'40; and the committee will welcome this By JUDY RAKOWSKY A nine-story commercial building may be constructed on the corner of Main and Huron if the plan presented to City Council Monday night is approved when it comes up for a vote in a few weeks. A model of the burnished brick and - opaque glass complex was presented by the architects of Hobbs and Black Assoc. Architect Bill Hobbs said one of the most attractive features of the of- fice and shop complex is the urban park planned for the lower level, which would include benches and plants and might resemble the Liberty Plaza common area. THE OWNER of the property, Ann Arbor attorney Leo Angelos, is a par- tner in the Fleetwood Realty Co. That firm has built numerous high-rises in the Chicago Loop area, according to Hobbs. Hobbs told Council parking could not be incorporated into the plan for three reasons: Fhe parking provisions would eliminate the open park space; * such provisions would render the project economically unfeasible; " the lot size is too small to permit parking space on it. The cost of the complex is estimated at approximately $5 million, and backers hope construction can begin at the start of the next building season in the spring. Hobbs said bids could be submitted beginning in January, provided that Council approves the plan. Following the meeting, Mayor Louis Belcher said that he knew of expressed opposition to the project. He added that the Downtown Advisory Committee, and the downtown business organizations are in favor of the plan. A parking-exempt ordinance applies to the district in which the building would be located, and therefore people using the facility would have to rely on area surface lots and structures. Dennis Serras was the only citizen who spoke on the subject during the publichearing devoted to the project. He lauded the plan as a step toward downtown revitalization and noted it as a reversal of the shift of resources to the Briarwood shopping mall area. "I would hope people would like to see Ann Arbor come back." c P ii s F a Feldkamp served as the University's housing director for eleven years before resigning his post in Sept. 1977. He gave up his position to become the general manager of services at Prin- ceton University.- ROBERT FORMAN, executive direc- tor of the Alumni Association said, "The interesting thing about the com- mittee is its diversity, we wanted women and were conscious of minority needs." Forman added that the association was particularly interested in finding a representative with a background in the health sciences. He also noted the range of ages on the committee. The members of the Alumni Search Committee are: Fleming Barbour, M.D., '36, M.S. '40; Sara Sun Beale, '71, J.D.

THE ALUMNI reached for comment refused to give any indication on what they might look for in a new president until after the committee's first meeting tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. Samuel Krugliak, '38, J.D. '41, (curren- tly president of the Alumni Association); Horace Rodgers, '48, J.D. '51; and Richard Schalk, '71 Mgmt. The alumni contacted described their role in choosing the president as impor- tant. "THE ALUMNI have put a lot into the University and have taken a lot from it," commented Margaret Ayers Host. Robert Briggs, who served on the Regents Committee which chose President Fleming said, "The alumni are deeply involved in the activities of the University. All the committees (student, faculty and alumni) make role." Feldkam p Vasectomies reversible Times 'Farber freed; Jascalevich acquitted (Ceatingscrutinized (Continued from Page 1) WASHINGTON (AP) - Voluntary sterilization, particularly in men, is in- creasingly becoming a reversible method of birth control as microsurgical techniquesare improved and standardized, according to a new report on contraceptive technology. The report, published Monday by the Population Crisis Committee, says the best surgical centers already have suc- cess rates as high as 90 per cent in reversing vasectomies in men who did not suffer extensive tissue destruction during the original sterilization. "With standardization of sterilization procedures to maximize the chances of reversal, the success rate of reversal procedures will increase," the commit tee predicted. THE COMMITTEE said severf months ago that voluntary sterilization is now the world's leading contracep- tive method. The nonprofit organization, which promotes population control, also said Monday that chemically treated devices, including condoms that dissolve and hormone-dispensing vaginal rings, are likely to be the next birth control methods on the market. From Wire Service Re HACKENSACK, N.J.-I day found Dr. Mario Ja nocent of murdering th Although the Judiciary consists of seven faculty and seven student mem- bers, only three from each group serve on each individual case. The faculty members are appointed by the LSA Executive Committee and serve two- year terms, while the student members are selected by the LSA Student Gover- nment for one-year stints. The judiciary is charged with con- sidering circumstances surrounding each cheating case a professor or student brings before it, deciding the guilt or innocence of the accused, and setting penalties in cases where the ac- cused is found guilty. In the 1977-78 academic year, 38 cases of student academic dishonesty were tried, with 18 such cases tried the preceding year, and 19 the year before that. LSA ASSISTANT Dean Eugene Nissen said the case figures are low because- professors often handle questions of student dishonesty directly with the individuals in question. The judiciary gets the go-ahead to deal with eheating cases after they are determined to involve violations cited under the Code of Academic Conduct. The code, developed in 1973, contains provisions for cases involving plagiarism, cheating, and fabrication of records and official documents. Before accused students appear at a hearing, they are given a "Manual of Procedures," which explains the steps their case will follow. The manual also explains the appeals process, states the legal rights of parties involved, and lists the verdicts that could be taken. BUT NISSEN said the manual isn't always effective, and that he knows of cases in which students had their charges dismissed because of technicalities within the manual. "The procedure manual works reasonably well," he said. "It was never designed to be a legal document. We don't pretend to imitate a court of law. If that were the case, you could punch a hole in every line, in every thought of that document." The manual, he added, is designed only to provide students with "due process." Actions ranging from a letter of reprimand to permanent expulsion from the University are among those spelled out in the manual. But Nissen said in the past year, the trend has been towards stricter penalization. "ONE OF THE complaints .lodged against the judiciarya few years ago was that the actions they took were too light. I think there's a general shift toward a more serious interpretation of the code." Bradwick agrees that, of late, the judiciary has tightened up. "I see the students in the appeal procedure," he said, "and too often they are surprised that they have received a serious penalty - and that makes us very uncomfortable." WHEN AN appeal is requested, a minimum of two students and two faculty members sit on the board, with Bardwick presiding. Students found guilty after this step have no alter- native but to face the consequences. In addition to facing up to the penalty, students have the violation recorded on their transcript. In some instances, if students have cleaned up their records, they can have mention of the violation erased from their transcript. But, as Nissen explained, the students'troubles MI TAKING THE I 1 0% A MEW 01 I would not be over at that point, patients, while a judge 1 "Just about every professional and York Times reporter M, graduate school to which a student may from a jail where he was want to apply has an application form, refusing to turn over notes and one of the questions will be: 'Have Jascalevich, 51, of Eng you ever been found guilty of academic N.J., had been on trial si dishonesty?

Trautwein said a six-month criminal penalty would be suspended. The judge said that since the case had gone to the jury, he would no longer keep Farber imprisoned for withholding his notes as evidence. Farber had last been jailed Oct. 12 for refusing to surrender notes in the case. The newsman spent 27 days in jail in August. The Times, which was also convicted of contempt, had paid $265,000 in fines, including a $100,000 criminal penalty and $5,000 daily, Times Attorney Eugene Scheiman said Monday. Rosenthal estimated the Farber case has cost the New York Times $1 million. He said the precedent set by the fines and the power to fine may have a chilling effect on other newspapers around the country. "Many newspapers throughout the country may be worried about the precedents set by. these fines," Rosen- thal said.
