January 15, 1953 RECEIVED JAN 19 1953 Student Personnel Office Mr. Albert D. Hamman Director of Protection & Security Service Building, University of Wisconsin Madison, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Hamman: On December 3, 1952 a meeting was held in this office to discuss and determine the procedure to be followed in determining what type of cases should be referred to the District Attorney, as well as which type should be left to the discretion of the Univer- sity officials in handling. You will recall that yourself, Dean Zillman of the University, Mr. Day of my office, and the writer attended this conference. As a result of this meeting and for the reasons which were brought out at that time, you are hereby advised that all violations of state criminal statutes brought to the attention of your office are to be referred to this office with the exception of the following categories. (1) Cases of petty larceny involving thefts of currency or property under the value of $20.00. (2) Conduct violations of students and other university personnel which probably can be classified as university disciplin- ary problems. (3) Petting and other bisexual conduct cases involving no penetration where university students are involved. In morals cases, i.e., suspected sodomy and the like, the facts should first be discussed with this office and a decision will be made as to how the particular offense in question is to be handled, viz., by the university or by the District Attorney's office. Finally, in all cases handled by this office which involve university personnel, either students, faculty or other employees, we will furnish you and the O. S. A. complete report, including final decisions in respect to each case. If you have any further questions pertaining to the fore- going, please do not hesitate to advise me. VERY TRULY YOURS, cc Dean Zillman RWB:mr RICHARD W. BARDWELL District Attorney ---
