Paul F. Dietzel resigned
Friday as vice president of
University Relations, a job
especially created for him by the
Board of Trustees Dec. 13.
In a prepared statement
released at 5 p.m. Friday, Dietzel
said simply, "I submit my
resignation to the University of
South Carolina."
Dietzel's resignation marked
the second such action taken by
him in the 1974-1975 school year.
On Sept. 21, he resigned as head
football coach. The vice
presidency position was created
for Dietzel after the Board of
Trustees refused to hire him as
athletic director.
Dietzel accepted the job Jan. 15
and was scheduled to begin work
today.
During the weekend Dietzel
could not be reached for com
ment on his resignation.
USC President Dr. William H.
Patterson said, "I was happy

have an effect on the hiring of a

T. Eston Marchant, Board
chairman, said of Dietzel, "I
appreciate all he has done for the
Athletic Department at
Carolina."
Marchant was unsure about the
future of the vice presidency for

saying, "That's Dr. Patterson's
job, not mine."
In his prepared statement,
Dietzel talked of .the success of
the Athletic Department, during
his nine years at USC.

other more serious drug charges.
Often, students charged with
drug offenses are evicted before
a preliminary hearing, to
determine if the case will go to
court, is held.
For instance, a student who
was arrested Jan. 17 on charges
of selling marijuana was in
formed last Thursday he. would
be evicted in 48 hours. The date
for the preliminary hearing for
the student has not been deter
mined as yet.
This student, who asked that he
remain anonymous, is currently
appealing his eviction. His ap
peal will go before President
Willianx H. Patterson on
Tuesday, and he is allowed to
keep his dormitory room until
Patterson makes a decision.
According to the policy hand
book, "possession with intent to
distribute" marijuana is basis for
considering the student to be an
"undesirable tenant." The.
handbook later states that un
desirable tenants can .be evicted
without refund.
The student interviewed by The
Gamecock said he will base his
appeal on the fact that leaving
the dormitory without a refund
would cause a financial hardship
and force him to leave school
altogether.
The policy handbook says that,
unless the arrested student lives
in University-owned housing, the
University will take no
disciplinary action until after
"the case has been disposed of
within the civil courts."
Witten said the policy of
evicting students before they are
found guilty in court neither
interferes with the court case nor
is an attempt by the University to
prejudge the student.
