COURT DECISION: Page Three Frye asks grade grievance reform Ex-TF By JODI DIMICKr Irvene Brawer, a former Uni-t versity teaching fellow, last< Friday was granted unemploy-< ment benefits for the summer of 1973 by Circuit Court Judge Edward Deake. However, Deake's decisionj was not the landmark rulingc that many TA's had hoped for.1 The court decided Brawer's1 case was specific, clear-cut and did not need a broader ruling.j DEAKE stated that in Braw- ers' case, "a clear and decisive line did not have to be drawn," thus still leaving the Univer- sity administration as the only, group who can legitimately de- fine who is employed.t Although Brawer was enroll-1 ed and working for the Univer- wins benefits sity, she was determined by the court as employed because did not fit into the second re- quirement of the employment statute since she was not "reg- ularly attending classes." Brawer said that she had en-I rolled in a six credit indepen- dent work program merely so that she could teach at the University and in fact had not! started any kind of project for the program. ROGER CHARD, an attorney for Washtenaw County Legal Aid said that when the Univer-I sity administration determined; that Brawer was not employed according to the statute, "the University was taking advan- tage of a good thing." The statute, which the Uni- versity argued was "clear and unambiguous," was declared by' the court to be "unconstitution- ally vague." The court determined that "it's meaning and applicationj could not possibly be under-' stood by the person of common intelligence, for said meaning and application would be in constant flux both within any one university and among uni- versities. And, of course, the application would have no checks against discriminatingj use." Chard explained that because Brawer was so obviously elig- ible for unemployment benefits the statute would continue to be vague, and declared, "The University will have to be more careful in their decisions.'' By MAUREEN NOLAN Literary college (LSA) stu- dents with a valid complaint about a grade can expect to receive fairer treatment if' grievance revisions discussed Monday's LSA faculty meeting are adopted. Although no resolutions were passed at the sparsely attend- ed meeting, Acting Dean Billy Frye said that present grade appeal procedures need re- vamping. UNDER THE present system, the instructor has the final word in changing a grade. The in- formal debate focused on a sug- gested revision which wouldI make departmental committees the final authority. Frye stressed that "students; have the right to be protected from capricious grading." But he emphasized that any new provision "does not sud- denly erode the authority of the faculty in grading.' ACCORDING to Associate Dean Charles Morris, capric- ious grading is "at minimum, grading unrelated to a stu- dent's work.'' Some faculty expressed fears that students may put pressure on them to change grades for invalid reasons. Of the 21 grade grievance cases last fall, 15 were decided in favor of the students. In two instances, the instructors would not consent to a grade change, Early American cuisine: A lot to stomach in one meal By The Associated Press Some 200 years ago, a gen- tleman was known not only by the cut of his clothes but also by the size of his paunch.

Be- cause of the toughness of both wild and domestic meat, re- cipes often required the cook to pound a cut of meat with an ax handle or other implement to soften its fibers. Benjamin Franklin once turn- ed his attention to the problem. In a letter to two French scien- tists in 1773, he described a procedure for instantly produc- ing tender meat by slaughter- ing animals with a jolt of elec- tricity. He admitted that the procedure needed further test- ing. Originating from a business established in 1794, the Birming- ham Mint has the longest his- tory of any indenehdent mint inI the world.
