To Decide Cases
Stressed Need for Prompt Action
on Three Faculty Suspensions
By JOE PASCOFF
The Student Legislature last night passed a motion urging
President Harlan H. Hatcher and other groups concerned to con-
sider and collect all relevant information and decide on the cases.
of the. three suspended faculty members, "as soon as possible."
The motion, which passed by a vote of 20 to eight, stressed that
it is in the best interest of the University that the President's deci-
sion be rendered before the close of the current semester.
The legislature's action was prompted by the animosity aroused
on campus in 1951 when former President Alexander G. Ruthven
shad vetoed an anti-bias clause

Committee
To Convene
Hatcher Not Sure
Of Meeting Time
A meeting of the newly formed
five-member advisory committee
will be held "as soon as a com-
mon meeting can be arranged;
probably within the next day or
two," University President Har-
lan H. Hatcher said yesterday.
Composed of five faculty mem-
bers and having no chairman,
the committee was established
Tuesday by the Faculty Senate
Advisory Committee to gather
data and evaluate the faculty sus-
pension cases. It will make recoi-
mendations to the President on
the three suspended faculty mem-
bers.
Such a committee was suggest-
ed by President Hatcher at the
last Senate meeting. He indicated

More than doubling last semes
ter's total of $1260, Joint Judi
levied fines amounting to $265
against students and fraternities
during the spring semester;
Seventy students paid fines to
taling $880 while two group fine
contributed $1500. In view of pre
vious court action, or financie
conditions, $275 in fines was sus
pended.
Drawing the largest fine handed
to a fraternity group in three years
Delta Kappa Epsilon was fined $1
000 for an incident last Novemne
when four members of the frater
nity were involved in the theft o
two water pitchers and some food
from the American Legion Memor
ial Home.
In the only other group action
Joint Judie fined Nu Sigma Nu,
professional medical fraternity
$500 icr violation of University
regulations prohibiting unchape
roned women in men's residences
and illegal consumption of intox
icants.
During the spring semester
Joint Judiciary Council heard 8:
students. In 13 cases, no action
was taken by Joint Judic. Penal-
ties were imposed in the remaining
cases. Their actions were approved
by the three man faculty Sub-
Committee on Discipline.
In the Deke case, Judic had
indicated that additional circum-
stances, including a "past record
of repeated violations," entered
into the severity of the fine, but
declined to clarify its stand.
Continuing a policy adopted late
in January, Joint Judic this re-
mester refused to comment on
group cases as they were heard,
although a complete list of vio-
tions, without names, is reported
in the DOB at the end of each
semester.
In the past, it has been the prac-
tice to make group violations
known as they occur and are act-
ed on.
. Streiff Cites
Housing Rules
' Men students and landlords
were reminded yesterday by As-
sistant to the Dean of Students
Karl D. Streiff of a University
rule prohibiting the use of apart-
ments as living quarters for men
students, except on permission of'
the Dean of Students.
The University by-law states
that all undergraduate men stu-
dents not living with their fami-
lies shall live in residence halls or
in other residences approved by
j. the' Dean of Students. No unmar-
ried men students, either grad-
uate or undergraduate, may live
in private apartments.
The Dean of Students is given
authority to make exceptions to
these regulations in cases where
in his opinion conditions warrant
Ssuch action.
According to Streiff, an apart-
ment is defined as a room or
rooms where there is a kitchen or
other cooking facilities, where
there is a private -entrance or
where there is no manager in resi-
dence in the building. Private
rooms which do not fall under
these categorys are permissable,
Streiff said, and need not be reg-
istered.
Pointing out that this rule ap-
plies to the summer as well as

Debate on the motion was ex-
pectedly vigorous with attention
being drawn to the vagueness of
the clause "as soon as possible.'
Period Should Be Stipulated
A few members expressed the
- view that if a particular period
i was stipulated in which a deci-
5 sion should be reached, the mo-
s, tion would perhaps be more effec-
tive and desirable.
- Supporting the motion, Bob
s Leacock, '57, said, "they had
- plenty of time to gather all rele-
al vant information." Hank Berliner,
'56, opposing advanced the view
that no motion "will make them
d move faster than they want to."
, In other business, the legisla-
ture sanctioned an appropriation
r of $210 for the Student Discount
Service. The money will be used to
f purchase student identification
d cards entitling them to discounts
and a list of establishments where
discounts will be available.
