The following policies and pro-
cedures shall apply to \classified
research at the University:
I. The University will not en-
ter into or renew federal con-
tracts or grants that limit open
publication of the results of re-
search. This General Policy will
be suspended only in cases where
the proposed research is likely
to contribute so significantly to
the advancement of knowledge
as 'to justify infringement of the
freedom to publish openly. In all
cases the burden of proof rests
with the faculty member who
propases the contract or grant.
II. The University in its en-
deavors t h r o u g h research to
broaden knowledge will not en-
ter into any classified research
contract, any specific purpose or
clearly foreseeable result of
which is to destroy human life
or to incapacitate human beings.

was "a delay between the sett-
ling of the record and the filng
of briefs by the defense."
Atty. David Goldstein, hand-
ling some of the defense apneals
also felt that the large number of
defendants slowed the anoeal pro-
cess. But he said in addition that
he felt that the prosecutor's ,ci
fice was "hoping that the cases
would go away."
I III. The University will not en-
ter into any contract which
would restrain its freedom to dis-
close (I) the existence of the
contract, or (2) the identity of
the sponsor. and if a sub-con-
tract is involved, the identity of
the prime sponsor.
IV. The University will not
enter into any contract which
would restrain its freedom to
disclose the purpose and scope
of the proposed research. This
policy will permit informed dis-
cussion within the University
concerning the appropriateness
and significance of such re-
search.
V. A Review Committee will
consider all requests for exemp-
tion under the policy stated in
Paragraph I and will determine
that all proposed classified re-
search conforms to the provisions
of Paragraphs II, III and IV.
a) There will be 12 members
of the Committee, nine drawn
from the Faculty Senate and
elected by the Senate Assembly,
plus three students. The Commit-
tee shall be broadly representa-
tive of the University community,
and in particular an attempt shall
be made to include: (i) two per-
sons who are engaged in classi-
fied research .at the time of their
appointnent, and (ii) two per-
sons who indicate that they are
philosophically opposed 'to clas-
sified research.
(b) Formal approval of any
proposed research requires at least
t seven affirmative votes.
(c) The Committee will make
public full minutes of its discus-
sions and a record of its votes.

present level, that would mean a;
total tax of 6.2 per cent.
Not all officials agree that the
income tax is best alternative,
however.
Other alternatives mentioned by
various officials include using
taxes on commercial and indus-
trial properties' to finance all
school districts, while permitting
the individual districts to tax in-
comes or residential property to
enrich the educational program.
Another possible alternative is
a statewide property tax, which
according to one official may re-
quire a constitutional amendment
allowing the state to levy addi-
tional mills above the number al-
lowed by the present constitution.
Whatever system the legislature
adopts will require that they also
find a formula for distributing
and allocating funds,
According to one official, the
state will probably not impose a
flat-rate allocation for all stu-
dents without taking into consid-
eration special needs.
revenue. The obvious problem
with this though, it that the dis-
parities so disturbing in the pres-
ent system could very well con-
tinue.
Some officials in wealthier dis-
tricts believe that a court ruling
in favor of Milliken and Kelley
could have a "devastating" effect
on wealthier school districts. This
could happen, they believe, if in-
dividual districts are not pro-
vided with means to enrich their
educational programs.
Other educators and school of-
ficials are concerned that instead
of raising the quality of the state
system, a centralized system to
disperse funds will tend to lead
to statewide mediocrity.
However, State Board of Educa-
tion President Edwin Novac, be-
lieves that a restructuring of the
financing system will upgrade the
state system as a whole.
Bruce MacPherson, superinten-
dent of Ann Arbor schools, be-
lieves that the state must find a
way to create equal educational
opportunities for students. He did,
however raise a number of ques-
tions about the proposed system.
McPherson expressed concern
that centralized control of funds
might cut into the local commun-
ity's ability to make decisions in
other areas. He said implications
of a ruling making the property
tax system unconstitutional raise
the spectre, of state control, which
he hopes will be avoided by allow-
ing for "flexibility for local op-
tions."
However, a statement issued
yesterday by Milliken and Kelley,
A said about the suit that it is fa-
shioned so "as to bring fairness
to the financing of schools with-
out altering in any way our tra-
ditional system of local control."
Novae believes that the ma-
jor effect on local school boards
will be to free them from the
time-consuming worries of work-
ing to raise funds.
"Local administrators spend too
much of their time working to
raise money," he said.
"If the state assumes the re-
sponsibility for this, administra-
tors could spend more of theirr
time improving the quality of
educations."
He cited students in special edu-
cation programs, vocational edu-
cational programs, and physically
and culturally disadvantaged stu-
dents as needing additional reve-
nue to equalize educational oppor-
tunities.
The legislature will also have
to decide whether to set a state
ceiling on pupil expenditures, and

has already had his appeal reject-i
ed, and two have not yet had their
initial trial. To further ^onfuse the
matter, there are two differing
opinions from the Michigan Court
of Appeals on the constituticnality
of the contention statute. The more!
recent one follows the lead of the
U.S. Dist. Court in finding the
law too vague.
This would seem to brighten the
chances of those on appeal, but
Hensel says that though it will af-
fect the cases, it will not decide
them.
GoldAtein is optimistic about the
outcome of the appeals. "We will
be ultimately victorious," he says.
But the spectre of fine and im-
prisonment still hangs over the
defendants.
