January 18,1995 6 Campus Extras Honor Council wraps it up for '94 contributed by Kristen TyvoU The honor council was busy dur ing the fall semester hearing cases and helping students understand the new fine system. Many of the cases that the honor council heard involved fines for missed hall meetings. Students are ex cused from hall meetings if they have call or are working at a steady job. Occasional child care is not consid ered steady work. Because extenuat ing circumstances may arise, students are allowed to appeal their fines to the honor council. Appeals must be sub mitted in writing within 24 hours and should be sent to Lori Miller, the solici tor general. The honor council heard a total of fourteen cases last semester. The honor council treats each case and each set of circumstances as unique. The idea that a case is unique means that the honor council looks carefully at the evidence presented and takes disciplinary ac tion based on the accused’s own set of circumstances. In each case the honor council determines whether evidence is “clear and convincing.” After carefully examining the evi dence, honor council members assign a penalty based on the accused’s in tent, the gravity of the case, and the accused’s cooperation with the solici tor general and support counselor. Consequently, different penalties are often given for the same violation. The following violations were committed and the following penalties were lev ied: 1) The honor council heard three cases of procedural violations of the male visitation policy and levied the penalty of 10 hours of community ser vice. 2) In another procedural violation of the male visitation policy, the honor council levied a penalty of a warning through the spring 1995 semester. 3) In another case involving a vio lation of the male visitation policy, the honor council decided that the stu dent should complete 50 hours of com munity service and be placed on pro bation through the spring 1995 semes ter. 4) In two other casesofprocedural violations of the male visitation policy, the honor council devised a penalty of 10 hours community service and a warning through the spring 1995 se mester. 5) In a case in which a student did not pay her fine for missing a hall meeting, the honor council decided that the student should pay her fine and publici2e the 3 upcoming fresh men hall meetings. 6) In three cases involving the appeals of an automatic $ 15 fine for a missed hall meeting, the honor coun cil accepted the appeals. 7) In two cases involving the appeals of an automatic $ 15 fine for a missed hall meeting, the honor coun cil denied the appeal and the fines were paid. 8) In a case in which a $15 fine was paid late and no appeal was made to the honor council, the honor coun cil levied the penalty of a warning through the spring 1995 semester.

Staley lecturer addresses holocaust In this dramatization, Bonhoeffer addresses the prob lems of the church in Germany. He has much to say regarding the church’s inordinate much to say regarding the church’s inordinate concern for its own security at the expense of doing the work of God in the midst of oppression and human need. The pastor-pris oner also chaUenges the typical expressions of contemportay Christian piety. He forces his au dience to struggle with him re garding the nature and expres sion of Christian faithfulness in the context of horrifying injus tice. One of Bonhoeffer’s most im portant contributions to theology and to our understanding of contemporary discipleship came as a result of his experiences as a prisoner of the Ge stapo from April, 1943, until his death by hanging on April 9, 1945. As a prisoner, he learned what it meant to view life, history, and the interpreta tion of scripture from what he termed, “the view from below, form the per spective of the outcast, the suspects, the maltreated, the powerless, the oppressed, the riveled-in short, form the perspective off those who suffer.” Bonhoeffer reveals his struggle of the soul as he speaks forthrightly about his doubts and his questions of faith. His humanity is manifested in his con fessions of stuggles with powerless ness, loneliness and fear. The au dience sees a fellow pilgrim who is filled with deep gratitude for the joy and challenge of a life of faith and commitment. Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s testi mony in word and deed contin ues to influence people al over the world. His witness has drawn resounding praise from numer ous leading theologians and phi losophers alike. Dietrich’s close friend and biographer, Eberhard Bethge, said of Bonhoeffer, “When he was silenced for good at age 39, he began to speak more loudly than ever before.” Comedy Nite with Al Staggs!
