Although only a small
percentage of student
disciplinary cases is heard
by Campus Court each year,
the court serves a useful
purpose, according to Frank
Ardaiolo, associate dean of
student affairs.
Ardaiolo said he handles
almost all disciplinary
cases, but he doesn't think
Campus Court should be
abolished. "I think you need
an avenue for peer review ?
fellow students judge peer
educational values," he said.
Ardaiolo said he handles 97
to 99 percent of about 250
disciplinary cases each
year. Campus Court, which
reviews student disciplinary
violations, has met only once
this semester.
LARRY KELLNER,
Student Government
president, said, "We must
offer some opportunity to be
judged by peers."
Campus Court also hears
cases arising from student
election disputes, student
impeachment proceedings
and problems with Student
Government regulations.
"We have to have it for
election disputes," Kellner
Panel re:
From Staff Reports
A conflicting commitment
prompted the House
Education Committee to
reschedule USC's appeal of a
state Commission on Higher
Education ruling Monday
afternoon.
The committee also
agreed to hold another
session at which the public
and representatives of other
colleges and universities will
have a chance to be heard.
USC is protesting a
commission decision
requiring it to phase out twoyear
occupational degree
programs in the College of
General Studies.
The House panel set aside
four hours to hear both sides
of the dispute. USC will
present its case beginning at
1 p.m. and the commission
will reply at 3:15 p.m.
Rebuttal time will be
provided and more time can
be granted if needed.
Hearings will be in Room 109

said. "Almost every year,
uui oi du canaiaaies or so,
somebody's going to yell
'foul.' For example, Campus
Court ruled a new election
last year."
Campus Court Justice
George Bravante agreed
Campus Court should not be
abolished. He said, "The
school doesn't lose any
money on it, and the option's
there if a student wants it. It
serves a purpose when
needed."

viuiauun cumpiaims are
channeled through the
Division of Student Affairs.
A student who allegedly
violates a regulation
receives a letter from that
office explaining the charges
against him and informing
him of the pre hearing interview
date.
Ardaiolo conducts all these
interviews and calls them
"information-giving sessions,'where
students' rights
are explained and options for
resolving cases are
reviewed.
The student , has four
hearing options, Ardaiolo
explained. He can plead
guilty and proceed through
schedules
of the Solomon Blatt Office
Building.
USC and commission
representatives will be
allowed to attend both
sessions, but only committee
members will be allowed to
ask questions.
The committee had
originally scheduled to hear
USC Monday afternoon and
the commission Tuesday
morning.
ine cnange in nearing
dates came because a
special committee working
on a higher education
desegregation plan is
scheduled to meet Tuesday
morning. The special
committee involves members
of all three boards
playing a part in the USC
appeal. The
education -committees
of the House and the
Senate will rule on the USC
protest, testing the recently

action through
Ardaiolo.
A student can also plead
not guilty and go through
either Campus Court or Vice
President for Student Affairs
James B. Campbell.
ARDAIOLO explained that
most students plead guilty
because they prefer
judgment on a one-to-one
basis rather than dealing
with Campus Court. "I think
they're less threatened in an
office facing one pjrson than
in a group," he said.
Kellner said, "An awful lot
of effort goes into using the
system, yet with the few
cases that do come through
Campus Court each year,
students feel it's the most
equitable alternative."
If a student chooses
Campus Court as his hearing
alternative, he goes before a
court composed of four
students, two faculty
members and one administrator.
At a Campus
Court hearing, Attorney
General Tony Turner or
Assistant Attorney General
Brian Dumas presents the

The Senate Education
Committee voted last week
to delay hearing the case
until Wednesday, two days
after the 18-member House
panel meets. Neither
committee is required to
make a decision on the case
immediately after the
hearings.
Only one of the committees
has to override the
commission's order for USC
to win the appeal.
Gov. Dick Riley, the S.C.
League of Women Voters
and the state Chamber of
Commerce recently have
endorsed the commission's
position.
