Seven students w e r e arrested. They are: -Brett Bursey and Bill McCabe, charged with assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly con .duct and trespass; -Don Koplen, c h a r g e d with two counts of assault and battery ;:on a police officer, disorderly con duct and trespass; -Fran Elliott, L a r r y Hama pale, Juan A. Ramon and Terry Cobb, charged with trespass and disorderly conduct. Bond for the latter four was set at the maximum-$100 per count or $200 per person. Says Pres They, too, seemen impressed at the number of young perAons on hand. The youthful turnout was "very impressive" to Hollings, and Wat son said it was "terrific." "They naturally would be inter ested in him; he's interested in idents Ar rffle With No bond was set for Bursey, M Cabe and Koplen because Lexing. ton County Magistrate Wesley W. Waites wanted to get to know the three. "I want to get to see what kind of boys they are," he ex. plained. Only two of the students had posted bond by Sunday night Cobb and Elliott, early Sunday morning. Waites said that the first three would have to be tried in general Sessions court, although the other four would be tried in magistrate's court. South Carolina American Civil Liberties U n i o n President Jan Kraus claimed that Koplen had asked for his orthopedic surgeon but had been turned down. Curry, a spokesman at the jail, said, "He's not complaining. If he needs a doc tor, we'll get him one." Kraus said that some of the ident young peop.l," Wat-;o)n commented. "Even the very y-oung scemed eager to speak to the President. One three-year-old, perched on her father's shoulders, made the most of her chance to speak to him: "I voted for you," she proudly told him. The President smiled. rested i Police other students had "popped" Kop len's dislocated shoulder back into joint, but that it was still swollen. Martin McGregor, a member of the ACLU board, said Bursey was being held in solitary confinement for cursing in seeking a:d f or Koplen. The students wo,re part of a group stopped as they reached tie airport and told th-at they could not have signs on sticks. Tlhw claimed that they left all their sticks at the car, but were again st(opped at the entrance to a spet. tatirs' area vast of the terminal. Bursey said, "They told us we COuldn't, come across. They said, 'Give us your flag; give us your signs.' " One of the students cross,d the road, was stopped by police, and a scuffle broke out, after which the seven were loaded onto a penal bus. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Vol. LIX, No. 53 Columbia, South Carolina, Tuesday, May 6, 1969 Founded 1908 Vice StudeI By FLED MONK News Editor A resolution passed by Studen Senate last week may he the firs step in establishing a court ir which students would be tried bN their peers-student judges. The establishment of such court, according to Student Ilod. Vice President David Eckstrom would transfer discipline powei "from Pendleton to the Russel Hiouse-from the administration tt the students." Eckstrom introduced sever a weeks ago a b:ll which would hav( iet up a trial student court, bu changed it to a resolution for L study committee to pave the way. "There is no real student judi cial system which finctions at th< present time," Eckstron said. I adde< that it is necessary foi st'dents to have a viable studeni judicial system with authori y. Present disciplinary action it decided by the Committee on Dis. cipline, consisting of six facult) members and two students, Perrit Rollins and Sally Zalkin. No suspending action can t taken without reference to th( Coi1mittee, and the committee alsc has jurisdiction over matters in volving minor infractions as stated in student rules and regulations. The women's judicial council and Presid ut Cot the men's judicial council, set up through s t u d e n t governmen' framework, handle cases (if minmr infractions of the disciplinary code, making recommendations to the dean of men and dlean of women. E'ckstrom noted that these coun cils only consider minor cases and that all major cases are considered by the discipline committee. I "The students on the discipline Comiti'tee are adjunct to it," ie said, "and not an essential part of the committee." "A trial student court could be set up so it coild function with the discipline committee." "It is the role of the study committee to set up a responsible trial judicial system, a system which would incorporate the new role of st-ident government and the traditional role of the discip. line1 committee," Eckstrom said. lie added that the discil)0ine co1mmiittve would remain an area where the faculty could keep a foothold. According to the court system proposed by Eckstrom, the student government could hear cases of infractions of University rules. The court would (onsist of five student just ices. The presiding justice would he a)pointed from the law school, two associate staffI Air View Of Pool irt Sy judges would be from the Student -enate and two other associate judges from the stude-nt ody at large. The studit b,)Iody prevident would appoint the judges, with the consent of the senate. Ex-Head Of CIA To Speak Lyman B. Kirkpatrick, former executive director of the Centra!
