The proposals in- cluded converting most 200-level courses into lecture-recitation sec- tions instead of the then practiced 30-person discussion sessions and easing certain reijuirements through independent study and com- prehensive exams.

Baur really took it on the chin with the ultimate insult of his sculp- tures. The 27-yerar-old Chicago resident put two metal works out in his back yard to rust only to have them mistaken for junk by scrap dealers passing through his neighborhood. When Baur later went to S. Gordon and Sns Junkyard in search of some material for new products he spotted his sculptures. The works, worth $1,500, were returned to Baur for nocharge. Maybe you should go into painting, Mike.

(AP) - William and Emily Harris were sentenced to 10 years to life in prison yesterday for the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. Their attorneys predicted they would be free within five years. Alameda County District Attorney Lowell Jensen said the sentence im- posed by Superior Court Judge Stanley Golde will be quickly converted to meet requirements of a new law. He said the term would then come to 10 years and eight months in prison. ATTORNEYS FOR the couple said that with time off for good behavior and credit for time served the Harrises would be released in 1983. Prior to today's court appearance, court documents were released in which the Harrises denied that the newspaper heiress was ever tortured, raped or brainwashed by the group that abducted her. It was the first time they had ever replied directly to the version of Hear- st's captivity that she had presented while a defendant in a bank robbery trial. Harris, 33, and his 31-year-old wife entered guilty pleas Aug. 31 in a sur- prise plea' bargain which they said would insure their release by 1983. HOWEVER, BOTH defense and prosecution attorneys said that today's sentencing by GolfIe will give little in- dication of how long the Harrises will remain behind bars. They already are serving an 11-year- to-life sentence for a Los Angeles shootout involving Miss Hearst. The confusion about their ultimate term stems from a recent change in the California sentencing law. BECAUSE THEIR crime occurred in 1974, Golde was required to sentence the Harrises under the state's old and much criticized indeterminate sentence law which gave prisoners no set date for release. At a later date, however, the Califor- nia Community Release Board will revise the sentence to conform with the new determinate sentencing law. For instance, that board already has ruled that the Harrises' sentence on the Los Angeles conviction must end in April 1980. THE HARRISES' lawyers said earlier they expected the sentence here to add 3% years to the 1980 release date. ors get' Deputy District Attorney Alex Selvin has refused to confirm that the 1983 release date is a likely result of the plea bargain. "None of us can really say what the board will do," the prosecutor said. "I just don't want to get into speculation on that." But Mrs. Harris' lawyer, Susan Jor- dan, said she believed the Harrises would be free near the time they predic- ted. "THE EXPECTATION is that the plea bargain agreement will be honored at the time that they appear before the Community Release Board," she said. The Harrises came to California in the early 1970s and helped form the tiny, terrorist band known as the Sym- bionese Liberation Army (SLA). Their 0 to lib names sprang into headlines af Hearst was dragged screaming fr her Berkeley apartment on Feb. 4,11 In subsequent months, she sent w from the underground that she I converted to her captors' cause become "Tania" the urban guerrilla But soon after the trio's capture Sept. 18, 1975, the newspaper heir recanted her revolutionary stateme and said she had never joined revolution. She said the SLA forced to commit crimes - a defense whic federal jury rejected when they con ted her of armed bank robbery in 5 Francisco. Hearst later pleaded no c test to kidnapping, robbery and assa charges in the Los Angeles shootout. Buckley denounces progressive taxes Midwife assistance: now a legal choice (Continued from Page 1) BUCKLEY also advocated returning power and revenue to states and local areas that otherwise would receive funding through Washington. Buckley said voters now send representatives to Congress "to get back as much as they can from the national pool." He compared members of Congress to "pirates" being sent for the "purpose of bringing home booty." Buckley said "the sky 'is black with criss-crossing dollars," adding that it would be better not to send so much money to Washington, only to have it redistributed. 'Turning to the topic of China, Buckley said many people who visited mainl China "marveled at its accompli ments." Buckley, however, denoun Communist methodology. "For every Chinese he led from si vation, Mao led one Chinese execution," said Buckley.

By ELLEN FUTTERMAN A change in the Michigan Public Health Code will give mothers the choice of having their babies delivered by midwives instead of doctors. The state Public Health Department has granted certification for registered nurses to specialize in midwifery. The October 1' change came after three years of lobbying by midwifery ad- vocates. Now, the three Nurse Practice Board (NPB) will establish guidelines to implement the change. MICHIGAN'S midwifery program is expected to follow the guidelines set by the nationwide American College of Nurse Midwifery (ACNM). Ap- proximately 25 states now have legal nurse-midwives. The ACNM grants certification to registered nurses who graduate from a one year ACMN training program or receive a master's degree from a two year graduate program in nurse mid- wifery. The University presently does not of- fer a master's program in nurse mid- wifery. "CURRENTLY nurse-midwifery tr- aining is incorporated in parent-child nursing courses and there is no master's program .fin the plan- ning," said Bea Kalisch, a member of the University School of Nursing curriculum committee. "The concept of nurse-midwifery has been around for a while," said Elizableth Peckman, director of nursing practices for the Michigan Nurses Association. "Women should know the skills and limitation of the person to assist her and then make her own choice," Peckman said. It is the limited medical training that worries many doctors and health of- ficials. "I HAVE NO objection to the concept of nurse-midwives as long as they work in concert with practicing physicians," said George Nolan, doctor of obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) at Univer- sity Hospital. "We all have something to gain by licensing nurse-midwives, but there is a potential of them getting into areas that may be too complicated for them," he said. Nolan said midwives should be allowed to handle "normal" deliveries, but only physicians should supervise breech deliveries and other com- plications. "Delivery is a minor part of ob- stetrics," said Ronald Zach, an OBGYN physician in private practice in Detroit. "Deliveries could be handled well by midwives," he said. THE ACNM is optimistic about the success of nurse-midwives in Michigan: "Nurse-midwives are less expensive than OBGYNs. They charge about $750 compared to $2,000 by doctors," said Nancy McKenzie, membership coor- dinator of ACNM. Some OBGYNs work in conjunction with nurse-midwives. Irk the case of a normal pregnancy a doctor may assign a midwife to a woman's care. "COLLECTIVELY they provide good service. There is less cost," said Dr. George Attwater, director of com- munity health programs for Washtenaw County. "Some doctors would rather deal with the technological aspects of pregnancy," said Nolan. Midwifery can add a more humane approach to bir- thing," said Eugenia Carpenter, chair- person of the public health code revision committee.

Until this moment in 1915, the white colonials in the outpost have been on congenial terms with a nearby, equally unaware Ger- man settlement. Now they must attack their neighbors. More precisely-and this touches one of the film's controllingironies-they decide their black natives must attack the Germans' natives.
