GA vs. Faculty Committee in Resolution Voted, Protests Dralted Ry SGA Branches . By Bob Hodlemo 'A flurry of activity in all branches oi the SGA with regard to a dispute with the iaculty and administration over jurisdictional Ind due process violations has re- sulted in one resignation, one meeting, three stilt letters of com- plaint, one executive cabinet-pri- mary court proposal, and one Student Senate resolution. The dispute stems from faculty and administration handling oi student violations which SGA feels the primary courts should handle. Sam Grossman, chiei magis- trate of the Men’s Primary Court. resigned, saying in a letter to the Com? th . “The office of Chief Magistrate of the Men's Primary Court seems to have been proven defunct or practically non - existent in the past several months." A meeting Tuesday afternoon oi the Faculty Committee on Student Ailairs, the executive cabinet, the members of both primary courts, the acting college presi— dent, and the taculty chairman to settle the dispute led the execu- tive cabinet and the two primary courts to say, in two separate let- tors: It is our impression that the Committee is unwilling to make any sort or commitment on points of jurisdiction and due process, and preters to maintain the pres- ent system, which is unacceptable to us." Grossman. in his letter put it more strongly: “The courses of action, both executive and judiciary, of the administration and faculty coin- mittees have stretched, cramped, and all but erased the more con crete delineation of jurisdiction and due process which are round in the SGA Constitution.” Grossman went on to say that the ”uncalledrior overstepping oi jurisdictional lines by the admin- istration and faculty" has been JURISDICTION— (Continued on Page 6) One Suspended;w Another in Court Two women students have re- cently been involved in disciplin- ary actions by the college. One woman was suspended for three weeks in connection with the illegal visitation of a nonecollege man to her room. College stair members saw what appeared to be a prowler leaving the window of a Woman's room about 7:00 a.ml Feb, 13. The suspension was handled by the Faculty Committee on Student Altairs alter the report was made to the Dean of Women. In another case, a woman was reported for attempted illegal en- try into the quadrangle alter hours. The case which was initially presented to the FCSA was com< plicated by two previous latenesses and incorrect representation of the Iacts. This case, however, has now been turned over to the Women's Primary Court. The student court heard the case last night, and the decision is pending. Oldest College Newspaper West of the Miniuippl Vol. LXXll Grinncll, Iowa, Friday. February 26, INS Students Okay SGA Revisions Amendments which a re de- signed to streamline the Grinnell student government were accepted yesterday by the student body. By a margin nt 435733, the students voted to create an Advisory Coun- cil to replace the Student Senate. The amendments, which earlier were okayed by the Senate 3“, needed a 60% yes vote to pass; they received 92%. Only 43.1% of the students cast ballots in the lunchline reieren« dum. , in client, the revision makes the operation at student government more eiticient by cutting the size of the legislature and combining it with the excutlve branch. The new Advisory Council will be composed of 21 members — one member from each hall, the Com? president, and the SGA president. it approved by the college ad- ministration, the new system he- comes effective after spring vaca- tion. - Also on the ballot was an amend- ment which would allow SGA elec- tions this year only to be held later than the constitution calls tor. This section passed by 96%: Three Republicans Phone Addresses Three nationally known Re- publican legislators — Sen. Ev- erett M. Dirksen of Illinois, Sen. Jacob K. Javits of New York, and Rep. Gerald R. Ford of Michigan — will speak at Grinnell College via telephone during March. Opening the series, which is being sponsored by the campus Young Republicans Club will be Senator Dirksen. He will dis- cuss “The Minority View in the Great Society" at 8 pm. Tues— day, March 2. Senator Javlts will evaluate “The Republican Party — A Time For Change” at 9 p.m. March 8, and Congressman Ford will explain “The Repub- lican Alternative to Medicare” at 9 pm. March 17. All three talks will be heard in the South Lounge of the Forum and will be open to the public without charge. Each Speaker will talk from Washington, D.C., for approxi- mately 25 minutes. A question- and-answer period Will follow each talk. The Young Republicans hope to add a fourth party leader for a similar telephone tall; later in March. "There are probably a law issues there." Women's Weekend B rings. Concerts, Film By Krys Neumun Women's Weekend, time of reck< oning for all Grinnell men, starts today. It features two concerts, a Bergman film, and a guest chapel speaker. Jazz singer Nina Simone per- iorms Saturday night and the col- lege orchestra plans a special con- cert on Sunday. The movie “Virgin Spring” can be seen Friday and Sunday. The Reverend George Suidy ol Oakland, California, will speak on Sunday at 11 em. in Her- rick Chapel. This will be the weekend for all Grinnell girls finally to chose the man oi their dreams (or at least one who happens to be sitting next to them in physics class). Some even look upon the whole proce- dure as a truly educational expe- rierlce; that is, learning the real courage that is tested on north campus every weekend of the year. The idea of Women's Weekend is casually to ask him to take a walk, go swimming, come to open house or a lounge party or to study. Looking at pictures together in the fine arts building or in the Forum is recommended, as is din- ner and snack dates (Cafe del Foro would love the business). The Forum offers unlimited 1105' sibillties tor originalrtype dates that were not available last year. It’s the Grinnell girl's opportunity to invade the pool room or TV room, with escort, of course. It’s her chance to prove her domestic ventures in the new private kitch- enettes and dining rooms. And it she lasts through a hectic Friday and Saturday (some girls have been known to brave ten dates in the Weekend — with ten different escorts), she can spend a quiet Sunday listening to folk and jazz music in the listening room and take advantage of the special tree juko box music and special grill prices Sunday night. Seniors Picked For Fifth Year By Jeanette Mall Names of the three seniors who will be living and working in foreign countries next year under the Fifth YEar Abroad Program were announced last week by William Vanderpool (speech and theater), coordina- tor of the program. Darlene Keeler will be in Thailand, Don Bogue will be at Ahmednagar College in In- dia, and Barbara Cooper will probably be in Columbia al- though this assignment is not definite. Rod Brown is alter- nate for the Thailand appoint- ment and Martha Dixon is the alternate for India, Members of the Grinnell class or 1964 who are now serving abroad are: Daniel Mahoney, Brazil, John Spence, Colombia, Paul Courtwright and Marie Martin, India, Livija Denavs and Martha Grodzins, Thailand.

Vanderpool says that interest in this program has declined since the founda- tion of the Peace‘Corps. The program is directed by the Committee on internation- al Studies Program. Court Feud SGA Grills Stauss 0n Court Powers; Issues Still Vague By Arthur Yellln "There are probably a few is- sues there," was the opinion of Dean James H. Stauss, Acting President of the College, on the dispute over court jurisdiction in cases 0! student violations. Stauss spoke in a “question and answer" period at Wednesday night’s Senate meeting. In Stauss’s viewpoint, due proc- ess does exist at Grinnell, but governmental processes need im- proved definition and communica- tion, Replying to a student’s ques- tion, he said that he did not think due process can have the same lorm in all areas of the college. Stauss's remarks remained vague: he did not think jurisdiction could be defined in a formula-like mane ner in terms of types of olienses. Stauss said that student court handling of some conduct cases apprehended by the administra- tion is appropriate. In other cases student court handling is not ap- propriate. he had no objections, however, to the student govem- ment recommendations related to due process, except for the right of the accused person to know the Source or the accusation. .

Stauss said this week. Under the tentative plan, stu- dents would be able to return to school after Christmas Vaca- tion on January 12. The first two or three days would be devoted to such concerns as the Rosenfield Lectures. Senior comprehensive exams and the Junior Liberal Arts Exam would be given January 14 and 15. Classes would begin January 11. Stauss said that this plan would enable juniors and sane iors to get re-oriented before taking their Comprehensive exams. Stauss also noted that one consideration in dropping the regular interim was that it was too financially burdensome. ADDRESS HERE: 9591160 Iieuutdg “Walled cllqnd
