either, so outdated notices were everywhere. I created the policy to U.S. to demonstrate against the American-supported in- vasion of Laos.
