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 flanked three sides of the Court here for years.

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.

Dean Haber, LSA Executive Committee Must Accept Proposal 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. t The policy recommendations were formulated after a month of debate by the board following Cut- ler's request on Oct. 30 that "ap- proriate academic discipline be ap- plid" against Karen Daenzer '70, ' VOICE-SDS chairman for par- Upelig gle o U Uefleu bate of issues which it feels is vital to the life of the party.".

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- ment interviewing is incompatible with the educational process--a view with which I do not agree but which I can understand-I can find no justification for the obstruction of interviewing on campus," Fleming concluded.

First of all By BILL LEVIS The surroundings were considerably different. The pigeons were gone, the dirt track was missing. But the results were still the same. The Michigan basketball team went down to its ninth straight defeat including eight straight losses at the end of last year, at the hands of a quick, well-drilled Kentucky team 96-79 in the season opener for both squads. Playing for the first time in the $7 million University Events Building before a near capacity crowd of 12,761, the Wolverines suc- cumbed to a case of Blue grass fever in the last 10 minutes of the{ first half and were never fully able to recover. The Wildcats forged ahead by 20 points with 1:45 to go in the half after Michigan had fought back to within two with 9:45 left. The Wolverines, who had outscored the Wildcats by seven in their own four-minute 'drive, were never able to get back into the game.
