Docking of,
faculty payj
proposed

<?ii..

By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ
The Regents are expected to
consider at their meeting this
week a proposed University regu-
lation which would bar faculty
and staff members who partici-
pate in class strikes from receiv-
ing pay for the work they miss.
The proposal was drafted by a
committee of deans and faculty
members appointed last month
by President Robben Fleming. In
a resolution adopted near the end
of the class strike supporting the
demands of the Black Action
Movement ( BAM), the Regents
asked that a policy for dealing
with faculty and staff partici-
pation. in future strikes be sub-
mitted at this month's meeting.
The Regents are thought to be
upset that many faculty members
and 'teaching fellows canceled
classes in support of BAM.
The committee's draft, which
was made public yesterday, pro-
poses that "a staff member who
engages in withholding of services
(not be) entitled to receive
compensation for the services
withheld."
"Withholding of services" would
include a faculty or staff mem-
ber's "voluntary refusal to cross
a picket line whether or notsthe
picketing is conducted by em-
ployes of the University."
According to law school Dean
Francis Allen, chairman of the
committee which drafted the pro-
posal, the draft may be revised
before it is presented to the Re-
gents.
In its current form, the pro-
posed regulation has draw criti-

The city's main ambulance serv-
ice company was refusing to an-I
swer calls because of sniper fire.
News vehicles and police cars also
were being fired upon.
Shortly before midnight the
first contingent of state troopers,
ordered into the city by Gov. Les-
ter Maddox, began arriving Mayor
Millard Beckum ordered a city-
wide curfew in effect from mid-
night until 8 a.m.
Maddox has ordered 200 Na-
tional Guardsmen and 140 state
troopers into Augusta to help po-
lice contain the violence away
from the main business section.
A spokesman at Talmadge Me-
morial Hospital said 20 persons
had been treated in the hospital's
emergency room, and 11 of those
were admitted.
Two of the dead were at the
hospital. Two of the four dead
were identified as William Wright
and Sammy McCullough.
Meanwhile, at the University of
South Carolina last night, Nation-
al Guardsmen and state highway
patrolmen clashed with students,
firing tear gas and scattering
demonstrators onto downtown
streets.
Gov. Robert McNair declared
a state of emergency on the cam-
pus and ordered an 11 p.m. cur-
few. Students were warned not to
gather in groups of more than six.
Tear gas was used yesterday by
Carbondale, Ill., police enforcing
an unlawful assembly ordinance
to break up crowds of students
on the Southern Illinois University
campus.
However, a small group walked
to a downtown drug store, wheref
tear gas was again used by police
to disperse them.
At the University of South Caro-
lina, at least 100 state highway
patrolmen brandishing nightsticks

A 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. curfew
was imposed in the Eastern
Michigan University area last
night after 'an evening of
clashes between police and
students protesting U.S. for-
eign policy and the recent sus-
pension of six EMU students.
The EMU campus was sealed off
late last night after students be-
gun blocking traffic around the
campus.
Ypsilanti police said they arrest-
ed 39 persons at about 6:30 p.m. as
they attempted to disperse a crowd
of 175 who had taken their pro-
test into the street.
News of arrests brought over
1.500 people into the streets by 9
p.m. Barricades were set up in the
streets and at least two small fires
were set.
Ypsilanti police, who had with-
drawn from the area after making
ithe initial arrests, returned around
midnight with Washtenaw County
sheriff's deputies to break up the
crowd.
No statistics were available on
injuries and further arrests late
last night as police used tear gas
and riot sticks to dsperse the
protesters.
The crowd had been broken up
into small groups by about 1 a.m.
Most of the 39 persons arrested
earlier were charged with creat-
ing a disturbance. a misdemeanor.
Bail was set at $100.
Demonstrations at EMU yester-
day began around noon as about
100 students gathered at an on-
campus street where they began
blocking traffic.
Police were called to the area to
redirect traffic. At 630, when the
protesters had failed to disperse,
policeamoved in and made the in-
itial arrests.
Protesters said Jan Kaulins,
former Chief Justice of the EMU
Student Judiciary and one of the
leaders of the strike, was clubbed
and dragged by his hair by the
Ypsilanti police.
During the afternoon, Kaulins
was among students who circu-
lated a petition to readmit the six
suspended students.
The six students suspended last
week were disciplined as a result
of their participation in a march
through a university building. The
march was part of an attempt to
get EMU to close in the nation-
wide student strike that followed
the slaying of four Kent State
students by Ohio National Guard.
During the week, the EMU re-
gents obtained restraining orders
against student demonstrations,
Fires had been set in two campus
buildings during demonstrations.
The EMU campus was closed
Thursday and Friday. Administra-
tors said the closure was set be-
cause of "the seriousness of the
current national and international
situation."
Classes resumed yesterday.
In Ann Arbor last night, stu-
dents set up a bail center in the
SAB for the arrested EMU stu-
I dents.

senior high school students walked
out of classes yesterday and con-
gregated on the Diag for a mass
I march through the downtown
area to protest U.S. intervention
in Cambodia and the Kent State
killings.
The students later marched
through the community passing
out leaflets announcing a 7 p.m.
rally tonight at City Hall.
Yesterday's march marked one
of the first times that Ann Arbor
high school students have organ-
ized a political protest.

Superintendent of Schools Scott
Westerman had urged the students
to express their concerns within
the "context of the school pro-
gramn, rather than on the Diag-

Several of the schools had plan-
ned memorial services which the,
striking students-who walked out
around 9 a.m.-missed.
"We wanted to show support for
the nationwide strike for Nixon
to get out of Cambodia and Viet-
nam." Pioneer high student Eric

added that the school principal
had indicated that students who
left classes without parental per-
mission might face suspension.
After the march through the
town, the crowd of students as-
sembled on the Diag again to hear
the speakers.
Calling for more than outside,
structural integration, Huron High
student Ferri Cambell asked the
protesters to "integrate in our
minds, we have to come together
in our minds."
Dan Ezekiel, a student from
Tappen condemned the Kent State
killings as "capitol punishment
without a trial." He called for the
crowd to resist the draft and "the
schools' attempts to deny us our
constitutional rights", to boycott
big industrialist firms which
"prey upon the people-like coca
cola", and to "bring democracy
back out in to the streets.
"Thomas Jefferson said that if
a government became despotic,
and if it was not by, for and of
the people, the people have the
right-they have the duty-to tear
that government down," Ezekial
added. "That's why we're out here
in the streets."
After the rally, groups of stu-
dents split up into discussion
groups while some went back to
classes. Then students leafletted
the community.
The peace rally scheduled for
tonight was planned to "allow peo-
ple a chance to express their op-
position to the war, its escalation,
and its consequences for Amer-
icans at home-repression," an
organizer of the rally said. "We

Last Friday over 200 protesters "liber-

pposition to what they termed "U.S. im-

While reasons for the abrupt exit varied

The takeover lacked a general sense of

"President Robben Fleming supports
