The months of work that went

troversial report at last pro-

week when the literary college4
(LSA) faculty agreed to the
commission's recommendations
for a change in the distribution
requirement system.
At a special Monday night'
meeting, the faculty ended a
lengthy, intense debate on dis-
tribution with a vote in favor
of a new system allowing stu-
dents to plan distribution with an.
advisor. B.A. and B.S. candi-
dates will be required to spread
30 credit hours among the na-
tural sciences, social sciences,
and humanities outside their
major field.
The new system is described
as permitting students to adopt'
distribution courses that fit with'
their overall program. The plan
would be prepared at the end of
the student's first year and ap-
proved as a "contract" with
LSA.

The commission's lengthy re-
port concluded that the regents
suffer "the lack of focus on dis-
cussion of educational issues"
during their election campaigns.
Commission staff director Rich-
ard Beers complained that ma-
jor parties often choose their
regent candidates "just to fill
the ballot or balance the ticket."
The Regents themselves r~p-
peared to split on partisan lines
when asked to respond to the
report. Democrats criticized the
proposed appointments method,
while some Republicans said
they had always favored sucn a
plan. President Robben Fleming,
who sat on the commission, said
he didn't care much either way.
Interestingly, Fleming would
not take issue with the repor s
description of the regents as a
somewhat inefficient body.
Fleming alsosaid he continues
to support the movement for
fully legalizing student regents.
That effort has now taken the
form of a bill which has passed
the house and now faces the
state senate.

Dear John:
In these last two weeks of the campaign, if you're going to tell it
like it is, tell it all.
You have said Congressman Esch receives many contributions
from doctors. You didn't say that on the three votes that the
U.A.W. called key health votes, Congressman Esch voted for
what the U.A.W. considered "in the health interests of his
constituents."'
Tell it like it is, John.
You say Congressman Esch has received special interest money
and is therefore dominated by these interests. But you know that
Ralph Nader in his study on Congress said "Congressman Esch is
literally his own man.'
Tell it like it is, John.
You have tried to raise the specter of special interest money
buying a Congressional seat for Marv Esch. Yet as of August 31st
you had received $15,000 from the unions, of which over $9,000
came from the U.A.W.
Tell it like it is, John.
Tell it like it is, John. You chose the wrong district to run in. As the
Ypsilanti Press said, "we have trouble forgetting he's a Johnny-
come-lately."
