Until then, SGC members will contact the Regents to communicate their dissatisfaction with several aspects of the judiciary draft. Schenk said if any of the Regents express interest in revising the proposed plan to assuage SGC's objections, Coun- cil will contact President Robben Fleming and Secretary of the University Richard Ken- G rot'dy to set up appropriate meetings. "At our regular meeting next Thursday, we will definitely make T our final decision on whether to o rs follow the steps, but I have no idea what that decision will be," 'ru Schenk said.

However, University Administra- tive Dean Robert Williams said yesterday that DOD has withdrawn support for a congressional bill providing subsidy funds, thus min- imizing its chances for passage. Williams emphasized that the withdrawal from the subsidy did not mean DOD intended to forego reimbursement entirely. According to Williams DOD is presently "try- ing to find a formula which will meet the needs of all institutions" with ROTC programs. In direct and indirect cost, the burden to the University of main- taining the ROTC program is about $200,000 to $300,000 a year. This includes annual expendi- tures of roughly $55,000 for sup- portive services such as secre- taries, roughly $50,000 a year for janitorial services and mainte- nance of North Hall and the lossj of $100.000 to $200,000 per year ihirh tha U niv it vrildnrnh- F Through the program a student can now obtain academic credit for subjects ranging from theI study of urban design in relation to urban problems or the history of American student movements to the investigation of constitu- tional criminal procedure or the history of blues. "And this g r o w t h has been achieved," says Pete Jacobson, a member of the Course Mart's gov- erning board, "without the alter- ation of the basic goal-curricular| innovation for the benefit. of the student." The growth of the program has not been without its problems, however, with frequent questions arising over the quality and ad- ministration of the Course Mart.

If the two reviewers and the supervisor of the employe involved all agree that sex discrimination exists, their finding is forwarded for review and action by the Uni- versity's executive officers. In cases where the three parties - the two reviewers and the sup- ervisor - disagree, each sends his or her own recommendations to the Ad Hoc File Review Board for review. The Board members are appointed by the University presi- dent and consist of at least three members representing both em- ploye and supervisor points of view. The Board's recommenda- ticns are forwarded to the Uni- versity executive officers for re- view and action. Employes can also request an investigation if they feel that their salaries are considerably less than those of their male coworkers. Be- cause the file review is scheduled to be done only once, these re- quests must be submitted to the See COMMISSION, Page 8 structure. While the University bears these costs, the Pentagon still pro- vides most of ROTC's funds, cov- ering such costs as the salaries of instructors, the instructional mIa- terial used in ROTC courses and scholarships to ROTC cadets.

According to Williams, however, ROTC escaped University reviews which resulted in the termination of several other programs, includ- ing the Center for Research on Conflict Resolution. This was due, he explained, to a two-year-old re- gental policy to maintain the pro- gram. At present the Navy, Air Force, and Army all use North Hall fore their officer training programs. According to Williams, however, North Hall is "not being used 100 per cent," and space in the build- ing exists which "could probably be used by other departments."

"There was a problem in that we had a city ordinance which was not being used," Mayor Robert Harris said yesterday. "I spoke to the city administrator about it and he spoke to the po- lice, and now the ordinance is being enforced." Harris added he is awaiting statistics of those prosecuted un- der the state law since the city ordinance was passed, but said, "I am mainly interested that city policy be observed from now o. The mayor said that while there are no exact criteria for determining which statute to prosecute under, he said he ex- pects the ordinance to be used if the offense is covered by it. - The new ordinance passed by a 6-5 margin made possession and sale of marijuana other than for profit a misdemeanor punishable by no more than a $100 fine and 90 days in jail. It was designed to provide the city with an alternative to the harsh- er state law. Under existing state law, pos- session of marijuana is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prisen and a $5,000 fine.

The exact reason for the in- crease in prosecutions under the city ordinance is uncertain.
