THE DAILY COUEGIAN > Bulldlnf. lalaphona y, April 1, 1971 THE DAILY ^•nt hearing procedures draw criticism By BUI Schlffmann CoUegian Staff Writer The student disciplinary hearings and Executive Order 116, which sets the procedures for the hearings, we/e discussed and severely criticized In yesterday's Fourth Hour program. The program, which took the form of a panel discussion, had as speakers Dean of Students Deryle K. Alien, Chemistry Professors Dale Burtner and Alex Vavoulis. and Janls Wallace, a student representing a campus legal aid society. The main criticisms were that the hearings procedures were unconstitutional because they were held behind closed doors, applied punishment without a jury of peers to hear the evidence, and provided for no roethodof appeal. •One of the principles of our government has always been that people should be tried openly that the truth tpn o " »n only be ai - -»—" **la Burtner. "Why should tbey be herd in secret?" Alien Indicated that Ute reasoning behind the secrecy ruling has atw»ys been "to protect the student" and to help "maintain decorum". AUen also said he did not necessarily agree with the regulations and had In fact made several of his disagreements to ChanceUor Glenn S. Dumke's legal staff, 'i have not yet heard anything on my statements to the lawyers," Allen said. Another reason for secrecy was that If the meetings were open, anything that came up In the hearings could be used In subsequent trials against the student. valid when lt was revealed that local district attorneys can subpoena any records of the hearings for their case In court. Vavoulis was the strongest critic of the procedures. He said that the hearings, and the system that had developed them, were ■corrupt, and title Is the most accurate word I can think of to describe them." Burtner said that the old procedures were much fairer, but that they were slow and often did • not result in convicUoos. "The main concern of the Board of Trustees in recent years has been to make sure that people get convicted. It is very Interesting that the procedures were revised by a Reagan board under almost emergency conditions," he said. •Since then," Burtner continued, 'they have aU had to be revised because not only were they blatantly unconstitutional, they were written so fast there was no time to revise them before pubUcatlon. •Another big problem is that the state can draw on a vast legal machine, funded by half a million dollars, to prosecute their case, while the defendant, lfhets lucky, can have a lawyer If he can afford one. If he cannot," Burtner continued, "he la expected to defend himself, and win be tried by tbe hearings officer even if he 1* not present in the hearings According to Janls Wallace, the code was drawn up with the stated objective of beUigfalrtobotbatu- denta and to the Institution. The •The American CivilLlbertles Union bas filed an action in San Francisco to have the procedures declared unconstltutioeuU," she slad. "They claim that the first, have been violated." Comparing the new procedures with those formerly used. Miss Wallace explained that under the old methods, studenU were heard by a panel made up of students and faculty. Under the new codes, trial by peers has beeneUrolnat- ed. The only people aUowed Into, the hearing room are the principals and the witnesses. The president of a coUege now' has the power to suspend a student for ten days If the student Is deemed a 'threat to tbe administrative or academic functioning of the school". It la conceivable that under this type of rule a student could be suspended, lose ten days and be set back Irretrievably In his studies, and then have aU charges dropped against hlm-ln effect being punished without a trial," said Miss Wallace. Allen said he fait lt was, possible that a student could be Involved in a "double jeopardy situation* but that when he Is faced with a situation like that hewouid be Inclined to give the student only a reprimand. Senate okays proposals on graduate rep, food services In the midst of last- campaign activities, the Student Senate met briefly yesterday to consider two resolutions. The proposals concerned Student Senate representation for the School of Graduate Studies and campus food sales competitive with the Fresno State College Association. Both measures we re approved by the Senate with Uttle controversy. The graduate representation measure, proposed by Senator- At-Large for Athletics- Steve Vartabedlan, originally asked the senate to "recommend to the Student Court that the School of Graduate Studies be represented on an equal plane with aU other schools." Following mention of the credential and graduate students' ablUty to also vote for senators within the school in which they are majoring, it was suggested by First Vice President Nat DIBuduo that only one senator each be elected from the Schools of Graduate studies and EducaUon. DlBuduo's proposal, designed to Insure graduate student representation while limiting its extent, was subsequently moved and approved by the senate. Appearing before the senate were Graduate Student Forum repsentatlves David Olson and Doug Bolhan, who outlined reasons for graduate student rep- Thls issue, said Bothan, "Is tremendously Important to stu- Olson read to the senate a two-page report on the desirability of graduate student rep- The food sales resolution, proposed by CoUege Union Senator Hal Bolen, recommends that recognized campus organizations Intending to sell food for more than five days a semester must obtain approval from the Student Senate. The recommendation will now be forwarded to the Academic Senate's Student AffalrsCommlt- tee, which Is currently formulating a campus food sales policy. Controversy over I sales poUcy arose In with Las Adelitas boycott food that a state coUege presidents' directive forbidding sale of materials competlUve with the campus Association bookstore would be extended to food services. Bolen's proposal was approved ^bjr the Senate with one abstention.* In other business, DIBuduo reported that Pete Navarra, Student President BIU Jones' legistaUve assistant, la currently attempting to restore cuts made by Governor Ronald Reagan In the Educational Opportunity Program budget- Students Interested in working with Navarra on this project are asked to contact him through the Student President's Office. FSC's nearly 3,000 graduate students, he claimed, 'are not being properly represented by the Student Senate." Graduate studenU, he said, have "unique Interests,* among which are the desires to maintain high educational standards at FSC, Improve research faclU- ties, develop interdepartmental graduate programs and foster a "community of scholars* at FSC. In addition, he said, the ideas, goals and experience of graduate students 'can provide a valuable Input into student body government.* Through the Graduate Student Forum, he concluded, students have worked to solve such problems as library hours, requests for a legislative investigation of FSC and reinstatement of graduate assistance programs. Peace Corps representatives will visit Fresno State April 19-23 Motorcycle parts set new art show moods Seniors graduating from Fresno State this June with majors in education, nursing, agriculture, math, science, engineering, home economics or business are eligible to go into training this summer and fall for overseas assignments with the Peace Corps.

If he cannot," Burtner continued, "he la expected to defend himself, and win be tried by tbe hearings officer even if he 1* not present in the hearings According to Janls Wallace, the code was drawn up with the stated objective of beUigfalrtobotbatu- denta and to the Institution. The •The American CivilLlbertles Union bas filed an action in San Francisco to have the procedures declared unconstltutioeuU," she slad. "They claim that the first, have been violated." Comparing the new procedures with those formerly used. Miss Wallace explained that under the old methods, studenU were heard by a panel made up of students and faculty. Under the new codes, trial by peers has beeneUrolnat- ed. The only people aUowed Into, the hearing room are the principals and the witnesses. The president of a coUege now' has the power to suspend a student for ten days If the student Is deemed a 'threat to tbe administrative or academic functioning of the school". It la conceivable that under this type of rule a student could be suspended, lose ten days and be set back Irretrievably In his studies, and then have aU charges dropped against hlm-ln effect being punished without a trial," said Miss Wallace. Allen said he fait lt was, possible that a student could be Involved in a "double jeopardy situation* but that when he Is faced with a situation like that hewouid be Inclined to give the student only a reprimand. Senate okays proposals on graduate rep, food services In the midst of last- campaign activities, the Student Senate met briefly yesterday to consider two resolutions. The proposals concerned Student Senate representation for the School of Graduate Studies and campus food sales competitive with the Fresno State College Association. Both measures we re approved by the Senate with Uttle controversy. The graduate representation measure, proposed by Senator- At-Large for Athletics- Steve Vartabedlan, originally asked the senate to "recommend to the Student Court that the School of Graduate Studies be represented on an equal plane with aU other schools." Following mention of the credential and graduate students' ablUty to also vote for senators within the school in which they are majoring, it was suggested by First Vice President Nat DIBuduo that only one senator each be elected from the Schools of Graduate studies and EducaUon. DlBuduo's proposal, designed to Insure graduate student representation while limiting its extent, was subsequently moved and approved by the senate. Appearing before the senate were Graduate Student Forum repsentatlves David Olson and Doug Bolhan, who outlined reasons for graduate student rep- Thls issue, said Bothan, "Is tremendously Important to stu- Olson read to the senate a two-page report on the desirability of graduate student rep- The food sales resolution, proposed by CoUege Union Senator Hal Bolen, recommends that recognized campus organizations Intending to sell food for more than five days a semester must obtain approval from the Student Senate. The recommendation will now be forwarded to the Academic Senate's Student AffalrsCommlt- tee, which Is currently formulating a campus food sales policy. Controversy over I sales poUcy arose In with Las Adelitas boycott food that a state coUege presidents' directive forbidding sale of materials competlUve with the campus Association bookstore would be extended to food services. Bolen's proposal was approved ^bjr the Senate with one abstention.* In other business, DIBuduo reported that Pete Navarra, Student President BIU Jones' legistaUve assistant, la currently attempting to restore cuts made by Governor Ronald Reagan In the Educational Opportunity Program budget- Students Interested in working with Navarra on this project are asked to contact him through the Student President's Office. FSC's nearly 3,000 graduate students, he claimed, 'are not being properly represented by the Student Senate." Graduate studenU, he said, have "unique Interests,* among which are the desires to maintain high educational standards at FSC, Improve research faclU- ties, develop interdepartmental graduate programs and foster a "community of scholars* at FSC. In addition, he said, the ideas, goals and experience of graduate students 'can provide a valuable Input into student body government.* Through the Graduate Student Forum, he concluded, students have worked to solve such problems as library hours, requests for a legislative investigation of FSC and reinstatement of graduate assistance programs.
