Code 'Violation' By SDS Probed 12/13/68 No decision has been made as to whether a meeting held Wednesday night by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was in violation of the Code of Student Life, according to Roger D. Augustine, associate dean of students. Augustine said Thursday that he would meet with other University officials to determine whether the SDS meeting had been registered with the Office of Space Assignment. SDS officials said at the meeting that it had been registered, but Augustine said that it had not. The Code states that all functions conducted in University facilities must be registered with the University at least a week in advance. The meeting Wednesday was held in Phillips Hall Auditorium. The meeting was held to demonstrate support for three students charged with violating the code. After the meeting, about 200 SDS members and supporters went to a meeting in the Old Capitol Senate Chamber of the Committee on Student Conduct (CSC), which was held to determine wheter the CSC has jurisdiction in trying the three students. The CSC meeting was adjourned. The committee went into a closed session in another room of Old Capitol while SDS conducted its own meeting in the Senate Chamber.
