Council Seeks Campus Opinion
On Proposed Student Court
A general outline of the tro-
posed Student Court Constitution
is published below in order to
get student reaction before final
drafts are made- and before final
approval is given by the Student
Council and faculty.
Plans for the proposed Court,
which has been under discussion
and formation by the Judiciary
sub-committee of the Council
for the past six weeks, were re
leased for publication at Wednes
day's meeting.
So far, the main objection to the
Court's constitution, voiced by the
Council representatives who have
explained the plan to their re
spective organiaztions, seems to
lie in the jurisdictional authority
of the Court.
The objection, however, is the
the same as it has been in the
past two years. Students will pre
sent their assignment cards at
the door as their number comes
up. Each student must bring his
work sheet signed by his ad
visor. Time, room and building of
classes are filled out by the stu
dent. Once this is done, then
only pulling their IBM cards re
main and second semester regis
tration is over.
Fees Due Jan. 23, 24
Fees will be paid Jan. 23, 24
at either the Military Science
building or Grant Memorial hall.
Definite site of the payments will
be announced later.
Junior division students may
obtain their assignment cards
Friday. Other students who have
not picked up their cards may do
so then. The past week has been
spent in seeing advisors and fill
ing out work sheets. Pre-regis-tration
should be done as soon
as possible, Dr. Hoover said.
Union Plans Coffee

Following the presentation of
the Messiah Sunday afternoon

ties committee will be hosts at a

question of the need for such a
Court.
The main points of the Consti
tution, which was set up under the
direction of Fred Chael, chair
man of the Judiciary sub-committee,
and other committee mem
bers, are explained below.
Judiciary Authority.
Article I of the Constitution
provides that the Student Court
would have jurisdiction over "all
reported violations of accepted
discipline." This includes viola
tions occurring either on or off
the University campus. Also
parking violations would be gov
erned by the Court. ft
It does not include violations
of a serious nature. These would
continue to be handled by the
University Administration. Nor
would the Court have jurisdiction
of cheating in classes or scholar
ship delinquency.
It would also be possible for
the Court to give advisory opin
ions on matters dealing with stu
dent affairs.
As can be seen in the above
provisions, the Court would only
have jurisdiction over a limited
number of cases. Ray Simmons,
Council representative from the
Law Association, points out that
"the Court would be weak at first
but once it has gained prestige
the Constitution could be amend
ed and its powers increased."
Membership.
As to provisions to member
ship, the Student Court would
consist of seven judges to be
elected by the Student Council
"from the membership of the
Student Council."
The head of the Court would be
known as the President of the
Court, and would be elected by
the Council from the groups of
seven judges. He would preside at
all sessions of the Court, and, in
general, administer the Court.
One of the other judges would
serve as Court Reporter, one as
Clerk of the Court and the re
maining four as an Investigating
committee. They would be ap
pointed by the President and all,
including the President, would
serve for one school year.
The Constitutional provision
for complaints of violations pro
vide that they may be made to
