A bomb caused an unptnown amount of damage to the
East Wing of the Institute of Science and Technology build-
ing on North Camptis at approximately 11:45 last night. "
According to radio station WAAM, Ann Arbor Police iden-
tified the cause of the explosion as a dynamite bomb. Police
were reported to have fo'und traces of dynamite on pieces of
paper found in the area of the explosion.
Sgt. Robert Conn, who was temporarily supervising the
investigation last night, said there would be no official state-
ment until later this morning. FBI agents joined the investi-
gation shortly after it was begun by Ann Arbor police officials.
They were said to be awaiting the arrival of the bomb squad.

Walkout may
affect status
By STEVE ANZALONE
Voice-SDS split apart after four
weeks of factional fighting be-
tween the Radical Caucus and the
Jesse James Gang.
At a meeting yesterday after-
noon, about 25 members of the
Radical Caucus voted to resign
from Voice as a group and estab-
lish a new organization. Its first
meeting will be at 7:30 .p.m. to-
night on the second floor of the
S.A.B. Among those present at
yesterday's meeting were E r i e
Chester and Bruce Levine. who
have long been identified with the
leadership of Voice.
At this time it is not certain that
Voice can maintain its status as a
student organization after t h e
walk-out by the Radical Caucus.
Voice must demonstrate that the
majority of its members are stu-
dents.

cus was prompted by the forma-

Once over for Romance laguages
By RON LANDSMAN
As the number of student sig-
natures on petitions to end the
language requirement climbs to.
over 1,200, the Romance lang-
uages department is subjecting
its elementary language'program
/to a critical examination.
Student and literary college
curriculum committee concern
over the validity of a language
requirement, coupled with intra-
department faculty feuding over
instructional methods, h a v e
jointly precipitated the reassess-
ment.
But the eyaluation is current-
ly focussing on the humble
teaching fellows who bear most
of the burden of teaching lower
level language courses,
Teaching fellows, who norm-
ally don't attend faculty meet-
ings, have been invited to attend
one early next month. It is hop-
ed that the fellows-who teach
almost all of the 101-232 cours-
es--wil be able to provide in-
formation about the elementary
programs that the faculty mem-
rector of 101-232 Spanish, see
nothing wrong with that situa-
tion.
"The teaching fellows do a far
better job than 'professors
would," explains Cressey. It's
not that they are more qualified
but they're more interested and
moretwilling to put more time
into it."
O'Neil adds, "The work we get
from the good and experienced
teaching fellows is as good as an
assistant professor would do."
. But the problem of using
teaching fellows or assistant
professors for elementary cours-
es is only part of the problem.
The debate raging now among
student and faculty concerning
the quality of the instruction
can be summed up in three
questions:
0 How good is the teaching
of the 101-232 level courses?
" How good are the methods
employed in teaching there? In
fact, can language be taught at
that level?
* How successful is the pro-
gram in meeting its goals and
On the otter hand, students
and some instructors think the
teaching leaves much to be de-
sired, although there are ad-
mittedly no easy solutions to be
found.
"We have the best Romance
linguistics departments in the
country," O'Neil says, "and they
are involved, although only inci-
dentally, in elementary language
instruction." He adds that lang-
uage instruction on this level is
"no better than any other de-
partment that has as large a
commitment taught by chang-
ing personnel with a high turn-
over rate."
"Our accomplishments." he
says, "are the same as for other
departments." He also notes that
the language requirement is the
largest segment of work requir-
ed under the distribution re-
quirements. "It is the largest
bloc of inescapable time the stu-
dent faces."
H a g i w a r a maintains his
teaching fellows are qualified to
do the work assigned to them
er-sized classes, she says, are a
serious barrier to good "oral-
aural" instruction..
The result is that those who
can't speak well enough resort
to the books available, "which
are invariably bad," she ex-
plains.
Donald Dugas, a French in-
structor and former language
co-ordinator for the pilot pro-
gram, calls teaching fellows used
in lower level instruction "cheap
labor." "Everyone knows it, but
no one can find a way to train
them," he says. Some instructors
are excellent though, he main-
tains.
He also claims the department
suffers from its size. "The pro-
gram is too big and requires too
many-teaching fellows. We just
can't be selective enough," he
says, "and it's getting worse now
with the draft."
Hagiwara strongly defends his
teaching fellows and the meth-
ods he uses in training them.
They are chosen carefully, he
says, only one out of 25 appli-
must seek as a base."
Last week's action to consider
disruption of classeswas -only the
renewal of the rupture in Voice
that appeared to be mending at
the previous meeting. The estab-
lishment of two committees at
that meeting to start a concrete
program of educational change
had been pushed forward by the
Radical Caucus without meeting
opposition from the Gang.
Tonight's meeting of the Radi-
cal Caucus will seek to build an
organization out of people who
sympathize with the caucus. The
name of that organization and its
relationship to the national SDS1
organization will be considered at1
the meeting.
The walk-out by tbAe Radical]
Caucus followed a similar move byl
a small group of Voice members
who left that organization t w o
weeks ago to form another group,
Phoenix-SDS;.
Many members of the Jesse
James Gang speak of the national1
aspect of the movement. Jim Mel-,
len of the Radical Education Pro-
ject who is new to Ann Arbor this
.year, said at a Voice meeting two
weeks ago that SDS has to define
itself in terms of national libera-
tion movements through out the
world.
Bill Ayers of the Ann Arbor
Community School, added, "We
are the arms of the liberation
front inside the monster."
Voice has traditionally been
fairly divorced from SDS nation-
ally and the antagonistic relation-
ship between the two is well-!
known.
Chester points out that the na-
tin-a AnoC him.-hv of hillnPimp
The traditional system of re-
quiring all residents of a house to
pay dues-which now range, from
$10 to $20 -- is one that has long
gone unchallenged.
The fees are usually -set by the
house government the previous
spring when most of its future re-
sidents are still in high school.
Cosequently, the incoming stu-
dents are given no say in the
money they are later called upon
to pay.
The houses are empowered by
the Regents' bylaws to withhold
credits of students who don't pay
their dues. However, the houses
tend not to enforce dues pay-
ment this way since lines for late
payment and pressure from the
house nets most of the money.
Though mens dues are con-
sistently higher than women's, the
men tend to ignore what their
house governments are doing.
"Most of us are petty busy," ex-
plains Bruce Morris of West Quad.
John Bellaver, '72, admits he
doesn't think much about where
his money is going., "It was really
confusing the first day," Bellaver
says, "so I figured I'd pay my dues
and get it out of the way."
The women, on the other hand,
do not take their dues and dorms
lightly. "Tha participation in
everything is surprisingly good,"
says Jordan Hall president Monica
Burke.
"It's like one big happy family
here, says Joyce Wizeapple, "71,
president of Couzens Hall. "Every-
one participates in dorm functions
and we all have a great time,"
