Helping the office of student
affairs with serious discipli
nary problems and giving the
students a chance to talk these
problems over "with their
peers" is the purpose of Stu
dent Tribunal, according to
Max Martin.
Martin, who was recently
reappointed to a second term
on the tribunal, continued,
"We are not really a court or
a jury, but a group that helps
the students and at the same
time assists the deans."
Serious disciplinary cases

the letter noted.
The letter's writer ex

Frank,' 'Ring Round tbe
fairs, and Howard Ilimmel
reich, assistant to the dean.
"We meet whenever there
are cases to hear," Martin
said. "Some weeks there are
none and others there might
be three or four."
He added that the Tribunal
usually hears "on the ave
rage of four cases a month."
"Most of the cases involve
what I call 'general rowdi
ness'," Martin continued.
"For instance, someone came
before us who'd hit his room
mate over the head with a
chair and knocked out a light.
Many of these cases are con
nected with alcohol or drink
ing in the dorms."
Moon,' 'Hamlet.' 'Long Day's
Journey Into Night,' 'Peer

ther found time each year to
serve as play director and de
signer for the All State
High School Fine Arts Pro

of three faculty persons to sit
on the Policy Committee, "the
most responsible of committee
assignments."
Informed Insight
"He has fulfilled his duties
on both committees with no
table shrewdness and forth
rightness. To problems which

seem routine, he brings an in
formed insight. His judgments

"He is a serious student of
toe law to which he gives his
whole attention," the letter
said.
Lake is a 1943 graduate of
the University and is active
in the Eoy Scout movement.
According to Martin, the
Tribunal reads through state
ments concerning a case writ
ten by Ross, the student and
anyone else who may be in
volved and then talks to the
student.
"He usually' tells why he
did what he did and gives any
unusual circumstances in
volved," he continued. "Then
we make . a recommendation
to the dean. Conduct probation
is the most serious recommen
dation we've made this year."
He explained that although
the tribunal made only recom
mendations "the recommen
dations are weighed pretty

Senate
amueison
A farewell address, a pre
sentation of the outstanding
senator award and the swear
ing in of new officers were
included in the Student Sen
ate meeting Wednesday.
The John Lydick Award
was presented to Bob Samuel
son and Bill Coufal for "ser
vice to students and self-sac-rifice."
Both Samuelson and Coufal
were senior senators. Samuel
son led investigations of t h e
football ticket situation and
the tuition hike proposal and
was recently elected second
vice president.
Coufal served as speaker of
the house and as such worked
with the executive committee
during the year.
Officers Sworn In
Terry Schaaf was sworn in
as ASUN president, Roger
Doerr as first vice president
and Samuelson as second vice
president.
The 35 Senate members for
next year also took their
oaths of office.
. Out-going president Kent
Neumeister and out-going vice
president Larry Frolik re
ceived gavels from the Sen
te. In a farewell address to the
ASUN, Neumeister outlined
the changes college campuses
have taken in recent years
and the challenges that s t u
dent government has under
taken to bring them about.
"Experience has shown that
no government is at its b e s t
except when it does face chal
lenges," he stressed. T h e
same will hold true for the
student government next
year."
'Precedents Shattered'
Neumeister referred to the
past year as one "that shat
tered old precedents and set
new ones, a year that com
bined continuity with change."
"Our situation on this cam
pus is neither unique nor nov
el," be explained and w ent on
to discuss tbe impart of col
lege students on society.
"The impact students are
making either for good or ill
is making front page news
everywhere," he stated.
"The root cause seems to
be the tremendous . growing
pains within the universities."
Today's students, he noted,
are receptive to failures
around them.

Religion
Resolution
To Regents
The establishment of a de
partment of religion at the
University would probably
bring a legal battle, accord
ing to reactions expressed by
some administrators and
campus pastors.
A resolution asking for tbe
establishment of such a de
partment has been presented
to the Board of Regents and
Chancellor Hardin by the
University Council on Relig
ion. (COR) a student group
under tbe guidance of cam
pus pastors.
Walter Militzer, dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences,
said that as far as he knows
there is a state statute that
would prohibit the statlisb

heavily. To my knowledge
they are always followed."
Penalties are not always
the same for the same of
fenses, Martin continued.
"Everything depends on the
individual circumstance," he
added, "not what went on be
fore." Martin said that at the be
ginning of the year when Him
melreich and Russel Brown,
from the University counsel
ing service, became involved
with the tribunal, "some tri
vial cases came before us, but
after a meeting, we stopped
hearing them."
One of these "trivial cases"
1966
are not simply satisfied with
objective research of the sit
uation," he said. "They want
personal involvement and
first-hand experience and an
opportunity to work for
change."
The silent generation of the
1950's, Neumeister continued,
has given way to the com
mitted generation of the
1960's.
"The generation that played
it cool has yielded to a gen
eration that wants to define
relationships and do some
thing about them." he noted.
Power Debate
He spoke of the debate con
cerning power relationships
which creates more questions
such as "how are decisions
made within the structure of
the Universtiy, who partici
pates in this process and how
can the quality of decisions as
well as the quality of the decision-making
process be im
proved." ,
He added tbJat the student
and student government could
not "refuse to become in
volved simply by virtue of
his being a student."
ASUN did respond to these
challenges, he said, and re
alized for the first time that
"the interests of students and
faculty do not necessarily
coincide."

Director Projects 6fi00
To Enroll This Summer
Summer school, which was once for teachers wishing ta
renew their certificates and those who were behind in their
regular studies, will have approximately 6.000 students and
375 faculty members this year for the eight week session.
According to Dr. Frank Sorenson, director of summer
sessions, all facilities that are open during the regular
school year will be available during the summer session.
"You can't tell the difference at a glance between the
summer session and the regular school" year," Sorenson
said
Students wishing to attend summer sessions have until
May 15 to submit their worksheets for pre-registration. Open
registration will be held June 10-11, and continue until June
20.
Fees for summer sessions are as follows: $84.50 for a
resident student taking six or more hours; 215.50 for a non
resident taking six or more hours. Rates for s 1 u d e n t s tak
ing Jess than six hours are scaled downward. Nine hours
is the maximum load a student may take during summer
session.
In addition to the regular eight week session, a special
post-session will be held beginning Aug. S. Students mav
choose either the three week session, which ends Aug. 27,
or Vie four week session which ends Sept. 2.
Accord "ig to Sorenson, any student attending the debt
week session will be able to get an air-cond.lioned dormi
tory room. By the 1967 session, all of the classroom facili
ties used during the summer will be air-conditioned.
Students attending both the eight-week and the post
session will receive full credit for their work. For the eiebt
wee session, classes which normally meet three davs a
week will meet five days a week.
The length of the post-session classes is adjusted so
that students attending the post-sesrion will spend as much
time in their classes as students attending the eight-week
session.
Graduate students are a major group of participants to
the summer sessions. "The graduate program is operated
on a year-round basis now," Sorenson said' "Approximately
2.500 students beyond the baccalaureate level will attend
the summer session."
Another group of students who have made Increasing
use of summer classes are new freshmen. Approximately
509 new fmbmm will attend this summer. "We used to
discourage new fmhrnen from coming to summer sft
sions," Sorenson said, "but now they are encouraged to be
gin thHr college careers during tbe summer session."
"Two factors have heJpea the summer sessions it en
large the way they have," Sorenson explained. "First,
formerly didn't encourage new freshmen t attend. Second,
students living on-campus nere discouraged from slavw
during the summer. Both policies have cow been reversed,
conduct is a reflection, and
therefore they should answer
do it."
He added that he did not
really know why more stu
dents don't know about the
Tribunal, except for the fact
that it is a disciplinary body
which o n 1 y a few students
come in contact with.
The Tribunal is composed
of four seniors, two juniors, a
law student and two faculty
advisers. The students are
chosen by an ASUX interview
board in the spring.
The Tribunal has been func
