I Huber. By RONLANDSMAN Managing Editor, 1969-70 ,The report prepared for the Special State Senate Committee on Campus Disorders recommends that no punitive legislation be passed to control campuses and that com- munication between college groups be in- creased to help avert major campus unrest. The generally conciliatory tone of the report runs counter to much of the tongue- lashing State Ren. Robert Huber (R-Troy), chairman of the committee, has given cam- pus protesters. And two points of the report-that "off- campus agitators or on-campus activists" are not a major cause of campus violence and that scholarships should be granted and withdrawn only on academic grounds -go directly against much of what Huber has said in the past.I The report was officially released Thurs- report day at an all-day conference at Nabareth College in Kalamazoo. It additionally states: " New laws are not needed either "to enumerate new criimes or to make more serious offenses of existing crimes in order to deal with campus disorder." * Increased communication should be initiated to avert campus problems, includ- ing "physical availability for direct com- munication with some recognized symbol of authority, preferably the president. * Dissatisfaction in general with college life is the underlying reason behind stu- dent demonstrations. The report also as- serts that students don't always know why they are protesting. " Colleges should seek to "develop ways to really rewarding good teaching," saying there is a "far greater need for teaching -doctorates today than there is for the hits highly research-oriented programs which are the backbone of graduate instruction at the present time." " Colleges should pay more attention to local problems. "New programs must be developed which w-ill make the university the urban equivalent of the land-grant college," the report says. The report has three major sections. One is an analysis of data gathered from ques- tionnaires sent to seven people on each of the 72 state campuses-president, dean of students, faculty chairman, trustee board chairman, public relations director, student newspaper editor and student body presi- dent. There is also an analysis of the inter- views with students, faculty members and administrators on 51 of the campuses and the third part is recommendations on legislation. ampus The report does not, as Huber has said in the past, blame campus disorder on "outside agitators," but he has said, "I have to accept the report on its face. We who have watched news reporting for years will have to reassess our views." He added that "the people of the state of Michigan" should be reassurred because there is so small a percentage of outside agitators. Both he and State Sen. James Fleming (R-Jackson) left room for doubt, however. "I have a few reservations about some of the recommendations," Fleming said. And Huber's first comments at the press con- ference Thursday seemed to underly the advisory nature of the report. "This is not the Senate's report," he said. "We will decide. The Senate will de- cide if more legislation is needed." But intervention by the Legislature, the Contr( report says, "is unlikely to contribute" to channeling "the energies which are re- flected in student unrest into more produc- tive mechanisms and paths." It is unclear whether the writers of the report sought only to prevent student pro- test or whether they wanted to get to, the cause of it. In the prologue to the report, the agency says it does not recommend that "the way to 'forestall student disorder is to bow in advance to student dissent (because) most disorders may be defused: if new means or techniques of communication are found for determining student needs and student feelings...."r A similar attitude is taken toward young r faculty members, who "may be defused r harmlessly by more skillful institutional communication than has prevailed in ther past." laws The report also suggests that presidents should "isolate the radical groups from the mainstream of the concerns of the major- ity of students." But the report also has a tone of con- ciliation and harmony, based more on com- munications than anything else. "Communication failure is often cited as a root of many of our more complex social problems; college communities represent no obvious exception," the reoprt says. To achieve communication, the appro- priate climate must be provided. "One of the most important considerations related to this is that an image be projected of a readiness for open communication,d(in- cluding) physical availability for direct communication of some recognized symbol of authority, preferably the president." The report seems to vacillate between advocating the appearance and the reality See CAMPUS, Page 6 PROCRASTINATION ON4PR BLACK DEMANDS See Editorial Pagebnrch1, 9n a ts Vol. LXXX, No. 1 29: Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, March 1 0, 1970 Ten Cents ECAMBRIAN High--22 Low-17 Partly cloudy, possible snow Ten Pages WHITE SUPPORT: 150 march Dean Hays to back RAM By STEVE KOPPMAN A crowd of 150 persons - predominantly white - march- ed from the Fishbowl to the Admissions Office yesterday to demonstrate support for the Black Action Movement (BAM) demands for increased black admissions.

The announcement, which came in a letter from President Robben Fleming to the Black Action Movement (BAM), March 5, is in response to the demands of BAM for increased black admissions and financial aid. The chief BAM demand calls for the enrollment of 900 black for the enrollment of 900 addi- tional black students by aFll 1971 and the bringing of total black en- rollment at the University to 10 per cent by 1973-74 .

Dozens of nationally-known scientists, politicians, entertain- ers, professors and businessmen will participate in the teach- in, the prototype for similar events at nearly 1,000 colleges across the country on April 22.

Coalition Coordinator A 1 a n Kaufman then read a summary of the BAM demands, which In- clude: -Admission of at least 900 new black students to the Uni- versity during 1971-72; -Increasing the black student population at the University to 10 per cent of the total student body by 1973-74; and -Further increasing b 1 a c k student population until it "shall approach, if not exceed" the pro- portion of blacks in the state. After the demands were read, Vroman told the students, "I sup- port your fundamental purposes and demands." However, he said he would remain neutral on the specific BAM demands when they are presented to the Regents. "It's not my role to present demands," he said. "My role is to administer policy." 'BAM is holding a teach-in to- day from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Union's 3rd floor conference room to discuss the administration re- sponse to demands, and future ac- tion. BAM will hold a mass meet- ing tonight at 8 p.m. in the Union's 3rd floor conference room. Protest of discipline planned By ERIC SCHENK An ad hoc committee of students voted last night to hold a noon rally Thursday followed by a sit-in in LSA Dean William Hays' office in protest of the summary su- suspension of Robert Parsons. Parsons was suspended for al- legedly striking Prof. John Young, director of engineering student placement, during the protest of General Electric recruiters Feb. 18. The committee consisted of re- presentatives of many different groups including Students for a Democratic Society, International Socialists, Student Mobilization Committee, and Student Govern- ment Council, In planning for the actions, Par- sons said that in any action he wanted "to keep politics right up front." Many different arguments were presented concerning the legality of Hays' action. SGC President Marty McLaughlin said that "an academic penalty is not in order for this kind of offense," express- ing the opinion that the case should be handled only in the civil courts. Type of disciplinary action unprecedented By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN Editor In an action unprecedented in recent literary college history, Dean William Hays has summarily suspended a stu- dent involved in the recent disruption of four General Electric Co. recruiters. Robert T. Parsons, a member of SDS, was ordered sus- pended on the basis of allegations that he struck engineering Prof. John Young when demonstrators entered the engineer- ing placement office Feb. 18 to protest the GE recruiters.

ENACT plans a Huron River walk on Saturday morning to pick up debris along the stream's banks. A free pollution control report - drafted by the college's Core Curriculum Review Commit- tee-aimed at increasing flexibili- ty in the RC's curriculum require- ments. Presently, students are not only required to take specific courses, but must take them at the same time as the rest of their class. The committee recommended that students be allowed to choose when to take their required courses and suggested that the specific requirements be largely done away with in favor of more general guidelines. RC Director James Robertson said that the present system "tends to solidify a sense of class rather than a sense of college." However, by requiring 12 RC courses and retaining the present freshman seminar, "some sense of common experience for all stu- dents would be retained, but would leave some option concerning what they take and when they it," Rob- ertson said. Several alternatives to the lan- guage requirement are among the options recommended by the com- mittee. Since the Residential Col- lege is part of the literary college, two years of a foreign language are reuired for a Bachelor of Arts degree. The committee suggested that the purpose of that requirement is contact with "a formal system of symbols." It recommended courses' in mathematics, computer science, in-depth studies of an art form of courses in linguistics as substitu- massive sit-in in Hays' office on Thursday. In a letter to Parsons last week, Hays told him he was entitled to a hearing on the action, probably before the LSA administrative board. However, Parsons will re- main on suspension until such a hearing is held. The administrative board is a faculty-dominated committee which usually handles LSA dis- ciplinary cases: "These accusations are very grave," Hays wrote. "Physical at- tack by a student against a mem- ber of the University faculty in the performance of his duty is absolutely unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated. "Such an incident raises serious questions about the personal safe- ty of the entire academic' com- munity," he added. Hays was out-of-town and un- available for comment yesterday. Associate Dean James Robert- son, who served pn the adminis- trative board from 1950 to 1967 said last 'night there had never before, in his memory, been a case where the dean suspended a stu- dent without prior action by the board. In, all past cases, he said, the procedure has been to give a stu- dent a hearing before the admin- istrative board.

After the meeting, a spokesman for the group said, "SDS is plan- ning a wide range of educational activities" for the teach-in," which is sponsored by ENACT. The group last night included representatives from all the SDS collectives. It was called after all-collective SDS meeting Sunday. The nature of the SDS partici- pation is not public at this time. However, reliable sources speculate that SDS members will participate in workshops and other activities that feature some of the more con- troversial speakers. SDS will also distribute its own leaflet, probably on Wednesday night. The environmental teach-in be- gins today, though the bulk of the activities will start Wednesday and continue until Saturday night. Today the first of over 125 plan- ned workshops, seminars, speeches and exhibits will begin. Dozens of nationally known scientists, poli- ticians, entertainers, professors and businessmen will participate.
