Administrative Section Committee on Student Conduct and Appeals 3:30 p.m., Thursday, October 10, 1963 123 Bascom Hall Present: Kearl, Luberg, Zillman The committee met to consider the case of Moises Teliz-Ortiz, AGR 6, age 31. He had been reported by the Department of Protection and Security for homosexual activity in the Memorial Library men's room. The details of the affair are de- scribed fully in the police reports which are a part of this file. Teliz had been asked to report to Dr. Halleck for an evaluation. Dr. Halleck's evaluation is also attached and reads as follows: "I have had the opportunity to interview Mr. Moises Teliz and to discuss the situation with Professor Kearl who is his Graduate School Dean. I would have some feeling that in view of the eminence of his graduation and departure from this country that we might go slightly beyond our usual practice in avoiding too much exposure for this man. I certainly do not feel that he is likely to be a danger either to himself or to the University com- munity and I do not feel that his problems are such as to represent any serious threats to others in his future academic position." Mr. Teliz was also interviewed by Dean Kearl when it was reported by the Dean of Men that he strenuously objected to a member of his department being informed of his difficulties as he was told was long standing practice for the committee in the case of the graduate student. Numerous consultations were held by members of the committee with other mem- bers of the faculty. Messrs. Luberg and Kearl both spoke informally with Teliz's major professor, John E. Mitchell, in the Department of Plant Pathology. He was asked not to inform Teliz of this contact with him until after Teliz had completed his examinations and his degree was ready to be granted. Teliz had stated that he did not wish to face his faculty with the knowledge that they knew of his de- portment in this incident. Teliz is a married man and a father of four children, a native of Mexico City. The committee agreed that Teliz would be given the decision in his case by Dean Luberg: that he be urged to seek psychiatric assistance not only here but in Mexico City when he returned, and that he be admonished con- cerning his conduct and warned that any repetition of it would in all probability lead to his dismissal from the University. There being nothing further to come before it, the committee adjourned at 4:00 p.m. Theodore W. Zillman: baf October 15, 1963 CC: Dean B. E. Kearl Thy ---
