Page 2/October 8.1881 -Del ly Coileglan Lewis came up and started pushing me and telling me to get out. I assured him I had every right to be there, that I was a faculty member with a faculty locker and was there to take a shower. I asked him how he could stand by and say nothing while these men were being called cowards. He became infuriated andiried to overpower me. ^ Lewis, who is 6'3W and weighs 185 pounds, played halfback for two years under coach Darrell Royal at the Univeristy of Texas in Austin.' Royal, Lewis said, was strict and demanding, but "not abusive or violent, nor did he ever call us cowards, no matter how we played." One player said he saw Coach Anabo drive Lewis back against a locker before ' players pulled him away. Lewis's report: Immediately Sweeney appeared, and many others, perhaps all of the coaching suff, and a number of players, and they all began to curse me and beat me and tear my shirt and pull and yank me towards the exit. I appealed to the players to look at their coaches, at the kind of men they were and to help me. In their haste to expejl me from their locker room mainly the coaches began threatening me, to beat me to a pulp, and some of the players had the courage to warm me to leave before 'they,* meaning the coaches, hurt me. Once outside, the hugh-defensfve coach, a black man, slugged me in the face... One player said he'saw defensive line coach Bill Stewart, the only Black Bulldog coach, drive Lewis all the way down the hall of lockers and into the wall, "ratheraggressively.* "I was him grabbing the guy's shirt and stuff,' said another player. 'He let some of his aggressions out against the guy.' Stewart told the Daily Collegian that he was just steering Lewis out of the gym. "He was asked nicely to leave and he didn't do it," Stewart said. *He owed coach Sweeney some respect." Lewis was disturbed by the gang thatchasedhimout. "You couldn't believe the murderous looks on their faces,' he said. 'I'm not exaggerating when I say there were 15or_0ofthem.' Several football players agreed. 'It was like a circus in there.' said one. That guy (Lewis) was a thrillseeker." 'They were going to beat the shit out of him,' the same player said.'if it weren't for coach Sweeney.* Another player said that Sweeney's place during the chase was 'behind the crowd, kind of.' The players said Sweeney was trying to restrain the players and coaches. One player summed up the opinions of the three in the room: 'Coach Sween- Literary supplement planned The Daily Collegian is now accepting short fiction stories, poems and black and white photos and drawings from CSUF students for a special literary supplement to be included with the Dec. 4 issue of the campus newspaper.

"Sweeney looked like a demon right out of hell.* *l advised the coaches,'Sweeney said, 'to go down there and see that our players are not... in a mood to deal with what they felt was an intruder." Lewis said he would prefer to go through university channels to see Sweeney and his coaches disciplined, rather than filing charges. 'I 'm not interested in throwing the guy in jail,' Lewis said. 'I'm interested in getting him fired." But if it takes criminal action to force the school to move, Lewis said, then he may do it. Lewis said he talked privately to President Harold Haak on Monday about the incident. (Copies of the report he filed with campus police were also sent to President Haak and to the Academic Senate Personnel Committee.) None of the players "Interviewed by the Dally CoUealan saw Stewart punch Lewis in the face. Sweeney said, "He was never punched in the face. That's an absolute mis- "I didn't do anything to him," said Stewart, when asked if any of his actions could have been interrupted as punches. 'I grabbed him." "There was every attempt to get him to leave peacefully," Sweeney said 'It was a time for privacy." After his was ejected from tbe Men's Cym, Lewis said, he started walking around the complex of buildings. Halfway around, he was met by two campus police officers in a patrol car, who he said asked him for some identification. Lewis said that after he was first uncooperative—and one of the police threatened to take him "downtown" — he showed them his ID. and told them his story. They let him go, he said, and he went back into the locker room, where he showered. Lewis wrote in his report that in the showers a Black man he assumed to be a coach "approached me and threatened to wipe my bloody bones all over the floor if I talked to any of the players in the shower. He said this four times and left." Lewis said he showered alone and then drove home. Sweeney said that Bill Stewart is the only black coach with the team, but-that "there are numerous of our friends in the locker room. "I don't know who it was," Sweeney said of the man Lewis accused of making the threat. In the football team's film review session Sunday night, Sweeney made no mention of the incident, players said, and he took a different attitude in assigning blame for Saturday's 65-33 "The responsibility is not with the players," a member of the team remembered him saying.

But when confirmed information has leaked out about the hazing activities, it has always been gruesome - the media coverage of tragic and unnecessary deaths of pledges subjected to intolerable hazing practices. Since 1970, 30 fraternity pledges have died while participating in hazing activities nationwide, said the California State Students Association, nine occur ed within the last two years. One of the more visual fraternity- hazing-related deaths involves Chuck Stenzel, an Alfred University sophomore, who in 1978 was forced to drink a pint of bourbon, a bottle of wine, and a six-pack of beer, and then was locked in the trunk of a car. By the time Sten-' zel was released by his fraternity brothers, he was unconscious. By morning, he was dead. 'Hazing...only creates bad feelings.' Stenzel . mother, Eileen Stevens (formerly Eileen Stenzel), formed CHUCK. - the Committee to Halt Useless College Killings - six months after her son's death. In the last three years, she has worked to bring legislation to outlaw fraternity hazing on college campuses. California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and North Carolina have adopted legislation making fraternity hazing illegal in their states. This year, California has stiffened the state's penalty for anyone found guilty of hazing during fraternity initia- The new legislation expands the current definition of hazing to indude pre-initiation or initiation rites that are likely to cause bodily danger, physical harm or personal degradation or disgrace resulting from mental or physical The legislation also increases the maximum penalty from a $500 to a $5,000 fine, doubles the sentence from six months to one year in the county jail, and requires publication of regulations against hazing in all public colleges and universities. Along with the new legislation has evolved a new attitude among fraternities at CSUF toward the initiation The 'Coon March' has been a- bandoned, revived only in war stories of days gone past. And with Its relinquishment, so too have other forms of hazing practices all but disappeared from the fraternity initiation process. "Hell Week was changed into help week,' said Dave Leathers, president of Interfraternity Council and member of Lamda Chi Alpha fraternity. Lamda Chi was the first fraternity at CSUF to abandon hazing in 1977. 'Lamda Chi's concept is that you can get to know an associate member better than working with him than by having him work for you,' Leathers said. A general shift In the emphasis of the initiation process has been from mischievous or dangerous humiliation to a focus on Inspirational development, which includes formal ceremony, study halls and shared responsibilities, Leathers said. 'All fraternities hazed at one point in the early 1970s, but in the 1960s, this has been phased out,* Leathers said. -We're getting back to basics, with traditional emphasis on leadership, academics and the return to being The no-hazing trend has been actively supported by each fraternity at CSUF. Since Lamda Chi initiated the "no hazing' practice in 1977, all the HAZINC continued on page 4 Watermelon Bust Joan Collins, Kathy Hallerman, and Debbie Reuther fool around during the Watermelon Butt aponsored by the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
