Zoology and Botany depts.
to merge for mutual benefit

Police arrest 25 picketers

By BARB KALISEWICZ t
The University's botany and
zoology departments will merget
into a single unit in July, ac-c
cording to Zoology Prof. Williamr
Dawson.j
The merger, Dawson said yes-'
terday, "will provide new asso-
ciations that might be profit-;
able professionally for the fac-
ulty, and on the other hand of-l
fer a better co-ordination ofr
course material on the intro-
ductory level." Dawson willt
head the new dpartment for its
first three years.
THE PLAN for the merger1
was passed by the faculty lastt
spring. The rules for govern-t
ance of the new unit are now
being drawn up.l
Dawson explained how thet
change will affect curricula:
"After taking the introductoryc
courses, students will be able t

to srecialize in specific 'tracks'
mre th-n thev do nmw, or . l-
ternatvelv, take a general .ra-l
gram in biology possibly com-
parable in concept to the BGS'
(Bachelor of General Studies) I
degree." He added that gradu-
ate curricula would become'
more specialized.
DAWSON also said that the
larger unit will encourage inter-I
action between the botany and
zoology faculty. "The two sys-
tems depend on each other,"
he noted.
The merger had its roots in;
a 1969 proposal to the faculty
to mergei three biological units:
the departments of botany, zool-
ogy, and cellular and molecular
biology. The faculty rejected
t'hat proposal.
In 1973, a committee made up
of members of the zoology and
botany departments studied for

several months the question of
re-organization, and presented
to the faculty a proposal for the
uinification of their departments.
The committee's only reser-:
nation regarding the plan, ac-
cording to Dawson, was their
fear that the departments might
lose "the tradition and excel-
lent reputation of their individ.
ual fields by going into some
larger unit."
The merger will be gradual,
Dawson said. "No one's pro-
gram will be thrown out of
whack. Our present undergradu-,
ate students will stay under the
existing concentration arrange-:
ments," he explained.
If any changes in the gradu-
ate curricula take place by Sep-
tember, Dawson added, the
present students will have the
option of changing to a new pro-
gram or continuing with the old{
on e.
Dawson remarked that the
two departments seem to be co-
,operating w e 11. "Everything{
seems to be willing to give it aI
chance," he commented.

chief University negotiatort
Charles Allmand called the ad-
ministration's final offer. GEO
refused the offer Wednesday,1
and likewise the University re-
jected a GEO package.
The GEO requested further}
bargaining but the University
declined, thus suspending nego-
tiations. The two teams will'
now enter formal hearings with
state appointed fact finder Pa-'
trick McDonald on Monday in
Detroit.
GEO negotiator Mark Kaplan
called the University's "ultima-
tum" statement "a threat"
adding, "Everything they've
ever presented us has been the
'last offer.'
THEY LOVE to bluff, but
they don't have any guts,"
claimed Kaplan.
The arrested picketers were
arraigned yesterday at 2 p.m.
and then released on personal
recognizance pending pre-trial
hearings. A March 28 court
date had been set for the 24 for
trespassing.' Rozeen's hearing
is scheduled for March 10.

KOSTER commented, "Over
the years whenever the Univer-'
sity can't solve their own prob-
lems they call on the Ann Ar-
bor police and now they're do-
ing it again."
The GEO has a videotape re-
cordinghof yesterday's arrestsa
which they plan on using in
court. They are presently com-
piling a list of assault charges
against University security per-
sonal and police officers, and

will use the videotape as evi-
dence in an assault charge
against Officer Ehnis for his
alleged mishandling of Rozeen
during the arrest.
GEO member Zena Zumeta,
a law school student and also a
law clerk for Koster contended,
"Ehnis' use of force was to-
tally unnecessary. He (Rozeen)
was just peacefully picketing."
THE ASSAULT charges will
not be brought until after the
March pre-trial hearings.

ROTC may face cut

(Continued from Page 1)
The LSA faculty voted over-
whelmingly three weeks ago to
uphold the faculty's 1969 move
to eliminate academic credit
for ROTC courses. ROTC stu-
dents receive credit from all
schools in the University except*
LSA, the Art School, and the
Music School.
COLONEL Marvin Grunzke
has informed Air Force head-
quarters of the faculty's re-:
fusal to grant credit. Hoowever,
he does not expect a review be-
fore the fall.
In contrast to Army and Air
Force enrollments, which plum-
meted sharply in 1969 and nev-
er climbed back to pre-Vietnam
war levels, the number of stu-
dents opting for Navy ROTC
has remained fairly constant.
According to Captain William
Rigot Navy has fewer units,
throughout the country than the
other two groups, a major fac-:
tor contributing to its higher:
enrollment - 98 students this

hit with an eight per cent en-
rollment drop this semester.
Blaming the plunge on the
faculty's refusal to .grant aca-
demic credit for some ROTC
courses. Irish declared, "Half
my students are in LSA. When
they withdrew they gave the
credit issue and the course over-
load as reasons."
However, Irish yesterday de-
scribed his two year recruiting
program as "more successful
that I had expected." Irish
sends letters to all sophomores
every year inviting them to join
a six week training program in
Fort Knox, Kentucky in lieu of
the freshman and sophomore
ROTC programs. While Irish
only drew one man last year,
he has already received over 14
applicants for this summer, in-
cluding eight women. He de-
clared, "We have more girls
than we can handle."
While Irish does not expect
his unit to be dissolved, he said
a program is phased out with
