IUP Can't Suspend Drug Suspects By TIM KINTER Staff Writer The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Board of Trustees, turning from the grim reality of IUP's financial situation, was with a myriad of other problems, including another chapter, perhaps the last, in the continuing dilemma over what the university can do about student drug violators. The board, meeting for its first quarterly session of the academic year, was told, in essence, that the university is powerless to keep a student who has been charged with a drug offense from attending classes. IUP President Dr. William Hassler informed the board that the state Deputy Attorney General has advised him that the university can take no action against a student who has been indicted for a crime by a grand jury. Dr.

Hassler expressed concern for the "judicious protection of our students" from the influence of drug offenders during a meeting of the board July 20. He was referring to cases involving several IUP students who have been indicted on various drug violations, but who remain enrolled at IUP. The Deputy Attorney General's advice came in response to a query from Dr. Hassler whether the IUP judicial board, which is made up of students and faculty, has the power to suspend students on the basis of grand jury indictments against them. At the July 20 meeting of the trustees, Dr.

Hassler received authorization to seek the opinion of the state Attorney General concerning the matter. Dr. Hassler indicated that the Deputy Attorney General also said that the "university should not obtain copies of the indictment for any purpose other than showing that an indictment has been rendered." In view of the opinion, Dr. Hassler recommended that the proposal that he presented at the July 20 meeting for consideration be dropped. Discussing the future of John Sutton Hall, Hassler stated he had appointed a committee representing various segments of the university community, including representatives of the borough, to probe all ways in which the 100-year-old structure can be renovated rather than demolished.

It has been estimated that it will cost approximately $4 million to renovate the building. Dr. Hassler pointed out that it has become clear that the cost is far beyond the scope of IUP Alumni Association funds. In a final effort to raise money for the project, Dr. Hassler said he had appointed Dr.

James K. Stoner, former dean of the School of Business, to head a committee representing trustees, faculty, administration, students, alumni and civic leaders "to explore every way in which sufficient funds might be raised to retain this historic building and convert it into a useful Turning to campus development and construction, it was reported that the proposed -Zink Physical Education Building was bid on Sept. 27 but the bids were $802,000 over the amount allocated for the project. It was reported that if additional funds cannot be obtained, the building will be redesigned and reduced in size. At any rate, a delay of several months is expected.

It was also reported that the Graduate Building, Stright Hall, has now proceeded through final plan submission and is ready for bid. However, a bid date has not been established, as one property remains to be purchased. The Secondary Education Building, Stouffer Hall, should be ready for bid in January, but plans for a proposed second dining hall, funded. in November 1970, remain frozen in the Office of Administration, it was revealed. The trustees were informed of efforts to set up a Prevention Center Health Service in the community for university students in cooperation with the Family Planning Service of Indiana County.

Dr. Hassler said he met with James L. Reitz, director of Family Planning Service, last July 20, and the following conclusions were reached: The Family Planning Service hopes to begin operation early in the fall and Dr. Hassler has asked that the university be no- Latrobe Youth Hospitalized After Mishap A 15-year-old Latrobe youth croft is in fair condition today at Latrobe Area Hospital, and two other motorists received outpatient treatment injuries in for sustained in the five wrecks vestigated by area police during the past 24 hours.

The board approved the implementation of the document "Affirmative Action Recommendations for Pennsylvania State-Owned Institutions of Higher Education" as prepared by the state Human Relations Commissions. The document and the university's clarifying response set forth various recommendations that should be used in recruitment of students, enrollment, admission practices, student housing, formulation of organizations and activities for students and curriculum.

In another matter, Dr. Hassler told the board that he has also been in contact with the state Attorney General's Office concerning the legality of the Homophile Club, a club for homosexuals that has recently been formed at IUP. He said that the Attorney General's Office informed him that the First Amendment guarantees the rights of all persons to join clubs of their choice, but doesn't protect persons involved in illegal activities growing out of the clubs. Therefore, as long as no laws are broken the university cannot prosecute persons for joining the club. The board approved the following administrative changes and appointments: The appointment of Richard S.

Knab as interim chairman of the Music Department, from Sept. 15t to Dec. 15, 1973; the appointment of Dr. Herbert Isar as acting chairman of the Department of Romance and Classical Languages for the first semester of the 1973-74 academic year; the appointment of Gerald C. Penta as chairman of the Foundations of Education Department.

The board approved the following administrative resignations and retirements: The retirement of Dr. James R. Green as associate dean of humanities, effective Sept. 1, 1973; the retirement of H.C. McCormick as business manager, effective Aug.

31; the resignation of Thomas Hassler as assistant director of the computer center; the appointment of Bruce Beaumont to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Hassler at the computer center; the appointment of Charles Faust as acting associate dean of humanities, to fill the vacancy created by Dr. Green's retirement. In his report on IUP projects and activities, Dr. Hassler indicated that local contracts totaling $18,000 coupled with $10,000 from the Student Government Association, has enabled the university to replace three tennis courts on Maple Street.

Three additional courts will be constructed as soon as land acquisition is complete, he said. Dr. Hassler added funds for additional courts and playing fields are included in the 1974-75 budget request, pending state approval. He also indicated that the university is working on a solution to the traffic problem on Route 286 (Oakland Avenue) running through the campus. He indicated that a committee has been formed to study the problem with representatives of IUP.

Indiana Borough, White Township, the state Department of Transportation and the Indiana County Planning Office. The committee will attempt to arrive at short and long-range solutions to the congestion problems along the route. Dr. Hassler reported that there are 10,859 students enrolled for the fall term at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, including 10.133 at the main campus, 501 at the Armstrong campus at Kittanning and 225 students at the Punxsutawney campus. He also informed the trustees that the State Board of College and University Directors will be meeting at lUP on Thursday.

Oct. 18. The gathering will begin with a public meeting from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Sprowls Hall.

The next meeting of the IUP Board of Trustees. the second quarterly meeting, will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, in the board room at Clark Hall. Miners End Armagh Strike ARMAGH, Pa.

(AP) Some 200 striking coal miners were expected to return to their jobs Sunday night at the Florence Mining Black Lick Portal, a union spokesman said.

Democrats On Record In Support Of Day Care HARRISBURG (AP) Marjority Democrats pushed through a bill appropriating an additional $6.4 million for day care last week, which was slashed in the budget accepted last July by Gov. Shapp. But the action was a case of the Democrats getting on record for day care, for it was expected the bill would go nowhere in the House, where majority Republicans are refusing to act on any spending bill until the whole budget and tax relief picture is settled.

There has been little if any movement on that front recently. Meanwhile, Demoare trying to paint the GOP as being against popular programs such as day care. It wasn't the first time either chamber has passed bills knowing they were short-lived. House Republicans got it started earlier this year when they passed a tax relief package weeks before a budget was passed. The died in the Senate, but Republicans, perhaps successfully, gained an image of tax cutters.

They sponsored an amendment that would have cut the $6.4 million appropriation to $4 million, arguing current day care facilities were going begging. The amendment fell. 3817. But on final vote the bill passed 47-0, with all the Republicans who argued the money wasn't needed voting for final passage. croft car was set at $400.

Building Ordinance Proposed MICHAEL M. (SLING- AVONMORE The Avonmore Borough Planning Commission Thursday adopted and sent to council an ordinance to regulate sub-division in the borough. If passed by council, the ordinance will regulate building in the borough on a local level.

The ordinance includes such things as paving.

"I decided to try to beat the system out of $1 million." said the executive, who uses the pseudonym Mike Lewis.

And through systematic stock frauds. he bilked investors out of $3 million before getting caught. Lewis' subsequent years in prison convinced him that current penal programs do little to rehabilitate inmates. On the contrary, he says. the stigma of being an ex-con forces many released prisoners back into crime to support themselves.
