Regents leery
of reviewing
judiciary plan
By ROBERT SCHREINER
Several Regents contacted recently by Student Govern-
ment Council have said they will not now consider revising
the campus-wide judiciary system to meet Council's objec-
tions to the plan, it was disclosed yesterday.
SGC Member-at-Large Rick Higgins, who spoke to the
Regents, predicted last night that Council will vote affirma-
tively tomorrow to comply with "a list of administrative steps
for implementing the system at the earliest possible date-
most likely soon after the Regents meeting Oct. 21.

Anti-war
theme for
'U'parade
By MARCIA ZOSLAW
For the first time, the Univer-
sity's annual Homecoming parade
will roll to an official anti-war
theme.
While the overall theme for the
Oct. 30 weekend of Homecoming
will be "Let's work together," the
parade will center more specifical-
ly on "Let's work together to bring
the troops home now."
Lois Murphy, a member of the
local Student Mobilization Com-
mittee (SMC) originally propos-
ed the parade theme and collect-
ed 1000 signatures from the stu-
dent body to support her idea.
With the endorsement of Stu-
dent Government Council, the
University Activities C o u n c il
(UAC) Homecoming Committee
adopted the proposal at a meeting
earlier this week.
Dave Gordon, leader of the local
People's Coalition for Peace and
Justice (PCPJ) has plans that go
beyond the parade, however.
Gordon has proposed to band
director George Cavender that the
half-time- period of the Home-
coming Michigan - Indiana foot-
ball game be devoted to the anti-
war theme as well.
Suggesting that peace groups
might perform in some way dur-
ing half-time, Gordon has also
presented three two-minute for-
mations the band itself might
try.
One would have the band
marching in the form of a neace
symbol to the tune of "Where
have all the Flowers Gone?" Mov-,
ing to the second, the band would
regroup into a field of crosses.
playing "When Johnny Comes
Marching Home Again."
The last formation would have
the band in the shape of a dove
playing "Give Peace a Chanee."
Gordon suggested that ehoer-
leaders accomoany the band's exit
with "What do we want-PP~ce!
When do wedwant it-Now!" a
familiar chart of anti-war -dies.
Cavender has sqid h- en1l re-
lay these ideas to the band. ac-
cording to Gordon;

Last Thursday, Council voted 6-
4 to refuse to comply with the
steps outlined in a memo from the
office of Richard Kennedy, secre-
tary of the University, which per-
tained to the adoption of the ju-
diciary mechanism approved by
the Regents last spring.
Council's refusal to c o m p 1 y
caused much concern, since the
system cannot be put into effect
without the cooperation of SGC;
the Regents and Senate Assembly
-the top faculty body.
However, at the time of the re-
fusal SGC President R e b e c c a
Schenk said Council would make
a final decision on whether to fol-
low the steps-in effect, whether
or not to accept the new judiciary
-at a meeting tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, she said, Council mem-
bers would communicate their dis-
satisfaction to the Regents, in the
hope that they would alter several
aspects of the plan.
Higgins said he was able to con-
tact five of the eight Regents.
"I told them our objections, and
they listened," Higgins said. "But
each of them said they had al-
ready compromised and that they
considered the present plan to be "
an acceptable one."
The present system is a Regent-
modified version of the original
-raft drawn up by the Committee P
on a Permanent Judiciary, a tri- dan
partite group of students, faculty sch
members and administrators. It mar
provides for students to be tried had
by a jury of their peers-six other last
students-and includes six stu-
dents on the 12-member Court of fille
Appeals and one student on the ing
three-member panel of judges. thr
Council's objections deal mainly of
with the Repents' modifications.

NA TURAL RESOURCES:
cools curriculum reorganized
By ART LERNER
The natural resources school
has "essentially completed" its
broad reorganization which was
planned for this fall, according
to natural resource Prof. Steph-
en Preston.
The faculty decided last spring
to revamp the school's entire
internal structure and under-
graduate curriculum in an effort
to make its course offerings more
responsive to the rapidly chang-
ing environmental field, accord-
ing to James McFadden, natural
resources dean.
Following recommendations by
a committee of four students,
four faculty members and Mc-
Fadden, the school dissolved its
traditional departmental struc-
ture July 1, and also set up a
new "more flexible" undergrad-
uate program.
Instead of four independent
departments there are now three
broad discipline areas from which
representation to the school's
executive committee will be
drawn.
Previously faculty were re-
stricted to four departmental
units: forestry; landscape archi-
tecture; resource planning and
conservation; and wildlife and
fisheries.
..WProf. Preston
A MENDMENTS EXPECTED
Reaction to research vote guarded
The new discipline areas are:
biological and physical sciences;
resource policy planning, man-
agement and administration; and
environmental design.
Most faculty members seem
happy with the change in struc-
ture which eliminates distinct
departmental units.
"I generally approve of the
changes," resource ecology Prof.
Justin Leonard says. "Separate
departments in such a small
school were silly."
The new faculty structure
erases the boundaries between
departments and allows more
flexibility for staff members,
Preston adds.
Although wood science and
technology Prof. Glenn Bruneau
has "terribly mixed feelings
about the changes since the re-
organization," he welcomes the
new "opportunities" he feels are
open to him now.
"I'm talking to people I never
talked to before-a resource mix
within our own school which is
I healthy," Bruneau says.
"I'm involved in some new
areas that are making me do
some catching up," he adds.
"I've never worked so hard in
my life."
John Luton, grad, says reorg-
anization "has allowed me to go
into biometry, and other students
into other out of the way things,
to build a better curriculum."

To our readers
A new section in The Daily
will review the major news of
the University conimunity at
the end of each month. See to-
morrow's Daily for "Retrospect
-the month in review."
The primary alterations called for
by Council are a change in the
required jury verdict in determi-
nation of guilt from the present
five out of six to unanimity; giv-
ing the student and faculty associ-
ate judges power equal to the pre-
siding judge in deciding "points of
law" in the courtroom; and per-
mitting Council to directly ap-
point six students to the Court of
Appeals, rather than have nomi-
nees screened and chosen by the
Regents.
Higgins saidnthe Regents em-
phasized thG new judiciary sys-
tem, when finally put into effect,
will operate on a temporary basis
for' one year, at which time it is
subject to review.
"They seemed to be saying that
if our objections are borne out
over the year in the way the
mechanism operates, that they
will take them under considera-
iton," Higgins explained.

Reactions were cautious yester-
day in the wake of a vote Monday
by Senate Assembly indicating op-
position to most classified research
at the University.
Assembly, the faculty represen-
tative body, voted 31-15 to sub-
stitute a resolution-which stated
that the University as a general
policy would not accept classified
research - f o r recommendations
proposed by Assembly's Research
Policies Committee (RPC).1
The RPC recommendations urgel

Those who expressed dissatisfac-
tion over the resolution were re-

outcome, but hinted that the res-

which now reviews proposals for
secret research, said "there will be
a number of amendments to the

Kish refused to comment on theI
resolution itself, saying "it would
be premature to comment until
the resolution is in its final form."
