By CHUCK WILBUR Campus police F r i d a y sealed up the English department of Fresno State College with metal plates and bolts and stationed officers on the building's roof following the ouster of a professor as head of the depart- ment. Nine other faculty members were dis- missed from the school earlier this week. Police refused to explain their actions. The campus experienced three days of protest rallies and a $1 million firebombing at its computer center last spring after eight members of the ethnic studies faculty were fired. Dr. Eugene Zumwalt, who was ousted as chairman of the English department, des- cribed the police action as "an armed in- vasion" which he felt was only one example of the college's misuse of police power on campus. Zumwalt said he saw no justifica- tion for the measures taken by the police. Referring to the college administration, Zumwalt said yesterday, "We are dealing with very frightened and unstable men who have a history of this kind of action." According to Zumwalt, twenty to thirty faculty members have been fired in the past year for political reasons. He described the firings as a "political purge, an attempt to wipe out opposition of any kind," on the part of the administration. Zumwalt, a liberal, has been an outspoken critic of the administration. Despite his strong criticism he has been described as measured and soft-spoken. Questioned about the closing of the Eng- lish department and Zumwalt's removal, col- lege information director Curt Turk said yesterday, "The college has no official com- ment." Zumwatt said he could see "little reason for welding metal plates on office doors because. there was nothing much inside ex- cept routine records and mailboxes for the department's 33 professors." Officers bolted entrances to the depart- ment, shut windows and metal plates, and communicated from the roof via walkie talkies. They said all locks would be changed and the building guarded by patrols. Zum- walt was banned from any further admin- istrative functions but remains as a teacher because of tenure. The professors from various departments dismissed starting Tuesday includes Ran- dall Mabey and Everett Frost, who addressed anticollege administration rallies at which See FRESNO, Page 8 -Associated Press Protest condemns Soviet action Demonstrators in Chicago yesterday burn a Russian flag in front of the Chicago Civic Center.

'U' students, workers ask boycott on lettuce Irish jail 11 in hunt for terrorists DUBLIN, Ireland (P) - Irish detectives, backed by emergency powers allowing in- ternment without trial, seized 11 men yes- terday in a widening hunt for underground terrorists suspected of hatching a kidnap plot against the Dublin government. While a puzzled Irish public awaited de- tails of an alleged conspiracy outlined yes- terday by Prime Minister Jack Lynch, police increased guards on the homes and offices of foreign diplomats and top government officials. In Britain, a special police "Irish Squad" tightened surveillance of Irish extremists be- lieved planning raids on British military armories and weapons factories. An Irish citizen held in a British j a i I emerged as a key figure behind Lynch's un- expected decision to revive parts of a 1940 law giving the government power to intern citizens without trial. Authorities were not talking but unof- ficial sources said Irish radicals had threat- ened to rob banks and kidnap or kill top public officials if Britain extradites Patrick Francis Keane to face murder and robbery charges in Ireland. Keane, 32, is accused of killing an Irish policeman during an armed bank holdup in Dublin last April. His appeal against ex- tradition will be heard in January by the House of Lords, Britain's highest court. As usual in Irish upheavals, the outlawed Irish Republican Army was involved. The IRA, a splintered paramilitary group dedi- cated to revolution and ending British rule in neighboring Northern Ireland, said four of its men were among the 11 detained in Dublin yesterday. An IRA spokesman said the four were re- leased after two hours of questioning. There was no word on the fate of the o t'h e r seven, seized in a house near Dublin air- port. The government made no statement on the arrests. A similar policy of official si- lence was maintained when internment pow- ers were invoked during a wave of IRA attacks 10 years ago. Lynch said Friday the government had received information about "a secret armed conspiracy in the country." He appeared to brandish internment as a warning to ex- tremists, saying the governmet would use its powers "unless this threat is removed." Internment centers were reported being prepared, including a military detention camp outside Dublin near the Curragh, Ire- land's biggest horse race track. Liam Cosgrove, leader of the opposition to Lynch's Fianna Fail party, said he would demand that the government explain its internment plans in Parliament Wednesday. Brendan Corish said the Labor party he leads is unalterably opposed to detention without trial. Students at University College in Dublin picketed Fianne Fail offices to protest the "introduction of a police state." The Irish Independent said the prime minister's move "may herald a s e c o n d national crisis within seven months" and a spokesman for one radical group comment- ed: "If Mr. Lynch opens his concentration camps, we will have them closed again inside a month, at whatever cost." Powers of internment- were last used in Ireland in 1957-62 during an IRA cam- paign along the border with northern Ire- land. Scores of IRA suspects were held then at the internment camp. awaits fin( By CHRIS PARKS Ann Arbor may soon become the second city in the United States to possess a "Dial- A-Bus" service. Dial-A-Bus is a variable route, mini-bus service, developed by the Ford Motor Com- pany and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The city's application for $208,000 to help fund the project is presently awaiting ap- proval by the State of Michigan. The rest of the money will come from 'City Council, which has pledged $16,000, and from various organizations that have agreed to donate equipment and technical assistance. The initial revenues from the system are also being counted upon to help meet the total cost of the project, set at $415,850. City director of Parking and Traffic En- gineering John Robbins says the city is also exploring the possibility of getting federal assistance for the project. The assistance would come in the form of grants for the purchase of capital equipment such as com- puters and communication equipment. Robbins says that although buses would still "go from point A to point B" they would be able to make detours along the route to drop off and pick up passengers. To summon a bus, a prospective pas- senger would have to call a computerized dispatching center and register his or her location and destination, according to a city hall infortnation display. The computer would then calculate a route for the mini-bus when the bus left on its way to pick up passengers. The projected fare, for a trip of any length, would be 50 cents, according to Robbins. The project, if implemented, will operate under the jurisdiction of the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority, which presently runs a regular bus service in the city. The new system would not serve areas already served by the existing bus network, says Robbins. 1l funding The system would, at first, be confined to the city of Ann Arbor, although Rob- bins says the specific service area has not yet been defined. Service could, according to Robbins, be expanded in the future to ex- tend to neighboring areas including Ypsi- lanti if an agreement was made to share the costs. Robbins says that there is "deep interest by both the city and the Ann Arbor Trans- portation Authority" in the Dial-A-Bus pro- ject. The importance of the program to Ann Arbor lies; he says, in the fact that the number of heavy traffic hours in a Uni- versity town renders a traditional line-haul bus system ineffective. State Supreme Court to I on Ann Arbor voter regis By GERI SPRUNG The State Supreme Court will hear an ap- peal by three former University students who are disputing the current residency re- quirement for registering to vote in local elections. The court decided last week to hear the case, the outcome of which will affect stu- dents at the University and whether they will be able to vote in Ann Arbor if they wish. The controversy stems from a statute that in defining residency, provides "no. elector shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence by reason of his being . . . a stu- dent at any institution of learning." State courts have interpreted this "no elector" statute to require a student, before being allowed to vote in a local election, to show that he intends to reside in that locality for an appreciable length of time. Sally Wilkins, Jeanne D'haem and Ken- neth Jendryka plan to challenge the courts' decision on three grounds. First, they are challenging the power of the Legislature to define residency in the manner in which they did. In 1963, when the present state constitution was adopted, the Legislature was given the power to define residency and to establish the time required for local residency. The legislature proceeded to define resi- dency as "that place at which a person habitually sleeps, keeps his or her personal effects and has a regular place of lodging." If that person has more than one resi- dency, "that place at which such person resides the greater part of the time shall be his or her official residence for the pur- poses of this Act," the provisions continued. Then the Legislature went further to pass the "no electors" statute. The appellants are therefore challenging that by adding the "no electors" provision, the Legislature went further than it was granted to define residency. Second, if the State Supreme C o u r t By CHUCK WILBUR Groups of students and workers at the University are moving to support a nation- wide boycott of all lettuce not picked by members of the AFL-CIO United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC). Local 1583 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employes 1AFSCME), which represents the Univer- sity's 2700 service and maintenance em- ployes, is supporting the boycott called by farm labor leader Cesar Chavez. According to Willy Collins, an AFSCME steward, "We have been urging our mem- bers to do all their grocery shopping at iear appeal tration case should decide the "no electors" provision is indeed constitutional, the appellants will challenge the lower courts' interpretation of the statute. The question would then center around establishing guidelines to define residency. The former students contend the present law is ambiguous and most of the interpreta- tion is left to local clerks. As a result of the ambiguity, they say, students have been un- justly denied the right to register. Neil Hollenshead, who was involved in the case at an earlier stage, pointed to an in- stance when a student was not permitted to register. The student's wife, he said, was permitted to register, since she was not a student and did not have to show intent to reside "for an appreciable length of time." Third, the appeal will contend that the statute fences out the student population from the rest of the population and by pre- venting them from voting violates the due process of the 14th amendment. The case was originally brought to cir- cuit court in February 1968 by eight students who were denied the right to register to vote under the "no electors" provision. The case was judged on whether the stu- dents had sufficient intent to reside in Ann Arbor "an "appreciable lentgh of time." It was decided that four of the students did have intent and were therefore allowed to vote, while four were not permitted to vote because they could not prove intent. One of the four students who lost the case moved out of the district. The remain- ing three appealed to the State Court of Appeals, which upheld the "no electors" sta- tute. Winter re oistration be ins- tomorrow Early registration for the winter term be- stores that carry UFWOC lettuce and to boycott stores that do not." Workers are urging students to refuse lettuce served in University dormitories and cafeterias and to register complaints with the University, she continued. She said she believed the University would change its purchasing policy if "enough students made a fuss about it." The University presently purchases let- tuce picked by non-UFWOC labor. Accord- ing to Halket Pattullo, manager of Univer- sity Food Stores, the University purchases "the best products at the best prices" with- out regard to other factors. An ad hoc student group, working in collaboration with the UFWOC office in Detroit, is seeking to encourage support of the boycott on campus. Arturo Rangel, a member of the group, says that the approach of finals has made it difficult to generate widespread support for the boycott. Rangel said some students were partici- pating in vigils at the Office of the Dow Chemical offices at Midland and the North- land shopping center. Dow is a part owner of Bud Antle, Inc., a lettuce grower who has obtained an injunction against boycott ac- tivities. At a meeting of the Social Work Student Union Assembly on November 18 a motion to support the lettuce boycott was passed unanimously. Another unanimous motion called upon stndents to boycott A&P stores, which, the motion said, do not stock UFWOC lettuce and to shop at Great Scott, K-Mart, Farmer Jacks or Wrigleys, which do. FACULTY CRITICIZES LEGISLATURE * LSAplan By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ A flurry of sharp criticism from literary college faculty members appears to have assured the defeat of a controversial proposal for creating a college-wide legislature composed of equal numbers of students and faculty members. In a series of recent memos to the student-faculty commit- tee which drafted the proposal, many LSA faculty members expressed their belief that the plan goes too far in granting students a voice in governing the college. The proposal would seat 40 student representatives and 40 faculty representatives on an "LSA Assembly," whose decis- ions would become literary college policy unless formally vetoed at a meeting of the faculty. Current legislative authority in the literary college is exercised by the faculty at its monthly meetings. Under the (aces defeat -The judgment of students in matters of college govern- ance is inferior to that of the faculty, and they should therefore not be given an equal role in legislative decisions; -More specifically, students should not have voting power in certain key areas which would come under the purview of the Assembly, including the setting of degree requirements, the determination of policies for admitting students to the college, and the setting of priorities for allocating the college's annual budget. -The veto power which the faculty would have over measures passed by the Assembly is "inadequate," because it would be politically difficult to use. The criticism of the proposal has resulted in a sharp split between the five students and five faculty members on the committee which drafted the nronosal ... .. ... .............
