legislation
proposed
By SAM DAMREN
Two bills designed to curb
college disruptions and establish
decency standards for campus
publications were introduced Wed-
nesday into the State Legislature
by Sen. Harvey Lodge (R-Water-
ford).
However, other legislators say
the bills are not likely to become
law.
Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann
Arbor) explained the Lodge bills
represent a rash of legislation
from a few "aggrieved" legislators,
who have responded to the "bom-
bardment" of criticism concern-
