POLLUTION AND ENVIRONMENT

Conservationists plan

By PAT MAHONEY
In the s p r i n g of 1965 the
University hosted t h efirst
teach-in on Vietnam. Next
spring the University will host
another first - a teach-in on
pollution and the environment.
Taking their cue from t h e
Vietnam teach-in, which swept
the country after its initial pop-
ularity here, the environmental
organizers expect the March
12-14 teach-in to be a pilot for
other campuses.
Right now planning is only in
the preliminary stages. Teach-
in sponsors, most from natural
resources school, want to in-
volve students from other disci-
plines and have set up a mass
meeting for tonight, 7:30 in the
UGLI Multipurpose Room.
The general theme of t h e
'U' dorms

teach-in will be to expose crit-
ical environmental problems
and to explore possible guide-
lines for action.
Organizers hope people from
outside the University will also
become involved in planning the
teach-in. High school students
and local governmental officials
- including one from the Hu-
ron R i v e r Watershed Council
and the Southeastern Michi-
gan Council of Governments -
have been invited to tonight's
meeting.
The idea of an environmental
teach-in evolved from a conver-
sation between Sen. Gaylord
Nelson (D-Wis.) a n d Prof.
Spenser Havlick of the natural
resources school in August at a
water pollution conference in
Santa Barbara, Calif.
"Nelson seemed very enthus-

iastic about the idea," Havlick
explains. "He thinks universities
could play an important role in
getting action on pollution
problems."
Nelson is now calling for a
national day of environmental
teach-ins for late next spring
or early next fall-modeled af-
ter the one here. A separate of-
fice is being opened in Wash-
ington to coordinate national
planning for the teach-ins.
Art Hansen and Doug Scott,
both graduate students in nat-
ural resources, are coordinating
plans here. They will speak to-
night along with Prof. James
Swan, who will also give a slide
presentation.
Hansen recently talked to
Nelson and others on Capitol
Hill and participate.d in a stu-
dent conference in West Virgin-

each-i
ia. The student group criticized
President Nixon for allotting
only 1.8 per cent of his $202 bil-
lion budget to environmental
problems.
Scott is a formcer a i d e to
Michigan's Democratic S e n.
Phillip Hart, another supporter
of stricter pollution control.
Teach-in organizers h o p e
"people will become sensitized
about the problems so they be-
come effective a g e n t s of
change." They h o p e teach-in
reverberations echo back to
Washington.
Meanwhile, they need money
for office expenses, preliminary
promotion and reserving build-
ings. They're requesting funds
from inside a n d outside the
University - trying to involve
the entire community directly.

have been a question of contro-
versy among teachers for in o r e
than 18 months. They met with
University officials last March
and a formal discussion, attended
by Cohen, took place Sept. 29.
The request for establishment
of the committee is their response
to the University's request, made
at the Sept. 29 meeting, that
teachers outline a program for
resolving the controversy.
The AAEA has asked in the past
that the University implement a
number of its demands concerning
the teacher training program.
These include more adequat°
preparation of student teachers,
more University supervision of
them, screening and, certifica-
tion of supervisory teachers and
increased compensation for sup-
ervisory teachers.
University officials pointed out
yesterday that Cohen's letter to
the AAEA is not an agreement to
their demands, but only expresses
an interest to "open channels of
communication."
"We want them to understand
that we're ready to talk any time,"
said Assistant Dean Lowell Beach.
"Our response to this is positive.
We attempted to do all we can on
this situation, but haven't been
a'ble to communicate. This letter
will hopefully show our commit-
ment to work with them."

For help in these instances,
you may turn to your resident
advisor. But what can he do?
"We don't like to think of
them as disciplinarians, we
like to think of them as ad-
visors," Hughes says. But what
do you do when a disciplinarian
is the only answer?
Leon West, director of West
Quad, says that in such cases
the director can ask the of-
fending party to leave the dorm.
And since dormito'y residence
is no longer r'eqtuiredl of fresh-
men, "director's will be more
willing to use this punishment
as a recourse, especially because
of the overcrowded situation in
University housing."
One "water-bomber" was fin-
ally caught and fined for his
actions last year, but similar
action has been slow in coming.
Womens' dorms have their
own forms of people problems.
Around 10 p.m. Sunday night
two weeks ago Betsy Barbour
House had its share of troubles
when a few girls got worried at
the sight of two legs sticking
out from under a toilet stall.
They had white socks and
large, obviously masculine, shoes.

ing a lar'ge curly wig. w a s
eventually remnoved with the
help of one girl's date. Another
girl called the Sanford secur-
ity police in tt meantime.
hie man was being usher-
ed to the door when the San-
ford man arrived. The man ran
between the security guards who
did little to help and gave no
chase as he got away.
Other men, maybe the same
man. have apparently invad-
ed other girls' dorms in a sim-
ilar way, and though at least
one suspect has been watched
by police, nothing has b e e n
done to curtail his activities.
"The housing office could at
least provide a night guard .
preferably male -- to challenge
all unescorted men who come
in after a certain hour," says
one irate Barbour girl.
Hughes says, however. that
the housing office has started a
program to hire student guards
for many dorms that need more
protection. However, some houses
have yet to benefit from this
program, including Barbour.
In order to aid prosecution of
thieves, vandals, and intruders,
signs are now posted clearly
wvarning: "This is not a public
building-access is limited to
residents and guests.'
As for dishonest dorm resi-
dents, Hughes says all the Uni-
ver.,ity can do is impress stu-
dents with the fact that "the
University is a metropolitan
community. and people from all
walks of life and types of back-
ground, including thieves, come
to the University."

those of his elderly German host.
"For the older people in Ger-

powerful force protecting their
country from communism. With
the younger people it's just the

"This is good, though since you

There are many differences be-
tween university life in Europe
and life here, the students say.
Christine Bradley, who attended
the University of Aix-Marseille
last year, had to have her student
identification and her passport to
get into the library. She said it
had to be stamped three times to
inform her of which rooms she
could enter. If she needed refer-
ence material of more depth than
the dictionary or encyclopedia, she
had to fill out an in-depth requet
form.

Enough similarities exist to re-
mind one of home. The dormitories
are just as crowded, and you al-
ways get soup for lunch. Camutus
controversies ar'e just as commuon.
Last year in Frieburg, Germany,
Miss Evans counlted "six strikes
at least."
The Junior year abroad program
is changing too. Its directors hope
to widen its appeal and increase
the number of students who may
participate--all the while main-
taining a high standard of acade-
mic excellence.
Last year the University's pro-
gram was granted $120,000 to help
house more students at Frieburg.
The donors, the New York based
Max Kade Foundation, called it
"the best program of its kind con-
ducted at this time."
