Frederick E ' I 4 The matter stems from a na- tional ZTA policy which says that - a girl may not be pledged if she has a negative recommendation O mi t from an alumna.

A University Regent revealed that Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler endorsed the policy to the Board of Regents at their closed meeting last week. "There was no formal vote taken," the Regent explained. "but there were no objections. Cutler was favorable to it himself. I'm surprised it hasn't been announced yet."

"We have tried to develop the eight 'core' courses as if they were a single course," Rewoldt says. "This will make teaching much more effective, because the instructors will know exactly what their students' background is. Under the old program, when required courses could be taken in any order, it was impossible to assume that students in my marketing course, for example, had ever heard about probability theory or knew anything aboutI the behavioral sciences."{ Another major innovation is a change in emphasis from tradi- tional fields, such as accounting and business law, to new inter- disciplinary studies. Specifically; three new courses, "none of them within the traditional depart- ments of the school," will train students to deal with "the inter- relationships of various parts of a modern business organization," according to Rewoldt. One new course, "Analysis, Planning and Control," will stress such subjects as managerial ac- counting, operations research and capital budgeting. Computer use will be central to the;course. Another course, "Business, the See NEW, Page 2 No Comment Cutler was out of town yester- day and unavailable for comment. A letter will be sent to the parents of all freshman women "explaining the new regulations," Director of University Housing John C. Feldkamp said last night. Feldkamp said that Hughes was drafting the letter, which was planned in anticipation of the de- cision to eliminate freshman wo- men's hours. The letter will explain that freshman women will have to re- ceive parental permission before their hours are eliminated, Feld- kamp said. Controversy The action climaxes a month- long controversy touched off when Student-- Government Council voted Oct. 12 to recognize "the right of freshman women in in- dividual residences to make their own hours," SGC called for an immediate vote of the freshman women in their individual residences to de- termine hours policy. Feldkamp said that with the new policy, freshman women who had obtain- ed parental permission would. have no hours, regardless of a vote within their residence unit. "Students should realize that SGC doesn't make rules," Feldkamp said. Powerless "I'm glad they realize that they are powerless to enforce Univer- sity regulations on students," SGC president Bruce Kahn, '68, said last night. Other SGC members described the action as a "face- saving move." The original move came in response to a resolution passed by Blagdon House of Markley Hall a month ago which eliminated the provision for punishment of cur- few violations from Blagdon's regulations. At that time, Feldkamp said "It has been residence hall staff policy since early last year not to get involved in types of dis- ciplinary action where students have passed rules . . . This in- cludes hours." RICHARD L. CUTLER Po0liceSeize. Marijuana Story Writer A former University student who wrote two articles in "Gargoyle" on Ann Arbor marijuana inves- tigation was arrested Monday by city police for breaking probation. The "Gargoyle" articles were listed among the charges against Steven B. Combes as "anti-social conduct" forbidden by his proba- tion contract. The last time a similar occurrence took place in Ann Arbor, author John Rosevear was arrested for growing marijuana while doing research for his book, "Pot." Rose- vear, whose book is now being marketed nationally. served a nine-month jail term for his extra- legal endeavors. Combes served 5%/2 months in the Washtenaw County Jail earlier this year and was placed on five year probation for possession of marijuana. The articles, "But We Must" and "My Dog Is a Nark," tell of Com- bes' own experience with police, offer advice for those in similar situations and describe local police officers who work on narcotics arrests. The probation department issued a warrant for Combes' arrest shortly after "Gargoyle" appeared, and he was arrested Monday after a weekend-long search by police, including the officers described by Combes in "Gargoyle." Police seized Combes Monday across the street from City Hall. A detective in an unmarked car spotted him on E. Huron, and alerted headquarters. Three of- ficers rushed out of the Detective Bureau in City Hall to apprehend Combes, who was handcuffed and taken to headquarters after a brief struggle. Combes attempted to swallow a foil-wrapped package when his handcuffs were removed. Detective [t. Eugene L. Staudenmaler forced Combes' mouth open with the help of two other officers. Police said the package contain- ed marijuana and that Combes ad- mitted there was "ennuh fnr five Harris Attacks II-S; u Government Policy reclassified 1-Y. "I returned that' card also," he said. Harris does not see the possible five-year prison sentence for turn- ing in draft cards as a penalty. 'The 5 years in prison could be very useful to society," he said.I Harris emphasized the value of educating inmates and not co- operating with prison officials. I "If 20 per cent of the people wouldn't cooperate with the draft we could break the system," he commented. Harris said the 1500 draft cards turned in on Oct. 16 was "small compared to the num- ber on Dec. 4," a scheduled Na- tional Mobilization Day. "The thing is going to snowball, but this is not the important thing," said Haris. "We must not only make the system inoperable but make the sources of the system in society inoperable." Harris stressed that a person's own life is his only weapon against the system. "In resistance," he said, "one takes his own life and uses it as a tool against the state."
