Act To Stop Discrimination
By Dorms Approved By IDA
By JAN PARKS
Junior Staff Wrter
An act to prohibit discrim
ination in the dormitory sys
tem was approved at the
Inter-Dormitory Association
Council meeting last week.
The approved act forbids
discrimination "based on
race, creed, or national or
igin by IDA, the member dor
mitories, or any organized
dormitory groups."
Tom Briggs, who proposed
the act at a previous meet
ing, described the acts' pass
age as a big step for IDA.
IMPORTANT ISSUES
"We have taken a stand on
one of the most important is
sues facing us as college stu
dents," Briggs stated.
One council member felt
that the word "discrimina
tion" should be more care
fully defined in the act
Tom Ferneau (Selleck)
countered that discrimination
was sufficiently defined in
the Civil Rights Laws of 1964,
1965, and 1966.
Briggs said that the nature
of the act is not punitive
(punishable) but preventive.
"It is my hope that a case
will never have to go to
court," Briggs said.
Bruce Bailey Cather said
that such an act was needed
to update the dormitory
system.
DORM FUNDS
The act prohibits discrimi
nation for social functions as
well as activities involving
dorm funds.

According to the act, the
IDA court will judge whether
a group of dorm residents
has violated the act. In the
e v en t the group is found
guilty a recommendation will
be made to ASUN to stop all
funds for no less than 15 days
nor more than 90 days.
Penalty for violation of this
act, however, must first be
approved by the Office of
Student Affairs, according to
section 3-a of the act.
One of the amendments
made to the act is that pen
alties for violation be made
upon recommendation by the
IDA court to ASUN instead
of to the Office of Student
Affairs as previously stated.
ASUN is the only organiza
tion on campus with the power
to freeze student funds, said
Bailey.
PRESIDENTIAL SALARIES
A resolution was proposed
by Donna Borgaard fSandoz)
to allow individual dormitor
ies instead of IDA to deter
mine their presidents' sal
aries. Salaries of dorm pres
idents is still in the proposal
stage.
Briggs agreed that such a
resolution was needed be

of difference in the time and
responsibility required
of presidents of the various
dorms."
Richard Page (Abel) said,
allowing individual dorms to
set the executive salaries put
the dorm president in an
awkward position, because he
would decide his own salary.
PROPOSAL
Vice President David
Shonka said that such a res
olution would be "shirk
ing eur duty as a co-ordinating
body." He said that
one area of definite co-ordination
between the dorms
would be to present a pro
posal for presidents' salaries
to the administration.
Such a proposal could only
be made if all the dorms had
an equivalent salary system,
he explained.
The Council referred the
resolution back to the Admin
istrative Co-ordinating Com
mittee for further study.

This policy would allow girls

TEST FILES
Jim Cavender (Cather) re
ported that a test file ex

cussed at a meeting of dor

last week.
Cavender said that un
der the proposed system a
dorm resident could use the
test file of another dorm if
he followed the regulations
imposed by that dorm.
A paper back book ex

organizing dorm libraries was
also discussed.
