THE HEARING was to be conducted by an ad hoc committee com-mittee on obscenity appointed by Berkeley Chancellor Martin Meyerson. The hearing was to precede any university discipline. The injunction comes following a complaint by the defense attorney for the six students charge by the university that the university was not allowing him enough time to prepare a defense. de-fense. THERE HAVE been several spokesmen calling for the "immediate "im-mediate dismissall" of the students, who were arrested after carrying placards bearing a four-letter word and after using the word in public over a loudspeaker system. An off-campus magazine, "Spider," also involved in the question of alleged obscenity, was sold this week despite a university uni-versity ban prohibiting the sale of the magazine on campus. NO ACTION was taken, however, against those selling the magazine. Another issue which has raised considerable debate on the Berkeley campus is Chancellor Meyerson's proposal that the ASUC membership become voluntary rather than compulsory. ALTHOUGH Meyerson said there were several reasons for the move, the only one he cited was an ASUC decision to take a stand on recent racial violence in Selma, Alabama. Such a stand on an off-campus issue is forbidden by the University of California Policies Relating to Students and Student Organizations, popularly known as the KERR Directives. ASUC VICE President Jerry Goldstein said that if membership mem-bership is made voluntary "a substantial portion of the ASUC programming would have to be scrapped." But no specific action has yet been taken on Meyerson's proposal. |
