Awards coverage
Editor, the Daily Collegian:
I would like to express my appreciatio
of the coverage in the Daily Collegian c
the Rosa Parks Awards, and the lectur
by Martin Luther King. Ill, earlier in th
conspiracy and/or silent agreement" (i
Julian Bond), to suppress or ignore t
national depression-level crisis in black
called m
(CBS. NBC. ABC, Fresno Bee, N.Y.
Times, etc.) — that is both locally and
nationally.
Coverage of news events concerning
African-Americans is manipulated to
suggest passive acceptance or condolence
of the lunatic social-economic policies of
the Reagan Administration. It is a plea¬
sure to note that at least a few individual
studentjournalistsarenot blindly accept¬
ing the irresponsible, racialist tactics of
the fourth estate in American Society.
Sincerely,
Dr. James H. Rogers

Coors 'lip service'
Editor, the Daily Collegian:
This letter is in response to the Collegi¬
an's hypocritic views on the Coors con¬
troversy. In the March 20 editorial you
. stated that "the public has reason to be
concerned over remarks made by William
Coors and should be encouraged to put
pressure on private business owners" — to
make them accountable for their actions.
The Collegian also stated that "the only
way to do so in a case like this is for the
to hit a company where it hurts:
t the sales depart!
If these are your views then why do you
continue to run large advertisements for
Coors? (Example — April 5 Collegian,
page 6.) Your editorial, which paid only
"lip-service" to a Coors boycott, is merely
a facade to hide your financial motiva¬
tions for advenising revenue. I don't
blame you for this. After all, running a
newspaper costs money. I do however,
object to hypocrisy. In addition, I resent
the fact that you seemingly advocate a
boycott and yet you are unwilling to take
the first step. As you suggested, the Coors
controversy certainly does hit "close to
home." and in my opinion, probably a'
little closer than you would like to admit.

Low priority
Editor, the Daily Collegian:
This past weekend we attended a camp
for developmentally disabled adults. This
weekend away from care providers, par¬
ents and institutions provides an oppor¬
tunity for these campers to develop social
skills, enjoy the mountains, apd develop
appropriate behaviors. In addition, it
gives parents and care providers a much
needed respite.
As students in therapeutic recreation,
experiences such as camping with special
populations are essential to our profes¬
sional training. Competencies we, as stu¬
dents, develop at camp allow us lo better
serve the disabled as professionals.
Camping classes for special populations
are offered through the Recreation Pro¬
gram, but are open to students in any,
discipline. There is an additional fee that
each student must pay to cover transpor¬
tation to camp and supplies once they get
there. An InstructionaUy Related Activi-
rpresentative presented
ic Associated Students
hoping to be funded from the lost ruction-
ally Related Activities funds for transpor¬
tation and supplies. The proposal re¬
quested J750 or $15 per student for 50
students". It was denied.
It would be very easy to accept this
denial had athletics not received $ 160,000,
and other groups .sums of $2,000 or
S3,000. It saddens us to think that the
Associated Students place academics and
community service at such a low priority.
In addition to this funding denial, only
one member of the Cross Hearing Com:
mittee was.preseru for the Cross Hearing.
Trie other members did not even show to
meet with the student designated to
represent the proposal at the predeter-
get academic credit arid hands on expe¬
rience at the same time, the Associated
Students will not help defer their costs,
especially when the amount requested is
only five dollars more than fees paid by
these same studenu for InstructionaUy
Related Activites.

Correction:
An article in the April 4 issue of the
Daily Collegian incorrectly stated that
Enobong Ekanem. president of the
CSUF African Studenu Union, was
originally from Ethiopia'. The article
should have stated that Ekanem was
originally from Nigeria.

Disciplinary procedures take precedence
NEW YORK, NY (CPS) - Striking
down a lower court decision that would
have resulted in sweeping changes in the
ways colleges discipline their students, the
New York Supreme Court Appellate Div¬
ision last week ruled that studenu'consti¬
tutional righu to due process dont always
apply to disciplinary procedures.
The court said a State University of
New York at Cortland student didnt have
a right to have an attorney to represent her _ __
or to a review of written transcripts of the had to resemble courtroom procedures,

SUNY officials accused her of cheating against them, provide an open hearing in

But whether or not she had cheated was and provide students with a notice of what

that she had plagiarized an essay," said
SUNY lawyer Peter Crary.
The issue instead was how closely the
disciplinary proceedings she went through

suspension only has the right

serted she was entitled to the same profes¬
sional representation and review of the
written proceedings she would have in

New York's state Supreme Court —
which is not the state's highest court —
agreed with the student.
But now the appellate court has sided
with SUNY, stating the student's righu in
"a collegial at mosphere" were "best served
by a nonadversarial setting" without duel¬
ing lawyers and transcripts.
Richard Shay, the student's attorney,
could nol be reached for comment.
SUNY, however, is "quite satisfied" by
the decision, Crary said.

nary hearings a year on the SUNY cam¬
puses afould place "an absolutely intoler¬
able burden on the university."
"Due process does not require a foil
adversarial hearing," Crary said. "The
student had the right to confront wit¬
nesses, be represented by someone in the
college community, and recei
written charges against her,"
Yet in many school discipline situa¬
tions, the legal cards are already sucked
against studenu, the authors of a new
book about school discipline argue.
"School systems rarely have discipline
cases that wind up in court," said Ellen
Jane Hollingsworth. coauthor of "School
Discipline." which  was  published  in
"The constitutional protections of the
student's righu are not really very broad
anyway,"she said. "A student threatened
with suspension only has the right to tell
his or her side of the story. The principal
can listen, then suspend the student
anyway."
