Their ride was part of several events throughout the week which hope to focus concern on the city's environ- mental problems. Increase in 'U' bicycle traf ic ceea'tes need for routes, parki~ng Senate Assembly will begin what may be the final round of debate over University policies on classified and military research tomorrow afternoon. Assembly, the faculty representative body, will discuss a report issued last Tues- day by its Research Policies Committee (RPC) recommending limited reforms in policing the University's $5.5 million a year in classified research projects. Besides the proposals contained in the committee report, several other resolutions to change current guidelines on classified research, adopted in 1968, are expected. The Assembly session will begin at 3:15 p.m. in Dow Aud. of the Towsley Center for Continuing Education on the Medical Campus. Last March, after a heated debate on the subject, Assembly ordered RPC to develop its recommendations on the research issue. Previously, students and faculty mem- bers held protests, marches and a week-long fast to protest classified and military re- search at the University. They claimed that military projects here were aiding the U.S. effort in Vietnam and that secrecy should not be allowed at a university. Defenders of classified resarch arvued that the research has important peaceful applications and that the freedom of faculty members to do this type of re- search should not be denied. RPC issued a preliminary report in June and its final recommendations last week. The committee proposed more information on classified projects be given to the Clas- sified Research Committee (CRC), which reviews secret research proposals, and be made public. In addition, RPC urged a new Senate Assembly committee to reassess classified projects annually to assure that proposals approved by CRC did in fact conform to University policies. In these policies, the RPC report sug- gested two changes. One present guideline prevents classified research "the specific purpose of which is to destroy human life or incapacitate human beings." Controversy has arisen over how this provision should be interpreted, however. The report recommends new language stat- ing, "The University will not engage in any research, the specific purpose or clearly for- seeable results of which are injurious to human life and welfare." Furthermore, RPC suggests that policies on classified research be applied to all re- search at the University, regardless of whe- ther there are security restrictions on it or not. At least two resolutions seeking harsher restrictions on classified research are ex- pected to be presented before tomorrow's Assembly meeting. One will be a revised version of a reso- lution introduced last March by social work Prof. Roger Lind and medical Prof. Donald Rucknagel barring researchdthe results of which could not be published. Such a provision would eliminate all but four per cent of the University's $5.5 million in classified research annually, allowing only projects that are termed classified be- cause the researchers require access to clas- sified materials to prepare for an other- wise open project, The other resolution to come before As- sembly is expected to state that it is the general policy of the University not to ac- cept classified research. The resolution will, however, allow ex- ceptions when the possible benefits of the project for mankind far outweigh the clas- sified status. A new committee would be set up to hear requests for exceptions and the bur- den of proof will be on the researcher pro- posing a classified project. By BETH OBERFELDER To the delight of the city's handful of dealers, bicycles have reached a new pin- acle of popularity here. As the owners of the bike stores struggle to meet what one of them called "hundreds of backorders," city officials and enthusiasts are formulating policies to make riding bi- cycles, on both business and pleasure trips, more practicable. Despite the enthusiasm of bike riders for what environmentalists believe is the answer to many urban air pollution problems, the lot of the city's bike riders has not been entirely happy. The cars seem never to heed the wobbly cyclist, bike racks are crowded and thieves active. According to Bob Johnson of the City Planning Commission, the biggest thrust of the city's efforts to date has been to create ccessable and efficient bicycle routes. But before such routes can be instituted, John- son explains, "we have to find out where people want to go." Observers speculate that the majority of "commuter" bike traffic, as opposed to the more traditional children's recreational bi- cycle usage, is between the campus and the student communities in the older areas of the city. Recntly, city work crews have begun a $3.6C0 program of excavating 53 "curb cuts" hroughout the campus area to facilitate bike riding. SMOKE-IN AT CAPITOL But Mayor Robert Harris, himself a cy- clist, is concerned that the curb cut pro- gram, while progressive, is not entirely prac- tical. "The curb cuts seem to be too narrow. It involves so much concentration that you often forget to look before entering t h e street." The new bike routes are to be marked by internationally accepted blue and w h i t e "bicycle route" signs, although there is, city cfficials say, a shortage of the labor needed to erect them. But according to bicyclists, cuting down curbs is needed to ease the bump that every cyclist knows goes with riding in cities.

LOW FALL RUSH Sororities struggle against 'obsolete' Greek stereotype Police stand by, crowd gets high at Wisconsin marijuana festival By PAT BAUER "Sorority . . . don't let that word turn you off so fast!" says a recent Gamma Phi Beta sorority advertisement. During the bi-annual sorority rush now in progress, sorority women are busy trying to attract new members to their ranks. But the big problem seems to be getting people to listen. So far this year, about 250 women have registered for rush, compared with 1,600 signed up in 1966. In order to fill each house's quota, about 525 women must rush and pledge a sorority, Panhellenic Associa- tion officers say. But Panhel Chairman Shelley Shannon emphasizes that sororities are able to remain self-sufficient with con- siderably fewer residents. Many sororities have faced the member- ship problems by taking in boarders, who live in the sorority but are not members. Current estimates place the number of boarders in the University's 17 sororities at about 75. However few sororities have been unable to get themselves out of their financial bind. In the past year, two sororities were forced to close because of financial difficulties, bringing to three the number to fail in the past 25 years. According to Judy Carrol, Gamma Phi Beta's rush chairman, it's difficult to dis- pel what she considers to be obsolete soror- ity stereotypes. "We just want people to know that sororities aren't the same stuck- up cliquey places that everyone thinks they are," she says. Because the term "sorority" has been viewed in an unfavorable light for the past few years, sorority women say it's hard to find freshmen whose minds are still open to the Greek system. "We have to rush the freshmen in Sep- tember," says Carroll, because, if we wait until second semester, their Resident Ad- visors indoctrinate them so thoroughly that they wouldn't even want to rush." Despite the stereotypes accepted by most students, sorority women emphasize that See SORORITIES, Page 10 Faculty to hear Fleming speak President Robben Fleming will give his annual state of the University address to the faculty tomorrow night. The address, before the Faculty Senate, a ceremonial body, is set for 8 p.m. at Rackham Lecture Hall. Fleming will also present several awards to faculty members including the Distin- guished Service awards for instructors and assistant professors and the Distinguished Faculty Achievement awards. A reception in the League Ballroom will follow the program. By GREG D UKAS and DPUG JAC'IBS Special To The Daily MADISON, Wis.-"Free auue, free dope," chanted almost 1,000 demcnstrators yester- day, as they sm' ked marijuana and marched in drizzling rain from a lakeside park near the University of Wisconsin to the State Capitol, about a half mile away. Under the watchful eye of state police, particirants in the "first annual marijuana harvest festival" held a sm'ke-in and march * to protest the jailing cf Dana Beal, organizer of the 1970 and 1971 July 4 smoke-ins in Washington, D.C. Beal is now awaiting trial in Madison for possession of marijuana. Police, both at the dem, nstration and later last night, refused comment as to why mem- bers of the crowd we-e not arrested for possession and use of marijuana. Despite the open smoking of marijuana and taunting rF wolice, there were no arrest. until after the demonstration ended. At that time, about a dozen people were picked up for throwing rocks and breaking street lights. For the most part, however, the festival and march was orderly. "We're too wrecked to even antagonize the police," said one participant. The activities started at noon with a permit for the march had been granted to the "First Annual Marijuana Harvest Fes- tival ?nd Dana Beal Anti-Heroin Movement," a few weeks earlier. "Man, this crowd is so zonked, we can't even sing straight," said one Universicy of Wisccnsin junior on the way to the capitol. Others in the crowd expressed similar senti- ments. Cutside the capitol, police refused to com- ment cn th.e proceedings and stood watching as members of the crowd passed joints around freely. Speakers read off several demands of the group, including: legalization of marijuana, a free one-ounce per week allowance of marijuana, freedom for all "political and psychedelic prisoners," and an end to the Vietnam war, with peace treaty provision that the United States buy $100 million worth of marijuana a year from Vietnmeese farmers. The crowd then marched the few blocks to the courthouse and jail where Beal is being held, and several more speeches were made before the afternoon's activities ended.
