Senate Urges UI Not To Punish War Protesters

By BETSY BECKER 
The Student Senate reaffirmed Tuesday night an earlier resolution recommending that the University take no action against the 86 students arrested in the Nov. 1 antiwar demonstration directed against Marine Corps recruiters at the Union. 
   The Senate, meeting in the Union, also voted that Campus Security officials should not be deputized or allowed to carry arms. 
   The resolution concerning the demonstrators directed that the senate's officers and a few senators should meet with Pres. Howard R. Bowen and M. L. Huit, dean of students to protest the fact that the senate's former recommendation, passed Nov. 7, was ignored. Some of the demonstrators were placed on social probation by Huit's office Monday. 
   The resolution, which received only one negative vote, also said that the senate would contemplate further action if the meeting should prove fruitless. Some senators abstained from voting because they are members of the Committee on Student Conduct and may be concerned with demonstrators' cases in that capacity 

Committee Says No
The resolution to recommend not to deputize security officers was brought out of committee at the meeting. It was introduced several weeks ago by Sen. Bill Scott. Sen. Gary Goldstein, the committee chairman, said the committee recommended that the bill not be passed and that the senate ask that the Campus Security officers be deputized and carry arms. 
   Sen. Tim Hyde, also a committee member said he did not think the Campus Security officers should carry arms and that since the committee has met he had decided that he was against deputization. 
   Student Body Pres. John T. Pelton sub[?] a four part amendment to the resolution which Scott accepted. 
   The senate accepted Pelton's recommendations that Campus Security police not be permanently deputized and that they not carry side arms. They rejected his recommendation that the campus police be deputized in " times of crisis or potential crisis. " They did not vote on the fourth part of the amendment because it concerned keeping the officers under University control if they were deputized and was not considered pertinent to the resolution as passed/ 

Pelton Seeks Permission
Pelton said he would request that Bowen allow him to attend the Board of Regents meeting Dc. 14-16 to represent the students. Pelton said he would appeal to the head of the board if Bowen refused him permission.
   The following were appointed to fill Town Men vacancies on the senate: Charles L. Diegel, B4, Nora Springs; Paul A. Eisner, B2, Highland Park, Ill., and David P. Hellwege, B3 Boone. 
   Betsy Becker, A3, LeMars, was recommended for a vacancy on the Board of Trustees of Student Publications, Inc. The board's approval is necessary to finalize her appointment.
