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

rector of the program, said yes

Students wishing to participate
in the program can obtain forms
in 212 Willard, office of the Lib

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

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."
