UK, along with other

a budget state lawmakers

The cut means UK must

Opposition: Students say dropped classes result from
poor teaching, scheduling and missing information

By Rebecca Neal
STAFF wnnrii

A heated debate between Provost Mike Nietzel and stu-
dents over a proposed drop fee at the Student Center Tuesday
drew both cheers and angry accusations from students.

“Before you try to raise a fee. let's look at why students are
dropping and the quality of the instruction." said Terri Seay.
an elementary education sophomore. to a round of applause.

Nietzel said that wasn’t sufficient to explain why 8.300
classes were dropped during the fall 2002 semester.

“We still have the majority of students staying in classes

with poor instruction." he said.

The version of the fee Nietzel proposed to the University
Senate Monday would charge students 20 percent of the credit
hour cost of the class being dropped. Nietzel said too many stu-
dents are signing up for more classes than they intend to keep
and that this behavior costs the university money in instructor

salaries.

Committee updates
student conduct code

Confusion: Code's convoluted language and procedures
befuddles even those who are seeking to change it

By Rebecca Neal
STAFF WRITER

Not even the people who
administer the student code
can understand it.

In fact. one administrator
called the Student Rights and
Responsibilities code “a con-
voluted mess."

A committee is reviewing
the code to find ways to get
rid of its legalistic language
and unclear rules and make it
easier to understand.

“If you tried to diagram
the steps you'd go through for
a certain procedure. it's a con-
voluted mess." said Patricia
Terrell. vice president for stu-
dent affairs and chair of the
committee.

She said even the com-
mittee formed to review the
code had trouble understand-
ing the rules and procedures.

“We actually had to sit
down and map it out our
selves. It's not easy to follow."
she said.

A change in the code's
wording is long overdue. said
Tony Blanton. associate dean
of students. The code hasn‘t
been significantly revised
since the 19608. he said.

“We've decided there
Were some issues with the
code we'd like to look at now."
he said.

He said the language
used in the code is “legalese”
and unnecessary for a univer-
sity setting.

“You are found guilty un
der the rules. not found re
sponsible the student disc1~
plinary system is not a court

__ *1-

of law." he said.

A revised draft of the
code should offer a clearer
outline of student rights. he
said. “If you read though the
processes for a case now. it's
not clear what your rights as
a student are." Blanton said.

Three student representa-
tives will be on the subcom-
mittee creating a draft. Ter-
rell said. The students are
Michelle Mendelsberg. the
president of Resident Student
Council: Noah Friend. the
vice president of RSC: and
Joe Ruschell. the vice presi-
dent of Student Government.

All three student mem-
bers said they hadn’t been
told about their status on the
committee. "I'm sure we‘re on
it. but we just haven't been no
tified yet." Mendelsberg said.

Blanton said the commit-
tee wants student opinions on
the new version of the code.
He said they plan to put a
draft online for feedback by
the end of March.

The draft must be ap
proved by the Board of
Trustees to become official.
Blanton said he hopes to have
a drafi ready for the board by
the summer to take effect for
the fall semester.

Blanton said the goal of
the revision is to make things
easier for students. not create
more confusing rules. “We
don‘t want to be punitive or
adversarial here." he said

45-day reprieve for Iraq proposed

UNITED NATIONS Britain and
Canada took the lead Tuesday in trying to
break the diplomatic impasse over how
much time Saddam Hussein should be giv-
en to prove he has disposed of his weapons
of mass destruction. Six countries that rep-
resent the key to a US. victory in the Secti-
rity Council proposed a 45-day reprieve for
Iraq. The Bush administration said it was
willing to listen but wants a far shorter
deadline. It said a vote will come by the end
of this week. regardless. Tuesday was sup-
posed to be showdown day. with a Security
Council vote on an British-American reso-
lution setting a March 17 deadline for disar-
mament. But the allies backed off. Without
the nine votes they need. and with France
and Russia pledging vetoes. they pulled
their plan off the table.

Pelvises probed without consent

PHILADELPHIA Some of the na-
tion's leading medical schools have aban-
doned a little-known. decades-old practice
of letting students perform pelvic exams on
women without their consent while they
are under anesthesia. The schools are now
asking permission first. Previously. these
institutions had routinely brought in stu~
dents sometimes as many as three or
four W to conduct pelvic exams on uncon~
scious women just before their gynecologi-
cal surgeries and often without their con-
sent. Changes in that practice have taken
place over the past five years after com-
plaints from students who felt the exams
without consent were unethical. “My prob-
lem was that if they found out about it. they
might be really upset. and it was really only
being done for my benefit." said Dr Ari Sil-
ver-Isenstadt. who refused to examine anes-
thetized women as a student at the Univer»
sity of Pennsylvania. “I felt like I would be
violating their trust.“ he said.

tions by restaurants around the country
protesting French opposition to the admin-
istration’s Iraq war plans. Chairman of the
House Administration Committee Rep. Bob
Ney, whose panel oversees House opera-
tions. ordered the menu changes. Officials
at the French Embassy pointed out that
french fries actually come from Belgium.
“We are at a very serious moment dealing
with very serious issues and we are not fo-
cusing on the name you give to potatoes,“

‘mother of all bombs'

Mixed results: While bomb's test called success,
results of diplomatic efforts still unclear

ASSOCIAIID PRESS

WASHINGTON In a tlashy debut for its biggest non-
nuclear bomb. the Air Force on Tuesday dropped a 21,000-
pound behemoth onto a test range in Florida. hoping the
test would rattle newes in Iraq as well.

The bomb test was declared a success. but movement on
other fronts in the lT.S.rled push toward war was murkier.

At the l'nited Nations, the United States and Britain
faced the prospect of defeat for their resolution giving Iraq
until Monday to disarm or be invaded. and it appeared they
might agree to a short extension of the deadline.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld suggested that
even the participation of America‘s closest ally. Britain. in
the combat phase of disarming Iraq was in doubt. Later he
appeared to back away front that idea.

"I lntil we know what the resolution is (going to say), we
won‘t know the answer as to what their role will be." Rums-
feld said of the British military. which is deploying 45.000
troops to the Gulf.

“And to the extent they are able to participate — in the
event that the president decides to use force — that would
obviously be welcomed." he added. “To the extent they’re
not. there are workarounds and they would not be involved,
at least in that phase of it."

Asked whether that meant the United States was con-
sidering going to war without Britain. he said. “That is an
issue that the president will be addressing in the days
ahead. one would assume.“

Later. after reports that British officials were surprised
by the comments. Rumsfeld's office issued a written state-
ment saying his main point in the news conference was that
obtaining a second UN. Security Council resolution “is im-
portant to the United Kingdom" and that both countries
were working to achieve it.

"In the event that a decision to use force is made, we
have every reason to believe there will be a significant mili-
tary contribution from the United Kingdom.“ Rumsfeld's
statement said.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair faces enormous pub-
lic opposition to his stance in support of Bush.

In London. Blair‘s office told The Associated Press:
“This does not change anything. We are still working for a
second resolution. We are not at a state of military combat
but there has been complete cooperation between the United
Kingdom and the United States throughout on the military
planning side."

The US. commander who would lead a war against
Iraq. Gen. Tommy Franks. met in Amman. Jordan, with
King Abdullah II on Tuesday. Franks” office was releasing
few details about his schedule. although officials said he was .
headed to Afghanistan to visit us. troops and then to the
Persian Gulf. His last stop will be his Gulf command post at
Camp As Sayliyah. Qatar

Over Iraq. two American U-2 surveillance planes flying
on behalf of UN. weapons inspectors aborted their mis-
sions after Iraq raised objections. There were conflicting re
ports on the circumstances. An Iraqi official described the
incident as a “technical mistake" by the UN inspectors.
