"9 IV- Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, May 7, 1969 $50 PUNISHMENT: Eden fines Riopelle Meats for short weighing Sigma Nu Students win econ awards Four students have been award- ed top honors by the economics department. The honors include By LORNA CHEROT a Riopelle Meat Packing Co. has been found guilty of short weigh- ing Sigma Nu fraternity, and was fined $50 by District -Court Judge S. J. Eldon, April 29. Sigma Nu steward Carl Stevens said he was "disappointed" by the lightness of the sentence. The maximum fine is $100. Robert C. .Murphy, a state in- spector for the agriculture dept., testified that after he weighed the Riopelle shipment for Feb. 11, he found a difference of 11 pounds 13 ounces between the amount of meat specified on the bill and the amount of meat actually received by Sigma Nu. Murphy also testified that the weighing was conducted in the presence of the Riopelle truck driver, county sealer Robert Har- ter, and Kurt DeVries, a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity. Ernest Riopelle defended his position by claiming that he and the steward, Stevens, had an agreement at the beginning of the year on how the meats were to be cut. Riopelle contended that the weight discrepancies occurred be- cause officials failed to include the weight of the juices in the bags in their final tabulations. Riopelle also said he and Stev- cash prizes. Sens,agree that Riopelle was to Margery A. Stern and Benjamin cut thefmeats close because the C.

In an oral report to the Senate Assembly April 21, committee chairman assistant dean George Hay of the graduate school outlined the revisions proposed by the committee. -classes for the fall term should not begin before Labor Day. --spring break should be extended to a full week. - an extra study day should be provided for in the spring term. - additional funds should be made available so that a wider va- riety of courses could be offered during spring and summer terms. However, Fidele Fauri, dean of the social work school and a com- mittee member says the calendar revisions could not be adopted be- fore the 1971-72 school year. "The calendars for the next two years are already set," he explains. The calendar committee was set up by Fleming in response to the Kelley Resolution of the Faculty Senate made last April which- called for a' study of the financial and educational implications of the tri- mester system. The resolution specified the pxoblems of time pressure on both facilty and students, and exchange value of credits with schools not on the trimester- system. Also, because most schools do not operate under the trimester, faculty members have to be absent while classes are in session in order to attend professional meetings. "The final calendar committee meeting is June 5," says Fauri, "and the written report should be submitted to Fleming sometime thereafter."
