Under the new rules, mental or physical hazing and “membership in any group or organization not sanctioned by the college” will result in immediate dismissal or sus pension for not less than one semester. The hazing regulation includes the use or possession of a board, “or any other instrument obviously designed for hazing,” room service, and “interference with a student’s use of his free time.” Three offenses will be punished by immediate suspension '♦■“for not less than the remain der of the semester.” They are: 1) Painting o r defacing other college campuses. 2) Direct disobediance of orders or making a false official state ment. 3) Using a car on the campus after the student permit has been revoked. Six more offenses are listed as “punishable by suspension”. They are: 1) Allowing oneself to be hazed or performing personal service. 2) Participation in or promotion of any activity to interrupt the functions of the college or resist the authorities of the college. 3) Drinking or possessing alco holic or intoxicating beyerages on the campus. 4) Having firearms, fireworks, or explosives on the campus. 5) Attending any public place “declared undesirable by the fac ulty or off limits by the military authorities.” 6) Answering for another stu dent at any official roll call. The new regulations also say that punishment for other viola tions of the college regulations, basic policy, or the Texas criminal code “shall be commensurate with the gravity of the offense.” The last part of the new rules says that cadets who violate any part of the basic policy of college regulations will be required to re port to their tactical officer. He can give any punishment ex cept separation from the cadet corps, suspension, or dismissal. The commandant will review the tactical officers decision. Civilian students will be re quired to report to their dormitory counselor, who also can give any punishment except suspension or dismissal. The head of the stu dent affairs department will re view these cases. Offenses warranting suspension or dismissal will go to the com mandant for military students, and the student affairs head for civ ilian students. * Under the college regulations, “suspension” means temporary separation from the college, and “dismissal” means permanent sep aration. Other specific punishments listed are admonition, reprimand, proba tion, restriction, removal from col lege housing, and, for cadets only, demerits and extra duty tours. When a violation of regulations involves damage to property, the student may be charged for re pairs. The revisions in the discipline code were approved by the Aca demic council after recommenda tion by the Executive committee.
