By NADINE COHODAS
Despite months of long discus-
sions in Congress over the pro-
posed anti-ballistic missile system
(ABM) relatively little has been
offered as an alternative to the
$20 billion proposal, except to
abandon the entire program.
However, Monday, a group of
University professors presented
what they said was a cheaper,
more effective alternative to the
ABM.
Instead of spending up to $40
billion (what the researchers say
the program ultimately would

cost) for the safeguard system, Marc Ross, Gordon King and

Pre-trial exam
in coed slaying
begyins today
By JUDY SARASOHN
A pretrial hearing for murder suspect Ernest R. Bishop
Jr. will be held this morning at 9:30 am. in District Court.
Bishop is charged with the first degree murder of Mar-
garet Ann Phillips, 25, a University graduate student in
sociology and the seventh slain young woman in the Ann
Arbor area in the last two years.
Meanwhile, Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny denied
reports yesterday that Bishop admitted throwing a gun
received from another man into the Huron River.
Responding to a television report, Krasny asserted, "It's
just not true. I don't know where they got their information,
but it's false."

sentatives are Nancy Sprague,
grad, and Terry Terteling, '70.
Both are in the education school.
They have been selected from a
group of applicants by a com-
mittee established by Students for
Educational Innovation.
The selection committee was
composed of three volunteers
chosen at a mass meeting and.
three students who had previously
sat on faculty committees.
Before a final decision is made,
Cohen is expected to discuss the
matter with members of the Re-
gents as well as executive com-
mittee members who were not
present at yesterday's meetings.
The executive committee is di-
rectly responsible to the Regents.
Currently, education school stu-
dents have non-voting seats on all
other committees in the education
school.
However, Eisner believes the
executive committee, which is the
most important decision-making
group in the school, is the com-
mittee on which student repre-
sentation is "most vital."
Eisner said as far as he knows
students have never been seated
on any executive committee of the
18 schools and colleges of the
University.
Non-voting student members
were added to the school's other
committees over one year ago.
Committee m e m b e r s were
chosen through the selection com-
mittee established by SEI.

l

Malin also explains that problems are
created for non-English speaking stu-
dents because ELI, unlike the center.
has only regular office hours.
In addition, he believes that the sepa-
rate offices do not encourage interac-
tion between foreign students in each
program.
Iravani's suggestions were also re-
ceived favorably by Acting Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs Barbara
Newell. Mrs. Newell says she believes
the proposals appear to be good con-
structive criticism.

-Foreign student representation on
Student Government Council;
-Appointing special academic ad-
visors for foreign students in individual
schools and colleges:
-A new building to house the ex-
panded center.
Under Iravani's proposals, the ex-
panded center's services would include
an orientation program for all foreign
students. Presently ELI and the center
run separate programs.
Although everyone involved agrees
that a new building for the center

Because of the obvious squeeze for
space, the Board of Governors of the
center have indicated that the Madelon
Pound House could be renovated for ex-
panded use. The house, which was be-
queathed to the center, is presently used
only for offices and some programming.
Plans are being made to turn the
house into a coffee house with interna-
tional atmosphere and entertainment,
says Malin. However, this too will cost
money that has not yet been allocated
to the center.
Iravani's complaints were sparked by
