Regen ts to By JILL CRABTREE Over ten months of controversy and committee work have passed since the release of the Hatcher Commission report on University decision-making. Finally, this month, the Re- gents will hold open- hearings to consider proposed bylaw changes which would create a campus-wide judiciary and restructure the Of- fice of Student Affairs. Since last summer, the individ- ual schools and colleges have con- trolled virtually all discipinary procedures under systems of in- terim rules. These regulations were passed in the face of expected long delays" in the bylaw revisions and the long-standing refusal of Joint Judiciary Council to enforce rules not made by the students. Revisions in sections of the by- laws dealing with a University Council-a tripartite legislative body-and a Committee on Com- munications have been considere previously by the Regents, an final drafts ;Are being submitte to them this month. Copies of all four sections hav also been submitted tp facult members, administrators!and stu dent government representative for criticism. The proposed revisions were de veloped by an ad hoc committe of students, faculty and admin istrators which was formed afte release of the Hatcher Commission report. The committee, plagued by con stantly changing membership an a seeming inability to decide ona time and place to meet, has no yet completed consideration of th OSA restructuring and is still spli on. the exact form the new judi ciary should take. Nonetheless, committee chair man Mike Koeneke, Student Gov- consider - ernment Council president, says by leg d the committee decided it was nec- parto d essary to produce tentative drafts its jui d of these revisions for fresh out- counci side criticism, the n e Committee m e m b e r Steve Regl y Schwartz, Grad, explains, "If we ordina - didn't get a draft to the Regents be eni s this month, they would begin to proval wonder where the thing was."

The pres- ent draft states: "No student shall have his enrollment in a course or program terminated except by a judicial proceeding or for reasons of ex- hibited incompetence in the spe- cific subject matter of a course' or program; nor shall any student be given a course grade not based entirely on his exhibited com- petence in the specific subject matter of the course." Under terms of the proposed new bylaws, the members of any cooperative, fraternity, sorority, or residence hall living unit, any fed- eration of these, or the students in any school or college may es- tablish a government. The judiciaries thus established, together with the Central Student Judiciary and any judiciaries which may be established by SGC, would be "the only judical bodies competent to exercise original jurisdiction in cases involving students." This provision is controversial in the case of school and college government, which has tradition- ally been a faculty stronghold, Koeneke said he expects a great deal of criticism of the judiciary bylaws from all sides, "because everyone has his own idea of what a judiciary should be," but he identified thefaculty as the most likely source or discontent. The revisions dealing with OSA policy-making, which were pro- posed in large part by a subcom- miteee of the Student Relations Committee, call for a substantial increase in student influence over decisions.. The present draft proposes, that a Student Services Policy Board of from nine to 15 members, with one-half plus one members being students and the remainder fac- ulty, as the primary determiner of general policy in the office. The student members would be appointed by SGC, with at least one-third graduate and profes- sional students. The faculty mem- bers would be appointed by SACUA, composed of at least one- third assistant professors or lower- ranking faculty and at least one- third associate professors or above. Each administrative unit of the office, renamed the Office of Stu- dent Services, would !have its own policy board to set policy for that unit. The draft also calls for a stu- dent to be employed by the office as official student lobbyist, "to supplement but not replace the vice president or student services." In addition, the draft stipulates that the Regents seat, without vote but with full speaking privi- leges, a student chosen by SGC. students and the remainder fac- fi.

He reiterated, however, that if they fail to leave Ford Hall, they will "be suspended forwith and : face charges leading to expulsion."

Mhoon, housing commission director. The resignation came abruptly during a debate between Dr. Albert Wheeler, state ;chairman of the NAACP, and hous- ing commission chairman Lyndon Welch. The debate con- cerned the propriety of Mrs. Mhoon's attempt to set up a public housing tenants association. Following her 'announcement of intent to resign, Mrs. Mhoon said, "I can't work and take a lot of abuse fronm the commissioners and the pub- lic." She then walked out of the meeting.

Until now, the RC has unoffi- cially observed a policy of almost complete freedom of visitation. However, the problems causedI tion's standards were an in-e ternal matter for them to decide. The controversy began last fall when the Cardinal printed alleged obscenities in several issues. The matter the regents found objec- tionable included passages quoted from Wisconsin assigned course readings, such as D. H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover." Editors of the Minnesota Daily and the Michigan State News were later disciplined for their use of alleged obscenities in their coverage of the Wisconsin con-R troversy. In their action, the Wisconsin regents passed a resolution saying' the Cardinal should be allowed to publish on campus only as long as it meets the standards of the Wis- consin Daily Newspaper League. and the Wisconsin Press Associa- tion. However, Rina Steinzor, Car- dinal editorial page editor, said there would be no change in the ' HUD PROVIDES 128,0O0. architects to tackle ghetto sions so far, Miss Fred explained. Dean Robertson emphasized, that the open-open policy and free flow wthin the community are not being changed. "The' measures are simply to give the community members more priva- cy," he, said "The open-open and visitation policies are not off. These actions have no effect on the philosophy of the college or the freedoms excercised by its members." Robertson said, that the impor- tant thing is "not to over-react." However, University Housing Di- rector John Feldkamp regarded the attack as "a very serious in- cident." "We have recommended for a long time that they have escorts and improve their secur- ity," he said. "But the basic secur- ity comes only from the vigilance of the residents." The issues which resulted in Mrs. Mhoon's resignation are: -Objections by tenants to spe- cific instances of enforcement of federal public housing regulations, which allow only single families to dwell in buildings designated for that purpose. -The formation of an associa- tion of public housing tenants un- der the impetus of Mrs. Mhoon. -Personal and political objec- tions to Mrs. Mhoon and the hous- ing "commission, including charges of racism. Nearly all of the incidents seem to involve confusion of facts, lack of communication and mistrust of motives between the parties in- volved. The tension began at the Dec. 12 meeting of the commission, a group of angry tenants and their relatives attacked Mrs. Mhoon verbally, for what they felt was improper enforcement of a federal housing statute. The statute in question p r o- hibits more than one family from living in federally funded build- ings designed to be single family dwellings. See CITY, Page 8 bus funds By TOBE LEV Ann Arbor may seek federal financial aid in its struggle for a workable municipal bus system. All the information needed for application for federal funds has been ,gathered, and the city could begin to receive aid as early as May or June, says John Robbins, director of parking and, traffic engineering. City subsidy to the present bus system runs nearly $15,000 per month, and irate city councilmen have threatened to break the city's contract with the St. John Trans- portation Co. which manages and operates the system. When the city originally con- tracted with the St. John Co. last summer, the subsidy was predicted to run only $2,500 per month. ' City officials say 'new equip- ment is needed to reduce the staggering cost of the present sys- tem which has been plagued by exorbitant maintenance fees and a lack of riders. Council will discuss the bus sit- uation at its meeting Monday night and is expected to decide whether to continue to subsidize a public bus system i the city, Robbins says. If the decision is affirmative, a report will be prepared and for- warded to the housing and urban. development department. The report would include the re- sult of a short-range study which has compiled the basic informa- tion required by the federal gov- ernment. This study answers such questions as the number of pas- sengers serviced in recent years, the cost of operation, the average monthly and yearly revenue of the system and a recommendation for equipment, for example, the size of the buses requested. Another study will be finished in time for the council meeting, and will be included in the report to Washington if necessary. This study will answer broader questions, such as the potential By NADINE COHODAS The University's architecture depart- ment is out to help rebuild the ghetto. And it wants black architects as partners in the effort. After acting on its own to achieve these aims, the architecture department has re- ceived federal assistance. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced in Wash- ington Tuesday that two grants totalling $128,000 will be made available to the University to aid the education of archi- tects and city planners from underprivi- ledged minority groups. One grant for $90,000 will be given di- rectly to the University to work for the Working relationships and "educational interchanges" with other universities will be encouraged, Larson adds. He says na- tionwide efforts will be made to recruit and counsel underpriviledged and minority group students "who wish to go into pro- fessions dealing with housing and allied urban development problems." In addition to working with HUD and other related federal agencies, Larson plans to work with various private and industrial organizations concerned with urban affairs. The other grant, totalling $38,000, will not be issued directly to the University but rather to the South Eastern Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG). high school students and undergraduates in the work-study groups. Paraskevopoulos says there are two gen- eral goals in both projects. One, he ex- plains, is increasin~g the number of archi- tecture students from inner city groups. The other is to increase understanding of housing needs of inner city groups. In black communities, Paraskevopoulos adds, "The idea of becoming an architect is not a part of their lives." "Most people who continue their educations become teachers, social workers or maybe doctors," he says..
