The Committee on Repression also announced it is sponsoring a protest against the handling of the trial.

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. Gov. Milliken subpoenaed Gov. William Milliken has been served with a subpoena to appear as a witness in the LSA Bldg. sit- in trial of Student Government Council Executive Vice President Marc Van Der Hout. The subpoena, which calls for Milliken to appear at 8:30 a.m. today in District Court, was served on the governor by Steve Nissen, '70 as Milliken left the capital building in Lansing yesterday afternoon. Aides for the governor would{ only say that Milliken had been served with a "document" and that it would be turned over to legal advisers for their opinion. 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.

Y j((}} G) J J W n 1 1 t 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." ,oters e e erosation with the blaste s Conference unites against war for three. wards in city. primaryv 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 Voi t rnjmenv - r-TT arepA 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 mass political action at Wash- ington.
