Dally News Analysis
Students arrested during the LSA sit-
in who have not yet been tried may have
been heartened by the acquittal late
Tuesday night of eight others from the
sit-in, but they shouldn't get their hopes
set too high.
Most features of the trial were not
substantially different from any of the
four earlier trials. The defense was
basically the same, the prosecution
wasn't changed, only the jury was dif-
ferent.
Most observers cite the different jury,
a "friendlier" one, as the major reason
far the reversal in the direction of the
earlier decisions.
"This was not a typical Washtenaw
County jury," explains Hugh Davis, one
of the two defense attorneys at Tues-
day's trial. "It was not as antagonistic
as most."

cq uittais:.
Another observer said the change in
juries reflected what he called the weak-
ness of the prosecution's case.
"The prosecution has no case," he
says. "Up to now it has appealed to the
prejudice and anti-student feelings of
the juries." This time, he says, that
tactic didn't work.
And since a different jury will =hear
each of the future cases, none of those
yet to be tried will gain any direct bene-
fit from Tuesday's decision. But there
may be an indirect benefit.
That benefit, says an earlier defense
attorney, John Collins, will be in the
form of influencing later juries. He says
they may tend to "pause and think" be-
fore passing judgment on future de-
fendanlts.
Collins says he thinks the juries up to
now have been simply following the lead
of the first jury.
Davis and the other defense attorney
in Tuesday's trial, Don Koster. both

A

ray of hope

declined to comment on the effect of
this trial on either future trials or ap-
peals because it might prejudice those
appeals.
All of those convicted so far have in-
dicated that they are planning to appeal
the decisions. Official motions to that
effect will be presented after sentencing
Nov. 21.
The defense which has been used so
far, and which won for the first time
Tuesday, was developed by Koster. The
basis of the argument is that individuals
must be proven innocent or guilty on
an individual basis. It is not enough,
Koster argues, to show there was a dis-
turbance in the LSA Bldg. on the night
of Sept. 25-26 and that the defendants
w ere thxere.
"Contention might have been com-
mitted by somebody," explains attorney
Davis, "but they can't make everyone
present pay for the actions of an un-
defined number of people."

The defense lawyers privately question
the constitutionality of the contention
charge as it is presently defined by the
courts, which one attorney calls simply
"breach of the peace."
If defense lawyers decide to question
legally the constitutionality of conten-
tion, the next stop would be for ,them
to file a suit in federal district court.
Assistant County Prosecutor Thomas
Shea refused to comment yesterday on
any aspect at all of the proceedings.
However, Davis said he feels the prose-
cution has based its charge of conten-
tion on the idea that the students sit-
ting-in interfered with the work of the
janitors in the LSA Bldg.
Shea also would not say if there would
be a change in prosecution tactics. But
even if there is not, future defendants
are not much ahead of where they were

CHICAGO A' -- Bobby G. Seale, national chairman of the
Black Panther party, was held in contempt of U.S. District
Court yesterday and sentenced to four years in prison by
Judge Julius J. Hoffman.
Judge Hoffman sentenced Seale to three months in pris-
on for each of 16 incidents of contempt in the trial of the
Panther leader and seven other men on conspiracy charges
growing out of riots at the 1968, Democratic National Conven-r
t ion.
At the same time, Hoffman declared a mistrial for Seale,
separating him from the other defendants. He set April 23
for a new trial of Seale on the conspiracy charges.G

The University yesterday
sent a request for over $12
million in capital outlay funds
for fiscal year 1970-71 to the
state Bureau of the Budget.
Some $4.6 million of the funds
requested are earmarked for the
planning of new projects, while
the remainder will go for reno-
vation of existing buildings and
completion of construction already
begun.
In making the request for $12,-
380,345, Vice President for State .
Relations and Planning Arthur M.
Ross said the money will be used
to launch a "broadly based frontal
attack on the renovation and re-
placemelnt problem for the part of
our present campus which is now
40 or more years old."
Ross pointed out in a letter ac-
companying the request that "be-
cause of the tremendous enroll- W
ment increase which was experi- V
enced by the University in the
post-World War II years, replace->'
ment and renovation was virtually ;
abandoned in the flurry of new
construction for a larger student
body."
The most far-reaching project
included in the capital outlay re-V e ed
quest is long-range development

YPSILANTI - A special faculty
investigative committee yesterday
recommended that the Eastern
Michigan University Faculty Sen-
ate severely condemn the adminis-
tration for its actions against the
editor and staff of the Seco~nd
Coming, an underground news-
paper.
The paper, plublished by EMU
students and faculty members,.
was banned from the campus two
weeks ago by President Harold,
Sponberg "because the content is'
una-ceptable to the university."
The Senate, EMU faculty's 60-
man legislative body, discussed the
proposal, and a number of other
proposals concerning the Second
Coming controversy, but failed to
take action on any of them.
A special session was scheduled;
for Wednesday, Nov. 12 for fur-'
ther discussion of the issue.
Many of the faculty members at
yesterday's meeting seemed in
agreement with the majority re-
port's general statements in sup-
port of the Second Coming.
"We hold that the university'
administration has acted wrongly
in obstructing the sale and dis-
tribution of the student paper."

Judge Hoffman's ruling appear-
ed to resolve the impasse growing
out of Seale's repeated interrup-
tions of the trial xvith the demands
that lie be allowed to defend him-
self.
Seale contends he has the right
to defend himself since his chosen:
lawyer, Charles R. Garry of San
Francisco, was unable to partici-
pate in the trial because of an
illness.
Last week Hoffman ordered that'
Seale be bound and gagged in an
effort to stifle the disruptions.
But, Hoffman relented without
explanation Monday, and Seale
continued to voice his demands to
cr'oss-examine xitnesses.
The dispute reached the break-
ing point earlier yesterday when
defense lawyers William M. Kunst-
ler and Leonard I. Weinglass re-
fused to cross-examine a Cali-
fornia sheriff's deputy wx'ho test-'
ified about Seale. They said they;
did not represent Seale.
Hoffman excused the jury and
'recessed the session 90 minutes
early and spent more than three
hours preparing his contempt ci-,
tation.
He cited 16 instances of con-

They worked on the idea through'

themselves as an official ad hoc'

and John Fongers, presented the
plan to the faculty on Sept. 10.
