Saturday, Nov. 19, at 1 PM & 2 PM. BY STEVE KNOPPER Both the faculty and student govemmenth have passed a proposal to reconvene the panel that writes student conduct rules. The faculty's Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs voted unanimously yesterday to reconvene the University Council, a nine•member committee of students, faculty, and adminismuors. The Michigan Swdent Assembly, during its meeting Iasi week, passed the proposal which will now head to the University's esecuthe ollions for consideration SACUA chair Beth Reed, a professor of social work said she hoped the council could meet by early December, and that SACUA wand start interviewing faculty to Sane on the Nast this week. MSA officials said last week they hope to appoint members by the middle of the month, so the council will be prepared to meet before December. The council's future has been in doubt kind of double standard corn- mon to the political left and old-fashioned Jew baiting?' The editorial read, in part: The. censure of Kahane is a cynical maneuver on the part of Israel, because Zionism — the official ideology , of the state — is from its inception a racist construct." "A lot of Jewish students are sick and tired of this kind of written assault," Endelman says, "and they're doing something about it?' Last week, flyers went up around campus calling for a response to the Daily and its editorials. According to Zalesin, about 35 students -- including members of other minority groups — met to ad- dress concerns provoked by the Daily generally and the Nov. 1 editorial specifically. "As a group, we decided that our short-term goal is to educate the campus," says Zalesin, who helped coor- dinate the meeting. Some representatives from the Daily were in attendance. Zalesin and others pointed out at the meeting that say- ing Zionism is racist strips the Jewish people of a na- tionality and self- determination that is granted to other national groups. "Some people can't separate Israeli policy and hatred of Jews," says Zalesin. They're using the Daily to promote their own agenda." Zalesin and others think it's necessary to counteract such anti-Semitism. "We want (the editorial staff) to be held • accountable," Zalesin says. "Our long-term goal can only be to change the Daily by infiltrating it." "I know there's been a pro- blem," admits Rebecca Blumenstein, the Daily's editor-in-chief. "I'm very con- cerned about the allegations?' Blumenstein says the pro- cess of determining editorial subjects and content at the Daily is run on a democratic 'There has trust betw dents, and t last few ye, that rejuver Iacob Lascu Meredith Dinkel Norm Stalzer get together.- this trust betw administration. like taste that.

On. On basis. If a majority of staff members attending editorial board meetings decide to voice a certain editorial posi- tion, that's the opinion that will run. "Admittedly, the pro- Palestinian students have been more energized, more active," she says. The slings and arrows pointed to the Daily aren't on- ly coming from outside: There's been considerable tension within the paper itself. "It's schizophrenic," says Endelman. Many — even those who write for the paper — would agree. Some staffers have left the paper in disgust. Others have switched from one section of the paper to another where's there's less contentiousness. Events came to a head on Nov. 5 when new staff posi- tions — including those for the opinion page — were elected and a new editorial policy was adopted. Whether these actions will change the direction of the paper remains to be seen. Blumenstein, whose tenure as editor-in-chief ends in February, says she hopes to meet soon with concerned students to help resolve some of the misunderstandings that have surfaced recently. "I tried to tell people that the Daily is open to all students," she says.
