1fYCu SEEN E6 L.PD( t>A Takin' it to the streets... It was like a scene from the Shootout at O.K. J)rral. Approxi- mately high noon yesterday, three young men, described as in their 20's and "probably good friends" by witnesses, converged at the east end of Liberty Street in frontof the State Theater. To the surprise of hurried passersby on the sidewalk, the three began, and finished, a knock 'em. down, drag out fight which resulted in one being tossed through a front window of the Theater. Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene, and two brawlers were taken to the hospital. Police refused to comment on the incident, which is "under in- vestigation." The theater's manager, Barry Miller, summed up the experience: "There's not much to say. He just came through the win- dow." No leg to stand on -... Any unknowing observer of Tuesday night's Michigan Student Assembly meeting might have surmised that recent Regental decisions have crippled the assembly in more ways than one. That's because no less than three MSA reps were hobbling around the assem- bly chambers on crutches that night. Rumors that the Regents had cut the legs out from under Vice-President Laurie Tyler and assembly members David Trott and Nicola Binns proved to be untrue, however. Tyler sprained her ankle in one of Ann Arbor's famous chuckholes and Trott broke his leg playing softball. No one in MSA's offices was sure about Binn's accident. With God as my judge ... . Re born Christian Jed Smock returned to the diag yesterday after- noon to pursue his ongoing campaign to "save" sinning University students. Smock, of course, considers only campus virgins who ingest no drugs and do not listen to rock and roll music the only candidates for heaven-everyone else (who is not saved) is destined to rot in hell, he said. Smock's own rebirth, according to a pamphlet he circulates, occurred after experiencing marijuana, LSD trips and general "lasciviousness." But yesterday he focused his oratory on the evils of intercourse, masturbation, rock and roll, and immodest dress rather than drugs. "It's good to propel your sexual appetite in marraige," Smock said. A voice from the crowd asked, "Who's she?" Such mocking comments were continuously tossed'at Smock, and some students even tried to argue with him over specifics of the bible. After Smock told the crowd that masturbation inevitably leads to homosexuality, one student asked him if he had read the Kinsey report which asserts that most people masturbate. "Well he was a pervert too," Smock retorted. "If God didn't want us to masturbate he would have made our arms shorter," cried a voice from the crowd. Smock went on to urge a woman to put on a dress "to impress God." One man jumped upon a step ofthe Graduate Library and yelled that Smock "is a false prophet-he probably can't even get it up!" One disgruntled leader finally became "Very upset at his speaking manner and the way he was degrading Jews and gay people" and threw three pies at Smock. The pie thrower, who phoned the Daily, said, "It didn't hurt, but it got my point across; he was a real fascist." With God as my witness .. . In today's litigous society, it had to happen. Worried about the ever-increasing number and kind of lawsuits, the Lutheran Church in America is now offering its pastors what amounts to "clergy malprac- tice insurance." Called "professional liability insurane," the plan is available to protect pastors against claims or suits "alleging ac- tionable wrongs -in the performance of pastoral counseling." Accor- ding'to James Bryson, an official of the church's administration and finance office, pastors potentially can be sued because of advice given troubled members. "It represents a trend of the times to have to provide for this type of insurance," Bryson said. There's no word yet on whether testimony will be accepted from any "higher authority."

The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 20, 1979-Page 3 INJUNCTION SOUGHT AGAINST DETROIT TEACHERS School officials try to force end to strike By United Press International Detroit school officials went to court yesterday seeking an injunction to for- ce striking teachers back to work as the nation's longest walkout passed the 10- day mark with no sign of a settlement in sight. New teacher strikes began in the Baldwin and Van Buren Intermediate districts, but a strike in Albion ended. STRIKING TEACHERS who repor- ted for picket duty yesterday morning in Baldwin in northern Lower Michigan were met by Lake County sheriff's deputies, some with police dogs, who were posted at school entrances to permit substitute teachers to enter. A spokesman for the Michigan Education Association (MEA) described the situation in Baldwin as "a bit tense." The district is paying sub- stitutes $65 a day to fill in for striking teachers, he said. In all, 13 districts other than Detroit were still closed by strikes. Some 5,000 teachers were walking the picket line in those districts, keeping about 100,000 students on extended summer vacations. OTHER STRIKEBOUND districts were: Benton Harbor, Bloomingdale. Chippewa Valley, Flint, Kelloggsville. Lansing, Melvindale-Northern Allen Park, Montague, Milan, Oxford and White Pigeon.% In Detroit, school board attorney George Roumell argued that the strike by the 12,000-member Detroit Federation of Teachers (DFI) could end up costing the district $5 million in state aid because of missed school days. Roumell also told Wayne County Cir- cuit Judge Patrick Duggan the walkout has caused serious hardships for the students, especially those who want to go to college or apply for scholarships and also those who are in special programs for the handicapped or the bilingual. HE SAID 6,000 Detroit students sim- ply dropped out for good in 1973, when teachers staged a 43-day strike. However, DFT attorney Theodore Sachs said a back-to-work order would be "unwarranted, unjustified and un- founded" and would not advance the progress of the stalled contract talks. Sachs said he doubted teachers would go back to work without a contract, regardless of how he judge rules. "I WOULD have to assume, based on 1973 experience, the teachers who are aggrieved by injustices would be reluc- tant to go back in a classroom without resolution of their dispute," he said af- ter the court hearing. Judge Duggan, who earlier this week refused the board's request for an im- mediate injunction and ordered both sides to resume negotiations, is not exected to rule on the motion until late this week or early next week.- 1 With talks at a standstill, school of- ficials on Tuesday announced a home education program under which paren- ts, chiefly those with elementary school children, can obtain free home learning materials. A STRIKE in Albion ended yesterday under an agreement described as "unusual" by the MEA.. Although there was no contract agreement, bothrsides agreedto meet for at least 60 hours during the next two weeks while teachers work. If there is no agreement then, the two sides would submit to binding fact-finding. The plan was devised by a citizens' group and endorsed overwhelmingly by both school and union officials in separate meetings.
