The Regents yesterday held a special meeting to discuss
the proposed University judicial system, and draft any altera-
tions they intend to make in the plan.
The Regents contacted after the meeting said they made
mostly technical changes to help clarify language, making
no substantial changes in the judiciary plan. However, they
did not specify what changes they will recommend.
The Regents will meet in closed session next Thursday
with the judiciary committee to discuss the proposed changes.
In their open meeting the next day, the Regents may make
a final decision on the judicial system for the University
community.

mended that local draft boards ao-

Corps, Teacher Corps or VISTA.
The proposal, yet to be approved

It was one of several recommen-
dations to flow from the task force.
which met privately last fall with
conscientious objector and draft
counseling groups.
The panel drafted new alterna-
tive service guidelines in an effolt
to find nonmilitary public service
jobs for the growing ranks of CO's.
Selective Service estimates there
is a backlog of about 6,000 CO's
awaiting assignment to cuerent;y
allowable jobs in hospitals or other
nonprofit social agencies.
One proposal before the task,

there was basic agreement up-
on "essential principles" of the
proposed j u d i c i a r y. He de-
clined further comment on re-
visions proposed by the Re-
gents.
Regent James Waters (D-Mus-
kegon) said most of the Regents
favored the proposed judiciary's
plan of using randomly-selected
student juries in cases involving
student defendants.
Several student groups on cam-
pus have said the jury-by-peer
provision is essential to their sup-
port of the plan.
On Thursday, President Robben
d Fleming-who also attended yes-
terday's session - indicated he
favors a judiciary which uses a
mixed jury of students and faculty
members to try all defendants.
However, Regent Paul Brown
(D-Petoskey) said, "I think an
all-student jury will be acceptable
by a majority of the Regents,"
adding that only afew voiced ob
jections to the jury-by-peer pro-
vision.
Waters said the Regents may
revise the judiciary's requirement
for unanimity in some jury deci-
sions.
Waters indicated that the Re-
gents discussed the possibility of
the jury determining punishmentt
by a majority vote and guilt by aI
unanimous one.,

It is an attempt, Bloom says, to make
politics more representative.
He calls the matter of representation
the major issue of his campaign against
Faber. Calling Faber "unrepresentative",
Bloom claims Faber represents the weal-

He says Faber "can't understand t h e
problems" of those who live downtown
and in the student sections.
Criticizing Faber as "a compromiser."
he feels he will ultimately have to suppor
it because it might lessen the penaltie
for marijuana possession.
He adds the city should also "gat ri
