established a judicial review subcommittee to re evaluate the university's entire judicial system according to co-chairman ethan felson the subcommittee will attempt to remedy what he called a lack of consistency m the disciplinary process felson said many students currently have a minimal understanding of the penalties that may be imposed for various violations of the university's code of conduct felson also objected to the fact that the names of offenders are listed along with their crimes it's acceptable to post the findings of the disciplinary panel felson said but the naming of names is an un necessary form of ridicule in order to correct this and other deficiencies felson recommended expanding the size of the current disciplinary panel m order to elicit more student input b4vv photo by

an unreasonable amount of time the police report stated kanuga was cited for underage drinking and was treated at st luke's hospital for overconsumption of alcohol police said f lee bailey packs packard with views of law by karen schoonov er we haven't got a perfect system our big problem is that we think m terms of having a single species of criminals defense attorney f lee bailey told a standing-room-only crowd monday night m packard lab auditorium according to bailey our treatment of criminals is similar to that of the doctor who prescribes aspirin for everything the man who lies m wait to kill you is treated just like the man who sees his so-year-old wife suffering m a hospital and shoots her to put her out of her misery he said but not all criminals are alike bailey categorized three basic types of criminals first there are the crazies you can't do anything about them they do things for reasons we can't see feel and can never comprehend one of bailey's most celebrated cases the boston stnmgler involved a real crazy albert desarvo became enraged if you swore m front of a woman and yet he brutally murdered 13 women from age 18 to 80 there was just no pattern bailey continued take john hinkley the court was right he's out of his gourd if you wanted to date jodie foster would you take a shot at reagan the only thing you can do with these people is put them away until they are no longer dangerous the second category includes people who as a result of an argument kill their spouses or another family member m a fit of rage these are normal people who explode bailey said they will never offend again they just lose control there's a zero chance unless you're at their house that one night that they would ever harm you the only way to prevent these people from committing crimes is to have police officers m every kitchen and bedroom m the country all the time they're just unpredictable the third group is sociopaths who have a purpose according to bailey the sociopath is not one to see a mercedes and worry about how he'll be able to afford to buy one he says 1 want one of those now the fact that 1 am unemployed is inconvenient but irrelevant according to bailey sociopaths whose characters are generally formed by the time they are five or six years old make up about 8o percent of all criminals these people plan their crimes and are bright enough to know then are risks to be taken and rewards to be had bailey notes that the current correctional system for this group has been ineffective because they are forced to associate with no one except other criminals they cross pollinate one another a guy learns not to rob a 7-eleven he learns to rob a bank these criminals are motivated by money he suggested that a solution to the problem of crime would be to outlaw large sums of cash no one carries around ssoo m cash with them unless they're planning something illegal with it it's dirty bulky gets you no interest and invites criminals we need to cut off the fuel we need to cut off the green stuff " using drug traffickers as an example bailey said 98 percent of all the money m miami smells like cocaine not everyone is dealing drugs down there there's just no way to prove whose money is whose bailey said if people put back into the american culture what they took out they will become successful and be respected but each person is con tinually invited to step over the tine mw photo by steve switaj tenure subject of protest by elizabeth beezer editor's note this is the last m a three-part series active student protest over tenure decisions has evolved either when a department has failed to recommend a popular instructor for tenure or when the administration has reversed a favorable departmental recommendation although not always suc cessful m changing decisions the protest of any faculty or ad ministrative decision by students has heightened controversy and increased awareness of the tenure issue among other students one of the most recent and most publicized examples of student protest involved the administration's decision to deny tenure to former assistant professor of law james tobak m the spring of 1983 over 1,200 lehigh students signed petitions and a sit-in was held m the university center protesting the decision faculty members also circulated petitions the forum spurred to action by the controversy sent its student representatives to the board of trustees to make a statement on tobak's behalf forum member dan levin said at the time this sit-in and petition signing is contrary to normal lehigh student action and apathy and it would be a shame to let it just die now as students have put m a lot of time and work tobak currently a general practitioner with abraros and verri a providence r.i law firm has filed suit against the university for 825,000 an amount tobak claims is equivalent to 33 years of salary he would have received had he been granted tenure in a recent in terview tobak said he is not seeking reinstatement as a teacher but is now trying to make a career of being a lawyer regarding the impact of protestors on his case tobak said i don't think the ad ministration is at least m my - case receptive to student and faculty input see faculty page 5
