By HESTER PULLING 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.

The proposal, yet to be approved by Selective Service headquarters. would apply only to those youths granted CO. status-not to all whd are seeking such classification. 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, 4present at yesterday's closed s e s s i o n also indicated that 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.

He calls the matter of representation the major issue of his campaign against Faber. Calling Faber "unrepresentative", Bloom claims Faber represents the weal- thy, suburban part of the ward. 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 of undercover agents' 'and concentrat on "hard drugs."
