Ser.iae tarts TIERNEY Student Suspended For Falsifying Academic Grades A University male student has been indefinitely suspended by the University Discipline Committee for illegally entering the IBM records office and falsifying his own records, according to Com mittee Chairman Coleman Karesh. Indefinite suspension is tanta mount to expulsion. The committee found the stu dent guilty of changing two of his record cards in the records of fice of the administration build ing. The offense occurred on the night of Jan. 25. A double charge was brought against the offender as it was learned he had previously tam pered with the records last spring when he changed three sets of his record cards plus a class roll. The offender declared that no other persons were involved in the violation and no evidence was found by the committee to indi cate collusion in either the illegal entry or in the record changing, Professor Karesh said. An investigation to determine how the student got into the rec ords office is being continued. The offender first told the committee that he entered the office through a door left ajar. He later said that he secured a key to the office from a janitor and had a duplicate made from it. However, he was unable to identify the janitor before the Discipline Committee. As a result of the incident, steps have been taken by Dean of Administration W. H. Patter son to prevent a recurrence of the episode. Patterson said that all the locks of the administration building have been changed and a new rule restricting students' movement in the administration building has been made. Henceforth, no student will be allowed in the building ex cept during the regular hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. In addition, identification cards are b)eing issued to all personnel who work in any University build ing.
