Residential College leadership
IN THIS WEEK'S University Record,
there was a request for nominations
for the directorship of the Residential
College. This is a very important position
in this University, one of great promise
and challenge.
.The Residential College was set up as
an alternative to the standard literary
college education. It was. a part of the
movement toward relevancy in educa-
tion, something which, unfortunately, is
dismissed now as a rather hackneyed
concept.
Students who choose to enter the Resi-
dential College find themselves entering
a community of both students and fac-
ulty. The concept of easy, intimate rela-
tionships between seekers and dispensers
of knowledge underlies most interaction,
and the formula boundaries which sepa-
rate most undergraduates from their pro-
fessors are non-existent here.
This sense of community encourages
an idealism in education that seems to
have disappeared elsewhere in this uni-
versity.
Reasons for this loss of idealism are
endless. But it seems that students of the
Residential College are survivors of those
who called for education not necessarily
geared to earning a living, but instead
education in what could almost be called
a classical tradition.
Education for education's sake is some-
thing which seems to have lost it's rele-
vance, when in actuality, education for
the sake of earning money is to be called
in question.
The Residential College needs leader-
ship. At this point, it is teetering on the
edge of survival, with LSA demanding
constant re-affirmation of its right to
exist. Not everyone is at this university
so they can get out and make a lot of
money. For those people who strive for
learning, in whatever sense they care to
define it, the Residential College needs
to be kept alive.
But, more than surviving, the Residen-
tial College can strive for new ways and
areas of learning. Admittedly, there are
and will be failures. That is the nature
of experimentation, and its validity lies
in the nature of change itself.
We hope this opportunity for innova-
tive and meaningful leadership is given
great attention by members of this com-
munity.

WHAT DO A 60-year-oldf

year-old Marxist from the N
lands have in common?
Both are over six feet ta

night to six in the morning.
students take them for g
and are even unaware of the
sence. Yet few would be as
without them.
Both Charles Justice, and
Cozak are security guardsi
of the largest dorms on th
versity campus. Despite the
ferent backgrounds and co
philosophies, both are cons
"effective" and even "except
security guards. They enc
similar situations and faces
problems, yet both have the
way of doing things, and the
approach to a common job.
Being a security -guard
more than trying to keep
through the wee hours of the
ing. David Foulke, Supervi
Security Services, says a g
primary role is "to protec
dents and their guests fron
siders." More important, ti
Foulke says a security guard
be "someone who can deal
diverse kinds of people," a
who "doesn't get uptight
long hair."
The 1,200 residents of South
certainly know that Hans
goesn't get uptight about
hair since he wears his ow
back in a long ponytail. A
1,200 residents of Bursley
know that "Mr. Justice,"c
ered a shoe-in into the S
Hall of Fame, has, in his
"dealt with people all my li
Perhaps, then, there is n
scription ' for being a s
guard.
CHARLES JUSTICE, who
up in Detroit and dropped
high school to pursue a s p
security:
N career, does not see his job as
former just "walking up and down the
I a 27- hall to see who's smoking pot.'
Vether- He has a genuine interest in the
students and according to the Burs-
ill and ley Hall building director, m a n y
d both consider him as one of their
ten at friends.
Many "I like people," says Justice, who
ranted has worked at Bursley for six
ir pre- years, and "I've never had a prob-
secure lem getting along with them."
He has friends all over t h e
Hans country and meeting "a lot of new
in two people," he says, makes his job
e uni- interesting.
eir dif- Hans Cozak, who has worked at
illiding South Quad for two years, views
sidered his job differently. Raised for the
tional" first ten years of his life in the
,ounter Netherlands, Cozak feels "it is
similar odd doing other peoples' business."
ir own "Checking out people is a has-
ir own sle," he says, although he ad-
mits that his B.A. in English from
means U-M has helped him communicate
awake with students.
morn- Describing himself as a Marxist,
sor of Cozak doesn't like to "challenge
guard's people," which he describes as the
t resi- toughest part of his job.
m out- Neither Hans nor "Mr. Justice,"
hough, as students call him, seeks to chal-
d must lenge anyone though.
w i t h "I won't do anything unless you
nd one do something to me," Hans e x-
about plains, while Justice does not "go
around looking for students' b a d
h Quad habits."
Cozak The clashing backgrounds of
1 o n g these two men, though, often. re-
vn tied flect their work.
nd the AFTER GROWING up in a drug-
H a 11 conscious decade, Hans doesn't
consid- make it his business to know about
Softball dope in the dorm. He tells resi-
words, dents just "to keep it in t h e i r
ife." rooms," unless he suspects traffick-
1o pre- ing or the use of hard drugs.
ecurity Justice, a man from an earlier
era, is much more concerned about
grew drug use. As an athlete, too, he
out of is strongly opposed to both drink-
o r t s ing and smoking.
The cop on the corner
"I can't see it," he says. "I was
too interested in sports to want to
smoke or drink:"
When Justice walks down a hall
pervaded by the smell of mari-
juana, he tells students to "eith-
er ventilate it" or "cut it out." He
even fears for the lives of those
who smoke the drug, since he
knows "some people it has killed."
Recently, he said, some students
who had been smoking "pot" walk-
ed outside, took a gulp of air and
soon died.
While communicating with tl-
dents is seldom a problem for ei-
ther guard, Hans 'finds it easier
to give troublemakers the benefit
of the doubt.
"I give them every chance to
cooperate," he says. Instead of be-
coming physically involved in a
fight or quarrel, he stands "real
close" to the antagonists, forcing
the next punchthrower to think
twice about landing his fist.
JUSTICE IS more aggressive.
Because of his age many under-

estimate his ability, but he makes
sure it's not for long.
"Those who I"put out don't come
back," he says, and if someone
"gets physical, I do."
While he describes himself as
"very gentle," Justice makes it
known to potential troublemaxers
that he is "not non-violent.- Es-
pecially, he says, after hearing
such remarks as "Old man, I m
gonna beat your brains out."
Rarely is he subjected to such
criticism, though, for both he and
Hans Cozak are considered fair
and responsible by students and
administrators alike.
In a recent survey, residents of
South Quad indicated their satis-
faction with security in the dorm.
In emergency situations many resi-
dents would call security before
calling -the police.
Police procedures are "so harsh,"
oie resident advisor says, while
Hans is "easy to talk to" and
doesn't "push himself into situa-
- tions." In contrast to many police-
men, says the dorm's building di-
rector, Hans doesn't overreact.
While some students feel t h a t
Hans views himself as "God's gift
to the detectives of the world,"
most agree that "anything you ask
him to do, you know it's going to
be done."
Similarly, residents of Bursley
Hall consider Justice as an "inte-
gral part of the building."
"He is very involved with t h e
individuals here," says Bursley's
building director. "Students re-
spond favorably to him," and they
respect him.
ONE THREE-YEAR resident of
the North Campus dorm points out
that "security is better than it
has ever been. Justice is very con-
scientious and makes it known to
the students that someone is keep-
ing tabs on happenings a r o u n d
here." .
In contrast to Hans, though,
many students feel that Justice
"gets uptight about security." Af-
ter one resident played his trum-
pet on the roof at 1:30 a.m., Jus-
tice flashed his light through a
window and searched the dorm
fruitlessly for the culprit.
"He gets a little bit pushy about
his point, of view," one studeut
says, "but he gets the job done."
Many believe that a dormitory
can only be as secure as its resi-
dents make it. But the role of he
security guard cannot be overlook-
ed. While Charles Justice and Hans
Cozak are as different as their
names sound, they demonstrate a
mutual dedication toward their
jobs and a common concern for the
students they protect. Perhaps J'is-
tice would rather pitch a softball
and Hans would rather write a
book, but without their presence,
Bursley Hall and South Quad would
not be the same.

Selling roadmaps for the soul
WHEN BOB DYLAN came to Ann Arbor,
he came like a prophet. He stepped
off his private plane, staff in hand, to
sing to his followers of truth, of abso-
lute values.

But the truth, Mr. Dylan, is that the
public got raped in the deal. And the
frightening truth is that they loved it.
Had the prophet looked closely at the
admiring throng, he would have seen the
floor littered with people who had paid
$50 a seat for an $8.50 concert.
Had he been a prophet, he probably
would have thrown up.
Any one of those people sitting in their
$50 main floor seats could have stopped
the man who was selling their prophet on
the street of Detroit.
Any one of them could have called the
police, the prosecutor or even the pro-
phet and stopped one of the largest
scalping operations in Detroit music.
BUT NO ONE did. They had their tic-
kets from friends, and one dares not
risk friendship for honesty. They had
bought their tickets from clients, and in
such cases one neither violates the
client's trust nor checks the gift horse's
mouth.
Not one cried rape.
To the person, they paid money they
didn't have to, put on their $500 clothes,
and in the name of truth, god, love, and
beauty kept their mouths shut.
And so it came to pass; that while the
prophet sang his songs, the people robbed
each other for his truth.

Are we Nixon's silent majority?
By BETH NISSEN
IT'S BEEN A long time since studems
rallied round a flag of concern over
anything. Since Vietnam, mass interest in
any issue other than drop-add procedures
and course survival was in apparent hiber-
nation.
Even toward the end of United S t a t e s
Vietnam involvement, the students were
tired of the same televised war scenes, the
same atrocities and what the hell, Kissing-
er was going to make everything all right
anyway.
Demonstrations and actions for a cause
became memories on the pages of Life and
Time. The sometimes violent objections to
the issues of yesterday were not necessarily
good in and of themselves. But they did in-
dicate a deeper and more vital interest in
world affairs than has been evident in re-
cent student bodies. '
But with the advent of Watergate and the
drowning of half the original working ad-
ministration, a new issue has risen to the
surface. Impeaching the President is no
longer the yell of a few dirty jeaned radi-
cals or the topic of discussion between two
liberal Democrats. Life-long Republicans,
disappointed and shocked middle-aged citi-
zens and little grandmothers who voted for
Nixon twice, are opening up to the pos-
sibility of impeachment and beginning to
like the possibility more and more.
IT IS FAST becoming a major national
-and campus-issue.
The Ann Arbor Committee to Impeach
Nixon set up a table in the Fishbowl and
within six days had 1,400 people write post-
cards to Marvin Esch, a legislator w h o
claims he's undecided on the impeachment
issue. Contact in Briarwood shopping cen-
ter with non-University sections of the
community gave similarly encouraging re-
sults. Campus reaction indicates that cam-
pus concern is revivable, if a little rusty
from disuse.
The impeachment issue seems to have the
support of most University students.
"Only a few walk by and say they think
Nixon's a good man," said Dan Reuben,
one of the leaders of the Impeach Nixon
Committee.
"Many of 'them stop to sign the petition
or write a postcard to Esch, or they just
walk by."
"We're concentrating on the people who
are for impeachment," continued Ruben.
"We have to get them involved. And we
have to educate people as to what im-
peachment is. A lot of people still think
impeachment means removal from office."
"ONE OF THE best reasons for im-
peachment is that the American people
have the right to know whether or not
their President is a crook," said David
Sandweiss, a Committee member. "Under
the pressure of impeachment proceedings,
all the issues that need clarification would
surface."
In his State of the Union address last
week, President Nixon told the galleries,
packed with enthusiastic supporters, that
he intended to stay in office the remainder
of his elected term. He mentioned the peace
on campuses with the same note of pride
and intonation of "aren't we lucky, us
Americans?" as when he reminded us of
the world peace he had single-handedly
managed to bring us during his reign.
Nixon wants to save his political and
historical face. Although the campus atmos-
phere is closer to rigor mortis than peace,
by claiming it as peace, Nixon can be
counted into Nixon's supportive "silent ma-
jority".
To do nothing is to do something that can
potentially be to the benefit of Richard
Nixon.
IMPEACHMENT ITSELF isn't the cold-
blooded execution of a sentenced criminal.
Impeachment merely demands answers to
questions that well deserve explanations --
and good ones.
Students have the ability to be the leaders
in a search for the answers. It doesn't have
to be done by breaking plate glass or loos-
ening a few Republican teeth. It can start
with a letterato a Congressman or Repre-
sentative or a signature on a petition.
When impeachment becomes an issue
worth a minute of everyone's time and con-
cern, it will change in status from a sub-
ject of editorials to a natural demand that
must be granted.
"Impeachment itself isn't the cold -blooded exe-
cition of a sentenced criminal. Impeachment
merely demands answers to questions that wvell
deserve ex pl anatiotis-and good ones."

EVERYONE SAID to wait until
the evidence was in before you
got started. Now it is too late. Tens
of thousands of marijuana smok-

ping off into snowdrifts, their dis-
ease-riddled bodies no longer able
to resist infections. Hopefully, they
have spared themselves and society
the heartbreak of children born
with defects caused by genetic
damage.
The Columbia University re-

first direct evidence of cellular
damage" from pot smoking should
be congratulated for its h a r d
work and objective nature.

more incredible by the fact that

millions of dollars that it pours
into athletics to serve the major-
ity, rather than to the minority
who compete intercollegiately.
