May 27, 1976 SGA Asks Questions On Security From Page 1 way, with the township, borough or other police department?" Paul: “No, it is a university organization, solely. Martin: Do your Police officers have the right to arbitarily make any arrests you want?” Paul: “No, there is a procedure that must be gone through. A report is received on a complaint or a detection on the part of the officer is made, and a preliminary investigation is made to determine if in fact a violation of Federal Law, State Law, local ordinance, rule or regulation (occurred) and if so then it is...dis cused with my supervisor, and a determination is made on what action will be taken. Martin: “Do you have to have concurrence or permis sion from any authority to conduct a search and or seizure, and if so, from whom?” Paul: “Yes, I must have concurrence from Dr. South or the Provost and must also have a warrant unless it’s a consent search. Martin: “In past years, who did you report directly to?” Paul: “Initially to the business manager, then to the administrative officer and presently to the dean of student affairs. Martin: In your professional opinion, who do you think the department of safety and security should report di rectly to ?” Paul said, “I objected to the move,” but declined to say who he would prefer to report to. Vice President Martin then turned his questions to Dr. South and asked: “Why was security taken to your office?” South: “First >of all, the provost was not satisfied with the way the Campus Security Department was operated. Secondly, he wanted to see if its primary part, the Operational Security Pro gram, pertains to students. He also wanted to see the effect of the reporting structure upon the relation ship of the Security Depart ment to other offices that were directed with students, and if the security depart ment could have a closer coordinated effort with those offices. Thirdly, he wanted someone to spend a year getting to know the Depart ment of Security here; getting to know what materials were available in University Security Depart ments and to complete that year with a report to him.” Martin: “Personally, as James D. South, which of the responsibilities of your office is most important to you?” South: “The most important one to me is to insure that every decision made on campus has, as a considera tion, the student’s welfare.” Martin: “On what basis and on who’s decision were the criminal cases taken off campus?” South: “Mine.” Martin: “Are you making a report to the provost that’s due on July 1st?” South: “...On or about July Ist, there will be a fairly extensive report made to the provost.” Martin: “Are you suggesting personnel changes in Secur ity and planning on sug gesting the removal of the reporting structure from Student Affairs?” South: “Yes, there will be some personnel changes made, if I have my way. I have recommended to the provost, and it has gone through two budget read ings, that there be additional people added to the campus security force to give us the capability of maintaining a 24 hour seven day a week, year round security force on campus—As far as remov ing personnel from the Security Department, I can’t answer that.” ichards Assigned By OAS Dr. R Dr. Winston A.

Raadmr Dr. Gujar Rao Dr. Rao To Teach In Massachusetts Dr. Gujar Rao, assistant professor of engineering in the water resources pro gram, has been granted a leave of absence to join the faculty of the University of Massachusetts for one year. During this time, Rao will teach classes in hydrology on a limited basis, and will also do research on “small watersheds hydrology” at the University’s Water Re sources Research Center. The University of Massachusetts and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are the two most prestigious schools of en gineering in Massachusetts. He will offer a statistics course at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, to sen ior technical and profes sional staff of the Central Statistical Office. He will provide advisory services to the Ministry of Finance (planning and de velopment) staff, and will also be responsible for the Council Probes Paul's Duties From Page 1 Dr. Brewster, that Campus Security be taken out from under the Student Affairs “umbrella” where Dean Jeny South and Chief Paul have involvement in all discipli nary cases from beginning to end. The only remaining com plaint against Chief Paul was one lodged by council member John. M. Jones, who maintains the Security Chief violated John Lane’s civil rights during his arrest. All possibilities of this infringement on Lane’s rights are now being actively investigated by Jones, not under the auspices of the faculty council, but as Lane’s personal counsel. The investigation into Paul’s powers and conduct first came to a productive head when the Faculty Council’s chairperson Susan Richman consulted the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office along with South, who had previous overall coordination of the three month program. For the past seven years Richards has served on the University Faculty Senate, and was recently nominated for the post of chairperson of that organization. Richards will be accom panied by his family on the OAS mission, and he will return in the fall to continue his teaching duties here. iJtfJ ntIHSS* tXXSH'T CLOGS arrangements to make simi lar inquiries, to determine the exact extent of James Paul’s jurisdiction and du ties. According to one faculty member, any previous ques tions on Paul’s status had been answered with the application of Act #149 which few people are able to interpret and which had never been passed into the Pennsylvania State Penal Code in its entirety. “It was just waved around without anyone really knowing what it meant.”, the faculty member said, “And I found it really frightening that we accepted it that way.” Another faculty member has made the suggestion that some type of investiga tion or study be done to define discretion for Chief Paul in the event more arrests are to take place. He said, “We had better make sure it is clear though, because Paul goes by the book, and there is no straying away from it.” r- — 1 I SAVE THIS COUPON | I FOR j ! 50* OFF !
