The faculty did not formally cancel classes for the day, al- though some professors are expected to do so. The faculty asked the administration to make facilities available to any, student or faculty member who wants to conduct moratorium activities. The administration of the Flint campus has made no SACUtA support indicates for joint bookstore control Arrest of Collins dispuLte(l By IRA H1OFFMAN The attorney for John Col- lins, accused murderer of Eastern Michigan University coed Karen Sue Beineman, charged yesterday that Collins was arrested illegally. Speaking at the third pre-trial hearing at Washtenaw County Circuit Court, defense attorney Robert A. Francis claimed that police arrested Collins "solely for the purpose of obtaining a finger- print sample." Francis moved to suppress evi- dence taken from Collins' car, room, and the basement and in- cinerator of the house where he was staying. Francis charged that the search warrants used against Collins did not "list with particularity the items which were suspected to be contained in the said automobile and said room." He argued that the warrants' were "just asking for everything under the sun," and resembled "a fishing expedition." Francis also said that the search warrants did not list any reason- able belief for the police agencies involved to believe that the items which were seized were contained in Collins' car or room. The Washtenaw County Sher- iff's Department, the Ann Arbor police, the Ypsilanti police, and the Michigan State police, all took part in the search for the mur- derer of the seventh girl sexually molested and killed in the area in two years. Francis said that under Mich- igan law, hearsay evidence or be- lief or suspicion are all insuffi- cient reason for a magistrate to issue a search warrant. He claimed that the search warrants "were issued on hear- say." He gave as an example the con- tention that the warrants asked for the fingerprints of Joan Schell, the first victim, in Collins' car.: However, Francis explained that Collins' car was a 1968 Olds which couldn't have been manufactured before the autumn of 1967 while Miss Schell was murdered in the' summer of 1967. Francis also allegedly charged that police were working from a list of motorcycles which did not match any of those owned by Collins. He claimed that the blood and hair samples did not constitute valid evidence. "The blood samlen was A. 40 per cent of the population has A blood. Blood type does not con- stitute evidence," he argued. See ILLEGAL, Page 6 *'comment on the faculty's action. The Flint moratorium is sim- ilar to activities expected on this campus and on many other cam- puses nationwide. Although t h e administration here has also not cancelled classes, President Rob- ben Fleming has said he will make some University facilities avail- able for discussion of the tvar. A tentative program for the day at, Flint drawn up by a joint student-faculty committee, calls for workshop and panel discus- sions. a massive rally and a me- morial service for the soldiers killed in Vietnam from Genessee County, which includes Flint. The faculty resolution called for a "collectivepublic expression of our condemnation of the contin- uing military involvement in Viet- nam and for a reversal of na- tional priorities away from mill- tarism in all its guises and tow- ards social reform in this nation." The call was made, the faculty said, "in keeping with the concept of the University as teacher, as guardian of civilized values, and as a critical and moral intelligence which may lead the community to ponder its courses of action .,. Flint College public relations head Richard McElroy said he ex- pects little campus opposition to the moratorium. He also predicted that citizens from largely working class Flint will also participate in the discussions. One campus organizer was not so optimistic, however. Prof. Frank Richardson, who helped direct the action at Flint, was skeptical about community support for the mora- , torium. He said Flint citizens would not likely favor the devotion of class time to discussions on the -,var. Richardson said the idea of in- cluding Flint in the national mira- torium movement germinated in a golf shop conversation he had with a few friends. SL CIA cluiirnuinProf. Jose ph1*Plyne list DEFENSE MOVE: Attorney claims m1 identity in 'Chicago By JENNY STILLER Special To T ' Daily CHICAGO-'Chicago 8' defense attorney William Kunstler stir- prised the court yesterday by con- fronting a prosecution witness with abear'ded, helmeted, "ex- hibit" named Robert Levin and asking whether perhaps witness had confused the stranger with defendant Jerry Rubin. The witness, Sgt. Robert Mur- ray, of the Chicago Police Depart- ment, denied that he made a mis- take, insisting that Levin was "too tall" to be the man he saw in- veigh against police in Lincoln Park on Aug. 25, 1968. Defendant Rennie Davis ex- plained at a news conference that the defense was convinced that something was wrong with Mur- ray's testimony because they knew that Rubin, who was allegedly seen wearing a blue and white football helmet and throwing a cigarette butt at policemen, -ever. smokes and never wore a helmet during the convention week Ois- turbances. Rubin, serving a 45 day "n- tence for a misdemeanor com- mitted in California, was in jail and unable to meet with reporters. Davis claimed that Rubin was not even in Lincoln Park on the day stated, and that the plain- clothes officer my have made a mistake, since a Yippie named David Boyd had been followed for days preceding the convention by police detectives who believed he was Rubin. By RICK PERLOFF The Senate Advisory Com- mittee on University Affairs (SACUA) indicated informal support for the concept of a student-faculty controlled bookstore at a three-hour meeting with students yester- day. However SACUA would not commit itself formally at a spe- cial meeting later. Following the discussion with -i students, other faculty members -i and Arthur Ross, vice president for state relations and planning, SACUA called for another meet- ing with students Tuesday to dis- cuss "proposals for a student-fac- ulty controlled bookstore which will accommodate the concerns of the Regents." During the discussion there was little disagreement raised on stu- dent-faculty control. SACUA vice- enst 1 (1 uestion chairman Prof. Robert Knauss of . the Law School said this was a. "given," and said he wanted to spend time ironing out other as- pects of the issue. One faculty source later indi- cated that the concept of student- stuk nbe acceptable to most fac- ulty members.

Haynsworth Jr. to the Supreme Court in the face of further senatorial requests that the nomination be withdrawn. The President's personal intervention came at the climax of a day of administration efforts to blunt the attacks on Haynsworth who is at present a judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Earlier in the day a Republican senator, who declined to be quoted by name, had underscored Nixon's concern by tell- ing a reporter: "The White House says this is a do-or-die thing. We have to have this." - ---~ Nixon in a letter to Sen. Hugh " Scott, the Republican leader from Pennsylvania, expressed hope that ) the Senate will "proceed with dis- patch" to give Haynsworth the approval of the Judiciary Com- mittee and confirmation from the floor.

Prof. Weinberg 'DO-OR-DIE' ISSUE: Marty McLaughlin Pliys Ed makes change over t0 'eCCi1Ve-o11V pTro grams By DAVID JOHN KISH The Physical Education De- partment has begun to rebuild its program to appeal to freshmen and upperclassmen on an elective basis. The changes are a result of the dropping of the required phy- sical education by the University beginning this semester. The physical education program, which has until this year re- lied on the freshman requirement to augment interest, has seen its enrollment drop to less than 25 per cent of last year's level. It has thus had to add many new features to become more attrac- tive. According to Professor Howard Leibee this has resulted in "no tuition and only nominal fees to cover equipment cost. In addition all courses are on a pass-fail basis and many art, now co-educa- tional." Marie Hartwig, Professor of Physical Educational said "new courses such as scuba diving and skiing are being offered" as well as a new variety of courses still in planning that should appeal to many students. She also added, "the flexibility now afforded the department should encourage students, if they want a course dnot offered, to ask that it be added." Miss Joan Peters, an instructor in Women's Physical Education says. "the instructors are happier because they now have kids whoE wanted to take the class." Allan Smith, Vice-President for Academic Affairs, said the initial' reason behind the ending of the Irequirement was a need to make better use of the resources at hand and a need to increase the role of the Intermural program. "I never was particularly happy with the freshman requirement," Smith added. He stated the phys- ical education department had been in from the start on the dis- cussions to drop the requirement. Last spring the committee issued a report to the Regents which lead to the abolition of the requirement. The report stated, "The university is an institution of higher learning and we see no demonstrable con- nection between fulfilling the functions of the university and a compulsory pr'ogram of physical education." F On tod(1V'S Professor Paul Hunsicker, asso- ciate director of physical educa- tion recalled the department's stand on the requirement. "We' suggested that some type of screening test be given, so only students who obviously needed it would be required to take it." The Regents rejected the testing. Prof. Hunsicker also reflected a feeling generally shared in the dept. that it was too early to as- sess the longe range effect an all elective progi'am would have. "I predict from studies we have done on other colleges that have done away with their required pro-; gram, that in five years we will have just as many students in the elective program as we previously had in the required one," he said.

The department introduced three changes aimed at easing the students' load and making college a little more productive. All department undergrad- uate courses were increased students work out a program with their faculty counselor. The senior seminar and the 30 hour over-all credit require- ments for the major remain. Students will take pretty much the same area courses as before," Prof. Glen Waggoner predicts. "Most students real- ize the importance of securing a well-rounded history b a c k- ground." Acting chairman Prof. Sidney Fine is quick to warn that the benefit from the history cours- es hlt elects." The department had hoped the entire college would follow its lead. A proposal to that ef- fect was given to the LSA cur- riculum committee, but when no action was taken the depart- ment asked that at least i t s courses all be given for four hours credit. All hope is not lost, however. Fine says he hopes his depart- ment's action will have a "band- student-faculty curriculum com- mittee. The third change --in o r e counselors and a lower stu- dent-counselor ratio --- is not unrelated to the other changes. "The counselor will become less a bookkeeper whose main concern is that the student meet stipulated requirements a n d mnorĀ° an advisor who discusses with the student the logic of the program that he wishes to take." Fine says. economics, with 415 students, has only three counselors. "We hope this expanded pro- gram will help preserve the spirit of 'breadth-plus-depth' approach formally outlined by the old field system," he adds. The reaction of the students to the department's changes seems to be largely favorable. Most appreciated, they say, is the decision to raise the credit hours. c P , . aV CC. 5 iT ' flT lIu 0
