s fitL Sr1$,an Daily Eighty-three years of editorial freedom Edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan I I 420 Maynard St., Ann Arbor, Mi. 48104 News Phone: 764-0552 1 0 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1974 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.

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.

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.

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- PARAGRAPHICS Doily Photo by DAVID MARGOLICK 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.

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. TODAY'S STAFF: News: Stephen Selbst, Jeff Sorensen, Sue Stephenson, Rebecca Warner Editorial Page: Claude Fontheim, Ted* Hartzell, Marnie Heyn, Cindy Hill, Joan Weiss Arts Page: Ken Fink Photo Technician: David Margolick 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." rr~r rrn~ w ir~r Letters: Why do they call it d - Ito ee'A To The Daily: EVERYONE SAID to wait until the evidence was in before you got started. Now it is too late. Tens of thousands of marijuana smok- ers in Ann Arbor will soon be drop- 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- search team that discovered "the first direct evidence of cellular damage" from pot smoking should be congratulated for its h a r d work and objective nature. Dr. Nakas, leader of the team, others to wallow in its political im- plications. Even though they call- ed for a "thorough re-appraisal" of the findings of the National Commission on Marijuana, s u c h personal opinions probably never entered the laboratory. It's time for enlightened college students and street people to put down their roach clips and listen to their parents.

This witty sign is familiar to many who use Waterman Gymnasium, and it has been appearing more often lately; twice in the last week at least. I can empathize with the women who don't have hot water in the showers in Barbour Gym and I con- sider both of these situations in- excusable, especially at a univer- sity of the class that Michigan thinks it is. The towel situation is made even more incredible by the fact that one pays for the privilege of using the locker facilities and getting clean towels. At Cornell University all students, staff, and faculty can get free locker nrivileges as well ope? filthy locker room with no uniform provided, and where they o n 1y grudgingly change your towel (that is, If they have any at all) more than once a day, is pathetic. I think it is high time that the Uni- versity allocate a fair share of the millions of dollars that it pours into athletics to serve the major- ity, rather than to the minority who compete intercollegiately. -Jeff Daniels Grad.
