for three years.
SGC voted 6-4 against adopt-
ing the plan in hope of "reach-
ing a better settlement", according
to SGC member-at-large Rick
Higgins, '74.
The judicial mechanism was ap-
proved last April by the Regents
after months of formulation by the
Committee on . a Permanent Uni-
versity Judiciary (COPJ). The .-
mechanism appeared at the time
to satisfy the often-clashing con-
stituencies of the University-stu-
dents, faculty members and ad-
ministrators.
Under the compromise, students
received a sizeable voice in the
! judicial mechanism, including a
provision for students to be tried
by a jury of six students.
Nevertheless, SGC members last
night - meeting for the first time
on the judicial compromise -
raised several objections to the
plan.
Council President Rebecca
Schenk said SGC is "adamantly
opposed" to the provision which
states that decisions of guilt may
be determined by only five out of
six members of the jury.-------
Under the plan originally pro CITES FA
S posed by COPJ, a committee of
students, faculty members, and
administrators would have re-
quired a unanimous vote of the
jury.
The Regents subsequently modi-
fied this, expressing the view that
it would be very difficult for the
jury to arrive at a guilty verdict NX
if all the jurors were required to
agree.
Besides calling for a unanimity
provision, Council also rejected the WASHINGTON
section which gives the Regents Marshall Harlan,
the power to choose 6 out of 12 conservative who

Special To The Daily.-
DETROIT - A crowd of
over 4,000 - mostly workers
and students - demonstra-
ted peacefully outside Cobo
Hall last night as President
Nixon addressed the Detroit
Economic club on his eco-
nomic policies.
Nixon entered and left the hall
through a back door, and most of
the protesters never saw him.
However, the crowd, which formed
around 5:30 p.m. remained until
the Economic Club members left
the building shortly after 9 p.m.
Although the demonstration was
endorsed initially by the Detroit
AFL-CIO, numerous other groups.
including the Michigan Federatior
of Teachers, the Detroit Women's
Abortion Action Coalition, and the
Ann Arbor Human Rights-Radical
Independent Party also took part.
Originally intended as a protesta<
against the Nixon administraton's
economic policies, especially the
wage-price freeze, the demonstra-'
tion became a forum for dissident
views on the Vietnam war, abor-
Cion laws, the recent killings at Nixon says eConom-iC

the imprisonment of Angela 'avis.
