The picketers, members of the Ann Arbor Friends of the
Farm Workers (AAFFW), handed out leaflets and urged
shoppers not to shop at Krogers because the store stocks pri-
marily non-UFWOC lettuce. Shoppers were encouraged to do
their' shopping at Great Scott, which they claim is the only
food chain in Ann Arbor which stocks only UFWOC lettuce.
The group apparently experienced no opposition except
gents actions.
"If the OSS policy board does
not reaffirm its policy, then the
students should continue to sup-
port the policy anyway," she said.

Yesterday's picketing appeared
less intense than it had been when)
the boycott began, with only one
leafletter outside the Huron St.
store. A boycott organizer ex-
plained that picketers were also
present at two other local A&P
units, on Stadium and on Ply-
mouth. In addition, he said, many
would-be picketers were "busy{
driving persons to alternate shop-
ping areas."
Yesterday's activities outside the
A&P's succeeded again in dissuad-
ing "roughly half" the prospective
customers from entering the store,
according to a picketer.
When the boycott activities be-
gan last week, the protest was
more active, with persons enter-
ing the store, filling up shopping
carts and then abandoning them.
Student Government Council last
week endorsed the A&P boycott,
citing the suspensions along with
general A&P policies which it
found objectionable. SGC charged
A&P markets lettuce which is not
picked by the United Farm Work-
ers Organizing Committee mem-
bers.

ship Conference (SCLC).

Tuesday, SCLC charged A&P with

ard Rd. store when an assist-
ant-manager called the po-
lice.
However, since the AAFFW
picketers were not infringing on
the rights of any customers, no
action was taken against them.
In addition to carrying signs and
explaining their position to inter-
ested customers, the picketers
handed out information sheets as
well as typed copies of a state-
ment in support of the UFWOC,
which customers were told to give
to cashiers or the store manager.
The immediate effect of the pic-
keting seemed moderate, at least
in part because many customers
were not familiar with the issues
involved in the boycott. As one pic-
keter said, the "main effort was in
making people aware" of the situ-
ation and the boycott. Where pros-
pective customers were already
aware of the situation, however,
the efforts of the picketers were
more effective.
At Arborland, an AAFFW mem-
ber estimated that as many as Six-
ty or seventy customers either left
without doing their marketing or,
said that they would not be coming
to Krogers after this week.
Store officials generally would
not comment on the picketers or
the Kroger policy on purchase of
lettuce.
At Arborland the produce mnana-
ger would only say that "I have no
control" as to what brand of let-
tuce the store buys. An assistant
manager of the Krogers on Pack-
ard would make no statement on
the situation, claiming that any in-
formation would have to come from
headquarters in Livonia.
Bernardo Eureste and Ruben
Zamorano, graduate students in
social work and leaders of the
AAFFW boycott group, said that
in talking to the Livonia officials
earlier this week they were told
that the nationwide food chain
would take no position in this mat-
ter.

University studio. The music
school sponsors contemporary di-
rections concertssandcomposer's
forums where this music is pre-
sented.
Most of the students that work in
the studio feel that it is a good fa-
cility though it might lack a few
things which would make it much
more flexible.
The studio, built just before
Robert A. Moog revolutionized
electronic music, works primarily
with magnetic recording tape. This
gives the composer an exact con-
trol over his music, but also re-
quires that "a minute of music
takes several weeks of hard work
and splicing to produce," accord-
ing to Albright.
Moog's innovation enables a
composer to record much more
music on' tape before he has to
make a splice. New Moog equip-
ment at the studio, purchased last
summer, helps to alleviate the
Several years ago Kinkaid took
up the soldering iron himself. He
and Dave Bates, another composer,
are now so involved in building
that they sell their ownrequipment.
Bates and Kinkaid try to avoid'
tying the composer down to tape.
Their object is to come as close as
possible to having one minute of
work produce one minute of music
using the methods Moog innovated.
The directors of the University
studio would like to have this capa-
bility, but do not have the funds
at this time. "What we need is a
flexible situation, a center that
could function in all directions that
electronic music is going now,"
says Albright.
Albright would also like the stu-
dio to become more available to
others. Several years ago they
tried opening the studio up to lit-
erary school students, however,
and the studio was swamped, Al-
bright says.
After the Friday meeting, Vice
President for Student Services Ro-,
bert Knauss, expressing disap-
pointment that the OSS p o li c yf
was rejected, said, "Although this
action changes the OSS p o li c yF
dramatically, I will enforce it."
Knauss added that he was pleas-'
ed with the role OSS played in
getting the new policy. "The prin-
ciple function of OSS", he said,'
"is to educate and advocate.In
this instance we did bothand
the result is a much stronger
statement of University-wide pol-
icy than ever before.
"It is stronger than any other
University policy," he added.
Later, Knauss said that t h e,
new policy "washes out the OSSj
policy."
SGC President Marty Scott said,
"I do not think the Regents pol-
icy does anything except reject thej
OSS policy in a nice way." He
criticized the new policy as weak
on the grounds that it would be
impossible to enforce and it would
only have a token impact on cor-
porations.
Business and Law School place-
ment office officials were unavail-
able for comment.

This new regulation means that
if 'a graduate student works for
24 months as a teaching assistant
and then becomes a research as-
sistant, he may only hold the se-
cond appointment for 24 months.
Under present LSA regulations,
a person may hold a teaching
assistantship for up to five years,
after which time he is still eligi-
ble to work as a research assist-
ant or staff assistant.
Craig Harris, a sociology teach-
ing fellow, pointed out that many
graduate students are unable to
finish their degree program in four
years. He cited a survey conducted
by the American Sociological As-
sociation which showed the med-
ian time required to complete a
doctoral program in sociology was
eight years.
The proposed four year limit on
assistantships might thus be a
hardship for many graduate s t u-
dents.
Drafts of the new proposal are
now being reviewed by the deans
of the schools and colleges, insti-

The teaching fellows also object
to the fact that no graduate stu-
dents were contacted concerning
the proposal. "We only got this
information [the proposal] by ac-
cident," said Mary Fox.
Both Fox and Harris are mem-
bers of the Graduate Assistants'
Coordinating Committee (GACC
which was hastily formed t h i
weekend to organize graduate op-
position to the proposal.
A statement released yesterday
by the GACC said:
"We are not opposed to a
formal statement of a graduate

such a statement of that pro-
gram should be an improvement
over our present situation. Vice
President Smith's proposals are
