FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1963 Discipline Subcommittee Favors USG Resolution The administrative members of the Senate Subcommittee-on Dis cipline said recently that they would favor the passage of the new Undergraduate Student Gov ernment resolution' to add another voting student member to the subcomMittee. _ THE RESOLUTION was passed by the Senate Committee on Stu dent Affairs last week and was forwarded to the Senate Commit tee on Committees for considera tion: If the resolution 'passes this committee it will be presented to the Senate. Presently the discipline sub-- comiiiittee has four voting mem bers: the University psychiatrist, a faculty member, the dean of the college in which the student under consideration is enrolled and either the USG president for cases involving male students or the president of the Association of Women Students for coeds. If the resolution is passed, .the Applications Due Foreign Study '64 For By STEVE CIMBALA Applications for the Study Abroad program for the 1964 spring term must be submitted by Feb. 15, Dagobert de Levie, di rector of the program, said yes terday. Students wishing to participate in the program can obtain forms in 212 Willard, office of the Lib eral Arts Study, Abroad program, from 8 to-12 a.m. and 1 to 5 p.m. daily, De Levie said. He empha sized that the program is not re stricted to students in the Col lege of Liberal Arts, but that students from any of the Univer sity's colleges - may apply. Any student who will be a soph omore, junior or senior during the 1963-64 academic year is eligible for the program, he said. THIS YEAR'S ten-week pro gram will send a total of 116 Uni versity students to study at the Universities of Strasbourg (France), Cologne (Germany) and Salamanca (Spain). Concerning qualifications for next year's program, De Levie said students should have an all- University average of 2.50 or bet ter and must show evidence of THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK. PENNSYLVANIA chairman of the tribunal or cen tral judicial originally hearing the case will also sit as a voting mem ber of the subcommittee. John D. Walmer, University psychiatrist, said that although he was satisfied with present stu dent participation, he was favor able to increased student partici pation. "This is just what I waist to see. I would like to see total student handling of disciplinary problems someday." " "If this resolution represents more interest on the part of the students to take part in the decision-making, and more will ingness to accept responsibility for conduct on campus, then I favor and encourage-it," Walmer said. Ralph G. Ascah, associate pro fessor of chemistry, said - that the resolution has both advantages and disadvantages. "By enlarging the subcommit tee, the additional-student may maturity, stability, self-discipline and strong academic motivation. Preferably, applicants should have a background in. at least one foreign language, he said. Final selection will be made by the Committee on Study Abroad after consultations with the stu dents' advisors. Next year's overseas program will coincide exactly with the University's official spring calen dar and will conclude approxi mately June 8, as does this year's program, De Levie said. COSTS OF the term abroad will be about the same as the costs of a term at the University, with the addition of travel expenses and a $35 registration fee, he added. In addition, De Levie announced that registration for participants in this year's program will be held at 7:30 p.m: Thursday, Feb. 7, in 10 Sparks. This procedure is nec essary, the project director said, because the study abroad partici pants did not pre-register for the spring term as did other students. When the student is abroad, he will be registered here and no problem of transfer of credits is involved, he said. make it 'unwieldy, but at the same time he will be able to present an opinion that will be valuable since he is closer to the problems of student discipline. Ascah, stating that he has no objection, to having the resolu tion passed, said, "This is obvious ly a new proposal and worth test ing. We shall see how it fares in the Senate." In addition to these voting members, the subcommittee has other members who act in an ad visory position, including repre sentatives from the offices of the Deans of Men and of Women. Daniel R. Leasure, assistant Dean of Men for disciplinary mat ters, said that the resolution was a real contribution. "It would be a boon to the whole judicial sys tem," he said: "THE STUDENT would be more familiar with the case and have a knowledge of conditions and problems that might be foreign to the committee," he said. Leasure, who has supported 'the idea from its inception at the judicial workshop during student encampment this fall, said that the resolution deserved "real con sideration," and that he hoped the Senate. would pass it. Marian B. Davison, assistant to the Dean of Women, also said she had no objection to having the resolution passed. Mrs. Davison said she felt that the chairman of the judicial originally - hearing the case was the logical student to add to the subcommittee; although "women's judicials rarely hear cases that are serious enough to be sent to the subcommittee." •:1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111: TV RENTALS P by day, week, month TELEVISION SU SERVICE E.
