According to this source, who wished to remain anonymous, RAs will be served a probationary notice the first time they do not attend office hours and will be fired after the second time. Dreiser College Residence Hall Director (RHD) Gina Spitzer did not go into details of the firing procedures but did say that "people who do not do their jobs will have their jobs on the line." Residence Life Director Robert Ferrell said that "if someone goes on strike, they must suffer the consequnces of not working." Ferrell added that he made this decision along with Tabler Quad Director the campus air grievances at this meting lest May Padula. Tuesday.

New York - Attorneys of David Berkowitz, the accused "Son of Sam" killer, obtained a federal show cause order yesterday in an effort to block any trial on charges of murdering six persons. "The effect of the press and media coverage of this matter has been to effectively and permanently poison the fountain of justice before it could begin to flow," lawyer Leon Stem said in a 14 page affidavit that also criticized the "connivance of certain public *t officials" to make political hay out of the case. United States District Judge Charles Sifton in Brooklyn directed I the district attorneys of the three counties in which the murders occurred to show why they should not be permanently barred from trying Berkowitz for the so-called .44 caliber killings.

December 9. 1977 STATESMAN Page 22 STATESMAN December 9. 1977 News Analysis Parking Spaces Still Scarce at Stony Brook By ROBERT S. GATSOFF Parking at Stony Brook is grossly inadequate, and according to campus administrators, new multi-levl parking structures - one of which is under construction at the Health Sciences Center (HSC), while two others are still awaiting funding - are needed to alleviate the problem. Resident students, commuters, and faculty and staff members who must find parking spaces for their cas have reported the following difficulties: - Resident students who park their cars in X4o0t surrounding the residential colleges have found it difficult to locate parking spaces, especially on weekdays. Many have turned to parking in faculty lots, risking tickets and towing. - Faculty and staff members parking in Ylots ner the academic buildings in the central campus have often been unable to find parking spaces, especially after 8AM. Some faculty and staff members have blamed the shortage on the large numbers of commuters and resident students using these Y4ots. - Faculty and staff memberswho previously parked In an unofficial 150 space lot behind the Biology Building must now fight for spots in other Y-ots because the unofficial lot is being demolished to make way for a naac·n - Ilk w v Tlf o nltrian midl etrutinn i w-u sutiarlt at.lwaJ..a lu j Alrca rotn;]vu S>[qluur..utD- VVr.»[ ' wgNKI !

"It's ridiculous to consider that the Campus Judiciary can decide on internal Polity matters," Polity President Ishai Bloch said yesterday.

"HERE IS ISRAEL" The major charges against Jackson, according to the November 10 motion made by Polity Secretary Sharyn Wagner, were the a multi-media performance unauthorized amendment of the Polity Senate By-Laws, and what was described as the "heinous" crime of requesting administrative aid in the resolving of internal student government conflicts. Jackson denied all of the charges. 'WED.

HILLEL MEMBERS - $1.00 OTHER STUDENTS - $150 ParkingLots Lacking COMMUNITY - $2.50 (continued from page 3) oftaI those who are entitled to parking spaces can park in the proper area. These measures include prohibition of parking by resident freshmen and sophomores in X-ots by ticketing and towing. Despite these moves, however, faculty members must often still park in north and south P4ots, designed for commuters. These difficulties are typified by Honey Spern, a member of the Traffic Violation Appeals Board. Spern formerly parked in the lot behind the Biology Building, but now that the lot has been closed, she must park in the Administration lot. Spern said thatshe has been able to get a spot because she arrives at around 7:50 AM, but she added that the lot is usually full by 8:30. Spem also said she believed that Public Safety [Security] does not have enough manpower to ticket and tow all the cars parked in spaces reserved for the handicapped - which is Security's first priority - let alone those people parked illegally in faculty-student or resident lots. "If they [students or visitors] park in the Administration lot, chances are they are not going to be ticketed or towed," Spern said. Some people, though, such as Civil Service Employees Association President Al Varrachi believe that the Biology lot which he said was previously used by 60 faculty and 60 staff members should have been preserved until additional parking was secured. "I can understand that the mall is going to beautify the campus," Varrachi said, "but my main concern is that faculty and staff get to work so they can serve the students. They can put malls up all over the place and the campus stilllooks like a mudhole." explained that the pedestrian mall probably sprang from a Siegel 1 recommendation approved by the Parking Policy Committee 2h years ago when he was not the committee's chairman. The recommendation called for the elimination of the Biology lot which is fed by an access road that is connected to a pedestrian walkway. The walkway runs from the academic mall to the Enfineering building. The committee's main concern at that time, according to Siegel, was pedestrian safety. He said that he was surprised to hear that the recommendation was acted upon during this current construction project. When asked if he would have made the same recommendation again, in light of the current parking shortage, Siegel said, "Yes, and here's why. In the first two to three weeks of the semester Security officers were posted at the entrance to all faculty-staff lots and then there were spots available all day long in most of the lots." He added that there are not enough officers to continue this practice,but that spot ticketing and towing would continue.
