Review Set
For 3 Cases
Of Discipline
Three cases of student discipline
will ,be reviewed by the Senate
Committee on Student Affairs
subcommittee on discipline today.
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes re
ported that the committee would
meet to act on the recommenda
tion of Tribunal that a second se
mester pre-med major be given a
deferred suspension from the uni
versity.
The student had been found
guilty of underage drinking, con
duct detrimental to the good name
of the University,'and negligence
in the responsibility for the con
duct of his.date. The girl-had-been
found unconscious from drinking,
following the Junior Prom Nov.
6. She had been reported to have
been found in the snow.
Deferred suspension means that
a student is suspended from the
University at the end of the cur
rent semester. He may be allowed
to return if sufficient reason is
given' to -the Dean of Men.
Investigation of this case by the
Dean of Men’s office and the In
terfraternity Council board Of
control led to the suspension of
social privileges of Theta Xi fra
ternity for serving alcoholic bev
erages and permitting a freshman
woman to attend an unchaperon
ed social function, a violation of
the IFC unchaperoned dating
code.
The case of the student who
provided the alcoholic beverages
to the fraternity will also be re
viewed by the committee.
The third disciplinary case will
involve a first semester freshman
from the Nittany Dorm area who
was caught tampering with a fire
extinguisher.. The infraction was
cited as a violation of both state
and federal laws.
