monday, july 12, 1971 iowa city, iowa 52240 10 cents a copy Discipline Sanctions For Three Students University of Iowa President Willard L. Boyd has imposed disciplinary sanctions against three students found guilty of violating University and Board of Regents conduct rules in incidents during the 1970-71 academic year. The students and sanctions are: Miss Konnie Kindle, N3, Bettendorf, disciplinary probation through Jan. 21, 1972; Robert T. Yeager, A3, Charles City, disciplinary probation through Jan. 21, 1972; and Francis E. Snyder, G. Newton, disciplinary probation through June, 1972. The three were told that further violations during their probationary periods would result in full-year suspensions for the two men and suspension for the rest of the 1971-72 year for Miss Kindle. The students were involved in separate incidents. Yeager was charged with violations occurring during a demonstration against the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency recruiter at Iowa Memorial Union in December, 1970. Miss Kindle was charged in connection with an incident involving an ROTC cadet drill in March, and Snyder in connection with the April 11 takeover of the Language House by daycare center advocates. A hearing was held for the three in June before former Iowa Supreme Court Justice Theodore G. Garfield of Ames, University hearing officer. Boyd imposed the sanctions recommended by Garfield after reviewing the facts of the case, the findings and recommendations of Garfield and a brief submitted on behalf of Miss Kindle. The December incident now has resulted in one suspension and 10 probations, as well as suspension of the campus chapter of Students for a Democratic Society. The March 4 incident has resulted in one suspension and one probation, and the April 11 incident has resulted in eight probations. University officials have also prepared disciplinary charges against 13 students and one non-student accused of violating rules during demonstrations in May.
