I Students call cod By ERIC MATTSON Ask any student who actively opposes the Univer- sity's proposed code of non-academic conduct why it is bad and you'll get a lecture on student rights and administration oppression. Ask any administrator who actively supports the code why the University should regulate students' lives outside the classroom and you'll hear about problems with a few destructive students who hurt the University community. THE STUDENT will say the judicial system under the code is unfair and that ambiguous clauses of the code make a fair system impossible. The administrator will say there is adequate due process under the code and cite the civil authorities' lack of interest in pursuing petty student offenders. Despite all the disagreements between students and administrators, everyone agrees the code is far different from the judicial system of criminal courts. 'U '-. 'U'says system assures justice STUDENTS SAY this difference amounts to a violation of their civil rights. Administrators, however, say that it makes the judicial system work faster, and in any case has already been supported by state and federal courts. There are three fundamental differences between the code and the existing system: " due process'; " types of punishment; * involvement of police and other civil authorities. Due process is one of the most elusive concepts in the legal system, but basically it means a fair and ,e unfair equitable means of determining an alleged offender's guilt or innocence. UNDER THE code, formal rules of evidence are not applicable. Whereas the civil authorities are bound by strict guidelines of what is admissable in a hearing, the hearing officer can "admit all matters into evidence that reasonable persons would accept as having probative values in the conduct of their af- fairs," according to the proposed code. In plain English, this means that the hearing of- ficer can admit things like hearsay - a "heard-it- through-the-grapevine" type of evidence - into a student's trial. There are also a number of other types of evidence that could not be admitted to a regular court but is acceptable under the code, such as evidence obtained in an unauthorized search of a dorm room.

Africa By STEPHANIE DEGROOTE "The Nobel Peace Prize represents another black eye for the South African government," University Prof. Leonard Suransky said yesterday after Bishop Desmond Tutu was awarded the prize. Tutu was selected because of his peaceful crusade to eliminate South African apartheid, the institutional racial segregation of the nation's 27 million blacks and four million whites. "(TUTU) describes himself as 'a man of peace but not a pacifist'," said Political Science Prof. Ali Mazrui, who is developing a series of documentaries on the racial situation in South Africa. Mazrui said that Tutu represents "that intermediate phase when you can still talk of 'mobilizing love' as an in- strument of liberation instead of mobilizing the handgun as an in- strument of emancipation." That doesn't mean, however, that Tutu thinks blacks should turn the other cheek, Mazrui said. "HE IS A MAN who has risen to stand in opposition in a non-violent manner, and has held his posture in a very dif- ficult situation," said Suransky, a member of the University Committee on Southern Africa. "Tutu works within the system.

Gary Hart will join Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale in a major campaign rally on the Diag next Tuesday, cam- paign staffers announced yesterday. A favorite pick among University students for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination, Hart is expected to help pull young voters into the party camp as Mondale pushes for support in this and other key states. "THIS WAS (Hart's) big constituen- cy and just by coming here he will let everyone know the caucus is over and it's time for all Democrats to unite," said Sheri Silber, an LSA senior who heads the campus Mondale-Ferraro campaign. The Hart-Mondale team has ap- raii y peared in recent weeks in the college towns of Stanford, Calif., and Madison, Wis. Tuesday's rally here will be one of Mondale's first campaign stops after his second _debate with President Reagan Sunday night. "If (Mondale) does as well in this debate as he did in the last one, this ap- pearance can only be gravy for us," Silber said last night. AN ABC NEWS poll released yester- day showed Mondale trailing Reagan by only 10 points, up from 25 points just weeks ago. But another poll released this week by Louis Harris showed that Mondale has won the votes of less than a third of the nation's young adults aged 18 to 25, while Reagan has 70 percent. Mondale might be worried that stud- See MONDALE, Page 3 Just ducky Associated Press Vice President George Bush watches as a shopkeeper prepares a duck to go during a walk in San Francisco's Chinatown yesterday. Educators seek college reform WASHINGTON (AP) - A panel of prominent educators, bidding to turn the reform spotlight from America's high schools to its colleges, is warning that higher education is suffering serious problems, from underpaid faculty to deteriorating buildings to students abandoning the liberal ar- ts. The panel, in a report prepared for Education Secretary T.H. Bell and his National Institute of Education, called for sweeping changes in campus life, including more faculty attention for freshmen and sophomores, fewer part-time professors and less emphasis on vocational courses.. The new panel, called the Study Group on the Conditions of Excellence in American Higher Education, was chaired by Kenneth Mortimer of Pennsylvania State University. It warned, "The strains of rapid expansion of higher education, followed by recent years of constricting resources and leveling enrollments. . . have takentheir toll. "Gaps have appeared between our ideal expectations for higher education and the realities of student learning, curricular coherence, the quality of facilities, faculty morale and academic standards." It cited these "warning signals: " * One out of eight "high-ability" high school seniors does See PANEL, Page 3 College women outnumber men WASHINGTON (AP) - American women are pur- suing higher education in ever greater numbers, ac- counting for much of the increase in college enrollment over the last decade and now outnum- bering men at the nation's universities, the Census Bureau said yesterday. Women accounted for about 52 percent of all college students as of October, 1982, the new study said, with the biggest jump among women aged 25 to 34 and those attending two-year colleges. And in a related report, the National Science Foun- dation disclosed that its survey of graduate schools in 1983 showed that women collected one-fourth of the doctorate degrees in science and engineering - nearly double their rate of a decade earlier. "ONE OF the most significant developments in higher education and research in the last 20 years has been the increasing participation of women. They have increased in terms of both absolute numbers and in comparison to the participation of men," the science foundation said. The Census study counted 10.9 million students aged 14 to 34 in colleges and universities in 1982, up nearly 3 million over 10 years. "More than half of the observed increase in the number of college students was among students 25 years old and over," the bureau continued. "In fact, the increase in the number of older women alone con- stituted 44 percent of the total growth in the number of persons enrolled in college over the decade." The bureau counted 5.5 million women and 5.4 million men aged 14 to 34 enrolled in colleges. There were 4.6 million women and 4.4 million men un- dergraduates, while in graduate studies men slightly outnumbered women. The small number of people over age 34 enrolled in colleges and universities is about evenly divided between men and women. WHILE increased desire for education among women was the prime reason for their growing share of places in college, the bureau noted that another factor was relatively low growth in male enrollment. This resulted as men returned to a more normal rate of college attendance after the Vietnam War, which had spurred males to higher attendance because it was a means of deferring the draft and, later, because veterans were eligible for educational benefits. While the tendency of women to marry younger than men has tended to lower their college attendan- ce in past years, many may now be returning to local community colleges to resume their education, raising the percentage of women over 25 attending college. While women's college enrollment has risen past that of men, earlier studies by the Census Bureau have noted that the courses pursued differed between the sexes. WOMEN IN the past have tended to favor courses in education, the humanities and health sciences, while men have tended to prefer the physical scien- ces, engineering and business. However, the National Science Foundation report does disclose increases in women obtaining graduate degrees in science. In 1983, the report said, women collected 25 percent of the 17,900 science doctorates issued.
