Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY LOOKING BACK I THE WEEK LSA changes The months of work that went into the Graduation Require- ments' Commission final, con- troversial report at last pro- duced permanenttresults lastI 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. suggesting quarter-time (t e n 1sight. The University says it.

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. -DAN BIDDLE ATTEND A HALLOWEEN PARTY ATr 114 E.

I 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.
