Regental readout
Though none of the Regents blew a fuse, at least one board
member is worried about a mechanical coup at the University. While
discussing the replacement of the Michigan Terminal System, the
University's computer equipment, Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) noted
that the recommendation included in the Regents' agenda was written
by a computer. "Is this computer asking for bids (for a new com-
puter)? Have we lost control?" he quipped. The computer chose not to
respond to the charges.

Milliken said it is fitting that the GOP
will hold its national convention in
Detroit next year.
"I am confident that Michigan, which
saw the birth of the Republican Party,
will do much for the rebirth of the party
nationally in 1980 just as I am confident
that this convention today will do much
for the revitalization of the party in this
state," he said.
"IT IS FITTING that we begin a
Republican renaissance in the
Renaissance City. The Republican Par-
ty has helped rebuild Detroit. The con-
vention will help in continuing the
rebuilding of Detroit. And Detroit, in
turn, will help rebuild the Republican
Party."
The GOP delegates also voted
yesterday to keep the so-called
minority vice chairman's position,
currently filed by a black, as a symbol
of their resolve to attract minority
voters.
Other resolutions adopted by the
delegates included support of a balan-
ced federal budget and expanded use of
nuclear power.
The issue positions taken by the
Republican delegates in no way are
binding on the party or its leaders.
Kassen n: A poetic response
Poetic sentators-
Sen. Edward Zorinsky (D-Neb.) may become known as the poet
laureate of the Senate, and his New Year's correspondence to his
colleagues might help him get the title. Zorinsky sent his fellow
senators a "Nebraskaland Wild Game Cookbook" last month with the
following poem:
'o( help you
ih>n vOt wfant to tie
Your hunger
eer itough yourgame
I wilt1
I send von this book of dishes
An 4 spice it with
n nvNei c ear's wishes!"
Several of Zorinsky's colleagues responded in poetic fashion, includ-
ing Sen. Nancy Kassenbaum (R-Kan.), who penned this rhyme:
"Because of one Edward Zorinsky.,
Distinguished Colleague from Nebraski,
No more will I howl,
hati II do with this fowl
hen guest unexpected drop-in-ski.
Wouldn't you know it-two people with real potential as poets and
they're wasting their, talents serving in the Senate.

On Feb. 18, 1969. then Vice-President for Academic Affairs Allan
Smith, who is now Interim University President, said he would ask the
Regents to abolish the physical education requirement. Smith said the
physical education requirement was "inconsistent with the philosophy
of letting students take what they desire."

DETROIT (UPI) - The state
Democratic Convention opened yester-
day with talk centering on a proposal
for disciplining party dissidents and ac-
tion concentrating in district caucuses
where local leaders are chosen.
Party luminaries and those with an
eye on the 1982 elections hosted
"hospitality suites" where much of the
heavy politicking was to take place.
PARTY CHAIRMAN Morley,
Winograd and vice chairs Clyde
Cleveland and Olivia Maynard-all
seeking re-election-spent the early
part of the day visiting caucuses and
greeting delegates. None of them,
however, was expected to face op-
position when the conventon met in full
session this monring.
"It looks like smooth sailing, baby,"
said former state Sen. William Fit-
zgerald, the Democrats' unsuccessful
candidate for governor last fall. -
"Morley looks set for another term
and the resolutions committee looks
like they've done their job."
"IN A SENSE," Maynard conceded,
"it's a social gathering."
By general agreement, the hottest
issue expected to hit the convention
floor was a resolution creating a task
force to study various means for
making elected Democrats accountable
to the party.
The resolution. was inspired by
Winograd's proposal for party endor-
sement in primary elections. The
chairman and the party's influential
union allies have had considerable dif-
ficulty with Democratic
mavericks-most notably in the'state
Senate.
BUT THE MEASURE goes"beyond
Winograd's idea, suggesting that
publicity and even censure be used to
whip recalcitrants into line.
Maynard; who ran unsuccessfully for
lieutenant governor last year, said she
supports the idea of more party accoun-
tability, but stressed the specifics of the
plan were still being determined.
"I do believe in the party platform
... and that collective wisdom is better
... than individual stars," she said.
PHIL POWER, an unsuccessful can-
didate for U.S. Senate, said the party
accountability proposal is needed to
combat the rising power of special in-
terestgroups.
Opposition to the proposal was expec-
ted in some counties where the party is
weaker and depends on support in-
dependent voters. Among the opponen-
ts was U.S. Rep. Robert Carr (D-East
Lansing), who represents a swing
district.
The heaviest campaigning yesterday
was in the corridors outside caucus
rooms at Cobo Hall and the Radisson-
Cadillac Hotel where the fight was on
for the chairmanships of the 19
congressional districtsr-a position seen
as a stepping stone to the state chair-
manship.

Rutgers called sexist, ends
'rape card' distribution,
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -
Rutgers University police have stopped
handing out "rape cards" to female
students after several women's groups
charged the cardsywere "sexist" and
reinforced "the myths that blame
women for rape."
The cards, which read: "If I were a
rapist, you'd be in trouble," were han-
ded out to women found in what police
termed dangerous situations, such as
hitchhiking, walking in dark areas or
out alone late at night.
THERE HAVE been two rapes of
students on campus since the school
year began last September, said Robert
Ochs, Rutgers assistant vice president
for public safety.
Because of protests from the
women's groups, police said last week
that the cards would be 'restricted to
women found hitchhiking.
"My immediate reaction was one of
rage," said Francine Harbour, a mem-
ber of Action Against Rape, a Douglass
College based group. "This is adding
insult to injury. The university police
seem so powerless, and now they are
placing the blame on us as women for
their incompetence."
THE RAPE CARDS "reinforce a
dangerous and misguided blame-the-
victim mentality and borders on a per-

statement issued by the Women's
Caucus of the Graduate School of Soial
Work. "The blame is shifted to the
potential victim, it is something she
does or does not do which ultimately
causes the crime.,
"The implied curfew for all female
students is also unrealistic; many of us
have to go out at night. Campus patrol's
job is to reduce our fear, not add to it,"
the statement continued.

Based on the provocative, much
talked-about hit of both Broadway
and London stages, MAN . .. is the
story of Arthur Goldman (MAX-
MILLAN SCHELL) who is captured and
brought to trial by the'State ofIsrael
for crimes against humanity. Is he
the rich Jewish businessman, or the
former SS colonel who headed a Nazi
extermination camp? As the trial
progresses, the question of Gold-
man's innocence or guilt becomes
more confusing. The film's final
statement ultimately involves all
humanity-its ironies, weaknesses,
and general involvement in ,guilt.
