money, probably more than they will ever have

not just from them and their classmates, but
from the pocketbooks of many former students
who may never see the building. Future stu

not deserve to be left a “beat-up” building.

Tribunal: Penalties for All Occasions
By TED SERRILL
(This is the first of two articles
explaining the powers and
functioning of Tribunal, men’s
student judicial body.)
Tribunal is one of three stu
dent disciplinary bodies on
campus which hear cases of
misconduct involving men stu
dents.
Falling within its jurisdic
tion are cases concerning con
duct detrimental to the name
or reputation of the Univer
sity and crimes against student
government regulations.
The only exceptions to Tri
bunal's jurisdiction involve
morals, academic honesty, or
obvious psychological difficul
ty. Cases more directly, dealing
with the’ Interfraternity Coun
cil or the Association of Inde
pendent Men's Judicial Board
of Review are also excluded.
Aside from declining to hear
a case and acquitting a stu
dent, Tribunal may recom
mend four penalties to the
dean of men’s office. Two mi
nor penalties are Tribunal
warning and Tribunal proba
tion.
Under Tribunal probation
the record of the student’s of
fense is placed only in the
court’s case files, not the Uni
Ittof Jalr ». UI4 at tha Stata Callaca. Pa. Paat Offlca aNai tha act af llarth' t. UII.
versity’s files. But should the
student be found at fault at
some future time the record
will be considered by Tribu
nal.
Office probation is imposed
by the dean of men on a stu
dent upon Tribunal's recom
mendation. A- lemporay nota
tion of the incident is placed
on the student's University
record for a specified length
of time.
Disciplinary probation is in
voked by the Senate Commit
tee on Student Affairs after
reviewing and accepting Tri
bunal’s recommendation. A
permanent record of the case
will be placed on the student’s
transcript, but it may be ap
pealed for removal at a later
date.
This penalty also requires
that the student may not rep
resent the University by hold
ing an office or position of
esteem in in any extra-cur
ricular activity. This includes
being a member of any student
council, varsity club, or aca
demic society.
Suspension from the Univer
sity requires the student to
leave the campus for a set
length of time, usually a se
mester or more. He may be
readmitted under probationary

Wilson Interprets
Meaning of DIR
Among the most misunderstood divisions on campus is what is
popularly known as DIR, the Division of Intermediate Regisratioh.
The term DIR used to carry such a stigma that when a student /
admitted he was enrolled in this division his face would betray his
embarrassment. But the blush was usually there only because the
person he was talking to had said “Oh” in that rather odd way.
This “Oh” expressed the miscon
ception held by so many about
the role of DIR.
Contrary to popular opinion,
DIR does not just provide a way
of helping scholastically low stu
dents stay in school, though this
is its primary purpose.
Switch Schools ,
Ttye division serves today as a
transitionary medium for stu
dents who wish to change schools.
It allows them to ascertain whe
ther a certain school is really the
one they want to enroll in to gain
the'requred subjects, and to build
up the required average for the
school, according to H. K. Wilson,
director of the division.
One of the most important aims
of DIR, Wilson .said, is to impress
the student that the University,
despite its size, is not interested
in just mass production, but is
interested in each student indi
vidually.
Counseling
The division for this reason has
a counseling service for its stu
dents. Some students may see
their counselor, once a semester;
others, once a week. Eight educa
tional counselors are employed by
DIR, four of these full-time.
A hypothetical but typical case
might perhaps best explain how
FRIDAY .MARCH 11. 1955
By Bibler
DIR attempts to serve the stu
dent and the University.
C. O. Williams, registrar and
dean of admissions, while open
ing his mail finds a letter fijom a
worried mother. The woman has
written to Williams asking for
advice as to what to do about her
son’s .low grades. Williams sends
the letter over to Wilson and DIR;
but also replies to the parent’s
letter. j
The student doesn’t have M
wait for the division’s letter ask
ing him to come for - counseling.
But he-usually does! The parents
also receive a letter and a mime
ographed sheet telling them what
DIE is and how their son can be
reinstated in one of the schools.
The 'Counselor tries to impress
the student that he is “on the
student’s side,” Wilson said. Th|fe
counseling is indirect- with the
student making his own decisions.
It is tied'in with the existing
