By HESTER PULLING
The Regents have drafted
several revisions in the pro-
posed University judicial sys-
tem, suggesting changes which
student members of the com-
mittee that proposed the plan
said last night they would not
accept.
The regental draft of the judi-
ciary plan, released yesterday by
the University administration, al-
tered the section of the plan deal-
ing with the makeup and powers
of the panel that will preside over
trials under the new judiciary.
While they retained a key ele-
ment of the proposal-the use of
a randomly - selected all - student
jury to decide guilt and punish-
ment in trials of students-they
stated that the jury would make
decisions by a majority vote. The
committee had proposed that de-
cisions be made unanimously.
Although the Regents will not
make a decision on whether to
adopt the plan at their meetings
this week, they will meet with the
judiciary in closed session tomor-
rowsto review the proposed revi-
sions. Last week the Regents
stressed that their revised draft
was "negotiable" and that no per-
manent decisions had been made.
On Friday, the Regents will hold
an open hearing on the judiciary
at 10 a.m. The administration is re-
quiring persons whowish to speak
at the hearing to contact Richard
Kennedy, secretary of the Univer-
sity.
At a meeting last night, the stu-
dent members of the drafting
committee said the change in the
presiding panel was unacceptable.
Under the regental draft, the pre-
siding panel would consist of a
judge, who would be an attorney
selected from outside the Univer-
sity community, accompanied by
two associate judges, one student
and one faculty member.
The committee had proposed
this composition of the presiding
panel for the first half of the one-
, year trial period of the new ju-
diciary.
For the second half, the com-
mittee had suggested use of a plan
favored by Student Government
Council and other student groups
-the use of two students and one
faculty member as associate judges
in trials of students, and two fac-
ulty members and one student as
associate judges in trials of fac-
ulty members.
At the end of the trial period,
one of the two plans would be,
made permanent.
However, in their draft of the
judiciary plan, the Regents de-
leted the plan favored by the stu-
dents, an action which prompted
considerable criticism at I a s t
night's meeting of the judiciary
committee.
"There is no way this judiciary
will go into operation without the
experimentation plan," M i c h a e 1
Davis, a student member of the
committee said.
Agreeing with Davis, Ed Kussy,
another student member, added,
''This plan is the essence of the
compromise, the heart of the
agreement."
The committee also levelled cri-
ticism at several other changes
drafted by the Regents, including:
-The use of a majority vote
rather than unanimity in jury de-
cisions;

PETITIONS CIRCULATED:
Committee formed to
support Angela Davis
By GENE ROBINSON
The Free Angela Davis Committee, a newly-formed or-
ganization designed to help "free Angela Davis and all other
political prisoners," held its first meeting Monday night and
formulated plans for future actions.
Patrick Thomas, a member of the group, reported that the
committee is currently circulating a petition advocating free-
dom for Angela Davis. Joel Block, another member, said that
the petition has over three hundred signatures.
The petitions will be used in further activities sUch as

wards any form of community
control of police or other commute-
ity services," the statement said,
citing that the RIP platform "has
specific proposals for community
control of all city seivices."
Although the RIP statement
stressed that party's position is to
use the campaign more to "edu-
cate people to the possibility of
radical change through local elec-
toral politics," than to win, it said
that "it is quite possible" that
Jerry De Grieck, the party's cm-
didate for second ward councilmen,
will be elected.
"Because Harris will be moving
to the right in order to insure his
*victory," the statement said. "it is
very important to have a radical
voice on City Council."
According to a party analysis, a
total of 1,500 votes in the ,econdj
ward would assure De Grieck
election.

again, it was decided to leave this

public readings, Thomas add-
ed. He said the signatures
were a "statement of commit-
ment" of t h e committee's
goals.
Davis is currently being held in
California pending trial, charged
with conspiracy and murder. The
charges stem from the "Soledad
Brothers" incident in which sev-
eral persons, including a judge,
were killed in an attempted es-
cape from a courtroom.
The weapons used in the inci-
dent allegedly belong to Davis,
and under California state law,
the owner of weapons used in a
crime can also be charged with
the crime.
The committee is open to all
members of t h e community.
Thomas said he hopes "everybody
on campus" will sign t h e peti-
tions, which set a nationwide goal
of one million signatures.

days of racial disturbances caused
the school to close down on Mon-

A school official said that Wil-

can find some solution to the prob-

Meanwhile, tensions in class-
rooms and hallways at Edmonson

Acting S c h o o I Superintendent

AAUP POLL

Interestin
By JIM IRWIN
Faculty members who responded to a re-
cent poll by the University's chapter of the
American Association of University Profes-
sors (AAUP) appear interested in organiz-
ing as a collective bargaining unit as a way
to gain salary increases.
Questionnaires were distributed in mid-
January to the University's approximately
2800 faculty members, excluding teaching
fellows. About one-fourth of the faculty re-
sponded to the poll.

facuity union grows,

-That no action be taken on collective
bargaining: 158 votes.
About 200 of the University's faculty are
now members of the local chapter of the
AAUP.
"The poll indicates more interest than we
expected in collective bargaining," says
Prof. Wilbert McKeachie, president of
AAUP's local chapter and chairman of the
psychology department. "A second import-
ant finding is the open-mindedness of most
faculty."
Unionization has long been deemed by

enthusiastic about organizing, but if it ap-
pears coming anyway, or necessary in order
to achieve equal priority with those groups
already organized, he will support such a
move."
Faculty pay scales have been particularly
threatened recently by the relatively small
increase in state appropriations received by
the University. Faculty members had orig-
inally been promised salary raises which
would require $10 million in new funds.
