'lnciteful' poster ban rescinded by Margaret A.
Du~is
After realizing that censoring of posted material is indeed unconstitutional Auraria student af.Jairs officials have rescinded their temporary ban on material they considered "inciteful." The officials, according to Deanna Aday, assistant to UCD's dean of student affairs, also ).ealized the ban penalized students who were not involved in the violent incidents that had pro-
mpted the censorship. The ban resulted from recent clashes between pro-Khomeini students and members of the CCD Moslem Student Society (MSS), but was applied to all postings which student affairs considered "inciteful." Student affairs officials initiated the ban following the most recent shirmishes between the MSS and some pro-Khomeini students. On March 4, in the lobby of the
East Classroom Building, some pro-Khomeini students took issue with a MSS poster which called for the overthrow of the Khomeini' s Islamic Republic. A fight ensued and Auraria Public Safety (APS) broke up the disturbance. Later that day student affairs officials decided to review the posting policy and issue a temporary ban on "inciteful" postings. Though they issued the ban student affairs officials were unable
Misuse of CCD funds charged by Michael Gilmore
CCD faculty members have won a small victory in their two-;rear struggle to force an investigation into a former CCD president's illegal transference of funds from instructional to administrative areas. _.., At its meeting March 11, the State Board of Community Colleges began an investigation into charges that CCD is "top heavy" with administrators. According to Keith Dallas, a ~
CCD faculty spokesman, Robert Lahti improperly used approximately $750,000 from Resident Instructional funding for use in administrative areas. Lahti also allowed the faculty to decrease to a ratio of 2.3 instructors per administrator, Dallas claims. "Were out of balance," chairman of the State Board of Community Colleges, Angelo Daurio, said. "And we have a responsibility to study the problem ~" Faculty members have also accused the present administration
· of continuing the improper use of funding. CCD President G. Owen Smith has confirmed the misuse of at least $218,000 by Lahti under previous guidelines. Present misuse of funds is hard to determine, according to CCD-A Vice President Meyer Titus, as "those guidelines are no longer in existence. "How and where funds are earmarked at present is not quite clear," Titus said. continued on page I+
to define "inciteful." Aday then, relying on her own judgement, removed all posters in the East Classroom Building which she believed to be "inciteful." According to Aday, the chief officers of student affairs, "having time to sleep on the problem," met with various AHEC officials, student government chairmen, and Skip Rhone, coordinator of international students' services, to review policies on posted material and redefine the problem. "We decided to not look at the poster as the problem, but look at the students who are involved in the violence as a problem," Aday said. In case of violent disturbances, student affairs will first call APS to deal with the offenders. In addition, Aday said students who are repeatedly involved in the disturbances could be subject to disciplinary action, · such as suspension. Bulletin board items are subject to previous posting policies which deal with physical elements (size, allotted time for posting), rather continued on page 3
