the multi-level halls and two for the
flat-level halls. Benefits for RAs
include a single room without
being charged extra, phone and a
salary.
Another campus issue con
cerned the controversial issue of
the availability of condoms for
students. David Southwood-Smith
noted that the school could be
liable for AIDS and to insure "safe
sex" condoms should be provided
anonomously and for free, if
possible. Machines on campus
was a definite possibility, he said.
Lisa Rich informed the student
txidy that the current Saltire was
invalid and the 1986-87 version is
now the official Saltire.
Rich, the chair of the handbook
committee, said that the last time
official changes were made by the
committee was in thel 986-87
Saltire. She also said that this
year's Saltire would be completed
by the third week in March.
Julie Lunquist made the long
awaited announcement that kegs
would be permitted for 'Ganza
under strict guidelines. These
guidelines include beer consump
tion in clear cups and only allow
able on Granville Beach, no other
alcohol, cooler or mugs to be
permitted, and valid forms of I.D.
such as military, passport and
driver’s license are needed. A
shuttle going only to area motels
will be provided and an off-duty
policeperson will be monitoring the
roadblock to be constnjcted
around campus.
The kegs are on a trial basis in
order to provide and control the
consumption of alcohol, Lunquist
said.
Kegs will also be provided on
Alumni Weekend. The alcohol
policy will be reviewed after each
event.
Attorney General Bobby
Musengwa read pari of a letter
that he believed it proved that
Dean Greer was going beyond her
power in the judicial system.
"We stepped on each others
toes," Musengwa said of the
I
I
handling of cases. He said the
pre-hearings with the Dean were
causing problems.
The judicial code states that
only the attorney general has the
power to charge students with
Honor Code violations. The
attorney general or a student life
administrator can charge a student
with social violations and college
policy violations.
Musengwa said the Dean's
power is limited to cases that
would affect the student's mental
health, minor cases that require
only a discussion with the Dean
and cases so severe that suspen
sion is required by the Dean in
order to protect others from
potential danger.
The attorney general also urged
students to know their rights and
not to "co-operate with the Dean
on violating your rights."
The judicial code states that
students can choose between a
meeting with the dean or a public
or private hearing with a jury of
their peers. If the student is sum-
monded by the dean, they have a
right to be represented by the
student defense counsel.
Student Defense Counsel Lisa
Rich summarized the proper pro
cedure of the judicial system. The
Dean receives the security report
and passes it on to the attorney
general and his/her committee for
investigation. If they decide to
press charges, the student in
question and the defense counsel
will receive letters stating the
accused's rights.
SA Vice-President Wendy
Phillips spoke of the plight of
commuter students and the
disabled.
"Commuter students want to be
informed and be a part of the
student tx)dy," she said. She
added that those students should
be "given the option of being
involved."
Phillips also informed the
audience of the committee headed
by Paul Ford. Special concern
Student Defense Counsel Lisa Rich Informed the students at the forum of their rights.

Phillips also said that the
Freedom Village trailers would be
"phased out" and two suites in
Granville will be modified for
adapted living. About 1/3 of
Granville's displaced population
will not be able to move back in '
because of this decision, she said.
Pete Rich suggested strategies
to work with the administration. He
advised students to be responsible
and to use the system.
"The system (judicial) works,
show the administration that it
does by using it," Rich said.
He noted that when voicing
concerns using slander hurts the
arguments.
"Our arguments are not weak
that they need slanderous re
marks," he said.
Rich also mentioned that the
student administration will be
collecting this year's invalid
Saltires to be recycled and profits
will be given to the St. Andrews
Press. The 1988-89 Saltire can
be obtained in the Student Life
Office.
After the presentations, the floor
was opened to the student body
for questions and comments.
Cajetan Chukwulozie com
mented, "The administration
believes we can not do anything
for ourselves. We are not fools.
We have intelligence and integ
rity."
He also remarked on the judicial
procedure, "If you get in trouble,
don't wait for a letter. Call Bobby
or Lisa (attorney general and
student defense counsel)."
Todd Tyner spoke about the
AIDS policy developed by Dr.
White that was passed by the
faculty and sent to the Student Life
Committee for approval.
"The administration seems
reluctant to pass this as a rule. It is
