Of Senate Rule W-20
an intensive investigation into the
Associate Degree program. Upon
hearing the report, the Student Gov
ernment Association voted to, decline
support of such an investigation on a
state-wide level.
In other action taken, President
Barbara Sillier appointed represent
atives Don Jacoby and Joe Esposito
to the screening committee for the
Student Court. She also defined
briefly the duties of SGA and Student
Union Board members and called
for a more unified effort of the two
groups in conducting campus af
fairs.
Representatives absent: Uve Lay
man, Eileen Gibson, Kathy Romano,
and Medirith Coopey.
The meeting was held after am
off-campus publication was banned
from campusdistribution by Dean of
Student Affairs Robert T. Clappier.
He used Rule W-20 because of an
alleged obsenity on the cover, after
student complaints.
Clappir said he banned the pub
liCation because in his opinion, the
banned publication was not compat
able with University standards.
But he added, "I think that W-20
is unworkable as it stands. It's
much ton vague."
The OGONTZ CAMPUS NEWS re
ported the incident and intended to
print some of the objectionable lan
guage. The newspaper's printer re
fused to print it and the campus ad-
Ministration upheld the opinion, ac
cotding to Sue Stephenson, former
editor-in-chief.
The staff rewrote the material, but
inserted a flyer with the issue.
