In an article about the LSA Student Government in yesterday's
paper, we erroneously stated that Joel Kline benefitted from an exten-
sion of the filing deadline in the last LSA-SG election. Actually, Kline
filed before the original deadline.

At noon yesterday 30 vocal demon-
strators braved the wind and rain on
the Diag to protest the California
Supreme Court's decision in the Bakke
case, to urge the U.S. Supreme Court to
overturn the decision and to uphold the
constitutionality of controversial af-
firmative action programs. The rally
attracted about 25 spectators.
When the demonstrators tired of the
rain, they entered the Fishbowl chan-
ting, "Bakke no, affirmative action
yes.
The rally was a foreshadowing of a
larger demonstration set for Ann Arbor

tomorrow. That demonstration is the
local part of a national day of demon-
stration seeking to overturn the Bakke
decision.

Kin g School parents charg
remedial program inadequ~

ate

By ELEONARA DI LISCIA
Parents of students at King Elemen-
tary School have said they find unac-
ceptable a special program devised by
the Ann Arbor School Board to improve
the educational skills of those students
labeled as "underachievers".
A district. judge requested that a
program established after parents of 15
students from Martin Luther King
Elementary School filed a suit against
the schol district. The suit charged that
cultural biases in both intelligence tests
and instruction practices have caused
their children to be labeled "un-
derachievers". The judge said that the
program would be an effective alter-
native to a civil court trial.
THE PARENTS charged that many
minority students with learning
deficiencies are being allowed to just
pass through school. They blamed the
school system for these deficiencies.'
After evaluating the school's propos-
al, the parents charged the school
board showed "A lack of good faith
toward solving the problems." They
added that the suggestions did not af-
"reflect any enthusiasm or excitement
to search for new and viable
programs."
The school board chose to design a
program for improving the educational
skills of three randomly selected
students. The sample contained a kin-
dergarten, a second and sixth grader.
KING ELEMENTARY School Prin-
cipal Rachel Schreiber said that the
programs were "worked out with the
teachers and consulting staff. She said
they "tried to make the programs fit

the childrens needs."
The school's plan for the sixth
graders included these provisions:
" special attention should be given to
grammar, math and comprehension
skills
" the child should be encouraged to
read books and attend school as much
as possible
" information should be sought con-
cerning his or her psychological
motivation by testing his or her
physical tiredness by his physician.
the child should attend summer
school
Theprogram for the second graders:
* advised that the child be returned
to first grade
continue in a speech program
" participate in a Big Brother
program and be encouraged to play
learning games
be retested by the school
psychologist for further insight ,
The kindergartener's program
placed more emphasis on special atten-
tion and to the child's learning skills. It
specified the following:
*the child should continue speech
therapy and afternoon schooling
" the child should work towards
respect for the rights of others and for
school room rules.
the child should be retested
The program, in addition to the point
by point suggestions, provided a lot of
information regarding the school
board's analysis of the children's
educational performance and
problems.
RUTH ZWEIFLER, spokesperson for

the parents, said that the Board merely
restated "the academic material
related to the plaintiff children,
stressing their negative aspects without
considering their strengths."
Parents also said that they thought
the programs implied, according to
Zweifler, that "the sole fault for the
failure to educate the particular
children lies with them and their paren-
ts alone, without taking into account the
ecosystem of the school and it's relation
to the children".
Dr. Hazel Turner, one of the school
systemrdefendents, maintainedsthat
"we are doing what the judge asked
us." Turner contended that the prin-
cipla and the teachers took the court
order very seriously.
Zweifler indicated that the next move
is in the hands of the school board,
which has presented to dismiss the suit.
