By ROB BIER
In a heavy first day of balloting in the Student Govern-
ment Council election, some 5,000 students turned out to vote.
Election director Bill Vickers summed up the general
reaction when he said, "It's the bookstore issue that's doing it.
From 10 to 20 per cent of the ballots only have votes on the
referenda."
Vickers also pointed out that voting is usually split evenly
between the two days "and with that in mind, we could have
a record turnout."
The previous record was set in November 1966 when the

The Eastern Michigan Univer-
sity disciplinary review board has
scheduled an appeal hearing onl
the case of the Second Coming, an
underground newspaper, f o r to-
morrow afternoon.
In a hearing Sunday night, the
review board, composed of three
students and three faculty mem-
bers, agreed to hear the adminis-
tration appeal of a Student Court'
decision exempting the Second
Coming from administrative reg-
ulations.
The Student Court ruled Nov. 1
that an EMU regulation prohibit-
ing s a 1 e of "commercial" items
without the permission of the vice
president for business anid finance
did not apply to newspapers.
In the decision, the Court said
the regulation endangered the
First Amendment guarantee of
freedom of speech and press, and
said the "only legal means of cen-
sorship" available to the adminis-
tration was through civil courts.
Thomas Aceto, EMU d e a n of
students, termed t h e Student
Court ruling "unacceptable" and
appealed the case to the discipli-
nary review board.
The disciplinary review board is
empowered by the EMU student
body constitution to make the "fi-
nal judicial decision" on the case
by either' upholding the Student
Court or by reinterpreting the reg-
ulation and sending the case back
for a retrial.
EMU administrators have inter-
preted "final judicial decisions" to
mean they have the power to ov-
errule the review board on an ar'-
bitrary basis however.
"The student constitution is a
pretty inadequate document," said
Robert Zumwinkle, vice president
for student affairs. Zumwinkle
claimed the administration h a d
final authority in all disiplinary'
matters.
Zumwinkle and Aceto took uni-'
lateral disciplinary action last
Friday when they suspended EMU
student the Rev. David Barsky, 20,
for distributing the paper on cain-
pus. The 'suspension c a in e after
the Rev. Barsky's actions were re-
ported to Aceto by two campus
policemen.

the supplying of grade infor-
mation to draft boards drew
9,900 voters to the polls.
Since the two-day voting system
went into use in the November
1967 election, the largest turnout
was 7,300. That was in March
1968.
Candidate Jerry DeGrieck was
especially pleased with the turn-
out because 'it might mean that
SGC is recovering from some of
the damage it, suffered in last
spring's election, which many peo-
ple criticized as being unfair.
There was a lot of dissatisfaction
with SGC."
One result of that dissatisfac-
tion was the action taken by Tay-~
for House in South Quad. The
house council voted unanimously
to ban all campaigning in the
house and urged its members not
to vote in the SGC election as a
form of protest. The house also
used its own funds to print leaf-
lets and distribute them in the
dorm.
House president Ron Forman
explained the reasons for the ac-
tion. "We feel that SGC has been
spending its money on projects
which do not have the support of
many students, such as Mayor
(Robert) Harris' campaign and
the LSA Bldg. sit-in. Then, of
course, there is the issue of the
run-off last spring, which we feel
was a hoax," he said.
Early in the evening, SGC's
Mike Farrell correctly predicted
that there would be a "sizeable

WASHINGTON (A - - The Su-
preme Court upheld today the
power of university police to ar-
rest students for displaying "dis-
ruptive" antiwar signs during
silent protests of the Vietnamn war.
The court took his step by re-
fusing to review the conviction
of Robert K. Zwicker, a student
at the University of Wisconsini
who help up a picture of a na-
palmed boy outside a university
placement office. The vote was

orderly conduct law was too vague
to be constitutional and that it
had been used to suppress his
freedom of speech.
The Wisconsin supreme court'
approved both the conviction and
the law in a split decision last
February.
Zwicker was one of several stu-
dents who stood outside the place-
ment office in February 1967 to
protest interviews being held with-
in by the Dow Chemical Co., a

8 to 1. manufacturer of napalm.
Zwicker was sentenced in Dane University police told the stu-
County Circuit Court in 1967 to a dents they could stage their demn-
fine of $100 or 30 days in jail. His onstration but could not bring
appeal claimed the state's dis- signs into the building.

The napalm picture Zwicker held
over his head was taken from a
national magazine. It showed the
effects of napalm on a small Viet-
namese boy.
The high court made no comn-
ment in dismissing Zwicker's ap-
peal from the ruling by the state
supreme court. Justice William 0.
Douglas dissented, maintaininga
the high court should have heard
the case.
In the appeal Zwicker saidI
neither he nor any of his com-;
panions engaged in any act of
force. violence or threat and did
not obstruct anyone.
In other action, the court fol-
lowed up its recent crackdown on
southern school segregation by
turning down an appeal of 44
Louisiana school districts which
sought to kep "freedom of choice"
school systems.
The high court took the action
by refusing to review a lower cour't
ruling against the Louisiana school
boar'ds. The rejection was an-
nounced in an unsigned order'
without comnent.
The court had already ruled in
an important 1968 case that "free-
dom of choice" plains were invalid
when they were clearly failing to
bring about desegregation.
The court did agree to decide
