DOS to discipline runners in Nude Olympics
By Dan Schwandner
Asst. Managing Editor
Purdue officials said Wednesday that students who violated
regulations during the Cary Quadrangle Nude Olympics held Tuesday
evening will be disciplined through the Dean of Student's office and in
some cases throught the residence hall system, according to a University
news release.
Stephen Akers, associate executive dean of students, said in the news
release students identified during the even will be notified in writing
that disciplinary procedures are being instituted against them.
"There are four levels of discipline," he said. "Probation, probated
suspension (person is allowed to remain a student; however, if they are
involved in any other violation of University regulations, all it would
take is a finding of guilt and student would be suspended), suspension
from the University (termination of student status for a definite period
of time) and expulsion from the University (student status is terminated
and person may not return to the University)."
"Every violation will be handled on a case-by-case basis," Akers said.
According to the news release, Dale Daniels, assistant director of
student programs and counseling, said students who live in University
residence halls may also be disciplined through residence halls
administration, with penalties ranging up to suspension from the halls.
"Any individual identified as breaking the law or violating regulations
will be subject to full disciplinary procedures," Purdue President Steven
Beering said in the news release. "I cannot, and the University cannot
condone indecent or illegal behavior. Any student who chooses to engage
in those kinds of activities can expect to be held responsible," he says.
An estimated 60 runners, along with about 2,000 spectators, were
present in Cary's Spitzer Court, despite the University administration's
ban on the event.
As students began gathering in Spitzer Court late Tuesday, residence
hall counselors, Purdue police and members of the University administration,
were on hand to discourage would-be runners and to idenify those who
violated regulations, but no attempt was made to stop the event by force,
the news release said.
According to Beering, "I consider our students adults, and they will
be treated as adults. That meas they are responsible for their actions.
For the vast majority that is no problem. I'm disappointed that a few of
them can't handle that responsibility."
According to part five, section three C, number six in the book of
University Regulations, "A student may appeal the decision of the dean's
office to the Campus Appeals Board (CAB). An appeal may be initiated by
filing notice of appeal with the CAB through the dean's office or with the
chairman of the CAB. Such an appeal must be filed within seven days of
the date on the letter from the dean's office containing the decision,
and the appeal must be personally signed by the student."

Apparently, Purdue has fallen under the rule of a tyrant. This unfortunate state of affairs has become an epidemic over the last six years. Roger Rose
