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.

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.

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.
