SGC Hits draft changes set by Regents By ROSE SUE BERSTEIN rejects com romise plan for 4'U, judiciary 4,000 protest talks o peacefully as Nixon Student Gov rnment Coun- cil last night rlefused to take steps toward implementing the campus-wide judiciary system approved by the Re- .f gents last spring - thus j eo- pardizing a major part of the University discipline system that has been in the making. 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 SGC nominees for the judiciary rated as one of mechanism's Court of Appeals. Court's most able In economy Protesters demonstrate outside Cobo Hall last night 'FLING HEA LTH: -lan leaves Supreme Court; on to make two appointments By TAMMY JACOBS and CHRIS PARKS 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 jAttica Correctional Facility, and the imprisonment of Angela 'avis.
