turned over to the Central Stu-
dent Judiciary (CSJ), which had
asked to hear the case.
David Goldstein, an attorney
representing Denton, then made a
brief argument before the board
challenging the legality and jus-
tice of proceeding with the hear-
ing without ruling on the pro-
cedural matters presented first.
Carrington, speaking for the
board, concluded however that
there "is nothing inappropriate'
about going ahead to hear what
they (the complaintants) have to
says"before ruling on procedural
questions:
At that point, Denton asked to
confer with his attorney.
After about half an hour of dis-
cussion about 40 spectators decided
to leave rather than stay in any
capacity. They also rejected a
suggestion that they disrupt phy-
sically the board proceedings.
As Denton was leaving, Car-

rington came up to him and pri-
vately asked him to remain. Car-
rington told Denton that he had
publicly opposed the penalty of
expulsion and hinted that he,
might well be lenient in this case.
Then, with the hearing room
largely empty the board took tes-
timony from Galler and one of his
students present at the incident
in question.
Galler paraphrased his original
letter to the graduate school in
which he made his complaint
against Denton,
The incident took place on
March 26, when, Galler testified,
a "group of people came into the
classroom'and stood in the back
of the room near the entrance."
"Various people began to shout,"
Galler said, "including Denton."
"'What are you doing in here?'
and 'Scabs' were some of the
shouts," according to Galler.
Galler stated that "Denton ap-I

peared to be the leader of the
group," although Galler could not
positively say if Denton joined in
with the other strikers, who were
singing and chanting.
Galler said he then wrote "Hit-
ler, 1933" on the blackboard which
was erased by a girl who ran up
from the back of the room.
Galler said he dismissed the
class five minutes early.
Carrington and the other mem-
bers of the board present, Prof. V.
L. Liu, of the aerospace engineer-
ing dept. and Prof. Norman Kemp
of the zoology dept. questioned
Galler.
Galler testified that he was able
to recognize Denton on M a r c h
26 because of Denton's "interest-
ing face." Galler then offered to
take an oath, emphasizing his con-
fidence that he had correctly iden-
tified Denton in his complaint.
Galler also said that although
"no one was physically pushed"
in the incident, there was a "dis-
ruption of total noise."
Galler further stated that he
had "no personal feeling against
Denton." He said that he was
familiar with Denton's political
activities and while he felt Denton
was "sincere" he generally dis-
agreed with him.
The board, which still must rule'
on procedural objections, will not
make any decisions without the
full participation of the two 'stu-
dent members, the board s a i d ,
who will be informed of the day's
proceedings through use of tape
recordings of the entire hearing.
The board has been erpowered
to report findings and recom-
mendations following the inquiry
to the executive board of the grad-
uate school.

what they want. This is the kind
of thing we want to avoid -
bloodshed - but we're tired of
just being pushed and pushed."
Current says tnat a black teen-
aged group formed this summer,
called the Blackstone Rangers, is
now effectively defunct due to
what she called "intense police
harrassment" of any youth who
wore the group's jacket.
While the community is trying
to effect changes-in police meth-
ods, Current expressed its feelings,
as one of resignation to the pres-
ent situation. "We're all accus-
tomed to this kind of action, it
just continues to boil within you."
Krasny stresses, howeyer, that
changes are constantly instituted
within the police department, the
more recent dealing specifically
with increased training of police-
men in the social and psychologic-
al areas of human behavior.
Members of the black commu-
nity supported Current's state-
ments with their own experiences
with the police.
"I've had dealings with police
for several years now, since my
children reached their teens," says
Mrs. Thelma Williams.
She explaines that her fifteen
year-old is regularly involved with
the police.
"Two weeks ago," she said, "he
was picked up for carrying a burg-,

lary tool, a screw driver. He was
taken to city hall, unclothed, and
searched thoroughly. Later he was
released. I didn't even know he
had been picked up until he re-
turned home."
Twelve years ago, when her old-
est son was fifteen, she said the
situations with the police and her
older son were similar. "They
just don't give a damn," she says.
"I'll resign myself for now, but
inside I'm boiling."
Another mother said that police
commonly pick up black youths
arrest them and then never follow
through on the charges. "You just
don't know what they're going
to do," she said.
Lai'ry Wright, a senior in an
Ann Arbor high school and a
member of the Blackstone Ran-
gers, spoke of personal dealings
with the police' this summer.
"Every morning as I walked to
work," he said, "a squad car fol-
lowed me. When I reached my
destination, the car would circle
the block twice, and then leave,
only to repeat the performance the
next day."
Another high school senior,
BULJ policy board member Ferry
Campbell, spoke yesterday of the
roots of the black's bitterness to-
wards police. "The police say little
things which aggravate the kids,
the kids resent it and talk back,
F and there you are."

......... C ),mk

By EDWARD ZIMMERMAN
A medical s c h o o 1 applicant
whose acceptance was reversed
last monthhad her rejection re-
affirmed Monday by University
President Fleming, after a discus-
sion between Fleming and Rep.
John Conyers (D-Detroit).
Earline Davis was accepted by
the medical school in April and
then refused admission when it
was learned that she had omitted
information on her application,
according to Acting 'Dean John
Gromball.
In a letter to Miss Davis, Groin-
ball said that her admission had
been revoked because she had6
failed to state in her application
that she had previously attended
medical school at Howard Univer-
sity in Washington, D.C. and had
been "denied readmission because
of deficiencies in scholarship."
The Medical School's applica-
tion asks if the applicant has
been matriculated at or been
denied readmission to any other
medical school.
Conyers says he intervened ina
the case because Miss Davis asked

for his help. He claims there were
"extenuating circumstances" in
Miss Davis' case. Conyers and Miss
Davis contend that she believed
she had left Howard "without
prejudice." Miss Davis says she
left Howard early in the semester
without taking any tests and
therefore thought she could with-
draw.
Last Friday, Conyers met withj
medical school Associate Dean of
Student Affairs Robert Green,
who told him that the question'
was whether Miss Davis had
matriculated at Howard.
Conyers met with Fleming Mon-'
day, but said that Fleming will
not seek reversal of the decision.
He asked Fleming to examine
.the "human element" and go
beyond the "technical element."
Conyers said that he was "dis-
heartened" by President Fleming's
decision. He said that it is a
"tough situation where legal tech-.
nicalities have obscured the case."
He, and Miss Davis say they have
not made a decision on what will
be their next move but Conyers
said that he is not going to drop
the matter.

The right kind of lamp can do
good things to your head.
As well as your studies.
Like the Panasonic
Fluorescent Desk Lamp. With
an electronic gizmo that gets 22
watts of light out of a 15-watt
bulb. And sends some of that
extra light through the trans-
lucent shade that keeps your
brilliantly illuminated crib
notes from blinding you.
And if you have a small

who likes to sleep occasionally, you ought

infinite series of settings.1
From a cram-night 150 watts
all the way down to a Saturday-

Now that you are
adequately enlightened as to
the relevance of proper
illumination to emotional
homeostasis, ambulate to that
repository of knowledge and
sweat shirts, your college
bookstore. Where you can look
at Panasonic lamps and
