The 'Chicago 7' conspiracy trial proceedings have sparked
protest reaction in Ann Arbor and around the country.
At a meeting yesterday in the Law School, plans were
V made for a discussion tomorrow of Judge Julius Hoffman's
handling of the trial. Students and possibly faculty members
will discuss the legal aspects of Hoffman's rulings. The meet-

Senate Assembly yesterday called for the rejection of t:

also announced it is sponsoring a
protest against the handling of the
trial. The night the verdict is giv-
en, interested people will meet in
the SAB at 7 p.m. to organize for
a mass demonstration the next
night.
The march will be held no mat-
ter what the trial verdict is.
Meanwhile in New York, more
man of the Calendar Commit-
tee George Hay, President
Robben Fleming was seeking
the Assembly's. reaction to the
report.
He said that Fleming wanted
greater faculty involvement on the
issue than occurred when, the
change to the trimester system
was made five years ago.
Assembly is the University-wide
faculty clecision-making body.
The meaning of Assembly's ac-
tion remained unclear last night.
Norman's resolution did not spe-
cify an alternative calendar, leav-
ing that question open. One an-
swer might lie in a motion by law
Prof. Robert Knauss which calls
on the Assembly to poll the fac-
ulty and "to sample student
opinion."~
But Assembly tabled action on
that motion until its March 16
meeting.
Secretary of the University
Prof. Herbert Hildebrandt said it
would take "considerable" time to
implement the switch.
Criticism of the trimester sys-
tem centered around the question
of whether it provided students
the higest possible quality of edu-
cation. History Prof. and Assem-
bly Member Gerhardt Weinberg
said that "unlike most consumers,
students want less for their money
and we like to give them less for
their money.",
On the other side, supporters of
the trimester system criticized the
"lame duck period" which occur-
red under the old system betweenr
Christmas vacation and final ex-
aminations. Journalism Prof. and
Assembly Member Robert Bishop
pointed to the advantages of the
long summer vacation for both
students and faculty.

on the governor by Steve Nissen,

Blacks
criticize
By DAVE CHUDWIN
Three black students walked out
of an ENACT steering committee
last night, charging the group with
"tokenism" toward blacks and lack
of concern with urban problems in
planning the March 11-14 teach-in
on .the environment.
Before walking out Randy Lavis,
'71 NR, said he would not organize
a teach-in workshop for ENACT
and added that he and other black
studentsare considering boycot-
ting the teach-in.
He claimed that ENACT had
waited until the last minute to ask
him to run the workshop on black
and urban problems and had only
allocated $500 for that purpose.
"You're spending thousands of
dollars to get people like Arthur
Godfrey-what the hell does he
know about urban problems?"
Davis asked. "We're the ones who
have to live in the environment.
"The black people at this Uni-
versity and around the country
are not going to stand for this
tokenism," he added.
It was unclear last night wheth-
er Davis was acting as a represent-
ative of the Black Student Union
or in a private capacity. Contacted
after the meeting, Davis said he
could make no further statements
without consulting members of the
BSU.
The action by the three blacks
had a dramatic, immediate impact
on the all-white steering commit-
tee.
"It shocked the hell out of me,"
committee member Dave Damm
said. "It finally made me realize
we had been putting off an issue
important to the environmental
effort."
The committee voted unani-
mously to have several of its mem-
bers approach the blacks to find
out how they would.like to partici-
pate in the teach-in.
"We should go and ask them
what they want," said committee
member Bill Painter. "The only
honest thing to do is to fess-up to
what we've done and admit we's e
dodged this."
Deciding to spend its next
meeting talking about how to
come to grips with wider social is-
sues, the committee agreed to held
open a spot in the major program
of the teach-in pending any con-
versations with the black students.

Now, McLaughlin says, "The group
is more or less dead."
I What happened to Radical Cau-
|cus? Joe Goldenson, the present
I chairman, traces the decline of
Radical Caucus both to the mem-
bers of the group and the campus
where Radical Caucus was trying
to create a mass base.
"It wasn't as big a group as
everyone thinks it was," says Gol-
denson. "All along there were 50
of 60 people who were dedicated
to the group until it copped out a'
few weeks ago."
Radical Caucus was born in the
fall of 1968 when dissident factions
challenged the leadership of Voice-
SDS in a controvery over general
policies and protest tactics. The
"Crazies" or "Jesse James Gang"
favored an "activist revolutionary
approach to campus protest," they
said. The newer group was opposed
by Radical Caucus members, who
stressed the importance of educat-
ing people on the issuesbefore
taking such actions.
"We developed from the split
with SDS, not as a real political
group but as a group of people
with different political orienta-;
tions meeting to discuss issues,"
Goldenson explains.
"I personally wanted to see
more radical education with a lot
of emphasis on education rather
than on actions."
Goldenson claims that all the
major issues on campus in the
last several years have been short-
lived, and believes that Radical
Caucus was trying to initiate more
of a long-term approach. Pernaps
this was the problem.
"People get involved with the
action," Goldenson says. "It re-
tivism.
There was also a question of
what i ss ue s the organization
should stress and what its tactics
should be.
ROTC, Defense Department re-
search, minority admissions and
tenure policy were all discussed as
possible orientations, but no de-
cision was made.
No decision was reached on
tactical questions either, but it
seemed apparent that the group
was interested in actively partici-
pating in campus politics, instead
of simply talking. Hopes were
voiced that the body would not
simply "wipe up' after others had
instituted actions but that it take
an initiative on its own.
In the letter drafted Sunday
night, the members of the new
Radical College said, concerning
possible expulsion of SDS from
campus, "Regardless of the par-
ticulars of the case, we consider
any move against SDS as itself a
politically repressive act, incom-;
patible with basic values on which
the University of Michigan should
stand."

Conference unites against war

By JIM McFERSON
K Daily News Analysis
The major success of last
weekend's anti-war conference
in Cleveland appears to be that
3000 persons turned up en masse
and agreed to take collective
action this spring.
For although the conference
was hampered by factional dis-
putes and wide-ranging group
idealogies, a key accomplishment
seems to lie merely in the fact
that the amorphous group could
agree on taking any action at
all.
jThe political diversity of the
Nevertheless, the conference
was unified under the banner
of whole-hearted opposition to
the war and the importance of
organizing large-scale protests
in the streets to end the war.
The group agreed to sponsor
nation - wide demonstrations
from April 13-18 in a manner
similar to the October morato-
rium but on a larger, more com-
plete scale. It appeared that the
conferees hoped to combine the
mass unity of the Washington
March with the wide geographic
nature of the Moratorium.
movement is together more than
ever."
Members from the other po-
litical groups differed, however,
explaining that the only thing
holding the conference together
was the common anti-war senti-
ment.
Although an SDS member said
"I don't think the SMC leaders
can effectively lead the anti-war
movement," he added that the
conference was successful be-
cause of the great deal of politi-
cal discussion.
A member from Revolutionary

it passed a concrete structure
proposal for the organization.
The proposal, favored by SMC
members, set up a geographical-
ly distributed steering commit-
tee and called for major mass
conferences of SMC to be held
annually.
Whether or not the confer-
ence's hopes for mass action will
be realized is certainly a matter
open to debate. There was clear-
ly disagreemnent at the confer-
ence over the success of the last
