Senate OK's
Dismissal
Of Students
The Senate Subcommittee on
Discipline yesterday upheld the
recommendations of Tribunal con
cerning four students tried earlier
this week.
Two students were dismissed
from the University indefinitely
effective at the end of the semes
ter, another received suspension
until the spring semester, 1960
and the fourth, a senior will have
his diploma withheld until at least
January, 1960.
The two students were dis
missed because they violated the
disciplinary probation they were
already on. They had appeared be
fore Tribunal last November on
the charge of holding a drunken
party and causing a disturbance
in their downtown room.
At that time they were placed
on probation and ordered to move.
Twice more they were ordered to
move and they finally did on,
April 29.
The senior was charged with
stealing pizza from a Home De
livery truck. The sub-committee
upheld the Tribunal recommenda
tion and ruled he will not receive
his diploma. He may petition the
sub-committee for his diploma at
the end of the fall semester.
The discipline committee will
then decide whether or not to
grant the diploma.
Suspension, with automatic re
admission for the spring semester
of 1960, was ordered for the oth
er student charged with stealing
pizza.
