REPORT TO REGENTS:

to

By URBAN LEHNER
Co-Editor
University President Robben W. Fleming will advise the
Regents that existing faculty regulations on disruptive stu-
dent conduct are adequate, and will ask them not not to pass
new bylaws on student disorders until action can be taken
on the proposed University Council.
Fleming's proposal, which will be made to the Regents
at their July 18-19 meetings, follows reports by the deans of
the University's 17 schools and colleges that present regula-
Stions cover incidents of dis-

OSA

Criticize
interim
proposal
By ALISON SYMROSKI
"The administration's move to-
ward interim rules regulating stu-
dent non-academic conduct is
flaunting the co-operative spirit
we've tried to develop," charges
SGC vice-president Bob Neff, '69.
Student reaction was over-
whelmingly negative following the
decision by SACUA and at least
two colleges to impose temporary
regulations on non-academic stu-
dent life,
The regulations are to remain
in effect until the Hatcher Com-
mission report is implemented. An
ad hoc group of student and fac-
ulty leaders will formulate a new
University bylaw on student con-
duct for presentation to the Re-
gents in the fall.
BAD FAITH
"The administration is definite-
ly not acting in good faith," Neff
contends. He maintains that ac-
tions to govern student life by
individual colleges, and to adjudi-
'cate non-academic cases by
boards where students are a mi-
nority are both directly contrary
to the commission's report.
The Hatcher report recommends,
a University Council to legislate
concerning non-academic conduct,
and a judiciary to hear cases.
One member of the ad hoc com-
mittee, Tom Westerdale, Grad, is
"concerned that passing these in-
terim rules may make the task
of the committee much more dif-
ficult."
These rules can be expected to,
fragment the committee into
schools, increasing the problems
in coming to an agreement on a
bylaw to present to the Regents.
IMPATIENCE
The Regents, Westerdale says,
have expressed impatience with
the delay in implementing the
Hatcher commission report.
Westerdale disputes the neces-
sity of interim rules in general.
"SGC already has regulations on
disruptive conduct," he says, "and
JJC has pledged to enforce these."
Stuart Katz, president of Grad-
uate Assembly, charges that in-
terim rules for the graduate school
are "stretching the definition of
academic behavior" in order to
regulate non-academic student
conduct.
"We're a little suspicious of the

ruptive student conduct or
will be revised to cover them.
Fleming said he did not want
to present the proposed bylaw
creating a University Council to
the Regents until it could be re-
viewed by members of Faculty As-
sembly and Student Government
Council.
Since these bodies will not meet
until fall semester, he does not
expect the proposal to be ap-
proved and University Council-
passed rules to go into effect until,
September or October.
If approved by the Regents, the
University Council would legislate
on disruptive student conduct. It
would be composed of students,
faculty members, and admiristra-
tors.
In an interview yesterday,
Fleming stressed the interim
character of the faculty rules, ob-
jected to existing SGC rules on
legal and philosophical grounds,:
and took issue with contentions'
that interim faculty rules would
undermine the effectivenes of the
University Council once it is es-
tablished.
The litetrary college has re-
leased a statement outlining the
rules it will consider in effect until
the creation of the University
Council. (The text appears in the
Daily Official Bulletin.)
The Law School has amended
its code to cover interference by
law students with the functioning
of the University.
The graduate school will release
its interim rules today,
According to Fleming, Univer-
sity lawyers feel that penalties on
SGC rules would not stand up in
civil court tests because "SGC
was never delegated authority to
pass rules."

COURSE EVALUATION:
rcofrp

By MARCIA ABRAMSON
Confused?
The long-awaited Course Evalu-
ation Booklet, which goes on sale
today in the Fishbowl, may dispel
some of your worries. But unfor-
tunately, the booklet has problems
of its own.
If you're a freshman, the 50
page orientation edition offers you
some valid advice and some
worthwhile evaluations.
If you're not, the CEB commit-
tee promises a full scale evaluation
of about 80 per cent of literary
college classes at the end of next
year.
The orientation edition includes
only 45 introductory classes. Al-
though some of the evaluations

are fairly complete, most are pret-
ty superficial.
Out of the numerous sections of
English 231 offered by the Uni-
versity, the booklet only includes
one class. Only three sections of
Psychology 101 were evaluated.
A typical evaluation reads: "An
overwhelming majority of the
class, 77 per cent, felt that Chem-
istry 103 was not particularly dif-
ficult - "about right." In fact,
it seems to be somewhat easier
than most other introductory
courses; it ranked lower in diffi-
culty than two thirds of the sur-
vey courses.
Probably the most valuable sec-
tions of the booklet for freshmen

contain the suggestions on the
curriculum from the Literary Col-
lege Steering Committee.
The academic maze is fairly well
explained: pre-classification, drop-
ping and adding, complaint and
counseling channels.
"If you want to take a course
that doesn't exist," the booklet
says, "find five others who would
be interested, and a professor
willing to teach it. Generally, one
signs up for this course under
'College Honors 199' (it is not
necessary to be in honors to do
this)."
The booklet included reactions
of some professors to their evalua-
tions and revealed some surprising
contradictions.
In one class, students estimated
their average grade as B. However,
the professor responded, "My
gradebook showed that nearly one
half the students in this class
received C's."
Another instructor drew atten-
tion to the booklet's failure to
mention the requirement of Pro-
ject Outreach for Psychology 101
students. Outreach alone requires
about for hour a week.
The survey will be substantially
revised for the next booklet. "It
wasn't accurate as we had hoped,"
said Jo Ann King, '69, personnel
and advertising chairman of CEB.
The next booklet also promises
"a more objective evaluation of
data."
Financing for the booklet comes
primarily from Student Govern-
ment Council, which set up the
booklet committee last September.
SGSC has pleded $6,000 to $10,000
depending on the committee's
needs.

University President Robben W.
Fleming said yesterday he will
submit a plan for the reorgan-
ization of the Office of Student
Affairs at the July Regents' meet-
ing.
Fleming said the reorganization
will be based on recommendations
of the Student Relations Commit-
tee of the Senate Advisory Com-
mittee on University Affairs.
In a recently completed report,
the SRC suggested that non-
academic discipline be removed
from the auspices of the student
affairs office, that the office be
renamed the Office of Student
Services and that the position of
the vice president for student af-
fairs be changed to the vice presi-
dent for student services.
HATCHER REPORT
All three reforms had been rec-
omended by the Presidential Com-
mission of the Student Role in
Decision Making, issued last
March.
In detailing the new functions
and duties of the chief adminis-
trator of the OSS, SRC said the
vice president should "be an 'ad-
vocate for student services and
at the same time be capable of
balancing student services against
other needs of the University com-
munity."
The SRC restructuring recom-
mendations include provisions for
a policy committee composed of
an equal number of students and
faculty to act as a significant de-
cision-making force in the OSS.
The SRC report made suggest-
ions of possible additions to the
responsibilities of the new struc-
ture. "Among those that might be
added are the admissions office,
the intra-mural program, and the
University Activities Center."
SEARCH PANEL
The group also recommended a
Joint student-faculty committee
be appointed to seek out and
choose a new vice president for
student services.
SRC suggested the committee
be composed of faculty and stu-
dents chosen by Fleming from a
panel of' prospective committee-
men nominated by Student Gov-
ernment Council and Faculty As-
sembly.
According to the report the new
vice president should have the fol-
lowing capabilities:
"He should be a person with
academic-educational orientation
toward universities.
CONFLICTING VIEWS
"He should be able to work with
diverse groups representing con-
flicgting points of view.
"He should have a strong af-
finity for working on a personal
level with students, both under-
graduate and graduate.
"He should be a person who is
innovative in thinking.
"He should be a person who is
aware of and values social needs.

DETROIT VP) - A Detroit
Crimingl Court judge, voicing
sharp criticism of John Hersey's
recently published book "The Al-
giers Motel Incident," ordered yes-
terday a six-month delay in the
brief of a white policeman accused
of killing one of three Negro
youths slain at the motel during
last July's riot.
Judge Robert Colombo said that
although he had not read the
book, its reviews have been
"highly prejudicial and inflama-
tory in nature."
ThehJudge said from the bench
that he thought the book was
"designed to deliberately be re-
leased at a time that would pre-
vent a fair and impartial trial in
this case."
Colombo threatened to cite any-
one connected with the case with
contempt of court if they discuss
the matter further with news-
men.
"I don't want the press to cover
this case any further than what
transpires in the courtroom in
this case," he added, "and any-
body in the future who takes it
