Hartman also questioned the make- up of the council, saying that the current compostition of three ad- ministrators, three faculty, and three students on the council might sound fair, but "it's really six non-students and three students." She said that perhaps the number of students should be increased. Under the plan, the council would make policy, and a central coor- dinator selected by the council would administer it - "like the president and theregents," Hartman said. SINCE THE council has agreed that life-threatening cases should be han- yNews-764-0552 died by a central administrator, Daily NHartman's meta-rules would apply Daily Sports-764-0562 only to non life-threatening cases. Daily Classified-764-0557 At the council's meeting two weeks Daily Disply-764-0554 ago, Susan Eklund, associate de of ypy- 4n4the law school, presented her draft of Daily Circulation-764-0558 what the procedures should be in life- threatening cases. Like Hartman's draft, the ideas came from discussion in the council. Eklund's draft, presented in the form of a chart, would work as PUT US TO THE follows. After a "life-threatening" TEST! event is observed, the proper authorities would be called, whether it's campus security, the police, or the Psychiatric Emergency Service at University Hospital. THE UNIVERSITY Council would also recommend education on how to respond to these emergencies properly. The incident would then be reported to the Central Coordinator - to be selected by the Council. The coor- dinator would then determine what action to take. After following several procedures, including interviewing both the witnesses and the accused, the coordinator would either refer the accused to counseling and treatment services or to more "disciplinary" procedures. According to Eklund's chart, the accused would facea hearing in front of an impartial hearing judge provided at the University's expense. The accused would have the right to be represented by an attorney or a member of the University com- munity. "SANCTIONS," Eklund writes, "should be determined and specified in advance by the University Coun- cil." Eklund stressed that the University must follow due process and "give adequate notice of the 'charge' and a meaningful opportunity to present his side of thestory." The President of the University, would also have the power of granting clemency, Eklund writes. EKLUND STRESSED that her draft is merely a rough outline and the council will have to discuss things like the question of double jeopardy, when someone is accused both in civil court and in a University hearing. The chart assumes that the coor- dinator would not follow through with disciplinary action if the civil authorities are already pressing charges. But Eklund says this among other issues must be spelled out clearly before ittis released. All drafts presented to the council would be altered and refined by the council before being released to the University community for comment, Winkelman said. 4 8 killed in train wreck SAINT-PIERRE-DU-VAUVRAY, France - A Paris-bound express train slammed into a truck that tried to beat it to a crossing yester- day, killing eight people and in- juring 67 others, including five Americans, in the worst French train wreck in11 years. The train, en route to the capital from the English Channel port of Le Havre, was traveling at about 80 mph when it hit the semi-trailer truck at 9:15 a.m. about 12 miles south of Rouen in northern France, said French Naitonal Railway of- ficials. Tainted watermelons ordered destroyed SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California officials yesterday or- dered destruction of more than a million watermelons already in retail outlets and began a safety labeling program to avert illness traced to melons tainted with pesticide. State Food and Agriculture Director Clare Berryhill blamed the outbreak on a small number of growers using aldicarb, a pesticide banned for use on watermelons. "I am assuming it was an illegal application," Berryhill said. "If this pesticide is used properly, there should be no problem." He promised vigorous prosecution of violators. The double-barreled attack on widespread watermelon con- tamination was announced jointly by the state Department of Food and Agriculture and the state Department of Health Services at a news conference. Protesters turned away MIDLAND, Mich. - A group of Greenpeace protesters attempted to occupy sections of Dow Chemical Co.'s Midland complex early yesterday, but was turned back by security guards and police. Russ Wild, spokesman for the in- ternation environmental activist group best known for dramatic protests against whaling and sea hunts, said the protesters had planned to occupy two towers at the complex and to string a banner which read, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." Chief Justice critics advertising by lawyer WASHINGTON - Chief Justice Warren Burger, who called some advertising by lawyers "sheer shysterism," is out of touch with the realities of practicing law, at- torneys charged yesterday. Lawyers were quick to respond to Burger's comments- "He's very isolated,'" said Joel Hyatt, whose firm, Hyatt Legal Services, has 170 offices and ad- vertises heavily on television. "Be practiced law in a different era. I suspect he thinks most lawyers who are advertisiing are basically un- successful lawyers using un- dignified ads in an attempt to build their practice." Fire continues to threaten in California SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - erratic winds returned yestereday to push a 55,000-acre brushfire into a coastal city where 2,000 people were evacuated and a state of emergency was declared as the toll from wildfires in the West moun- ted. Gains made during a weekend of favorable weather were wiped out as the flames roared through the picturesque Central California city of 35,000, forcing the closure of a 17-mile stretch of Highway 101 and the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo cam- pus. A 30-foot wall of fire worked its way down a hillside into a densely populated residential area, destroying at least one home and -threatening several others before firefighters contained the flames threatening the northern edge of town, fire spokeswoman Rhonda Lazzarani said q 4 4 evey ns, * enter penday " eands. a facities " complete T s ad dedicated, * Skied lstmc sta dated tute t a * gomestudy mteals8 cnttly O y ResearcCos.. * tow 5rty , e t o et 20 - -1 \ I-N EDUCATIONAL CENTER, LTD.
