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proposals by the Sen- ate Assembly and the Student Government Council to end all research, "the results of which would not be published after one year."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.

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 Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) directed the flow in a highly disciplined fashion. 1 f111141Oc ratd/its "Surround the crowd, link arms, and don't let anyone in or out," one marshal barked to his comrades.
