t' Not Exempt
From State Law
University employes are public employes and are covered under
the provisions of Public Act 379 of 1965, Washtenaw County Circuit
Court Judge William Agar ruled Tuesday.
Agar denied a request for an injunction against the State Labor
Mediation Board and two unions made by the University, Central
Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University.
The unions involved in the suit were the Washtenaw County
Building and Trades Council and the American Federation of State,
County, and Municipal Employes (AFSCME).
Agar noted universities are autonomous under the state constitu-
tion, but added the constitution was "not meant to exempt the Regents
and Boards from all laws passed by the Legislature."

Non-Student Membership Still Legal
By URBAN LEHNER
Students voted to hold a constitutional convention and to
allow non-students to continue their membership in campus
organizaions, in elections completed yesterday.
Voters also elected six at-large members of Student
Government Council: Michael Koeneke, '69BAd, E. 0
Knowles, '70, Sam Sherman, '68, Andrew Quinn, '69, Thomas
Westerdale, Grad, and Sharon Lowen, '71.
The constitutional convention is scheduled for next
semester to restructure SGC. The issue was placed on the
referendum at the request of student organizations who feel
that SGC is currently "unrepresentative."
Council must now devise a formula for g oosing delegates
to the convention. The report by University Activities Center

To Regents
By GREG OXFORD
The Regents are expected to
consider a recommendation from a
special presidential committee to
charge $1,500 or ten per cent of
gross receipts, whichever is higher,
for rental of the new University
Events Building.
According to Athletic Director
H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler, this fee
schedule is on the agenda for the
monthly Regents' meeting which
begins today.
Officials of the University Activ-
ties Center have indicated concern
about the fee schedule which is
considerably higher than the $265
charged for use of Hill Auditorium.
Some student officials have in-
dicated that their organizations
cannot afford the proposed rates.
At a meeting yesterday with
UAC officials and Maurice Rinkel,
Auditor of Student Organizations,
Crisler said that the presidential
committee may be willing to review
the fee schedule after the Regents
approve it.
However, if a change were made
as a result of this review, it Would
have to be reapproved by the
Board in Control of Intercollegiate
Athletes and the Regents.
Crisler emphasized that the
proposal, including the fee sched-
ule, was not his, but the recom-
mendation of a presidential com-
mittee composed of himself, UAC
president DonTucker, and repre-
sentatives of the offices of Stu-
dent Affairs.
This committee met Oct. 16 and
considered policy and procedure
regarding the new building as spe-
cified by a presidential directive.
Aims, purposes, and priorities con-
cerning use of the building were
considered as well as the rental
schedule. Prior to this meeting a
study of policiestand procedures at
other comparable buildings in oth-
er universities and communities
was conducted.
After discussion by the commit-
tee, a draft proposal calling for the
$1,500 or 10 per cent fee schedule
was agreed upon.
The next day, Crisler requested
amendments from the members of
the committee. Several were re-
ceived from the offices of Business
and Finance and Student Affairs
and incorporated into the pro-
posal.
According to Crisler, UAC did
not express concern about the fee
schedule until Nov. 3, the same
day the Athletic Board endorsed
the proposal and agreed to send it
to the Regents. At that time the
