Student SENATE
RESPONSIBLE FOR
CRIBBING CASES
Will Be Final Authority for All
Cribbing Cases Unless APP
pealed to Faculty in
Two Days
ADOPT RULES
New System VIII Remove Many
Discrepancies Which Have
Existed Before

Final authority in setting pen
alties for cribbing offenses will
rest with the Student Senate ex-
cept in cases appealed to the
faculty. That condition was
brought about Thursday as a
result of faculty approval given
to a set of accommodations from
a faculty-student committee in
vestigating cribbing conditions
in the institution.
These rules are only temporary
measures being employed to handle
the situation until final recommends
tons are made by this committee re-
garding the entire situation at Mon
tana State college.
The rules as recommended by the
committee and adopted by the faculty
are the following:
1. The Student Senate shall
act as a court or original juris-
dictiOn in cribbing cases and it's
findings shall be considered as
final unless the student in ques-
ton or member of the faculty
shall file an appeal with the
president within two days.
2. Such appeal shall be heard
at a later faculty meeting at
which the Senate shall be repre-
scented.
In the case of allowing two days
for appealing the case, that clause
has been construed to mean that q
member of the faculty will have two
days following the presentation Of
the action of the Senate to the faculty
in which to appeal the case, while the
student involved will have two days
from the time he receives notifica.
ton of the Senate's action. All such
appeals must be made through the
President.
Many discrepancies between the &C.
items Of the Student Senate and The
faculty that have appeared in thu
Spast will be done away with as a re.
suit of these acts. Should a cas-,
be appealed because a faculty mem,
Der OF a student felt they were no
receiving due consideration by tbs
SENATE, the members Of the Senat,
will be allowed to place their finding,
before the faculty and give their rea
sons for making the decision the!
did.
