Recommend suspensions for Piller, SDS 
Hearing Officer Theodore J. Garfield has recommended that a student be suspended from the University of Iowa for one year, and that Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) be suspended from campus for three years.
Simon J. Piller, 321 South Johnson Street, said he received a letter Saturday from UI Assistant to the Provost Howard N. Sokol telling him that Garfield has recommended that Piller be suspended from the university for one year, and that he be placed in probation for one additional year.
Garfield also recommended that SDS and the Worker-Student Alliance (WSA) be suspended for three years and then placed on probation for one year, according to Piller. 
The recommendations, whicj go to UI Pres. Willard L. Boyd, who will make the final decision, were based on a hearing before Garfield April 13. 
The hearing was based on university charges that Piller and WSA had acted in the name of SDS while the latter group was suspended from the university.
Garfield's recommendations are substantially the same as those that Sokol presented at the hearing. 
Piller said that "since the recommendations are the same as the ones the university asked for, I would assume that Boyd will follow through" and accept them. 
Boyd said Sunday night that he has not yet seen Garfield's recommendations, but would thoroughly review them. 
Piller, who said he was not surprised as Garfield's recommendations, said Sunday "I think the university is running scared; it is afraid of groups like SDS which take action and focus in on everything that goes on here."
