The resolution favoring the abolish< ment of “Spring Riot" was designed to spark discussion among the students. Senators defeated a motion to establish a committee on the riot, preferring to discuss the matter as a body. Hoping students would be more likely to ex< press ideas to their individual senators if a definite motion were made, the Senate brought the motion to the floor for discussion and tabled it until next week to await student reaction. Senators generally seemed to agree that “Spring Riot” had little to recom- mend itself. Ray Horn and Derrick TePaske expressed the belief that few people really enjoy the riot, while Mike Pill suggested that setting aside one Special day for letting loose tended to create social pressure to conform to See SENATE on Page 5 5 Convicte ; Expel I FCSA, Dect ns to review Interim Court’s action By Richard SchneirOV Tuesday night the Interim Court con- victed seniors James Stuart. Ken Adelntan, James Drasdo, and juniors Barry Nemmers and Dale Mossey oi disorderly conduct during “Spring Riot.” The court recommended that James Stuart be expelled from the college. They also recommended social expulsion for Drasdo, and Adelman, and that they not be allowed to participate in grad. uation exercises. Social expulsion means that the students involved would have to leave the college campus by Satur< day, April 29, and take their Senior Comprehensive exams off campus. It was recommended that Massey be given social expulsion and conduct probation for next semester and that Nemmers also he put on conduct pro- bation. The Faculty Committee on Student Affairs, with the Deans sitting in as advisors, will shortly consider the recom- mendations of the court and appeal: by the tive delendants. The case involved charges by David Dillon and Adrienne Lemmons that the five Cowles Hall members harrassed them with water balloons and eggs during ”Spring Riot.” The speciiic de tails of the case were released to the college community in a letter printed in the Reporter last week signed by both Dillon and Miss Lemn‘lons. in judging the case members at the court relied not only on evidence ob— tained during “Spring Riot” but also on past actions. Witnesses testified to a “sick society" in Cowles Hall. Rick Sprott, former president of Cowles testified that a “Dillon hate campaign has been going on intermittently tor the last three years and that nearly everybody in Cowles has been involved in it at one time or another.” He laid the blame on a small group or approximately ten people with James Stuart as the main influence. Sprott went on to say, “This can- not be handled a: one incident. It can only be looked at as a larger problem. There has been at complete lack of respect for people in the Cowles com- munity. . . it has gone beyond the polntof fun." He described how some students threw Water balloons at visitors and at de- livery boys from Ahrvano’s Pizza, how paper clips were used to jam doorsn how students anonymously telephoned girls on South Campus to make dates for other hall members; how doors were burned down and Smashed in as “pranks” and how certain members at the hall were held up to ridicule. He also told of the harassment of girls who Came to the hall. “I'VE had several girls who came into my room in tears because of this.u Spmtt related how he tried to control the situation through tines, personal conierences, consultation with resident advisers, from other halls, Kenneth Christianson, faculty adviser to Cowlés, and finally Dean 3.
