LXXVIII, No. 123 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY' 22, 1968 SEVEN CENTS a TEN PAGES Presidential Panel Splits on U' By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN As the student power movement of November 1966 fizzled out1 amidst cold weather and final ex- aminations, President Harlan Hatcher annonunced the forma- tion of a tri-partite commission to define the role of the student in the University decision-making process.L Tomorrow, after over d year of study, the commission will issue a draft of its final report. But agreement on the very basic issue of where authority for student discipline resides has yet to be reached. Commission members are ex- pected to recommend that the Of- fice of Student Affairs be re-i defined as essentially a service organization without Judicial powers. Assuming the OSA's rule- making power would be a tri- partite Campus Council ..omposed of students, faculty and adminis- trators, . which would make all University-wide regulations. However, disagreement over what kind of body should be granted the power to hear cases arising under the rules made by the Campus Council may force the commission to issue a minor- ity and majority report. "There's an issue, and it's ratlh- er a basic ideological issue, as to whether the individual schools and colleges should be involved in discipline," explains Dean Ste- phen Spurr of the graduate school. The ideological gap among members of the commission is so great that when an attempt to write a basic policy statement was made a few months ago, a con- sensus could not be reache:l. None- theless, the commission has g'ne3 ahead with concrete proposals for the creation of a mechanism to enforce rules made by Campus Council. Student members of the m mission have proposed that a Joint University Committee (JUC) composed of seven students andj three regularly non-voting faculty members be given the responsibil- ity for enforcing Unive':s ty-wide rules. But some faculty and admin- istrators on the commission see problems with this proposal. Spurr says that he is "a little bit more of a pragmatist" than the students. He contends the in- terests of the public, expressed by the Regents, and (f the faculty, as well as students, must be consid- ered in the decision-making pro- cess. Commission chairman Inis Claude of the political science de-I partment hopes that an "option for the college or school not to join" in the JUC plan will be in- cluded in the final report of the commission. 1iClaude points out two Gbjec- tions to making participation in JUC compulsory. He wants to ex- empt "particularly a professional school with professional standards to enforce." In addition, he says "students may feel that their peers j are students from their own col- lege rather than students in gen-{ eral ." Student Government Council President Bruce Kahn calls the; professional school argument "a sham." He says, "In suspension or expulsion the colleges have the authorityanyway." Kahn says the basic problem is that faculty members are "really up-tight about their status." However, the commission is not divided along strictly student- faculty lines. Dean James Robert- son of the Residential College fa- vors giving JUC full jower to en- force University-wide rules. "There needs to be a Univer- sity rule-making group of stu- dents, faculty and administrators for conduct in non-academic areas," Robertson says. "Then it makes sense to have a University1 judiciary to Manage these iues." Robertson says JUC ;hould be given "a full chanice to demon- strate its competence" before con- sideration is given to letting the colleges have separate judicial bodies. Prof. Maurice Sinnott of the engineering school sees the split of the commission as very basic. "If you can't agree that the facul- ty has more rights (than stu- dents) there are going to be dis- agreements," he says. Sinnott points to the fact that; "several colleges currently havel judiciaries" and concludes that the proposal which would make JUC the sole judge of University- wide regulations "just won't sell." Spurr agrees. "Some of the pro- fessional schools will have strong feelings" about their ethical codes, he says. "We are all agreed that; the explicit ethical and moral codes can best be enforced by the individual schools and colleges." The commission is scheduled to Judiciary make its final recommendations "Hopefully. on an academic in- Tuesday night.

By LEE HORNSTEIN Graduate Assemblypassed a resolution last night calling for a Day of Deliberation March 19 and a boycott of classes March 20 to protest the war and the draft. The resolution calls for a 24 hour period of lectures, work- shops, and study groups, in addition to a suspension of formal classes for all students March 20. Roy Ashmall, author of the proposal and former presi- dent of GA, called the Day of Deliberation "A day of involve- ment for students and faculty alike." The resolution passed by a 20-5 vote states, "If classes are not suspended during that period, the Assembly strongly urges students and faculty to refrain from attendance at these classes." The Day of Deliberation will begin March 19 at 4 p.m. with a speech in Hill Auditor- - ium by Yale Chaplain William Sloan Coffin.

One of the men, Robert .Ball, grad. was dragged from the others by military police and put in a separate cell after he had "ver- bally badgered" them, according to Hyman. "He was asking ques- tions like, 'Why were we locked up just because we had our opin- ions?' All five men, with about twen- ty-five others, had reported to the induction center to take their military physicals. When they ar- rived at the military base, they were ordered to "give up the pa- pers." said Hyman. Later,dabout "ten to twelve MP's" took the men to military police headquarters, where they again ref.used to let go of their leaflets. It was then that they were "roughed up." "We were there to pass out leaflets." Hyman said.

Second Riot The riot at Alcorn, located deep in rural southwest Mississippi, was the second involving gunfire at a Negro college in the past two weeks. Classes were closed at South Carolina State College at Orange- burg on Feb. 9 after three young Negroes were killed the night be- fore during racial violence.

'GREAT AND RELEVANT': Memorial Praises Malcolm X By AVIVA KEMPNER Yesterday was Malcolm X Day. TheAfro-American Liberation Movement of Ann Arbor chose the third anniversary of the assassina- tion of the famous Negro leader as a time to commemorate his con- tributions to the black nationalist movement. In a memorial service program at Canterbury House yesterday afternoon Negroes presented poet- ry, speeches, and music to honor' his memory. so does he. The presentations expounded on the message of Malcolm X's great- ness and relevance for today. Nancy Alexander, '71, admitted that it took "three years for me to realize what he was saying."gr Referring to his life, one girl said, "If Malcolm could sink so low into a life of crime and rise so high to a leader of people, let us stop and think what you are and can do for the cause." His rise from ghetto life is the bions - r amo, Leeuu, p , television - and not enough to reading. "I have a feeling it may be fashionable to read again," he said, as it was when he was young.
