Ypsi strikeout The Ypsilanti Little League has lost its charter and must rip the little league patches off it's uniforms. That's the word from the national little league office in Williamsport, Pa., revealed in a letter to Ypsi little league officials yesterday. The move is a result of Ypsilanti's defiance of the league's "no girls" rule in allowing 12-year-old Carolyn King to play. The national office could seize all uniforms and equipment and freeze the chapter's bank accounts as a result of the charter revocation. Ypsi little league officials say they will not back down on letting King play and plan to fight the national office in court.

Highs will be between 5-63 with lows tonight of 44-49, By MARILYN RILEY Controversial school board trustee Cecil Warner has proposed 0 alan under which students deeined to be "disruptive" would be segregated in an "alternative" school. Referred to as the "reform school" by the plan's opponents, Warner claims the alternative school would allow teachers who now "spend all their time working with disruptive kids" to pay more atten- tion to the other students. THE SCHOOL BOARD Wednesday soted to refer the proposal to the Superintendent for a determination of staffing and pro- gram needs of the proposed facility. De- tails on the criteria for assigning "dis- ruptive" students to the school must also be worked out. The detailed plais is to be submitted by Jtly 1. If passed, the school wi llopen in September. What prompted the proposal? According to Warner, his years of observation in the schools has convinced hiri that there "needs to be a place for kids who just can't operate in a normal school environ- ment." BUT ACCORDING to Bill Stewart, pub- liv information officer for Ann Arbor schools, the school board has experienced a "great deal of cmommmnmity pressure" to remove the disruptive kids for the benefit of the rest of the students. This pressure has come as a result of the continuing increase of crime in the schools, culminating in last week's stab- bing of a Tappan Junior iligh student. According' " Warier, oie gia of the alternative school will be to 'socialize' those whso dont show respect for other people and their property. Althoigh he agrees that definitions of proper socalizatioIare culturally deter- mined, Warner says that if another per- son's culture is against ''thise standards that our society has come to respect, then there's got to be a change in that culture." WARNER EMPIINSIZES the socializa- tion goal is "not a racial thing." There are lots of wahite kids in school that have sot been socialized," he explains. As Varner sees it, use of a weapon or assaulting a teacher could be grounds for immediate assignment to the school. More ganeral disturbances in class and hallways would have to be considered in light of the student's past history. The other major goal of the school would be to develop the skills of the individual students. According to Warner, those who are not reading up to their grade level will be given extra remedlat help, if it seems they will benefit by it. See ALTERNATE, Page 5 It went BOOM One of three nuclear explosive devices which were set off yesterday in Colorado rests on the, ground before being lowered into the earth. Each of the 30-foot-long units carried an explosive charge of 30 kilotons; all three set off simultaneously equalled 90 tons of TNT. The explosion took place a mile beneath the earth's surface in an effort to free natural gas deposits. REGENTS HEAR CRITICISM: Minority groups protest finding By DAVID BURHENN Representatives of three major minority groups on campus yesterday roundly and bitterly attacked the findings of a recently released minority student survey. The s t u d y revealed that a 1970 University pledge to achieve 10 per cent black enroll- ment by this fall would not be met. The criticism came during a packed Regents public comments session, held after four deans had given presentations before the Board to explain why their schools had a low percentage of minority enrollment. THE SPEAKERS at the comments ses- sion, representing black, Chicano, and Native American groups, labeled the sur- very "vague," "opinionated," and "un- documented," and attacked both the amount of time spent and the method employed in its presentation. Richard Gaand, the University's black advocate had harsh words for the survey and for the failure of the University to meet the 10 per cent enrollment goal set as a result of the Black Action Movement strike of 1970. "The spirit and concerns," Garland said, "of the Black Action Movement are not dead-but very much alive. "WE WANT TO make it emphatically clear that the responsibility for not reach- ing the 10 per cent black enrollment rests on the shoulders of the University Execu- tive Officers and the Regents. We want to further state that we will not sit idly by and let this situation - . . go un- attended." Garland asked that the Regents set aside "ample time" during their June meeting to receive a position paper which, according to the advocate, "will clearly outline our concerns," Speaking for the Native American Stu- dent Association, Anthony Genia called the minority survey "completely errone- ous with respect to its report on American Indian enrollment." GENIA CALLED for more recruiting of Native American faculty and staff, and attacked administrators of minority pro- grams for what he considered a degree of insensitivity to American Indian students' needs. From Rodolfo Arevalo, a representative of the campus Chicano group MECHA, came a request for more investigation into the status of minority students. AREVALO ATTACKED the survey for not distinguishing between n a t i v e and foreign-lorn students with Spanish sur- names. He also criticized its report on student attrition, saying that "data on this should have been kept up to date." Arevalo called for the development of a Chioano Cultural Center and other sup- portive services to help cut down on the number of Chicanos leaving the academic ranks. Also at the comments session, Richard Ross and Patrick Bynoe of the Center for Afro - American and A f r i c a n Studies (CAAAS), asked the Regents to authorize an evaluation of the center before they appointed a new director for CAAAS.
