Sharf turday said he did not see the 1973 report until last January, one month after Medical School ITO Dean John Gronvall and the Ex- ecutive Committee voted to 3-0770 dump SHS in 1978. tt -In a prepared statement to the Daily, Gronvall said such reviews, like the 1973 report, are conducted confidentially under the auspices" of the Med- ical School's Executive Commit- i j ~ tee. The 1973 report findings were shared with the SHS fac- j }cts ulty in 1974, he added. 1 l J fSHS faculty have formulated a list of three possible alterna- Daily Classi Get Resu tives that relocate the program outside the Medical School. They' are: -creation of an independent center under the Academic Af- fairs office, similar to programs like the Center for Human Growth and Development. -transferal of the program to the School of Education. -either relocating under the Institute for Mental Retardation and Related Dissabilities or un- der the Center for Human Growth and Development. Before 1969, SHS was located in the Literary College (LSA). The LSA Executive Committee rejected a proposal to reabsorb the program last Jan. 20. SHS 1 o s t its accreditation, which was provisionally restored after two appeals, when the American Board of Examiners in Speech Pathology and Audio- logy examined the program last spring, Gronvall said. The accreditors were concern- ed with what they considered an unstable administrative struc- ture within SHS, according tot Sharf. The program stemmed from the Medical School's fail- ure to name a permanent direc- tor and clinical director, he added. Sharf has been acting director for three years. SSHS was "not a program es- sencial to the central mission of the Medical School," Gronvall stated. "The program's qualityI and the lack of sufficient re- sources needed to improve it were ited as reasons for recom- mending its closure." By LINDA BRENNERS You may not be seeing a repeat of the 1960s - with its building takeovers, flag burn- ings, and other demonstrations- but students are once again get- ting involved in University af- fairs, according to Larry Pul- kownik of the Personnel Inter- viewing Committee (PIC). Pulkownik points out that 100 student applicants are fighting to be placed in only 40 openings on University advisory boards. THE PIC, a committee of the Michigan S t u d e n t Assemblyh (MSA), has the task of deciding( who gets on what body. "Less than a year ago, we' couldn't fill all the slots on the committees. Now we can be se- lective and get the best possible+ people to get involved, instead of just settling for warm bod- ies," Pulkownik said. Phil Liner, a gradaute student' in business administration and a voting member on the Univer- sity Budget Priorities Commit- tee, said that students, faculty and administrators work togeth- er to seek solutions to budgetary problems. "On this committee, students! don't play an advocacy role- it's not 'us versus them.' We all are integral members of a group." AL PETRO, a student member of the Energy Conservation Task I Force, said that his objective is to effect small, but meaningful,' changes, r..t "change the world overnight." Petro said that the task force originated as an advisory coun- cil that developed to implement the recommendations proposed by students and faculty alike. "There is input from all levels and the opinions of the students coincide with what action has been taken by the administra- tion," Petro said. IN ADDITION to "providing insight that only we, as students, can provide," Petro said that serving on University commit- tees gives students insight into the administrative operations of the University. It is this give and take process that is attracting more students to these groups. "Students are tired of bureau- cratic red tape and want to make the system more respon- Nursooes sive to t h e i r needs," said bilily and visibility of student Blanche Trerice, head of PIC government." and a member of MSA.

Michigan Union-Assembly Hall 4 Sponsored by Office of Ethics ond Reliicon)cc (Continued from Page 1) O'BRIEN TOLD the 12 jury members and four alternates that they will present evidence that a VA nurse, Bonnie Bates, and an unidentiifed man dressed as a doctor and wearing a green scrub suit may have been pres-1 ent during many of the myster- ious breathing faliures.i According to O'Brien, who gave detailed accounts concern- ing these persons, Bates was granted immunity from prose- cution and now will appear as1 the government's "star wit- ness." O'Brien also said they will delve into the story of Betty Jakim, a nursing supervisor at the hospital who allegedly con- fessed the crimes to her psy- chiatrist at the University's Neuro-Psychiatric Institute be- fore she committed suicide. I O'BRIEN QUOTED Jakin as having said, "You'll be sur- prised in the very end to find out who did it . .. I believe in the innocence of these two Filipino nurses . . . I'm horribly fearful of the FBI and guilty." Perez, 32, and Narcisco, 30, are charged with using Pavulon, a paralyzing drug to murder two patients and poison seven others at the VA hospital during July and August 1975. They are also charged with one count of conspiracy to poison patients. O'Brien and Detroit attorney Ed Stein, who also presented' opening statements, emphasized they would produce evidence THEY ALSO charged that the hospital's poor security meas- ures and record-keeping make3 it almost impossible to deter- mine the movements of people through the hospital during sum- mer 1975. They added that the summer is a particularly hectic- time due to staff changeovers. Although the VA hospital is typical of many government run institutions, characterized by! much paperwork and an over- worked staff, O'Brien said, "the truth is that their record-keep- ing is atrocious. When there is a respiratory arrest, they don't even know who attends to the patient." The situation during 1975 was compounded by the absence of the hospital's chief of staff, whoI "THE NATURE of Pavulon is not understood yet. It's a new drug," he added. The two defense attorneys also charged that the FBI tried to pressure hospital workers, in particular, Narciso and Perez, into confessing to the poisonings. In addition, Stein said the FBI "firmed up their case" by hyp- notizing witnesses. Threats reported that VA hospital administrators "The FBI claims to have done did not act effectively during the what no hospital in the world emergency situations a r i s i n g had done - did they find Pavu- from the series of unexplained lon or do they think they did respiratory arrests. because that's what the FBI wanted to find?"

They appointed someone else (to replace the chief of staff) but it was on top of his other duties - which meant no one was running the show," Stein said. THE DEFENSE attorneys also charged that the FBI, which rarely works either on murder cases or in a medical setting, conducted a poor inves- tigation.

She added that she thought the calls were probably made by someone who is "fan- atically dedicated to his candi- date, but doesn't know how to wage a campaign on ideological grounds.
