"Continuous News serviceSince 1881."'. S

By Sandy CohenA new proposal by two facul-

ty members of the DisciplineCommittee, Roy Kaplow 11l andLouis S. Osborne VIII, for inter-nal reform of that' group metmixed reaction at Tuesdaynight's General Assemblymeeting.

The GA passed by a vote of34-3 a motion commending theDiscipline Committee for its at-tempt at self-change, but ques-tioning the ability of the com-mittee, operating under the pro-posed reforms, to handle so-called "political" cases, specific-ally those of the alledged tres-passers.

The plans would change therole of the Dean for StudentAffairs from prosecutor to gen-eral overseer of the case, andallow the Committee to ask ano-ther faculty member to presidewhen it does not wish one of itsown members to do so. TheInstitute Would pay for legalcounsel, probably law students,to assist in the preparation ofcases for both parties. Also therewould be a "Piesident's JudicialAdvisory Board" available toconsult with the President as anappeals measure.

The motion proposed byCathy Buckley '71, concerningthe Discipline Committee, en-gendered much heated discus-sion. Greg Habeeb '71 presentedthe partial results of the GA pollon whether internal disciplinaryaction should be taken against'the students accused of trespas-sing. 568 of those who werepolled said that action should betaken, while 830 disagreed. Thesecond question was rather con-fusing, but it was evident thatmany students would rather see

t

any action that is taken post-poned until a new judicial system is in operation.

Mermeli appointedAlso considered before pas

sage of Miss Buckley's motionwas whether the GA wished toreverse the action taken by theExecutive Counmittee when itchose Andrew Mermell '72 to fillthe vacancy on the DisciplineCommittee left by the resigna-tion of Peter Kramer '70. Manyrepres,entatives questioned thepolitical value of appointingsomeone to-a committee whosedisolution the group had previ-ously demanded (at its January13 meeting). Mermell and othersmaintained that an additionalstudent voice on the Committeewould aid in its reformation.

Actual consideration of the.motion began when Jerry Greer'71 proposed a resolution whichwould have asked the MIT com-munity to disregard any internalaction which the Institute mighttake. Tracy McLellan '71 thenproposed to substitute. forGreer's motion one commendingthe Discipline Committee for itssteps toward. reforming the judi-cial process. The move to substi-tute was tabled, and Greer's mo-tion was defeated.

James S. Wiley '73 then re-moved Miss McLellan's motion,and it was amended to ask theDiscipline Committee to takeinto account the results of theGA poll. Miss Buckley theninade her motion to substitute,which was passed 30-9. After anunsuccessful attempt was madeto adjourn, the motion was over-whelmingly passed.

GA joins SMCIn another motion passed at

the meeting, the General Asserm-

bly joined a coalition which isorganizing the anti-war activitiesto be held in April. Several othercampus organizations may beparticipating in the coordinationof these activities.

Ed Grossman '71 and PeterLindner '71 were approved bythe GA as co-chairmen of SCEP.Gary Felser '71 was approved asSCE chairman and Harvey Baker'72 and Bob Longair '73 wereconfirmed as appointees to theNominations Committee.

By Joe KashiDean for Student Affairs

Daniel Nyhart announced yester-day that he had transmittedcharges against 11 I MIT studentsto Discipline Commnittee chair-man Roy Lamson XXI for theoccupation of the President'soffice.

This will'begin the internaldisciplinary process against 11occupiers of the President's of-fice who are still students at

MIT. Previously, 28 had beencharged in civil court, but thecases have been continued with-out further action untilNovember.

Nyhart gave the charges toLamson early Thursday after-noon; Lamson notified thosecharged of the proceedingagainst them late Thursday.They will have ten school daysto reply to the charges under thenew regulations adopted by thecomm ittee.

After counsel for both sideshas helped prepare the chargesand response, the committee willsit in executive session to decidewhether to conduct hearings onthe charges or to dismiss 'them.The counselors would not playan active role in the hearingsthemselves.

Students chargedMIT students charged are:

Frank Taylor '71, Rich Eddle-man '70, Peggy Hopper '71,David Krebs '7 2, Charles Sim-mons '72, Aaron Tovish '71,Jeffrey Mermelstein '72, DonaldWolman '71, Peter Kramer '70,George Katsiaficas '70, and TomGoreau '71.

Transmission of the chargeswas originally set for severalweeks ago. but was postponeduntil the GA task force on judi-cial reform could report anduntil civil action was taken so asnot to prejudice the cases of thestudents charged.

About 150 students demonstrated in favor of striking postal workersTuesday at Post Office Square. The demonstrators started slowly,marching around the trianglein the center of the square while anumber of striking Post Office workers looked on.

Phloto by Harold -Federow

dum would call for "total with-drawal of US troops" fromSoutheast Asia, with the slogan"Let the people vote on theWar." Currently, the petitionsare being prepared so that theywill fulfill all legal requirements.Petitions to have the policyquestion placed on the ballotwill come out "a week or twobefore' the fifteenth" accordingto Bresnahan. There will also bea call for the-governor to put iton the ballot.

Bresnahan said that the NewMobe will distribute literaturefor local groups to use in canvas-sing before the fifteenth. The

Mobe will not, however, attemptto organize door-to-door canvas-sing as it did in October. Instead,the SMC will distribute leafletsat transportation centers,schools and factories in the area.

Speakers will include FatherRobert Drinan, congressionalcandidate, Senator CharlesGoodell of New York, Mike Kel-ly, gubernatorial candidate inMassachusetts, Carol Lippman,national secretary of the SMCand a member of the BlackPanther Party. Negotiations withBoston city officials for the useof the Common and for paraderoutes have also begun.

By Alex MakowskiFew solutions emerged during

Monday evening's discussion ofthe role of students in campusgovernance, as those students,faculty, and administrators pres-sent were seldom able to reach aconsensus.

President Howard Johnson'sdescription of the administra-tion's proper function as "tryingto understand what this Insti-tute's contribution to its stu-dents and society should be"went unchallenged, but fewother opinions fared as well..

The thirty-five or forty parti-cipants grappled with the pro-blem of delineating boundariesof power for the administration("I've heard people suggest'thatmaybe the administration shouldput chalk in the classrooms" -Kevin George '71), faculty ("Un-til a short time ago, the facultywas just not interested in th!jobof running the Institute; theycame here to research , and'teach" - Professor Louis Smul-lin), and students ("Having stu-dents run MIT would lead tochaos. and disaster" - ProvostJerome Wiesner).

Administration stanceThe focal point for much of

this criticism was the administra-tion. Though Wiesner assertedthat the 'sgreat btulk" of thestudent body was "contentenough" with the adininistra-tion, and President Johnson

maintained that "If I ever wokeup some morning without feel-ing that students were giving metop marks, I'd leave," severalundergraduates were convincedthat students are underrepresent-ed; that they are "second-classcitizens." UAP Wells Eddlemanargued that his' constituency,having no real power, is left onlywith the tool of persuasion.

None of the faculty mermberspresent were inclined to criticizethe administration. Smullin not-ed that traditionally MIT hasfavored a strong president, whileJohnson added that ProfessorCharles Kindleberger, past Chair-man of the Faculty, had pointedout that the faculty -had agreedto hand a large part of the breadand butter work of running theInstitute over to the administra-tion.

Student GovernmentThe role student government

should play was another much-debated issue. Greg Chisholm'73 argued that the General As-senibly, bereft of any power,had degenerated to little morethan a debate society. A solutionproposed was to delegate to thatbody proportional control overthose areas of campus govern-ance that directly affected them.Commons, for example, wouldbe solely the purview of studentgovernment, while studentswould have-some say in curricu-lar decisions.

A conference on the "Crisisin Southern Africa" will be heldat MIT on the 9th and 10th ofApril to discuss measures thatminight help alleviate the plight ofblack citizens of legally-segregat-ed South Africa.

The conference, to be held inKresge Auditorium, is beingsponsored by the MIT 'BlackStudents Union. America's rela-tions with- South Africa, espe-cially economic investments byUS companies in white-con-trolled South African industry,will be one of the main subjectsof the conference.

Among the other aims of theconference will be the establish-ment of information networksabout conditions within SouthAfrica and guerilla activitiesthere.

The conference will assumetwo formats: 'small discussiongroups of 20-30 people and larg-er plenary sessions with panels

and featured speakers. Speakertopics will include "Perspectiveson Southern Africa," "The Rev-olution in Southern Africa,""South-African Imperialism andRevolution," and "Black Afri-

cans and International BlackLiberation."

African representativesRepresentatives from the

black liberation movements inSouth Africa, Mozambique, An-gola, and South West Africa, andthe African National Conferencewill be present. Registrationforms are available in room4-332.

A featured speaker will beDennis Brutus, a South Africanpoet in exile. Brutus was amongthe first to attempt to stopSouth Africa's segregated teamsfrom going to the Olympics. Hiswork is presently banned inSouth Africa. Brutus expects anarmed black liberation struggleto begin soon in his homeland.

11 students to face MITdiscipline for occupation

GA hears judicial changes

Spring 1By Lee Giguere

A mass demonstration againstthe Vietnam war is beingplanned by a coalition of Bostonanti-war groups for April 1 5.

Plans call for a late afternoonrally on the Common with elev-en speakers, The organizers fore-see a demonstration similar tothat of last October 15. There isalso the possibility of smallerdemonstrations sponsored bymembers of the coalition earlierin the week.

At MIT, the Student Mobili-zation Committee is planning ameeting on April 8 in the Stu-dent Center to organize MIT'sparticipation in the April 15demonstration. According to StuSinger, the group plans to begincanvassing on campus on the13th and 14th. Singer felt that"99%" of the campus is againstthe war and gaining support forthe 15th is going to be largely anorganizational problem.

Bob Bresnahan, coordinatorof the city-wide rally, said thatthe success of the day '"hingeson whether the demonstrationcatches on," especially with lo-cal newspapers since the coali-tion does not have large re-sources for publicity. He saidthat many- of the "liberal" pa-pers which supported October15 might have been scared offby the radicals who became asso-ciated with it. He said, however,that if they.(the newspapers) docome out in support of the day,"it will be bigger than October,"since sentiment against the waris still as. high as it was in thefall.

Referendum -The coalition is also working

to have a referendum put on theNovember -ballot which wouldask as "a question of policy"whether the people wanted 'thewar to continue. The referen-

TravestyLast Tuesday, March 24, the General Assembly

resoundingly passed a motion stating that it feltthe Discipline Committee was incapable of hand-ling "political cases" and specifically the cases ofthose people charged in the occupation of thePresident's Office. The motion concluded, "Wetherefore insist or request that these cases [':politi-cal cases"] be deferred until a new system isimplemented by the faculty, and would request ofthe -faculty that it expedite currert considera-tions." The motion resulted after a presentation ofthe proposed changes in the Discipline Committee,which had resulted from the combined efforts ofthe Discipline Committee and the General Assem-bly's own Judicial Task Force. It is unfortunatethat -the motion is blindly ignorant of the factsconcerning the situation.

It was a stated fact that the administration wasgoing to bring the cases of those involved upbefore the judicial process. It is a fact that theefforts which went into changing the DisciplineCommittee were expended for the purpose ofmaking the Discipline Committee a more equitableprocess for internal discipline. It was a fact thatthe charges would be acted upon in the nearfuture. Yesterday "the near future" became",now" and the charges were transmitted to thenewly changed Discipline Committee.The GeneralAssembly naively attempted to insist that realitynot be allowed to occur.

If the General Assembly was unaware of thesefacts, as the discussion on Tuesday might haveindicated, it can be accused of ignorance. Topropose such a motion in the face of the reality ofthe situation without offering an alternative pro-posal is totally irresponsible. The GA Judicial TaskForce worked on the problem for weeks andconcluded that the proposed Discipline Committee

which dares call itself the gov-ernment of the people is notonly deaf to the people's 'cries,but seems to be slowly trying tomake the people mute as well.

But then, maybe NixOn onlywants to hear the sports scoreshe had a hard time hearing lastNovember 15th when a half mil-lion Americans asked to beheard. But if you remember,although he didn't hear the foot-ball game, he said that hewouldn't hear the people either.Soon, there may be no one ableor brave enough to shout;

When considered along withgnew's intimidation of the na-ional press, the Chicago Con-piracy Trial, and the dailyranding those who disagreeith the Nixon Administrations "nuts and kooks," this latestep to still the voice of a dis-rnting segment of the Americanublic and keep watch on it isast the stage of being ominous.

If, as Thomas Jefferson saidIt is the duty of every citizen

dissent," is it not the duty ofresponsible government to al-

)w and listen to dissent? Thatroup of men in Washington

By Joe KashiPresident Nixon's latest ef-

fort to suppress ,apleasant dis-sent cannot be regarded as any-thing except a deliberate at-tempt to abrogate the right ofevery American to express hisopinion in a peaceful way to theleaders of the Federal govern-ment. As such it is a clear anddirect violation of the Bill ofRights and probably a portent ofmore restrictive future measures.

Wednesday's New YorkTimes reports that Nixon hasinstructed the National ParkService, which administers theWhite House grounds, to require,a protest group planning to pick-et in front of the White House todisclose two weeks before anyplanned demonstration "any rec-ords of arrest, convictions andjail terms of those due to .takepart." Moreover, the new regula-tions require "the disclosure ofany previous demonstrations inwhich the demonstrator had tak-en part, as well as the degree towhich he advocated the use ofviolence."

-THE -,=.~~~~~~...rof justicechanges were commendable and appropriate, es-pecially in light of the circumstances. The GeneralAssembly in a single three hour meeting decided tothe contrary. Considering the time and effortspent by the Judicial Task Force it is a travestythat the GA, in all of its wisdom, could so quicklyvote in opposition to the painstakingly consideredviews of the Task Force.

Many members of the General Assembly ex-pressed a desire to see a new judicial system evolvefrom the work of the Commission's Task Force onGovernance headed by Professor Campbell Searle;it is implied by the motion which "insists orrequests" that ". . these cases be deferred until anew system is implemented...." This is also thedesire of the Discipline Committee itself whichstates in its proposed changes, "The outlinedprocedures are not to -be construed as creating afinal system. It is anticipated that further changesmay be made on the recommendation of the MITCommission." We support such changesnd an-xiously await the Commission's recommendations.

It is clear that once again a motion passed bythe General Assembly will be severely criticizedand de facto ignored, all because it is the result ofan uninformed body of people inclined towardshasty', dramatic votes on "pressing issues." Theneed for careful deliberation of formal motions isobvious if these motions are to be listened to andrespected. With this in mind we propose a simplesolution to this lack. of a deliberative process; allmotions must be passed at two consecutive meet-ings before they are considered a formally passedmotion. This would serve to stimulate thoughtfuldiscussion of issues and careful consideration offacts, thus preventing such a travesty as occurredlast Tuesday night.

Wednesday's' New YorkTimes reports that Nixon hasinstructed the National ParkService, which administers theWhite House grounds, to requirea protest group planning to pick-et in front of the White House todisclose two weeks before anyplanned demonstration "any rec-ords of arrest, convictions andjail terms of those due to.takepart." Moreover, the new regula-tions require '"the disclosure ofany previous demonstrations inwhich the demonstrator had tak-en part, as well as the degree towhich he advocated the use ofviolence."

TravestyLast Tuesday, March, 24, the General Assembly

resoundingly passed a motion stating that it feltthe Discipline Committee was incapable of hand-ling "political cases" and specifically the cases ofthose people charged in the occupation of thePresident's Office. The motion concluded,'"Wetherefore insist or request that these cases ["politi-cal cases"] be deferred until a new system isimplemented by the faculty, and would request ofthe faculty that it expedite current considera-tions." The motion resulted after a presentation ofthe proposed changes in the Discipline Committee,which had resulted from the combined efforts ofthe Discipline Committee and the General Assem-bly's own Judicial Task Force. It is unfortunatethat the motion is blindly ignorant of the factsconcerning the situation.

It was a stated fact that the administration wasgoing to bring the cases of those invrolved upbefore the judicial process. It is a fact that theefforts which went into changing the DisciplineCommittee were expended for the purpose ofmaking the Discipline Commitfee a more equitableprocess for internal discipline. It was a fact thatthe charges would be acted upon in the nearfuture. Yesterday "the near future" became"now" and the charges were transmitted to thenewly changed Discipline Committee./The GeneralAssembly naively attempted to insist that realitynot be allowed to occur.

If the General Assembly was unaware of thesefacts, as the discussion on Tuesday might haveindicated, it can be accused of ignorance. Topropose such a motion in the faceof the reality ofthe situation without offering an alternative pro-posal is totally irresponsible. The GA Judicial TaskForce worked on the problem for weeks andconcluded that the proposed Discipline Committee'

which dares call itself the gov-errnment of the people is notonly deaf to the _people's cries,but seems to be slowly trying tomake the people mute as well.

But then, maybe Nixon onlywants to hear the sports scoreshe had a hard time hearing lastNovember 15th When a half mil-lion Americans asked to beheard. But if you remember,although he didn't hear the foot-ball game, he said that hewouldn't hear the people either.Soon, there may be no one ableor brave enough to shout;

When considered along withAgnew's intimidation of the na-tional press, the Chicago Con-spiracy Trial, and the dailybranding those who disagreewith the Nixon Administrationas "nuts and kooks," this lateststep to still the voice of a dis-senting segment of the Americanpublic and keep watch on it ispast the stage of being ominous.

If, as Thomas Jefferson said"it is the duty of every citizento dissent," is it not the duty ofa responsible, government to al-low and listen to dissent? Thatgroup of men in Washington

~THE~~E~~E~:~~~~~~~~~~~ TH -ECof justicechanges were commendable and appropriate, es-pecially in light of the circumstances. The GeneralAssembly in a single three hour meeting decided tothe contrary. Considering the time and effortspent by the Judicial Task Force it is a travestythat the GA, in all of its wisdom, could so quicklyvote in opposition to the painstakingly consideredviews of the Task Force.

Many members of the General Assembly ex-pressed a desire to see a new judicial system evolvefrom the work of the Commission's Task Force onGovernance headed by Professor Campbell Searle;it is implied by the motion which "insists orrequests" that ". . . these cases be deferred until anew system is implemented...." This is also thedesire of the Discipline Committee itself whichstates in its proposed changes, "The outlinedprocedures are not to be construed as creating afinal system. It is anticipated that further changesmay be made on the recommendation of the MITCommission'" We support such changes and an-xiously await the Commission's recommendations.

It is clear that once again a motion passed bythe General Assembly will be severely criticizedand de facto ignored, all because it is the result ofan uninformed body of people inclined towardshasty, dramatic votes on "pressing issues." Theneed for careful deliberation of formal motions isobvious if these motions are to be listened to andrespected. With this in mind we propose a simplesolution to this lack. of a deliberative process; allmotions must be passed at two consecutive meet-ings before they are considered a formally passedmotion. This would serve to stimulate thoughtfuldiscussion of issues and careful consideration offacts, thus preventing such a travesty as occurredlast Tuesday night.

Thenthe -tournament officials an-nounced that the semi-finals andthe finals were to be combined-into a single 24 man roundrobin. Although a change of thissort is against international rules,the tournament went on. -

Already upset, Pomeares waspaired against the other un-defeated fencer in the openinground. He lost this match, aswell as several others that firstday. Although he fenced muchbetter the final day, he ended upfifth.

Much credit for Pommares'success' this season must go 'toCoach Ed Richards. Before Pom-mares came to the US threeyears ago, -he had studied formany years under a French mas-ter. Thus he came to the USwith a beautiful, classic fen'cingstyle which was effective inEuropean competition, butpoorly adapted tb the' totallydifferent style of intercollegiatefencing in this country. CoachRichards, who is one of the bestAmerican fencers, worked withPommares in adapting his styleand the results deserve praisefrom the entire MIT community.
