PA Wage 124, Court Other By LUCY KENNEDY The Faculty Senate Assembly approved yesterday a series of recommendations' made by the Faculty Senate's Educational Pol- icies Committee on physical edu- cation and intercollegiate athlet- ics, including a recommendation that administration of the inter- collegiate athletic program be di- vorced from that of physical edu- cation and intramural athletics, The Educational Policies Com- mittee said, however, that it "'neither rules out nor endorses" any proposals for an independent' school of physical education, but recognizes that the issue should receive further study. At the August meeting of the Pilot Proj 'Student P T }i} J 7 f _ Faculty Assembly the report of President Hatcher's Committee on Organization and Structure of the Department of Physical Edu- cation was referred to the EPC.

By an unofficial tally of 3346-' 374, the teachers ratified an agree- ment that had been hammered out in an all-night bargaining session. A spokesman for the school By MIKE THORYN "Student power is a reaction to powerlessness. We have none and we would like to have some," Student Government Council Pres- ident Bruce Kahn said last night in a discussion sponsored by the Pilot Program in East Quad. The other members of the panel speaking to the 100 people present were Ted Steege, a member of Voice Political Party, the campus chapter of the Students for a Dem- ocra c Society, and Roger Rapo- port, Edittc of 'he Daily. Steege was not so interested in non-academic rules as was Kahn. He was concerned with the in- dividual's place in the University structure. "Because of the depression and World War II, the nation assumed great powers to meet international crises. It turned to universities for people to fill positions. Intel- lectuals, whose real goal is to look for truth, have started giving up their prerogative to freely criticize society, as the Defense Depart- ment controls much of the money spent for research." Steege said that his ideal for students would be an "ivory tower university" devoted solely to ed- ucation. The students and faculty would be critical of their own sup- positions and would try to get at the truth. Kahn spoke of the problem in more specific terms. "Students should get the franchise. Right now, only 1 per cent of the com- munity-the administrators and the Regents have a vote (in Uni- versity decision-making." "Last Thursday, SGC gave stu- dents a voice by doing over the "U' book of Rules and Regula- tions." Kahn said that he hoped The majority of members of the Joint Judiciary Council, the high- est student judiciary body, have stated they would find a student guilty of an offense only if he had broken a student-made rule. One method suggested by the panel to circumvent the rule of freshman women's hours was for approximately thirty girls to walk into their dorm an hour late and march right past the women in charge of checking them in.

The resolution, introduced by IHA president Steve Brown, '69, states that "before a room search is commenced, the ' occupant(s) of the room shall be informed by authorized University housing personnel of the item being searched for," and a written state- ment naming the item shall be presented to the occupants before, the search is begun. The present University policy provides that "if the student does not wish to voluntarily assist in the room search, a search war- rent may be obtained." The new recommendations change this to, "will be obtained."

Among them are Public Act 124 (1965) which establishes state con- trols over University constructon, and Public Act 240 (1967), which includes a controversial limita- tion on the percentage of out-of- state students that can be en- n rolled. The court challenge is expected to be filed jointly with several other state universities, sources in- dicate.

The court challenge is expected to be filed in either Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor)' or Ingham County (Lansing) Cir- cuit Court. The University Regents reviewed an extensive report on the court challenge during closed session here last week. The report was written by the University's legal staff after the Regents instructed Two' rep- them in August "to file an appro- cted from priate level action to determine five from the validity of PA 124."

The University will also chal- lenge PA 310 of 1966 and PA 244 of 1967 which are the respective capital outlay bills for those two years. Both acts embrace the same concept as PA 124.

Holland and Crestwood school dis- tricts. In addition to Detroit, settlements were reached over the weekend in Inkster, Ecorse and River Rouge. Still undecided in the Michigan school strike issue is the question of makup time for school days already missed. A state law ;re- quires all public school districts to remain open a certain number of days. The students, residents of Uni- versity Terrace and Northwestj Apartments, submitted checks for the amount of last year's rent only, withholding the $10 increase. They contend that the Aug. 1 an- nouncement of the increase was made without "sufficient warn- ing." They have asked a postpone-' ment of the increase until Jan. 1. The new payment was to begin last Friday. All checks in question were en- dorsed: "In full payment of Sep- tember 1967 rent." According to a letter sent to the students by Roy Ashmall, President of the Graduate Assembly, "the legal ramifications of this state- ment appearing on the check are that cashing the check (by the University) is an admission that the residents owe no additional money for their September rent." I Feldkamp said that the Univer city is presently investigating the legal implications of the endorse- ment. He said the University may be able to accept these checks as pa tialpayment, in which case the students would be responsible for, will be held tomorrow.' resentatives will be ele University Terrace and Northwood.
