Sies Charged With Violating Student Code
Jerry Sies, A4, Iowa City, has been charged by the Office os Student Affairs with violation of the new Code of Student life. 
Sies, who is the first student known to be charged under the controversial new code, told The Daily Iowan Wednesday that he had received a letter telling him he was charged with violating sections 3, 5, 6, 7 and 15 of the Code. The letter was given to him by M. L. Huit, dean of students, Sies said. 
All of the charges have to do with several protests that have been held here this fall, Sies said. Some of the rallies were held to protest the presence of Dow Chemical Company recruiters and Marine recruiters on campus. One of the rallies was held to protest the new code, under which Sies is now charged.
Sies will now be tried by the Committee on Student Conduct (CSC), the highest campus court, which tries violations that are considered by the Office of Student Affairs to be too serious for a lower court.
James Curtis, professor os speech pathology and chairman of the CSC, said that he was notified Wednesday of the Charges and that he would decide next week when to hold the trial.
Huit could not be reached for comment.
