STATE FUNDS GRANTED:
Loan guarantee begi
'U'- WiIlow Run brea
By RALPH VARTABEDIAN
A $2 million loan guarantee
from the state has become the
first step toward the University's
avowed goal of disengaging it-
self officially from large scale
classified research.
Under a plan adopted in prin-
ciple by the Regents in Feb-
ruary, the University is attempt-
ing to divest itself of its Willow
Run Laboratories, which per-
form about 90 per cent of the
classified research done on the
campus.
The loan guarantee. approved
by the State Legislature as part
of the Higher Education Bill,
will provide Willow Run with
funds to weather a transitional
period during whirh it will leave
the auspices of the University to
become a non-profit corporation.
Specifically, the loan will
allow the labs to meet their
financial commitments during
the first year. This is essential
because all government classi-
fied research work is done on a
reimbursement basis-with pay-
ment often coming following the
completion of the project.
Previously, the University had
paid the Willow Run bills until
the federal funds arrived.
The plan under which the
University will dispose of its
controversial role in secret war
research dates back to last
February. Regentsrejected at
that time proposals by the Sen-
ate Assembly and the Student
Government Council to end all
research, "the results of which
would not be published after one
year."
The Regents in a 7-1 vote
called for the separation of
Willow Run Laboratories as an
alternative to an out-right ban
on such research.
Several issues involved in what
is officially termed "the orderly
total separation" cloud the ul-
timate relationship between the
University and the Laboratories.
Specifically, five professors
currently working at Willow
Run might want to transfer
their projects to the Engineering
College labs in order to retain
their University teaching ap-
pointments,
Vice President for Research
A. Geoffrey Norman emphati-
cally -claims such project trans-
fers "will not be allowed if they
involve a classified project."
Norman is adamant in dis-
avowing any suggestion that the
separation is a symbolic gesture.
"If this is to be a separation
then it will have to be a real
separation. Our relation to Wil-
low Run will be no different than
our relation with Bendix. Parke
Davis or other local research
corporations," he says.
According to Norman, Uni-
versity professors will not be
allowed to hold major respon-
sibilities at Willow Run and still
retais their tenure.
The disengagement of Willow
Run Laboratories will not elim-
inate all classified research at
the University. Both the Cooley
and Radiation Laboratories con-
duct secret research under con-
tract by the Defense Depart-
ment.

ation Laboratory is being done

Non-delegates split
over protest tactics

Special To The Iaily
MIAMI BEACH -- Monday
night, as candles flickered its
Flamingo Park, the "non-dele-
gates" sat in small groups dis-
cussing their need for unity.
But as the day ended the en-
campment inhabitants were
more divided than ever.
In all, sixteen separate events
planned by the park's inhabi-
tants took place yesterday.
Each segment of the park com-
munity went off on separate
paths, and the only attempt at
unity - a march down to the
convention hall-flopped,
The march began with an
SDS rally early in the evening
at Flamingo Park. And as the
crowd began to move out into
the streets, marshals from the

War (VVAW) directed the flow
