Madden receives probation for violation
CAMPUS CRIME STATISTICS
By Mark Permann
Proctor E. C. Holt issued a formal
probation to Hanszen College senior
Mike Madden for alcohol policy vio-
lations at a February 25 private party.
Holt's letter, dated March 22, to
Madden said, "At your request, I
have agreed to exercise jurisdiction
and, because your violation of regu-
lations was inadvertent, I hereby
impose the following relatively light
penalty: you are issued a formal pro-
bation warning."
The letter said any future viola-
tion of university regulations by
Madden would subject him to disci-
plinary action or suspension, de-
pending on the circumstances.
The letter stated, "On February
25, you [Madden] held what you
considered to be a private party at
Hanszen College, but which was
advertised campus wide and to
which all Rice people were invited."
Holt said there were students
consuming alcohol in the stairwells,
considered public areas under the
alcohol policy. He also noted alcohol
consumption past 2:15 a.m. occurred
in violation of state law, and the party
did not have the prior permission of
the Proctor, the College Master, and
the Office of Student Activities.
When asked about his decision,
Holt replied, "Every student is en-
titled to privacy in these matters."
ERA march
includes
Rice senior
Saxton to present
pro-choice petition
in Washington D.C.
with NOW
By Amy Wassenich
Senior Claire Saxton will repre-
sent the Rice community Sunday,
April 9 in Washington, D.C. at the
M-arch for Women's Equality/
Women's Lives to rally support for
the Equal Rights Amendment,
which was reintroduced by the
United States Congress this year.
Saxton will travel with a delega-
tion from the Houston Area Chapter
National Organization for Women
and will present a petition of signa-
tures from Rice students and staff
endorsing "women's safe and legal
access to abortion."
Current cases before the Su-
preme Court threaten to overturn
Roe vs. Wade, the ruling which legal-
ized abortion in 1973.
Because of President George
Bush's express vocal opposition to
legalized abortion, the NOW added
the abortion issue to the march's
docket.
The march's coordinators expect
1 (K).OOO participants for the march
and other events.
Saxton remarked, "I believe that
many Americans are pro-choice, but
I also know the majority of Ameri-
cans are complacent."
Saxton stressed that the time to
show support for women's rights to
"reproductive freedom" is now, be-
fore they are revoked.
The petition will offer a voice: for
what Saxton called the "sizeable
number of the community who are
pro-choice" and support legal abor-
tion.
Saxton said she does not repre-
sent the Rice Women's Alliance, a
non-partisan group in which she is
active, on this issue.
Anyone wishing to sign the peti-
tion can do so at 404 Jones South, or
in Valhalla Thursday, April 6 from 8
to 10 p.m.
Madden said he felt Holt acted
fairly. "He asked if I wanted an om-
budsman, and he gave me all my
options. I just took it [the proctor's
penalty] because it was easier than
fighting it."
Madden said Holt was more con-
siderate after talking with Master of
Hanszen College Peter Waldman.
Copies of the letter were sent to
Waldman, President George Rupp,
Vice President of Student Affairs
Ronald Stebbings, and University
Court Chairman Bill Barrett. The
probationary action will not appear in
Madden's official records.
