3 To View Rights Of Demonstrators

By JAN TEAGUE
  Two faculty members and one student were appointed by the Campus Parking and Security Committee Friday afternoon to form a declaration of student rights. 
   Dr. E . M. Gal, professor of psychiatry, is chairman of the subcommittee that will study student rights. Ray Mossman, business manager and treasurer of the University, and Roger McCabe, L2, Taylorville, Ill., are the committee members. 
   In other business the committee decided to continue the study of student demonstrations, leave the amount of parking fines as it now stands and further encourage the deputization of Campus Security officers.
    The newly elected subcommittee will form a statement clarifying the rights of students in relation to the University during demonstrations, R. F .. Dole associate professor of law and chairman of the committee, said. 
    This declaration will be presented to the committee for approval. 
   J.N. Kuhnm professor of education and chairman of the subcommittee that is studying the recent antiwar demonstrations in view of future security precautions, gave his views on the subject. The committee decided to study the matter further. 
   Parking fines will not be altered this year, Dole said. " We don't think they are so sufficiently unreasonable that they need to be changed in the middle of the year. However, we will reconsider the entire fine structure next year." 
   The committee reaffirmed its action of asking the Johnson County Board of Supervisors to deputize 10 security officers. 
   The committee wants to deputize but not arm these men. Sheriff Maynard Schneider said he did not want to deputize unarmed men.
