SDS Plans Rally Prior to Hearing By CSC for Sies 
12/10/68
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) voted Monday night to protest the Committee on Student Conduct hearing of Jerry Sies, A4, Iowa City, by holding a rally before the hearing and speaking "to our own people" at the hearing itself. 
The CSC is holding the hearing at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Senate Chamber of Old Capitol to hear charges brought against Sies by the Office of Student Affairs for five alleged violations of the Code of Student Life.
Ken Wessels, A4, Dyersville and Dan Cheeseman, A4, Elkader, were charged along with Sies with violation of the Code because of their participation in what the administration called an "illegal rally" to oppose the Code on Nov. 1.
SDS was also charged with code violations in connection with the rally, which the group sponsored.
Wessels said SDS members would "be there at the hearing and talk, but not disrupt."
Prior to the hearing, at 6 p.m., SDS will hold a rally at Philips Hall to protest the trial and, once again, to oppose the Code. Wessels said this rally would also serve to raise money to students arrested in the recent demonstrations at San Francisco State College.
Members of the CSC were meeting when The Daily Iowan went to press and were unavailable for comment on the SDS plans.
