People, police share quiet summer Sunday in Arb SM By DANIEL ZWERDLING ~.{ . People's picnickers, four hundred of them, trekked from 50 miles around to the Arb Sunday and passed an uneventful afternoon under the watch of about 30 club-wielding Ann Arbor police. Some dudes drummed and yelped in the trees, frisbees sliced across the meadow and harps warbled. But most sprawled quietly on two hills facing the meadow, waiting relaxed and subdued like crowds come to see a show which is either very late or cancelled. Back in town over 400 police and deputy reserves waited (earn- ing $7 an hour for it, according to a patrolman) for the alert to set riot equipment into motion. But the helicopter sporadically buzzing the picnic never radioed the word. Only 40 motorcyclists barroomed into town, and the police made them park outside the arb gates or escorted them from the city. Inside the Arb, clusters of police (plus uncountable plainclothes- men) mingled through the crowd, adorned with face shields and helmets and gas mask pouches emblazened with a viscious eagle plunging claw-spread from the sky. There was very little "pig" calling. Some boos when three girls drinking wine were asked to leave. And the slightest inkling of a minor confrontation when 50 picnickers suddenly swooped from the hill 9 and surrounded a police photographer with fancy video cameras. It was not a bad Sunday afternoon. But no one seemed sorry to saunter on home when the rain started dripping. Original plans called for Sunday afternoon in Gallup Park where several rock bands were scheduled to perform. However, Mayor Robert Harris canceled the park permit after Sheriff Douglas Harvey said his deputies would move in on future -Daily-Larry Robbins concerts and "enforce the law." li 6i iga -Daily-Larry Robbins GIVING STUDENTS ACADEMIC POWER See Editorial Page ~~IAit PREDICTABLE High-75 Low--55 Cloudy, chance of afternoon thundershowers Vol. LXXIX, No. 38-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, July 8, 1969 Ten Cents Six Pages MANY ELIMINATED: Police build Design easesr department requirements evidence in By JUDY KAHN The design department of the architecture and design school has liberalized re- quiremens for the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, eliminat- ing most specific course re- quirements for more than half the students in design. The new requirements for the 128-hour degree include 40 hours of class from the literary college, 52 from the art school and 36 hours of electives from any unit in the University. The only specific required aca- demic courses are English 123 and 12 hours of History of Art includ- ing either History of Art 111 or 112. There are no specific art courses required although students must take 16 hours of basic art classes. The revised program is largely the result of the work of art pro-I fessor Chet Lamore. Noting gen- eral student and faculty dissatis- faction with the school's distribu- tion requirements, Lamore decid- ed it was "time to change" the school's program. He subsequently drafted the new. program and gathered faculty andj atdent opinion concerning it. TheI atdepartment faculty passed his proposal virtually without opposi- tion at an April meeting and the first students were graduated un- der it in May. The 30 to 40 per cent of"the school's students who are plan- ning to earn teaching certificates follow a similar, but more strictly! delineated program, which w a s developed to include' state teach-! ing certification requirements.

Ernest R. Bishop, Jr., 28, of 818 Gott St., was arraigned yesterday morning in District Court by Judge Sanford J. Elden on a charge of first degree murder of Margaret Ann Phillips, 25, a University graduate student in sociology. Bishop did not enter a plea but he did request a court- appointed attorney. The preliminary examination date is set for 9:30 a.m. July 16 in Elden's court. The suspect is a part-time maintenance man for the city. He served a term in Southern Mich- igan Prison for a rape conviction Ten ants and was released on parole in De- cember, 1968. This frees Bishop of suspicion in the murders of Mary Flezar in July, 1967, and Joan Schell in July, 1968.

'N Jack Eisner, president of Stu- dents for Educational Innovation, which has sponsored movements to increase student decision-mak- ing power, will also attend today's! meeting. In March, SEI established a se- lection committee of six students! to choose representatives for vari- ous education school committees. This student committee is made up of three volunteers selected from a mass meeting for educa- tion school students, and three, students who had previously sat on faculty committees.F The committee interviewed edu- cation school students who applied for positions as non-voting stu- dent representatives on education school committees. For the past. year, selected students have been serving on several committees in this capacity. However, Eisner said yesterday: TWO MALLS SLATED 'U'plans: Streets are for walking United Farm Workers and civil rights community groups. "The Fellowship program is an action project not intended to provide scholarship assistance for academic study," explained B. J. Stiles, director of the Fellowship Program. "Our priority is on problem- solvers and those who have al- ready demonstrated their deter- mination to confront chronic social problems," he said. Forty fellows will be chosen from applications now being ac- cepted at the RFK Memorial in Washington. Stiles said both in- dividuals and community organ- izations working with poverty and minority group problems could nominate candidates for the positions. Stiles also said community or- ganizations should submit pro- posals for using Kennedy fellows in specific tasks around the coun- try. Since the program was estab- lished, Stiles said commitments are being developed with com- munity groups and interested citizens to place Kennedy fellows with a wide variety of organiza- tions throughout the country. "We are particularly looking for applicants with legal, economic development and medical or! papra-medical training and ex- perience Stiles added.

And the University couldn't agree more. Sometime in the future, the Univer-' sity would like to see some campus area streets turned into pedestrian malls. A perimeter system of roads is already being completed to carry traffic around the campus. Parking facilities would be located on the perimeter streets. The perimeter roads-Hill, Packard, Huron, Division and Fifth Streets and Forest Ave.-will channel traffic around the campus. Some of the other campus streets would be closed off, and traffic Ingalls St. between East University and Washington when the new Modern Lan- guages Bldg. and the psychology building are completed-which will take some time. Construction has not yet begun on either building. The University also has more immediate plans for building a pedestrian mall on East University between North and South University. But there are no plans yet for changing South University Ave., despite recent tem- porary closings via barricade by residents of the area and friends. However, State Street may also become a mall between North University and East are ahead of State Street. But he adds that the Main Street development is more complicated because a bypass route must be constructed. The 1969-70 city. budget provides $4000 for developing proposals for the mall. Work on the plans began after July 1 and no completion date has been predicted. The merchants group must accept any plans. Edwards says about half the mem- bers still oppose the mall because they fear damage to business, but he adds that studies have shown that most cars pass quickly along the street without noticing displays. The Main Street Mall would extend dismissed One case from the South Uni- versity arrests was dismissed and another postponed last Thursday by District Judge Sanford J. Elden. The contention charge against Eugene Gregory, 17, of 2698 Pack- ard was dropped by Assistant County Prosecutor Thomas F. Shea, and the ?contention trial of John C. Wilson, 18, of Bowie, Md., was postponed until Aug. 27. stein and Brugh discussed the Kozminski case with Assistant County Prosecutor Frank Pierce. Goldstein said the case could come under the county's jurisdic- tion because one of the charges against Mrs. Kozminski, assault and battery, is a state offense. Goldstein said Pierce 'refused to consider bringing Mrs. Kozminski to trial, however. Farmer had refused to pro- secute Mrs. Kozminski because he said the case was not clear cut due to a conflict of testimony. .f
