faculty meeting
for first time
By RUSS GARLAND
The English department
faculty meeting last night was
attended by two undergrad-
uate English students for the
first time in the department's
history.
The opening of faculty meetings
to students was approved by a
full English department meeting
about two weeks ago, "There was
plenty of hesitation, plenty of
doubt," said English Department
Chairman Russell Fraser, "b u t

mendation that it was urgent and

The decision arose from a series
of "informal" discussion between
Fraser and three representatives.
from the English student steering
committee. .
"I've come to think of the Eng-
lish departments as a comprehen-
sive structure in which all mem-
bers have a place," said Fraser.
Fraser explained that last
night's faculty meeting was not a
particularly interesting meeting
for students to attend, the main
Item on the agenda being t h e
election of the executive commit-
tee, but as it was the last faculty
meeting of the year "I wanted to
get the precedent established."
However, Fraser said, "I would
not anticipate tremendous inter-
est on the part of concentrators
though I will assume that repre-
sentatives (from the steering
committee) will always be pre-
sent."
Ann Munster '69, one of the
three steering committee repre-
sentatives agreed: "I doubt that
* there will ever be a great turnout
of students for these meetings
since very little takes place that
is directly in their interest."
The steering committee is a
group of interested undergraduate
English majors working for re-
forms in the department.
The committee with the cooper-
ation of the department has thus
far obtained representation on the
curriculum committee, permission
for undergraduates to enroll in
500 and 600 level courses, and an

The body of a 13-year-old
girl was found yesterday in
Superior Township. The mur-

The partially clothed body of
Dawn Basom, an eighth grader in
Ypsilanti public schools, was dis-

Authorities speculated that a
sex manic may be responsible for
the murders which have all oc-
curred within a 10 mile radius f
each other.
The girl, who was discovered by
a resident yesterday morning, was'
strangled with an electric cord
and had received lacerations'
across her chest and stomach. An
autopsy was ordered.
Sheriff Douglas J. Harvey said
that the murderer "wanted her
to be found." The girl's body lay
within a few feet of Gale Rd. de-

"We won't know exact details

said Harvey. "but there are some

When the trimester system was estab-
lished five years ago, optimistic members
of the University community envisioned
a summertime campus as active as it was
in the fall and winter.
It was hoped that a student enrolling in
the literary college's four-month spring-
summer term would have almost as good
a selection of courses to choose from as
he would during the traditional academic
terms.
But things just haven't worked out that
way for a variety of reasons. Literary col-
lege departments, operating during the

ing," says Associate Dean Hayden Carruth.
While the number of courses offered has
remained constant, more students are en-
rolling for the summer, especially the
spring half-term.
An example is psychology 442, a course
in motivation and behavior. Normally held
down to 20 or 30 students per section dur-
ing the fall and winter, the course moves
into a lecture hall in May to accommodate
100 students in one class.
"We had expected an increment in funds
this year, but we didn't get it," says Prof.
Erasmus Hoch, who coordinates under-
graduate psychology courses in the sum-
