Cohen,
Kochel
By Gary Thornbloom
CUB Managing Editor
Two months ago three of the
more colorful members of the
Behrend faculty were asked un
conditionally to resign from their
present positions or they would
be released. Rumors began to cir
culate in speculation as to the
exact reasoning behind their dis
missal.
- The CUB attempted to inter
view the three in question to get
their story. We also talked to the
Director of Behrend Campus, Ir
vin H. Kochel. This article is the
result of extensive comments by
Steve Cohen and John Spiel
mann, , - as well as limited com
mentary by Director Kochel.
Frank Sansone, the third fac
ulty member involved, could not
be - reached due to illness and any
statements he may wish to make
will be printed in the next edition
of the CUB.
As the matter stands at this
time Cohen and Spielmann have

SGA Announces rocedure
For Use Of Student Fund
The Student Government As
sociation is sponsoring a student
loan fund to financially aid any
student enrolled at Behrend who
needs money for the purpose of
maintaining his stay at the Uni
versity.
A student may borrow up to
forty dollars. Any requests beyond
this amount must be approved by
appointment with the treasurer
of S.G.A. and with the signature
of the Dean .of Student Affairs.
All loans must be paid within
our school weeks. Loans falling
due on days - of finals and holi-

both submitted letters of resigna
tion to avoid the situation which
would arise from being asked in
writing to leave. While they have
resigned, make no mistake, they
were definitely told that there
would not be a jab for them at
Behrend next year.
Not one of them has been con
fronted with the reasons for his
dismissal, although each has ex
pressed a desire to be presented

Ever stop and wonder what would happen if
you were caught breaking the law? I know it's
not the sort of thing you like to think about but
things can and do happen, so let's take a look
anyway. Since you're a student and subject to
more rules and regulations than the ordinary
citizen, the prime consideration would seem to
be whose law you broke.
If you break a civil law you are tried before a
civil. court. If you violate a university regulation
Senate Rule W-16 provides you with the choice
of appearing before either the Student Court or
the Office of •the Dean of Student Affairs. At
first glance it seems simple enough . . . but look
again.
Until recently, by special arrangement with
civil authorities, if you were picked up by the
police fOr a misdemeanor (i.e. underage drink
ing, disorderly conduct, etc.) they would call
Behrend and ask the university if it would take
the responsibility for disciplinary action.
This set-up had its advantages for the Behr
end students. He could avoid a police record and
in the case of major violations, could avoid .the
possibility of a fine or jail sentence.
days will be carried over to the
next school day. All loans, re

be paid before the student leaves

day of the unpaid balance of the

is not fully repaid by the set dead

with the facts which led to the
action taken.
Kochel stated that he request
ed each of them to evaluate his
past two years at Behrend to see
if he couldn't discover the facts
for himcelf. He went on to ex
plain that the decision to dismiss
the three was not made arbitrar
ily by him, but that it was a joint
decision• agreed to by the Assist
ant Dean, each individual's De-

To Give Reasons
Involvement
Law Rapped
In the opinion of the Student Affairs.Com
naittee this gave the student a special privilege
that he didn't deserve and shouldered Penn
State with a responsibility far removed from
education.
Therefore, a survey was made to determine
the opinion of both the faculty and the student
body on the issue.
As a result of this survey the Student Af
fairs Committee voted to change this policy and
place any violation of civil law in the hands of
the civil authorities.
Okay .. so now everything is fine! Penn
State students are officially mature enough to
shoulder the responsibilities of their own ac
tions! Right? WRONG! There's one little catch
. . . Senate Rule W-11. Rule W-11 states that
the "university regards as serious offenses all
acts of unethical, immoral, dishonest, or de
structive behavior. .. "
Although W-11 states that any charges
against a student must site a specific offense
and a student cannot be disciplined under a
general charge of unethical, immoral dishonest,
or dishonest destructice behavior, several cases
have arisen at University Park where a student
was charged with being in trouble with the civil
authorities for whatever specific crime he—al
legedly committed.
In other words, the university considers be

Any decision of this type must
be a unamimous• one made by
agreement among the above.
Kochel also added that if by June
of this year, Cohen, Spielmann,
and Sansome cannot recall any
thing which would be reason
enough for requesting the resigna
tions, that he would somewhat
reluctantly inform each as to the
exact nature of the reasons for

his dismissal
Cohen, when asked to speculate
on possible reasons for his dis•
missal listed two types; those off•
a factual nature and those which,
were based on feelings. The faC
tual reasons are: Cohen had es...
pressed to his departanent head
that Belfrend was a stop-oft
point toward better things and.
that after his two-year contrack
expired he would probably bat
moving on; he also had, previously
indicated that he would like to

Norval Reece
Moves Crowd
New Democratic Coalition can
didate for the office of U.S. Sen
ator, Norval Reece spoke before
a near capacity crowd in the Reed
Lecture Hall Tuesday. Reece has
a strong political background,
having worked for Johnson-Hum
phrey in 1964 ("they looked good
then" he commented), Joe Clark
and Eugene McCarthy in 1968,
and Milton Shapp in 1966.
His first strong point was hiS
opposition to the war in Viet Nam.
He stated that we should an
nounce that all men will be
brought home by the end of this
year. "Nixon's Vietnamization
plan is one to continue war in.
Vietnam under a different guise."
He indicated that at Nixon's pres
ent rate of withdrawal ten-year
old children of today will have to
be worried about going to Viet
Nam.
In reply to a question about the
draft, Reece said that the draft
ought to be abolished, the pay
scale raised, the military be made
voluntary. He acknowledged the
risk of a professional army which
could run wild in the country, bat
disspelled the fear by reminding
everyone that we already have a
professional army except the
draftees. He also mentioned that
draftees' mortality rate is MICA
greater than that of the volun
teers, for the purpose of driving
