Student Judiciary established  a precedent Thursday
when it stated the court will not ". . .render decisions based
only upon evidence presented by . .'.'the dean of student's
office."  :  .
athletic Grants
IIAC Okoys Increased Aid
interstate Intercollegiate        Central's   faculty   approved
Uhletics   Conference    (IIAC)    the proposal at last Monday's
jomcials voted Friday to take    University Senate meeting and
mester and use the money in
an athletic fund for scholarships   and   athletic   buildings.
In explaining the court's
statement Wallace H. Tuttle,
acting chief-justice, said that
prior to Dec. 1 it was the policy of the judiciary to make
decisions based only upon evidence presented by a representative of the dean of student's office.
"However, from this time
forward the Judiciary will require more positive proof
when conflicts arise," said Tuttle, "than just the testimony
of either the dean's office or
the defendant."
The court's statement was
based on a case which was
refused a hearing because of
insufficient evidence. The
case involved a student who
found a book and sold it as
his own in the University Center bookstore. A conflict
arose concerning the time, the
book was lost and later sold,
testimony of whether or not
there was a'name in the book
and the defendant's attempt
to find the owner of the book.
Two  Recommendations
The same case was again
presented to Student Judiciary
last Thursday and received
two different court recommendations. The majority opinion
of the court, was that the student should be placed on social probation for one semester. The majority concurring
justices felt, since it could not
be proven that the book was
removed from the classroom,
they were forced to accept the
defendant's statement that he
did not take the book from the
classroom while attempting to
find the owner.
Justices supporting the ma-
pority opinion are John Dietrich, Diane Klein, Calvin Mott
and James Stover.
Minority    opinion    of   the
court felt the case should be
dismissed because of improper
handling of the case by the
dean of student's office. The
minority opinion pointed out
that the defendant was not
presented a request in writing
to appear before the court, but
was instead contacted b y
phone by the dean's office.

and
President Judson W. Foust is
reported to be favorable to
the proposal. According t o
Foust, the proposal does not
have to go before the Board
of Governors.
Final word on the fate of the
amendment to league by-laws
will be heard at the spring
meeting of the IIAC at Macomb, Illinois on May 18-20.
Foust.said that final arrangements had not been
made on the budget to allow
for the. increased amount of
aid but* he did indicate that
money would be available for •
the program if it is approved
by the league.
Asked if he would favor an
increase in student fees similar to the-program at Northern Illinois to finance the new-
program, Foust said that it
would be against the current
policy to raise, student fees
and specifically earmark the
raise for athletics. At Northern, students voted to increase
their fees five dollars per se-
