Matkin alleged the three pledges
were found in violation of a section
of Article 17 of the OU Student
Code, which outlines 25 types of
prohibited conduct. Matkin de-
clined to say which section the
pledges are being charged with, be-
cause that is part of the disciplin-
ary proceedings.
Hazing is one of the sections in
this article, but “neither the frater-
nity nor individuals are being
charged with hazing,” Matkin said
in the statement.
Matkin said 10 to 15 individuals,
“These private firms provide the services on a com-
petitive basis,” Day said. “If you let the government
provide all the services, there’s not much incentive for
efficient service.”
including Beta pledges, Beta mem-
bers and OUPD personnel, were
interviewed during the investiga-
tion. Matkin undertook the investi-
gation because ‘‘we can’t file
charges based on a police report.”
After interviewing the various
people involved in the incident,
Matkin said, “It is my understand-
ing that (Burns) didn’t say it was
hazing (to the Campus Security Of-
ficer filing the report).”
The report filed by OUPD stated
that Burns said he had been a vic-
tim of hazing.

university will send three forms to
each student requesting federal
aid
If the student is a male between
the ages of 18 and 23, he must
mark a box on the form stating he
has registered for selective service.
Students must mark a box stating
they are not required to register if
they are female, a member of the
armed forces, are not yet 18, were-
born before 1960 or are permanent
residents of the Trust Territory of
the Pacific Islands or the Northern
Mariana Islands.
Documentation from the Selec-
tive Service Administration verify-
ing the student’s registration is re-
quired along with the forms If the
student does not have documenta-
tion, the two other attached forms
may be used to request the docu-
mentation from the Selective Ser-
vice Administration.
The forms will be kept in the
student’s academic file. The uni-
versity will not inform the federal
government whether the student
has registered or not. The govern-
ment will not be allowed to look at
the forms in the student’s academic
file, because of privacy laws.
Dennis Cohen, who lead the
march to Banowsky’s office Mon-
ady, said he had hoped Banowsky
‘‘would take a more vigorous
stance against the law
Bob Williams, one of the orga
nizers of the rally, said he was
angrv with the university.
“I am not pleased with the uni-
versity coercing draft resisters,” he
said.
Rex Friend, a member of the
lawyer’s guild who has worked on
several registration resisters’ cases,
said the law was unfair because it
discriminated against students
from lower income brackets.
Anne Turpin, a member of Stu-
dent Congress, said she has read
future items into the agenda cons-
cerning the law. Student Congress
BY SEAN HOCKENS
01 President Bill Banowsky an-
nounced Friday (hat OU would
follow new federal regulations and
require students to fill out a form
stating they have registered with
the Selective Service Administra-
tion before they can receive federal
student aid.
Reading from a prepared state-
ment, Banowsky said the new regu-
lations would take effect July 1,
and unless the law is repealed or
declared unconstitutional in the
courts, the university would en-
force it.

He suggested using young people in the summer to
do some city jobs.
“These people can do things for a lower cost than
full-time city employees,” he said.
Day advocates recycling for the landfill situation in
Norman.
“This would initially have a higher cost, but if we
have to spend more for cleaner air, it’s worth it in the
long run,” he said.
He also said certain street repairs should be under-
taken on a competitive basis, but he said more money
should be spent on the upkeep of the present roads.
“A lot of roads we have in Norman are really bad,”
Day said. “We need to concentrate on repaving
them.”
Day said proposed bike paths are unnecessary. He
suggested painting lines on the roads and designating
them as bikepaths.
“We’re all vehicles and going the same place, there’s
no need to have separate bike paths,” he said.
Day opposes the comprehensive plan being used for
Norman growth.
“It’s wrong to organize, plan or structure any kind
of city growth," Day said “Houston has no compre-
hensive plan and it’s growing well. I don’t see why
Norman can’t either. I’m opposed to the city council
making decisions on the growth of the city.”
Day advocates establishing a citizen review board to
regulate OU expansion If OU wanted to expand, they
would go to this board instead of using eminent do-
main to gain land, he said This board could be
comprised of students, Norman businessmen and city
officials among others.
Day said police protection in i college town is more
liberal because of the atmosphere. He said Norman
needs to focus on violent crimes, such as rape, theft
and burglary.
Students asked Banowsky if the
university would assist registration
resisters by providing alternate
funding. Banowsky said the uni-
versity would not provide alternate
funding from state or private
sources because of the limited na-
ture of these funds.
Students also asked Banow sky if
the university would file suit
against the law or file “a friend of
court” motion in the Minnesota
trial A “friend of court motion”
would allow the university to file
documents providing information
for the court to consider in the
case.
Banowsky said the university
would not file a separate suit
against the law He said Stanley
Ward, chief legal counsel for the
university, checked to see if the
university could file a “friend of
court,” but the case was already
past the point w here such a motion
could be filed.
Banowsky said it was up to the
courts to decide on the morality of
the law
As the press conference drew to
a close, Banowsky urged students
to go ahead and register and if a
draft was called, students could
then decide whether to file as a
consciencious objector or not
"We don’t want students to lose
their financial aid,” Banowsky
said.

Burton Day, 821 Russell Circle, has entered the
mayoral race emphasizing less government involve-
ment and more private contracting for providing city
services.
Samuel Chapman, 2421 Hollywood Ave., Albert
Thorstenberg, 443 Sundown Drive, Gregory Ciarbour,
729 Highland Parkway, and Steve Thrower, 1708 Abe
Martin Drive, are the other candidates.
The preliminary race is set for March 15. The gener-
al election will be April 12.
“1 want to limit the present practice of the govern-
ment providing all services,” Day said. “The private
sector can provide these services at a lower cost. The
campaign is an educational process, we want people to
know where we’re coming from and how our plans can
be implemented.”
Day cited two examples of contracting to the private
sector Browning Farris, Inc. providing cheaper gar-
bage collection to Shawnee, and fire protection in
Scottsdale, Ariz. provided by Metro, Inc.

dent financial aid programs sign a
statement saying they have regis-
tered with the Selective Service Ad-
