Appellate Review A revision in Perm State's student court sys tem is sorely needed to equalize and standard•• sze disciplinary procedure for all students. Such a revision has been worked over for many months and went before All-College Cabinet. for approval last week. Fortunately, cayinet recornnaitted the revision. Az badly as the student body needs a stan daxdized disciplinary process, it does not need a laally one. The plan presented to cabinet last v.-eel , : was faulty. Under the revision presented to cabinet, the subcommittee on discipline of the Senate com mittee on student affairs , would receive appeals from Judicial and Tribunal. The subcommittee would also hear cases referred to it after screen ing by the offices of dean of men and dean of women. The idea behind the set-up was to accom plish a standardized appeal procedure for dis ciplinary cases. Under the present set-up, dis cipline is meted out by b o t h Judicial and Tribunal, the deans' offices, and deans of the various schools, as well as the Senate commit tee. This all makes for confusion and unequal discipline. Cabinet uncovered a glaring fault in 'the plan. Members of the Senate subcommittee, the appellate group, are the director of student affairs, chairman of the Senate committee on student 'affairs, dean of the involved student's school, president of the student's school coun cil, chairman of Judicial or Tribunal, dean of men or women, and president of Women's Stu- dent Government Association or All-College president. The last three representatives vvouir be determined by the student's sex. Student Government and Responsibility One' of the prime objectiiies of student gov ernment is the development of a feeling of responsibility on the part of students to the point where they will be capable of governing themselves with due regard to their own rightF and the rights of the College. All-College Cabinet last Thursday recom mitted a resolution that would name the sub committee on organization control of the Sen ate committee on student affairs as the court of appeals for decisions of the All-College elec tions committee. The recommendation would defeat one of the prime objectives of student government by throwing responsibility now held by the stu dents to the faculty and administration. The sub-committee is made up of five persons, two of whom are students. Today HELLENIC SOCIETY, 7:30 p.m., TUB. RADIO STATION Business Staff, 7 p.m., 312 Sparks.

The.glazing fault is that two of the appellate court members may have previously heard the case. Those would be Tribunal or Judicial chair man, and dean of men or dean of women. Thus, two of the appellate court's seven members would have basis for preconceived conceptior of guilt. This is contrary to the American concept at justice. Nowhere in American court prodedure does a judge of the original court also sit on the appellate court. To the contrary, the idea of appeal is a new and unprejudiced trial. Of course, the appellate court reviews the lower court decision, but the lower court judges are not present in appeal to again hear the case. Siime may feel this is quibbling over a small point. It is not. There is no sense having an appellate court if its members, or some of its members, have already decided upon guilt or innocence before hearing the case. It was on this same point cabinet last week amended the new traffic court plan, removing Tribunal mem bers from the court. There is an acceptable alternative. It involves two changes: (1) To have cases screened by assistants in the dean of men's or women's offices, thus leaving the dean free for the ap peal, and (2) to replace Judicial and Tribunal chairmen on the appeals court with president of Association of Independent Men, Interfra ternity Council, Leonides, or Panhellenic Coun cil, depending upon which group the student is under. Chances may be one in 20, under the present set-up, that the court would be prejudiced. Who is willing to be that one? The Student Encampment committee which presented this plan probably had in mind elim inating as much bias as possible by throwing appeal decisions to a body logically concerned with student organizations, and sufficiently far removed from the dispute to be objective. However, a dispute with the elections com mittee by one or both political parties over an election decision is primarily, a student ' con cern. When that student concern is handed to the faculty or the administration, student gov ernment shows that it haS little faith in the ability of the students to govern themselves. If an appellate court for elections committee decisions is necessary, the students should ac cept the responsibility. •If the students cannot be trusted to govern- themselves, then why have student government at all?

John Foster exhibited a col= lection of 37 neo-objectives in oils and water colors last summer at a one man showing at the Play house Galleries in New Hope. Mrs. Constance Ward, director of the galleries, thought his works were "simply marvelous!" "We've had a larger turnout for Foster than for any other show. The interest in his work both on the part of the public and his fer;:' low artists is remarkable," she told the press last August.
