Wake up any Wednesday or
Saturday morning this winter,!
bundle yourself againstthe cold,
and you can take a stroll back
to the days when fresh farm pro-
duce was "in" and shiny-tiled
supermarkets were only wild fan-
cies of the future.
Ann Arbor's Farmer's Market-
some 30 open-air stalls sitting!
inconspicuously near rusty rail-1
road tracks at Fifth and Ann
streets - is a vestige of times
when Americans bought the food
they ate from the farmers who
grew it. From 8 a.m. to 3p.m.,
three times a week during the
summer and twice a week during
the winter, farmers from as far'
as Toledo man their stalls and
sell on a typical day $15,000 worth
of fresh-picked vegetables, fruits,
chickens, eggs, home b a k e d
breads and pies and almost any-
thing else you prefer not to buy
at the local A&P.
Their produce is always sold
out. Patrons, who range from Uni-
versity professors to factory work-1
ers in Saginaw, have been coming
religiously for years and don't in-
tend to stop.
"For a lot of people it's their
Saturday morning outing," says
Ann Arbor City Treasurer Robert
Gross. "They'd rather miss church
on Sunday than miss the market
on Saturday."
The main market attractions
seem to be the "friendly atmos-
phere," according to Gross, and
"the wonderful freshness of the
vegetables" according to ilmost.
everybody.
"I'll tell you one thing," says a
spry woman in her 50's. "This
market's one of the best things
about Ann Arbor. I've been coming
here every selling day during theE
summer and every selling day dur-
ing the winter for eight years.'
People say prices here are higher,
and they're right. The food's
better. Not like the vegetables you
get in the grocery, crumpled like'
tissues you can mop on the floor.'?
For the accomplished cook or the*
student who loves simply to wan-
der in and out of fresh-smelling
stalls - and perhaps buy a loaf
of banana bread and fresh honey-
LSA-
comb for a friend -- there are
plenty of food varieties from
which to choose.
Tomatoes, carrots, six kinds of
squash, bushels of apples, hickory
nuts, and Chinese lettuce. Cookies,
sweet potato pies ("they don't sell
no sweet potato pies at the gro-'
cery," claims the seller, "so we
sell 'em here"), four sizes of eggs
and peppers.
Chickens, rabbits, butternuts,
gingerbread men, turnips, and
cabbage ("these cabbages have
been sitting around for weeks.
They keep a long time, so we pile
them in the barn"). And for the
diet-minded dried cattails, pine3
cones. long-stemmed plants, twigs
of pussy willow and Indian corn.
Even if you don't visit the mar-
ket to shop, you can drop by to
talk. Sole of the sellers have
been at their stalls for 30 years
or more - if not as adults, as
small kids with their fathers.
gan. "The townsfolk try different'
stands, and then settle down with
the ones they like. And we get,
to know each other."
When Detroit's Western Mar-
ket closed in 1965, some of its
farmers moved business here. One
of them, E. J. Sylvester, had work-'
ed at Western since 1935. But now
that he's in Ann Arbor, and he
likes it.
"I enjoy selling my crops," says
the wizened veteran. "I used to
work in a shop, but I wanted a
place to retire to. So 30 years
ago, I started working in my gar-
den. Then I expanded to 80 acres.
I'm retired now, but I'm putting
my full time into farming. That's
better than spending my life look-'
ing at four walls."
No one seems to know exactly
when the Farmer's Market began,
but Gross claims "I remember it
myself from 1927." Originally it
doesn't pay a penny for the mar-
ket, according to Gross. Funds
from stall rentals and parking
facilities make it a self-sustaining
venture.
Farmer's Market is asthetically
pleasing now, but two years ago
the University schools of Archi-
tecture and Design and Natural
Resources came up with proposals
that would make it even more so,
They en'visioned a mall on Liberty
St. and Fifth Ave., an alternate
road system, and art shops which
would lend the market contin-
ental air.
"Design plans were lovely," says
Gross, "but to get it going would
take $2-3 million a year for sever-
al years. Our big aim is eventu-
ally to enclose an area for antique
sales, artist displays, and stalls
for the market during the winter."
"It's a beautiful, beautiful place,"
says a woman carrying her baby,
"my husband and I have come

THE FARMER'S.MARKET is here to stay, rain or shine. The customer's don't seem to mind and
don't care how bad the weather is-they'll come to buy the farmer's produce anyway. They've been
doing it for years. One salesman claimed the Farmer's Market would outlast the grocery stores.
Only time will tell.

By STEVE NISSEN
The administrative board of the
literary college ,has completed a
set of recommendations outlining
the guidelines for determining if
future cases of non-academic dis-
cipline fall within the board's
jurisdiction.
Vice-President for StUdent Af-
fairs Richard Cutler acknowledged
last night that he had received the
board's recommendations but de-
clined to _reveal that exact con-
tents.
" An -informed source indicated
the statement may be considered
by the literary college faculty at
their regular monthly meeting to-
morrow.
Members of the board, *hen
contacted last night, said that
they had agreed among them-
selves that any official word on
the contents of the statement
would have to come from Assistant
Dean James Shaw of the literary
college who heads the board.
Shaw, however, refused to com-
ment, saying that it was up to
Dean William Haber of the liter-
ary college to make any announce-
ment concerning the contents of
the statement. Haber said last
night he did not have a copy of
T the board's recommendation.
However, "The administrative
board i8 not a policy making or-
ganization," Haber explained.
"The executive committee of the
1literary college and the Dean of
the faculty have the final say in
this matter,"' he added.

were formulated after a month of
debate by the board following Cut-

Fleming said that although
campus interviews often stir up
considerable protesting, little at-
tention is paid to the interviewing
system itself. When a student
signs up for an interview, "no one
tells him that he must do so. It
is an exercise of individual judg-
ment.
"Unless one is prepared to draw
the conclusion that all employ-

with the educational process--a
view with which I do not agree
but which I can understand-I

obstruction of interviewing on
