[handwritten] DI 11/3/67 - Disciplinary Action Promised- Arrestees To Face Dean by MARY CLARK Students arrested in Wednesday afternoon's demonstration will be subject to "the normal University disciplinary procedures" according to M.L. Huit, dean of students and Philip G. Hubbard, dean of academic affairs. The Office of Student Affairs, under Huit has the power to suspend students. However, any students suspended must be referred to the Committee on Student Conduct (CSC) which is comprised of six faculty members and five students. Hubbard said that members of Huit's office would talk to each student before deciding whether to send the cases to the CSC. He said that the students would be handled on an individual basis and that there would be no prejudgment. Hubbard said that he doubted that the students would be suspended for their first offense. Huit Slating Talks Huit said that he has talked to some of the students already and that the rest would be contacted within a few days. He said that until he has talked to each of the students, he could not predict whether they would be sent to CSC for disciplinary action. Huit said that he had talked to some of the members of Students for a Democratic Society who participated in the demonstration. "I didn't detect any surprise from them about the statement by Pres. Howard R. Bowen yesterday. I think they expected it" he said. Bowen in an official statement Wednesday said " Students involved in violations of University regulations will be subject to disciplinary action through the regular University procedures." Will Enforce Rules Hubbard commented that "this is to let the students know that we will continue to enforce regulations." Willard L. Boyd, vice president and dean for academic affairs, also said that "this is the same procedure that would pertain in any matter." However, members of the Committee on Student Life at a meeting Thursday questioned the University's right to prosecute students already being charged under civil law. A.B. Hood, professor of education and chairman of a committee which drew up the CSC guidelines, said that the handling of this situation would set a precedent for further like incidents at the University. He said that the trend has been away from taking University action against students involved in civil cases. But, he said that in this instance he thought the students has broken a University rule by denying other students their right to enter the Union. Huit pointed out that he would also be checking on students who were not arrested but who might have been " inciting to riot" Wednesday. " We are ready to accept complaints from any student or member of the campus security force against persons who might have been inciting violence," Huit said. He said these complaints would be thoroughly checked out. [photo] recruiter, explains Corps literature to Robert Beach, B4, Iowa City.
