Fleming stressed the temporary nature of the appoint- ment -- Mrs. Newell will hold the position only until a search committee finds a permanent replacement for outgoing Vice President Richard L.

Other sources, however, including several prominent students and faculty, suggested Mrs. Newell might be a prime candidate for the recommen- on disruptive student behavior 8 adopt code, grad school rewriting By URBAN LEHNER Co-Editor Almost half of the University's 17 schools and colleges and over half of those attached to the Ann Arbor campus will enforce rules on disruptive student conduct passed last September by Student Government Council until a Univer- sity Council can be established and begin to enact permanent' legislation. Mostof the deans had promised University President Robben W. Fleming that the codes of their colleges either Shad regulations covering inci- C dents of disruptive student conduct or would be revised to cover such incidents by July 0 - 11. interim directive By JOEL BLOCK V Members of Student Govern- ment Council have condemned University President Robben Fle- ming's directive to University schools and colleges to legislate interim rules on non-academic student discipline. A statement approved by six SGC members at a meeting last night said that "SGC does not recognise any non-academic rules formulated during this interim period by any school or college and will use any action necessary to support students tried within any school or college for violation of non-academic regulations." Meeting chairman executive vice president Robert Neff, treas- urer Dennis Webster, ex-officio members Daniel McCreath and Robert Rorke, and at-Large mem- bers E. 0. Knowles and Thomas Westerdale briefly discussed pos- Ssible student demonstrations pro- testing the faculty action but did not reach a decision. The members also urged that, until the new judicial system is established, the various schools and colleges recognise the student judiciary system's authority to adjudicate violations of non-aca- demic regulations. Neff called the action a "posi- tion statement and a warning to the schools and colleges in the event they try to adjudicate in non-academic affairs of students." "This action leaves us flexible According to a Daily poll con- ducted yesterday, the education, and the engineering, literary and music, natural resources, public healt7 and social work schools and the engineering, literary and pharmacy colleges have adopted the rules passed by SGC, which read: r*adIndividual or mass acts that destroy University property or significantly interfere with the free movement of persons or things, on the campus, are pro. hibited. 0 Intentional disruption of University functions by depriving others of needed quiet, light, heat, or other physical conditions of work, is prohibited. The rules will be enforced by the judiciary bodies in the schools and colleges which normally ad- Judicate cases involvingconduct in the classroom, such as cheat- ing and plagiarism. The graduate school may re- lease a statement of its interim proceedings this afternoon. The school reportedly was considering a draft of nine rules, including one which prohibited the use by graduate students of narcotics on University property or "Univer- sity-controlled" property and at University-sponsored events (see letter, editorial page). An informed source said yes- terday that the draft of nine rules was being rewritten. There was no indication what the content of the new graduate school rules would be. Officials in the architecture and design college and medical school were not available for comment -Daily-Richard Lee Summer's students Part of the influx of strictly summer students included teachers who are working on advanced degrees. Many of these §tudents' are nuns who teach in Catholic schools around the state. ASK THE DAILY: Why . is the sky purple? Sunday liquor Washtenaw County's Board of Supervisors voted yesterday to legalize some Sunday liquor sales in the county. The measure passed was the most liberal allowed under a new state law permitting individual counties to legalize Sunday sales. Liquor may be served in res- taurants which do more than 50 per cent of their gross business in thge sale of food. The sales will be legal after 2 p.m. Support for the measure cen- tered around the contention that Washtenaw County is becoming a tourist center and a convention area. Members of the board were apparently concerned that the county might lose some business if Sunday sales remained illegal. The measure passed by the board allows individual townships, villages and municipalities to de- clare Sunday sales invalid within their own borders if they desire. Supervisor William Papineau, one of the two members of the county board who voted against the proposal, said that his oppo- sition was based on the "obvious reasons." "There is a correlation between the use of alcohol and traffic ac- cidents, and the more liquor that's consumed the more accidents there could be," Papineau added. dation of the joint student- faculty committee which will be named soon. Mrs. Newell was out of town and unavailable for comment yes- terday. Since Fleming became president last year, Mrs. Newell has acted as a troubleshooter for the presi- dent and served as one of his closest advisers. She has handled tasks for the president, including the research- ing of his speech to the Detroit Economics Club attempting to justify out-of-state enrollment. The appointment of Mrs. New- ell as vice president for student services reflects the expected re- structuring of the Office of Stu- dent Affairs. If the Regents approve Flem- ing's reorganization plans at their July meeting next week, the unit will become the Office of Student Services. Included in the restructuring will be the removal of disciplinary responsibility of the office, a chief recommendation of the Presiden- tial Commission on the Student Role in Decision-Making in its report last March. Mrs. Newell, 39, wasassistant to Fleming when he was chan- cellor of the Madison branch of the University of Wisconsin. She has held an appointment as as- sociate professor of economics here since last March and is a specialist in labor relations. She received a9 bachelor of arts degree in 1951 from Vassar College, a masters degree from Wisconsin in 1953, and a doctorate there in 1958. Mrs. Newell was assistant and theni associate professor of eco- nomics at Purdue Univerity from 1959 until 1964 when she returned to Wisconsin as Fleming's assist- ant. ::><: !{> >. <;<.;. . . *S: Parade, Mrs. Newell Our Staff Meteorologist Sweet, little Sheilah Patterson of Appleton, N.D., asked The Daily why the sky turned purple. Sheilah was worried because the sun failed to reappear follow- ing yesterday afternoon's cloud- burst, and instead a wierd, pur- plish haze shrouded many Uni- versity buildings. But wipe those raindrops from your eyes, Sheilah; all is well, In an exclusive Daily inter- view, Dr. Hazel Losh, former pro- fessor of astronomy, explained away the phenomenon as "re- fraction effect." "I don't think you have much of a story," she said, trying to calm fears of armageddon. Nevertheless, the Associated Press, in a copyrighted story, re- vealed the gravity of the situa- tion: "BOULDER, Colo. W) - Based on information collected here and at 'flare patrol' stations around the world, . . . scientists were watching for the effects of a cloud of electrons . . . believed headed toward earth, promising more disruptions . .. and another major solar flare within 24, trophy, Prof. A. Nelson Dingle, cloud expert of the meteorology department, released information compiled in a report by British scientist Lord Rayleigh. Rayleigh, whose observations on sky color solve the whole prob- lem, was unavailable for com- ment, because he died in the last century. Dingle summarized the report, saying the sky is purple because purple wavelengths were shining through it. The professor did not link the Associated Press reports of solar flares to the presence of the rosy light. Instead, he explained that, at sunset, the short blue wave- lengths, sometimes responsible for the sky blue color sometimes seen in Ann Arbor, are not scattered as easily as the longer red waves. Thus it is as if a "red spot- light" was shining on the area. "You know the old saying," he continued, "'Red sun in morning, sailors take warning; red sun at night, sailors delight.'d It should be a nice day today. rally today for, Spock, By ALISON SYMROSKI A parade and rally will be held at 3 p.m. today in support of Dr. Benjamin Spock, the Rev. Wil- liam Sloane Coffin Jr., Mitchell Goodman and Michael Ferber, who are to be sentenced today. The four were convicted in Bos- ton June 14 of conspiracy to coun- sel young men to avoid the draft. The maximum sentence is five years imprisonment and fines of $10,000. Parade participants plan to "express solidarity with these men in their dissent against the Viet- nam War and the draft." They will also demonstrate against the Boston trial, which' they charge "represents a serious threat to freedom of. speech 'in America." A rally in the West Park band- shell from 4:30 to 5 p.m. will fol- low the parade. Speakers at the tally will in- clude the Rev. Edwin Gaede and Rabbi Harold White, co-chairmen of the Interfaith Council for Peace; Peter Wolff, representing Resist; Dennis Church from the Resistanc'e and Bert Garskoff, Congressional candidate of the New Politics Party. Women for Peace will play a recording from the national or- ganization. A morph ous I un iversity By ANN MUNSTER, The "free university" move- ment is not dead. It just went underground for 21/2 years. The Ann Arbor Free School is currently organizing to fill the gap left when the Free Univer- sity of 1966 was unable to con- tinue operation because of fi- nancial difficulties and inabil- ity to find a full-time director. An organizational meeting for the school will be held to- The objective is not only to provide alternatives and supple- ments to regular University course offerings, but to provide a center for students with un- satisfied interests where they can pursue their interests col- lectively. A partial list of tentative course offering has been drawn up, but organizers say they are perfectly willing to discard the proposed topics if there is not enough interest. was Bill Ayers, and the experi- mental Children's Community School, which he directs, ex- plains Tom Beukema, one of the Free School's organizers. Ayers and Beukema agreed that interchange of ideas should be promoted among rad- ical groups such as Students for a Democratic Society, New Poli- tics Party and People Against Racism. This is another goal of the Free School. But plans for starting the emerge S start to an unusual amount of enthusiasm 'for the project, rather than a desire to alleviate factional disputes among the organizers. Weeks added that the theor- etical basis of the Free School is "somewhat analogous to the current theory of community organizations," a movement, which has gained great head- way since the last attempt to start a free school in Ann Ar- bor.
