Emphasizes ‘Discredit Clause’

Legislature met November 30,
to discuss proposed changes inthe
driving rule and the application of
the ‘*‘discredit clause’? to the ex-
tended -men-in-the-rooms hours.
The new driving rule, subject to
approval of the Trustees » will read
as follows;

“Every. student with a legal
state license may drive while at
college. Students wishing to keep
cars must park them outside the
specified areas, and must register
with the Executive Board. before
bringing the car to school. At the
tim ime of registration, a student must
provide the following information:

1. Written approval from parent

or guardian.

2. Complete insurance for car
and driver.

3. A -precise location of a

permanent.parking space.

Stickers must be displayed on the
rear window of the car. No cars
may be parked on campus. If re-
turning late in the evening, a girl
may leave her car on the campus,
but. must remove it by 8:30 the
following morning. Requests for
special permission to keep a car
within the designated area must
come before the Executive Board.
The Board reserves the right to
refuse permission if information
is incomplete or to revoke the
privilege if the rule is not: being
respected.’?

After .a unanimous Vote, Presi-
dent ‘Emily. Bardack announced that

- this ruling would become effective

second semester. All requests will
be heard ‘two weeks before the end

- of first semester. They may be

submitted now.

cussion on the *‘discredit clause,’’

Asst.Atty.General
Will Lecture Here
About Civil Rights

This Monday evening, December
14, Burke Marshall, Assistant At-
torney General‘in charge of civil

_rights, will speak at Bryn Mawr.

He plans to speak ‘‘as informally
as possible’’ about the development
and future of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, Because of his position,
Mr. Marshall is possibly the one
man most responsible for how the
Civil Rights Act will be enforced:
He is also responsible for en-
forcing civil rights measures
which became law years ago. Mr.

Marshall’s department in the Jus-
tice . Department has brought
several court suits to. remove
discriminatory barriers to Negro
voting in the South, and is bre-
paring other cases,

Mr. Marshall is the author, of
_a recently published book, FED-
ERALISM AND CIVIL RIGHTS,
in which he attempts to explain
‘what the government can and can
not do in enforcing civil rights.

Mr. Marshall was appointed to
‘his present position in 1961. He is
a graduate of Phillips Exeter Aca-
demy:and Yale, ‘and received a
law degree from Yale in 1951.

that the direct line between the
clause and the liberalization. of the

men-in-the-rooms ruling should

be emphasized. Instead of making
additional note of it in the Self-
Gov rules, délegates ‘decided to
allow the individual halls to make,
the point clear. The ‘‘discredit
clause’? states: :

“Any action which brings un-
favorable notice to a student and
thus lowers the prestige of the
College, which damages its: repu-
tation in the public’s eye, or which
results in the demoralization of
the Self-Government system, is
considered as discreditable to the
College.’

It was pointed out that the re-
sponsibility for reporting in-
fringements is the same here as
for any other part of the. honor

Self Gov. Revises Driving Rule, Undergrad Encourages Berkeley —

To Continue Protest Against Ban

By Erica Hahn

Monday, December 7, Undergrad
tackled the problem of taking a
stand on the recent political ban
and ensuing demonstrations at the
Berkeley campus of the University
of California,

The ‘most important problem
facing the meeting was an un-
tangling of the issues at stake.
The only clear issue is a lack of
student-adminisStration communi-
cations. At Bryn Mawr it has fre-
quently. been complained by stu-
dents that there is no way to reach
the adminstration with complaints.

At Berkeley the problem is mul-
tiplied many times by the size of
the campus, the fact the admini-
stration is the same for all of the
University of California campuses,
and the lack of a student organi-

The most -immediate ‘question

is that of the correctness of the

administration’s behaviot in the:

present situation. Phere has been
until November 20, a University
ban against ‘‘illegal’’ political ac-
tivity. In October the campus began
enforcing this rule.

The resulting demonstrations

the right of the administration to
declare any political activity
illegal, especially since the Cali-
fornia court system has not de-
cided this question.

Furthermore, Governor Brown
of California sent in the state
police to end the sit-in, a matter
for campus police. And since
these students have been arrested
by state police, they claim they
should not be tried by campus
authorities, as is happening, but

in state courts.

A majority of Undergrad doubted
the administration’s right to de-

establish some sort of perma-
