Page Two 33 Take Cornell’s Old Sem, Charged, Put on Suspension Thirty Cornell College stu- dents and 3 nonrstudents were arrested and charged with un- lawful assembly after a Shout takeover of the college adminis- nation building October 17. Doyle Raglan. spokesman for the protesters, explained that the group wished to stir up an "apathetic” and "racist” oam- pus. Cornell Dean Stuart Good told the 5&3 in a telephone inter- view that when the administra- tion expressed its intent to re gain control of the administra- tion building, the students pre- lented a list of 4 demands and Itipulated that they be met with- h 48 hours. The demands were: ”The establishment of a Black activity center which would house a library, assembly-lec- ture hall, and a social center. I) That at least 10 per cent of the convocation he presented by Black entertainers and speak- ers, 8) That the curriculum Include courses in Black art, literature, history, and others dealing with the Afro-American and African culture. 4) The college should step up the hiring of Black instructors, with the addition of at least one Black adviser to the staff. A fifth demand later made was that no charges be brought against the pmtestors. Raglan demanded that Presi- ‘dent Samuel Stumpt sign a Atatement delineating the five demands, and that he insure that these demands would be implemented within the forty- eight hours. Stumpf felt he did not have the authority to sign auch a statement and that the goals could not be accomplished in such a short period of lime. Threats by nonsprotesting stu- dents to forcibly eject the pro- testers iorced Stumpt to call in the Linn County police The Students, after talking for five minutes with college offi~ cials, were led out of the build ing by Raglon. At the police station the students were re- leased on “their own recog- nizance” and the three nonsstu- dents on $75 bond each. “I feel a college should handle internal problems with internal forces, but if the sources aren’t available, others must be used. You can’t put out a fire with the drinking glasses we have here at Cornell,“ stated Stump!. The following official slate- ment was released the same day. “The faculty or Cornell College has voted to suspend without prejudice the students who were in the administration building pending judicial deter- mination of their cases by Car— nell College.” Each student will receive a separate trial and, although several cases have already been concluded, no decision on puns ishment will be announced until all 39 cases have been heard by the studentfaculut board. Read Hall Suffer: 5100 Fire Damage Last Sunday there was a fire in the room of Edwin DeEus, which caused an es- timated $100 damage to col- lege property. The fire was discovered by Michael Bran- don, ’70, who used a fire ex— tinguisher to put out the three foot flames. A p ollce officer, the watchman. and Assistant Dean of Students W. Douglas Ensminger came to inspect the scene of the file which occurred in Read 555. Ac cording to DeBus the fire started from the open flame of a scented candle that was left burning on the desk when he left the room. In addition to the desk that was destroyed and the dam- age to the wall and ceiling by root, DeBus himselt lost a clock radio and 30 books. At a Monday meeting the housekeeping service decided that the college will not re- quire bonus to pay for the damage to college property caused by the fire.

November I, I968 Arringion Visits As PPPE Guest; Supports Nixon Republican majority Ieadei‘ and president pro tempore of the llliliois Senate. William Rus- sell Arrington, served as Poli- ticiansin-residelnce during his daylong stay here Wednesday, October 30. Arrington had breakfast with Students, toured the campus, visited three class— rooms, held an interview with students that was taped for KDIC, and attended a bull ses- sion in the evening. Arrington. currently serving as Lieutenant Governor of Illi— nois, is not only active in Illi- nois politics, but also in busi- nes and civic groups. During an interview, Arring- ton attacked critics of Richard Nixon who say that Nixon has been vague and that he is ovoid- fng the real Issues of the cam- paign, Arrington laid that Nixon has given his statement or the issuer and taken a definite stand on those issues. He asserted that Nixon has stated in great detail What his Views are. Arrington went on to say that he believes Vietnam is not the major issue of this election, and that Nixon has not spoken on this problem only I) e c at us 9 there is a chance that the Pam peace talks may be successful. Mr. Nixon does not want to jeo- pardize the position of the us. by opposing President Johnson on this point. Arrillgton does not know what effect George Wallace Will have on the Presidential race, and does not think that either the Republicans or the Democrats will know until after the elec- tions. He did say, however, that he does not believe that Wallace will do as well in the election in the polls presently predict. Arrington commented on the Daley political machine in one classroom as “Up until this time, the most efficient machine in the country." He believes, however, that a Republican vic- tory in the races for State's At- iomey and Governor would severely damage the effective ness of the machine. He later said that Daley controls the pre- sent Governor of illinois. Sam- uel Shapiro, as well as many city orliciais. b Survey (Conlinued from Page i) once a week or more often. The breakdown on frequency of lV's is as follows: Once a month ......i. 31.5% 35% . 22.5% 11% Almost onevhalf of the students having IV's. 47%, said their [V’s were for “sexual purposes”. The remaining 53%, those who did not have lV's for sexual purposes, had their IV’s general- ly for the purpose of “talking". “studying”, ”parties”, or sim- ply “socializing“. Once a week 2-3 times a week Every day Ninety-five per cent of the re lponding students said that they were aware of regular or occa- sional IV's on their floor, and of these, only 17% said that they were bothered by these lV’s. 0f the 75% respondents who have had illegal visitationl, less than half, 47%, have made use of Sunday’s open house. A large number of students who have not had IV'e. about 40%, have used the Sunday “legal" hours. Ten per cent of all respond~ ants either thought there should be no change in the rules, or that they should be made more strict. One girl etu dent thought that there should be "no open dorms at any timel" Generally, though, or the 90% who favored “less strict” rules, most wanted hours extended, especially on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, but none expressly fav- ored 24 hour opens. One que a tion, concerning whether rules should be made standard tor dormitories. floors of halls, or the entire campus produced widely spilt opinion. The question and response to it is as follows: There he a standard rule for, each, . . t . dormitory .. . 26% floor . 39% for the entire campus , 35% Quite a few people thought that there was no way to show that they favored a very flexible campuswide rule, which would allow the hall or floor to esta- blish its own specific hours. Thus the sentiment fill” this kind of rule, which was considerable, was not reflected in the above question. Additional comments on the open dorms question had several common themes. Although only 14% or the students considered the question of open dorm: "not important” to the college, (many) 38.93% of those writing additional comments thought that the emphasis on open dorms was out of proportion and in the words of one woman stir. dent, “There are more impor\- tant things in this old world,’h Another common theme that was apparent throughout the surveys was a desire to see whatever new rules were made be “strictly enforced." A large number of dtudents’ comments were simply that the administration had no real right to determine or limit coedtlcas tional use of dormitory rooms, in the words of one student, "Freedom of visitation should be accepted as natural”. One final comment, typical of many students feelings, should be mentioned: One male sophoc more said, “I think there should be one major rule concernin open dorms and that is one o, consideration—that is, I don't want my right to walk naked to the shower infringed upon." it; Weekends Aren’t Any Fun Without ct Trip to . .
