Pige Ten THE -MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, March 27, 1970 Poge Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY LSA PROGRAM: Waitina watchirni Summer reading course offered during the class strife ADIDAS SHOES A'ROLD S FRI By STEPHEN SHOGAN With the bleak summer job outlook threatening many stu- dents, it is important to know that the University may be able to provide many people with an alternative to the long, boring hours of television reruns. Beginning 10 years ago, the Honors Council instituted the Summer Reading Program which enables qualified students to engage in independent study for University credit. This independent study may consist of any regular LSA of- fering for which the course work can be accomplished by read- ing alone, and for which the student can find a faculty spon- sor. The program allows the stu- dent to sig up for classes each spring and to work at his own pace on readings and other assignments given to him. be- fore he leaves for summer break. Within one month after his re- turn to the University in the fall, the student must take a final examination. Although students may be re- quired to write papers, there are no periodic quizzes and no organized study plan. All cours- es are taken for credit with the grade received being recorded on one's transcript and figured into the grade point average. According to Otto Graf, di- rector of the Honors program and this program, the major 2nd Panther freed in INY bombing trial NEW YORK W) - A second Black. Panther was freed on $100 000 bail yesterday as legal authorities debated usina such methods as closed-circuit tele- vision to maintain courtroom de- corum when pretrial hearings re- sume for the Panthers accused of conspiracy to murder and bomb. State Supreme Court Justice John Murtagh suspended the hearings indefinitely Feb. 25 be- cause of the uproar in his cdurt, but he has said he would like to start them again if order can be assured. Murtagh first demanded written promises of good behavior from each defendant, but said Wednes- day he would accept instead writ- ten assurance that the 13 would do nothing to prevent their stand- ing trial. The Black Panther freed yester- day was Richard Moore, 24, a leader of the 13. He said he would try to obtain money to free the other Panthers, who have been held without bail since last April 2. They are charged with conspiring to kill policemen and bomb public buildings and installations. Bail for the 13 originally was set at from $50,000 to $100,000. The defense has vainly argued up to the U.S. Supreme Court that the amounts were unreasonably high and constituted preventive detention - the detention of aj person not as yet convicted of any crime on the theory that he might commit other crimes while at large. The first of the 13 to pay the $100.000 bail was Afeni Shakur, 22. alias Alice Williams, wife of another defendant. Loans from E p i s c o p a 1 and Presbyterian churches provided-her bond. Moore's bail was furnished in part by a local Presbyterian church and by Abbie Hoffman, the radical Yippie leader. Hoffman, 31, currently is free on $25.000 bail after his conviction in the tumultuous Chicago con- spiracy trial on federal charges of inciting to riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. He is one of five defendants ap- pealing the five-year prison terms handed down by Federal Judge Julius Hoffman. As at the Panther hearing here, the Chicago trial was interrupted repeatedly by courtroom outbursts. As a result, all seven defendants and their lawyers were sentenced to jail terms for contempt-of- court. Gerald Lefcourt, defense at- torney for the 13 Black Panthers, said Moore was selected to use the bail funds because his leadership and public-speaking abilities will 'help raise bail for the others." purpose of these courses is "to enable the student to show he can work independently.' He believes the program fosters in- dependence, self-discipline and exploration into the fields of the student's personal interest. Last sunimer, 820 courses were read for credit with most of them falling in the departments of English, history, political sci- ence, and psychology. The courses were taken by a cross-section of students from all colleges in the University with an equal number of non- honors and honors students tak- ing part in the program. Each student however, must be clear- ed through the Honors Depart- ment before he may sign up for courses. Looking towards the future, Graf feels the program "could expand infinitely as more and more departments offer inde- pendent study courses." He be- lieves the program can be of spe~cial benefit to students in fulfilling some distribution re- quirements. Course applications. are now available in 1210 Angell Hall where further information may be obtained. The deadline for these applications is May 1, 1970. The cost of each course is $35.00. The University also provides a second alternative for inde- pendent study. This program operates out of the corresnond- encr study department of Ro- bert Wilson. The program, also providing University credit. consists of courses which naralll courses nffervedin the University. These include such things Ps econom- ics. accounting. Envlish. geogra- phy. history. the humanities. Beginning in January a n e w course dealing with environ- mental education, will be offer- ed. These courses are tauoht in a" semi-structured independent stu- dy program. Many audio-viual aids. taned lectures, self-tests, self-revimws. tawnd cia ssroom discusnions and other aids are emnloyed and sent to the stu- d-nt, The courses are in nroyrens all year and may be start-d at any tinme' dzrin- the year. All mat.'rials and c orrrsnnndenc's ar, handled through the mail end occasionally by t-lephone. In each course, the student works directly with a professor or teaching fellow who has been approved by his department chairman. The courses run for twelve months but may be fin- ished as quickly as the student progresses. However, a minimum of eight weeks must be spent on each course. The fee for each course is $27 per credit hour. However, a student enrolled for a semes- ter in the University and elect- ing less than the minimum number of hours may take a correspondence course with no charge. The student would receive full University credit for each course but his grade would not affect his honor point average. The biggest drawback comes in that a maximum of fifteen hours credit may be used from correspondence courses towards a University degree. Although designed for other purposes, these courses can be completed over a summer. Stu- dents from 40 states and 10 foreign countries make use of this plan and other offerings from the correspondence study department. "Independent study is one of the most practical alternatives to the increased burden on the instructor and the overcrowded classroom," says Wilson. He added that the courses are de- signed for emphasis on the learner and support by the ex- pert. (Continued from page 1) merely a parade. What else could be said? At the LSA Bldg. the strik- ers bunched together and pre- vented people from entering the building. But things dulled by about 9 a.m., few people were coming and the building appear- ed to be , sealed securely. 'Maybe no one will come," said a masked figure. Another replied "No that's boring." He was only half-serious, but he too was waiting. Wondering if the police would be called in and change the tenor of t h e strike, expecting the administra- tion's and state's response of waiting for something new to happen. Mark Joliat, a student w h o backs the BAM demands and the strike, admitted to being bored by the situation. He plan- ned to return to class shortly, convinced finals would severely hamper the strike's effective- ness. The opposite view was held by Peter Denton who express- ed optimism for the strike and said he anticipated little diffi- culty locating ways - o t h e r than classes - of closing the University down. A girl directing strikers to classes agreed. "You can turn off the lights and heating. You can mess up the computer cards. There are plenty of things to do," she offered. Joliat maintained the strike would die, Denton that it would grow. But both seemed to be waiting for events that would concretely determine its out- come. And who could, tell if they would come. The situation was eerie. The Diag was virtuallyE empty, the center "M" strange ly conspicuous and most every- one you passed seemed to be discussing the strike. Few scur- ried and bumped against you as- is usually the case in the early afternoon. It was snowing and the only sounds you heard were feet rubbing through slush. Prof. Jack Rothman of the soc- ial work school has been appoint- ed to the National Task force on Group Life in America. The task force is sponsored by the Ameri- can Jewish Committee, and will be chaired by Morris B. Abram, president of Brandeis University. The purpose of the group is to develop new strategies for dealing with intergroup conflict. in being absolutely sure of no feminine offense with MY OWN., Hygienic Deodorant Spray for the outer vaginal area.
