POLI SCI DISPUTE:
Council
TFs continue
moratorium
By HARVARD VALLANCE
An ad hoc organization of about 75 political science
graduate students and teaching fellows voted overwhelmingly
yesterday to continue the "moratorium" on teaching recita-
tion sections this week.
The moratorium, which started yesterday, will be called;
Off for "tactical reasons" next week, the students decided. It
will resume Feb. 23 if the departmental executive committee
does not agree to retract its decision to reduce its budgetary
allocation for next year's teaching fellowships.
If resumed, the moratorium will continue "until the'
executive committee of the department agrees to return to
he status quo" which existed before the decision to cut the

Panthers
By LARRY LEMPERT
A coalition of groups in the Ann
arbor community is organizing a
march tomorrow in support of na-
tional Black Panther leader Huey
P. Newton and six Ann Arbor
Black Berets arrested last August.
The march from the Diag to the
Washtenaw County Bldg. will pro-
t alleged repression of the Black
Mnther party.
Tomorrow, the California State
Supreme Court will hear the ap-
peal of Newton, minister
of defense of the Black Panther
party. He is appealing a conviction
of voluntary manslaughter on
charges of killing an Oakland,
flif. policeman.
Tomorrow also marks the begin-
ning of the trial, of the "Ann Ar-
bor Six", the Black Berets who are
facing charges stemming from a
police raid last August on the
Black Beret office in downtown
Ann Arbor. Some Berets are af-
$~iated with the Panthers.
Marchers will walk through a
section of the black community
of Ann Arbor on their way to the
County Bldg. where the march
will end in a rally.
Speakers at the rally include
elude Terry Dryer and Donnetta
Nrewer of the Black Berets. Miss
Brewer was arrested at the police
raid in Chicago last December in
which Fred Hampton and Mark
Clark of the Illinois Black Pan-
thers were killed.
The demonstration is part of a
nationwide protest called for by
thers to support Newton's ap-
real.
The Free Huey P. Newton Coali-
,ion, organizing the march, includ-
s the Black Panther Party, the
lack Berets, Black Students Un-
on (BSU), Students for a Demo- ,
ratio Society (SDS), and Stu- '
ent Government Council (SGC),
ong other groups.
Black Panther supporters be-
ye that the charges againstI
ewton and the six berets are both
stances of the repression which
ey claim is coming down on the
ack revolutionary group.
Richard Feldman of SDS, one
the organizers for the march,
'ged the community to "show
lidarity." Referring to the Black
rets on trial, he said, "Unless
ere is a lot of public pressure,
ey can railroad everyone t
trough. But with public demon- t
rations, you can sometimes
ance the verdict."
The incident in August with the
lack Berets began when two
lice officers attempted to arrest

unter was wanted for an alleged
role violation.
funds was made last October.
The teaching fellows decided to
hold classes next week to give the
department's executive committee
time to reconsider its decision and
to assess the effectiveness of the
students' action.
aProf. Samuel Eldersveld, chair-
man of the political science de-
partment, said late yesterday that
he had "no word yet" on how
many scheduled recitations were
not held.
However, John Pammet, 'presi-
dent of the Graduate Student As-
sociation in Political Science, es-
timated that all of the depart-
ment's teaching fellows would
support the moratorium.
Eldersveld said that any decision
as to what disciplinary measures,
if, any, would be brought against
the teaching fellows wouldnbe
taken up today by the executive
committee in its regular weekly
meeting.
This week's action was designed
to "demonstrate our capability for
collective action, and may be
coupled on Feb. 23 with a mora-
torium conducted by political
science research assistants as well
as a boycott of classes by gradu-
ate students," one student said.
A motion to boycott graduate
political science classes this week
was defeated because the students
believed that attending classes was
the "best way to raise the issue
among our peers."
Protesting graduate students will
attempt to discuss the controversy
in their classes this week. While
no plans were made to disrupt the
classes, a spokesman for the group
predicted that "harsh words would,
be exchanged if we were denied a
reasonable amount of time to dis-
cuss the issue."
He added that the matter had
already been discussed with un-,
dergraduates in their recitation
sections last week and that teach-
ing fellows would not try to bring
up the issues at undergraduate
lectures

Feldman pleads not
guilty at hearing
By W. E. SCHROCK
Richard Feldman, '71, a member of Students for a Demo-

creating a contention during the block-in of a recruiter from
the DuPont Corp. in the West Engineering Bldg. on Jan. 29.
Arraigned in Ann Arbor District Court early yesterday
morning, Feldman was ordered by Judge Pieter Thomassen to
appear for a jury trial Feb. 26. He is now free on $25 bond.
Meanwhile, the course of action the University will take

Richard Ryan, a local attorney

In a letter dated Feb. 6, Ryan
assured Fleming that there is
"sufficient evidence against thir-

forum or the other" and that in
the specific case of Feldman, "the
evidence justified prosecution un-

The New Mobilization Commit-

yesterday announced a t h r e e-
month campaign of rallies, picket-
ing and demonstrations to pro-
test repression and war spending.
In February the focus of t h e
campaign will be on repression of
civil rights, in March on the draft,
and in April on war spending.
Plans outlined at a news con-
ference included organized draft
card turn-ins during the week of
March 16-22, and demonstrations
at induction centers, draft boards
and recruiting centers on March
19.
"The March 19 demonstrations
may include non-violent civil dis-
obedience such as sit-ins or chair-

ordinator of projects for the com-
mittee.

Doing the wash at the nearest laundro-

But a small oversight can turn it into a
$5 experience if the oversight is leaving
your ID card in some dirty pocket.
One trip through the wash machine and
the little 2 by 3 inch card is cracked, bent
and rejected as your representative for the
libraries' check-out computers and as proof
of existence to cash a check.

But apparently there is a way to beat
the system. If a library worker says your
ID won't work in the machine, he or she
usually gives you a slip noting the card
cannot be used. This should entitle you to
a new ID free of charge.
"The library sends them over hand over
fist;" claims Mrs. Monniner. So every now
and then, she says, she tries to remind
library workers of the negligence vs. nor-
mal wear and tear criteria and warns that
a library notice does not guarantee a free
ID.
