Curriculum Committee to rescind approval of six out of the
original 15 sections of the course.
The sections deleted from College Course 327 (issues,
strategies and analysis in political actiona) include those on
repression, corporations, independent political action, youth
liberation, the media, andgay liberation.

St. Antoin
"apointed
Law dean
By KRISTIN RINGSTROM
Law Prof. Theodore J. St. An-
toine will be appointed new Dean
of the Law School, President Rob.
bin Fleming announced yesterday
St. Antoine, a well known au-
thority on labor'law, was selected
*rom 30-35 candidates by a stu-
dent-faculty committee appoint-
ed by the Law School faculty. He
replaces Francis A. Allen, who wil
leave July 1. ,
The appointment was made
amid criticism from thesstudents
on the search committee who ob-
Eected to their alleged lack of in-
fluence on the committee's recom-
mendations. The committee was
composed of six faculty members
and two students.
They were pleased with the
choice that Fleming had made
ro among the list, however."We
nd ourselves greatly pleased and
thoroughly encouraged by the ap-
pointment of Prof. St. Antoine,"
the students said in a statement.
"We can say this not only from
the standpoint of his distinguish-
ed record, but also from the over-
whelming level of law student sup-
rt manifested to the commit-
tee."
"Despite our disagreement with
the nature of the final panel and
many of the committee's pro-
cesses, the law school, albeit for-
tuitously, has an outstanding new
dean," they added.
M St. Antoine joined the Law
School faculty in 1966. Before,
returning to the University to
teach, St. Antoine practiced law,
mostly at the Supreme Court level.

Curriculum Committee is look-
ing at this course in ways be-
yond the normal."
At a meeting Monday, the
Course Mart Committee reviewed
the proposed sections and recom-
mended to the Curriculum Com-
mittee that the six sections be
deleted.
Psychology Prof. Ronald Tikof-
sky, secretary of the Curriculum
Committee, said last night that
each section of the course was
"separately examined and evalu-
ated" and that the decisions were
conscientiously made and essen-
tially unanimous.

Special To The Daily
DETROIT - Atty. Gen. John Mitchell announced yester-
day the government would appeal a federal district court
opinion declaring unconstitutional the wiretapping of sub-
versive domestic groups without a court warrant.
U.S. District Court Judge Damon Keith had ruled Monday
that the Attorney General does not have the right to order
electronic surveillance of domestic groups in cases involving
national security.
According to Keith's ruling the government is required
to present evidence that it had gathered through wiretapping

bombing of the Ann Arbor CIA office in September, 1968.
In addition, Plamondon, along------_ - - -

The Justice Dept. has indicated
that an appeal notice will be filed
by the end of the week. It is not
clear, however, whether the appeal
will be filed in. the 6th Circuit
Court of Appeals in Cincinnati or
with the U.S. Supreme Court.
In any case, an appeal by the
government would delay the start 1 iC
of the trial at least a month.

Scott Bass, another student
member of the Curriculum Com-
mittee, said that reasons for the
deletion of the sections were be-
ing collected and would be pub-
lished shortly.
When informed of the decision
of the policy or to schedule a mass
demonstration at the next Curric-
ulum Committee meeting, he said
that, "We're talking about curric-
ular matters, not about politics,"
and termed the action "stupid."
One participant at the policy
board meeting, stating that teach-
ers were not present at the Com-
mittee meetings, charged the de-
letion was a "trial without a hear-
ing."
