UN Youth Study:
UNITED

NATION, N.Y.
(AP)-- A
U.N. study predicts that
before the end of the 1970s the
generation conflict "will assume

proportions not previously ima-- "
gined" and that youth willbegin
to predominate in world affairs.
The
report, the first
detailed review of youth problems
by the United Nations, was made
public Friday. It will be considered next week by the U.N.'s
ember Commission for Social
Development.
The report notes that many
young people today are resorting
to antisocial behavior because of
frustration, but concludes that in
general the world's youth want to
participate in national development.
"What appears to be a problem may actually be development potential," it says.
The youth, defined in the
study as Including those between
12 and 25, already total mo re than
500 million. With the present
rate of increase, the report estimates this figure will rise by 150
million during the next decade.
"With a younger world population," the report says, "it is
not inconceivable that the world
will develop faster and advance
further than ever before. We have
already observed that this is a
new kind of population ready for
80-pag- e

t

hXB

change, open to new ideas, prepared to make sacrifices and take
risks."
The report states that "what is
being done or not being done
for youth, with youth and by
youth" is perhaps the most important yardstick forjudging the
effectiveness of economic and

social development plans in all
countries.
Unless governments of both
developed and developing countries take younger people into full
account, it continues, plans for
economic and social development "are themselves on trial."
It urges that the young not be

dismissed as a "minority group.
Youth's increasing demand to
participate is responsible for the
spreading student revolts, the
study says, citingdemonstrations
in more than 50 countries last
year.

"The younger generation

seems, by and large,'

it says,

"to have lost confidence in the
capacity of the older generation

to guide affairs without some
assistance, and planning from
young people who believe their
views are worth considering."
The report was prepared by
unidentified staff members of the
U.N. secretariat.

Canadian Draft Haven May Be Closing
Special From Canadian
University Press

OTTAWA

(CPS)-Canad-

ian

immigration officials are refusing
landed immigrant status to American armed forces deserters despite an Immigration Department
policy that deserters and draft
evaders are to be treated no differently than other immigrants.
The border discrimination was
disclosed Feb. 8 when five York
University (Toronto) students
were turned away from four separate border crossings after they
impersonated American Air Force
deserters.
The ruse, which kept Immigration Minister Allan
phones busy all day
Monday, clearly showed that border guards were violating two precepts of Canadian immigration
policy.
The student deserters were
Mac-Lachle-

T1TTT1

not treated as normal immigration applicants only two were
permitted to undergo the "point
system test," now standard practice at the border for potential
landed immigrants.
And border officials transmitted the information that they
were "deserters" to their American Immigration counterparts
a practice expressly forbidden
by law.
The five planned their sortie
carefully for two weeks. They
showed up at different border
stations bearing photostats of
identification papers of a legitimate deserter now living in Canada, William John Heintzelman.
They had draft cards, certification of future employment in
Canada, Canadian letters of referencein short, all that would
establish that they were deserters
and that they had sufficient qual

ifications under immigration law
to allow them landed immigrant
status.
None Out Of Five
Not one of them made it over
the border.
All of this despite a statement
in Parliament, July 12, 1967, by
John Monroe, then parliamentary
secretary to the Minister of Immigration, who said "An individual's status with regard to
compulsory military service in his
own country has no bearing upon
his admissibility to Canada,
either as an immigrant or as a
visitor. Nor is he subject to removal from Canada because of
unfulfilled military obligations in
his country of citizenship."
MacLachlen said he took "a
dim view of the impersonation
tactic" used by the students,
but confirmed that his depart- -

teirviiew

ment is investigating why nearly
all deserters were turned away
at the border. He said his department hopes to make it easier
for deserters to get into the country.
The five students charged official directives were the reason
for their rejection.
Not Allowed
The Immigration Department
requires the Canadian border to
inform its American counterpart
of a rejection of immigrant status,
but they are not permitted to explain the circumstances.
All five had destroyed their
American documents before returning to the American side,
but the Americans called them by
the names on the American draft
cards and knew the circumstances
for their return. One, Graham
Muir, was refused his right of
attorney by the Americans.
Muir had earlier been told he
was rejected because "there's a
difference between evaders and
deserters. We're under instructions not to let deserters in."
All were threatened with arrest until they were able to substantiate their claim to being
Canadian citizens. They were
threatened with action by the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
when they returned to Canada.
The border crossings involved
were: Windsor, Queen ston, Niagara Falls, and Buffalo.

Proposed Bill Defines Rights Of Students
Continued from Page One
itics, stating: "A student has the
right to all University student
facilities and services on a fair
and equitable basis. However,
the University may restrict certain facilities and services when
their use would interfere with
normal University operations.
The University may also delineate the purpose for which students may use certain facilities."
In its final section Article I
reads: "A student has the right
to expect the University to exert
its influence both on campus and
in the community to eliminate
discrimination on the basis of
race, religion, color or national
origin.'
Rights In The Classroom
Article II deals with an area
of student rights seldom delineatedthat of the student's
rights in the classroom. It is
divided into four sections:
A. "A student has the right
to be informed in reasonable
detail at the first or second class
meeting about the content of
the course and to expect that the
course will generally correspond
to its official description.
B. "A student has the right
to be informed at the first or
second class meeting about the
standards to be used in evaluating his performance, and to
expect that the grading system
described in the University catalogue will be followed. Whenever factors such as absences or
late papers will be weighed
heavily in determining grades,
a student shall be so informed
at the first or second class meeting.
C. "A student has the right to
take reasoned exception to the
data or views offered in the
classroom without being penalized.
D. "A student has the right
to receive a grade based only
upon a fair and just evaluation
of his performance in a course
as measured by the standards
established by his instructor at
the first or second class meeting.
Grades determined by anything
other than his instructor's good-fait- h
judgment of such performance are improper. Among irrel- -

event considerations are race,
religion, color, national origin,
sex, appearance, political affiliation or activities outside the
classroom."
Right To Privacy
The third article emphasizes
the right of the student "from
unreasonable intrusions into his
privacy and from unreasonable
searches and seizures of his person and property on premises
controlled by the University."
It also calls for a type of
search warrant if a University
official wants to investigate a
student's residence hall room in
the student's absence. The University official must have "written authorization from an official designated by the Dean of
Students for that purpose. The
authorization shall state the particular time and place of the
search and the particular property to be seized."
This section of the article does
not apply to entry into a student's room by "maintenance
and cleaning personnel in the
course of their customary duties,
or by individuals in emergencies
presenting a clear and imminent
danger to life, health, safety or
property."
The article also states the student's right to have his disciplinary, counseling and academic
records kept separate and confidential unless he consents in
writing to have it revealed.
"However, the Dean of Students may disclose the student's
record without his consent if
the national interest, legal compulsion or the safety of people
or property is involved.
"The Dean may also act without the student's consent to have
a notation of expulsion or suspension entered on his academic
record for the time that this disciplinary action would prohibit
the student from registering for
courses."
In the specific area of a student's counseling records, "psychologists in the University
Counseling Center, counselors
in the Office of Student Affairs
and psychiatrists in the Student
Health Service may share information if professional consulta-tatio- n
is advisable. . . . And

they may provide an evaluation
of a student's dean or the dean's
representative."
Right To Learn
to
The fourth article-Ri- ght
Learn
insures the student's
right of free speech, right to invite and hear guest speakers and
right to a free student press.
"A student has the right to
freedom of speech, which includes the right to picket or
demonstrate for a cause, subject
to the restriction that he act in
an orderly and peaceful manner
and in no way interefere with
the proper functioning of the
University."
The section on guest speakers
to the campus coincides with
the University speaker policy
statement approved by the Senate during the fall semester.
And on freedom of the press
the Bill of Rights says: " A student has the right to expect a
student newspaper that is free
to deal openly, fearlessly and
responsibly with issues of interest and importance to the
academic community. He also
may expect that the newspaper
will adhere to generally accepted canons of journalism, such
as the avoidance of libel, indecency, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity and the techniques of
harassment and innuendo.

have the right to be protected

Student members of the committee are O. K. Curry, Taft
McKinstry, Winston Miller and
Sheryl Snyder.

This new method of dorm assignments, which will use existing equipment, required the use
of a new housing application
designed to determine a student's preference of roommates,,
dormitories, and rooms.
There are seven major criteria
for dorm assignment listed on the
application. They are age, college major, whether a student
objects to a roommate smoking
or drinking, size of a student's
hometown, the size of his high
school graduating class, and his
religious preference.
No distinctions are to be made
as to a student's race or nationality. King stated that there has
never been a problem in those
areas.
The change will make it possible for a student to know his
dormitory room assignments, his

address, and his telephone number several months before he
moves into the dormitory. The
student will be required under
the new policy to pay a $100
installment fee when he submits
his housing application.
The program is expected to be
in effect by April 1, 1969.

In providing for the insurance

The proposed ombudsman

applications on the earliest possible day, April 1 (April Fool's
Day, no less!), instead of the last

Juul made one of the few sensible speeches of the night when

he brought before everyone's attention the intimidating tactics being used by University administrators connected with the forced housing controversy: Dean Jack Hall,

have their precious degrees endangered.
The key to success will be unity; what
a small price to pay for freedom.
