'nge -4: - 1550197 ' see if it's in agreement andlor to get the flack if he does something it dislikes. So I think we need to get representatives oriented to the living units. That, of course, wouldn't adequately protect the concerns of the commuter student. And talking about the commuter students, we are dealing with roughly a third of our student population. We need to get the S.G.A. so that it's more representative of this group. I also don't think it is practical to have a town- meeting sort of thing because that just doesn't work too well, particularly if you can only get 20'MJ out for a vote. Shadow: On the question of finances, do you think that students have a right to be fully aware of the col- lege financing? Dr. Elliott: It depends on what you mean by fully aware. Now, are you entitled to know how much each one of your professors is getting? No, I don't think you are. I think that a man's salary is his own private do- main. There's a certain element of privacy here to which he's entitled, just as I think students are entitled to an element of privacy, too. We don't broadcast what your college board scores are, what your rank in class is. I think that any budget is subject to all kinds of second guessing. For instance, do we give the Music Depart- ment a Moog Synthesizer or do we give the Biology Department an x-ray machine or do we give the Library S5000 to build a collection in economic history. In each case we are talking about S5000. Which one gets it? You've only got 35000. And you know our hindsight is awfully good on this. Shadow: Who makes those decisions? Dr. Elliott: I'm not ducking the question when I say there is no one person. The way it happens is this: Each one of these departments is going to make a recom- mendation and they are going to support it. The Music Department will say we need a Moog Synthesizer be- cause, and it will then spell-out all of the reasons. The Biology Department will say we need an X-ray machine because and they will spell it all out. Mr. Epstein will do the same for the Library. From there it goes to the appropriate dean. The dean, in the case of the Music and the Biology Department, is in the position where he can say that it seems at this stage of this College's history it is more important that we get the X-ray machine. So, he has taken two con- flicting goals here and come up with an order or prior- ity. And, really, I can't expect the Biology Department to sit down with the Music Department and say, Oh, you're right. You really do need it worse than we do, because both of them know that they need. Shadow: Getting back to Vietnam, what do you think about categorizing people as hawks or doves. ? Dr. Elliott: This bothers me for a number of reasons. l think it is much too simplistic in the first place. You may find an occasional pure hawk or pure dove, but there is an enormous amount of inbreeding between the two. The reason I am disturbed about the definition is that those labeled as hawks or doves will make the most idiotic statements and then anyone else in that category is presumed to support that statement and be put in that category which, in many cases, is unfair. I got involved with this in a University of Wisconsin seminar. We spent a whole year trying to find a pure lib- eral in 19th century Europe and we never found, to our satisfaction, a liberal that fulfilled the definition we had devised. A similar seminar, which I wasn't in, spent two years trying to find a true conservative and the only one that stood up to their scrutiny was Metternich. Shadow: But don't you think you could categorize any of our political leaders into either one of those categories? Dr. Elliott: Only to a certain extent. For instance, take a man who is genuinely concerned with ending the war but who says it will take 12-18 months to get the troops out, is he a hawk or a dove? Or, might you not say that the man who advocated dumping 20 atom bombs on North Vietnam was the greatest dove of all because he would end the war right away? Of course I am being a bit absurd, but l'm just trying to show that it is most dif- ficult to clearly define issues all of the time. Shadow: Then you wouldn't classify yourself as a hawk or dove? Dr. Elliott: No, I really don't classify myself that way on this issue because I am not satisfied that I have all the answers, or that I'm even sure precisely what the defini- tions are supposed to mean. Shadow: Back to the College itself, will it ever become a university? Dr. Elliott: Oh, I think it will. But we have state educa- tion laws to comply with first. They state that an in- stitution must offer three Doctor of Philosophy degrees before a school can become a university. Really, I think we are just as much a university as half the universities in the nation but because of the state laws we are still a college. Shadow: Does the College plan to expand its gradu- ate program to include those three PhD's in the near future? Dr. Elliott: That is a hard question to answer. It takes money to expand, money which at this point we do not have. A year from now we might have it. I can't really say. Shadow: Thank you, or. Elliott. S9 11

'ag ' --w , -. it 'N . Y I 'i by Dr. Robert R. Ross Assoc. Prof of Law The constitution of the United States cloaks every American with certain rights. A confrontation, triggered by an encounter with law enforcement authorities, should signal in the mind of the subject of such ques- tioning the following: 1. I have the right not to answer questions. 2. I have the right not to sign anything. 3. I have the right to a lawyer, if arrested. When questioned by the police as a third party wit- ness Cyou are not personally involvedj the general rule is to cooperate and assist authorities. But suppose the questions involve you personally you need only tell the officer your name and address. If it sounds like the offi- cer thinks you did something against the law, ask him: Am I under arrest? If he says yes, ask him: What for? If you're under arrest, you do not have to answer any more questions. Whatever you tell the policeman could be held against you. WATCH WHAT YOU SAY! If he says, No, you are not under arrest, you may ask May I go? If he says NO to that, you ARE under arrest, and do not have to answer any more questions. lf you are placed under arrest do not resist. Fighting with a policeman is a serious crime. A policeman does not have the right to search you unless he has a search warrant, or he has good reason to believe you have committed a crime or are about to commit a crime. But even if he searches you when you do not think he has the right, do not try to stop him. You may tell him: I do not give you permission to search me. lf a policeman stops you while you are driving a car, he has a right to see your driver's license and registra- tion. If he searches the car without a warrant and with- out your permission, remember his badge number or the police car number. lf a policeman asks to come into your room on campus or your home you do not have to let him in. If the officer has a search warrant, ask for a copy of it. Make sure the warrant talks about your precise prem- ises. lf the officer insists on coming in without a warrant do not try to stop him. State emphatically, I do not give permission for you to search. If officers have a warrant for your premises the col- lege authorities must allow them in. But without a war- rant the college administration has no right to say it is alright to search your premises without your permission. If you are arrested ask what the charge is. Regardless of the number of questions that may be asked of you, you need give only your name and address. Ask for a lawyer and do not answer questions until the lawyer comes. The police may only let you make one completed tele- phone call. If you do not have the right change, or you do not know the lawyer's number, ask the police to make change for you and to give you a telephone book. If they do not want to, ask and keep asking until they do. Remember you need not answer questions or sign anything until the lawyer is there. U.S. Law says that you should be taken before a judge right away to find out what the changes against you are and whether there is enough evidence to hold you. At this hearing-an arraignment-the judge will tell you what your bail is. Ask to have a lawyer for this hearing. A If the police hold you in jail and do not take you be- fore the judge without delay, you may remind them of your right to a prompt hearing. You have a right to meet privately with your lawyer. What you tell him is just between you and him. It cannot be used against you. So, remember, whatever you want to tell-tell your lawyer and no one else. You also have the right to have your lawyer with you during questioning. It is important to be informed on these basics. In the event that the situation involves a specific exception to a right such as a search warrant requirement, the bur- den would be on the enforcement authorities to show this, therefore, regardless of your estimate as to the cir- cumstances you should fully assert all of the rights mentioned. They apply to everyone, regardless of race, color, religion or age. Know them, button your coat of rights. S9 13
