The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, February 4, 1981-Page 3 RECOMMENDS 'U'DROP CHARGES AGAINST EDITORS Judge delays dismissal By DAVID SPAK Fifteenth District Court Judge George Alexander delayed yesterday a motion to dismiss trespassing charges against two former Daily editors. Alexander said he postponed his decision so attorneys representing for- mer Daily Editor-in-chief Mark Parrent, former Opinion Page Editor Joshua Peck, and attorneys for the University could discuss with the judge the possibility of dropping charges in the case. THE CASE STEMS from an Oct. 28 incident in which several Daily staff members attempted to gain access to a meeting of the Board in Control of In- tercollegiate Athletics. The conference between the three parties will probably be held today. The word's out on cempus ...

CALL 764-0558 to order your subscription to Alexander said he hopes the Univer- sity will drop the trespassing charges against the two former editors so the matter can be "properly raised as a civil issue." THE JUDGE ALSO said this par- ticular case should not be decided in criminal court because appeal options open to both parties are limited. Before ruling, Alexander called Jerold Lax, the attorney representing the Daily, and Kevin Kraushaar, the representative from the prosecuting at- torney's office, into his chamber for 20 minutes of consultation. He then an- nounced his decision to meet with University General Counsel Roderick Daane to suggest the University drop criminal charges. If the University does not agree to drop the trespassing charges, Alexan- der still has to rule on the defendants' motion to dismiss. THE CONFERENCE could produce several results, Lax said, including dismissal of the trespassing charges outright or the continuation of legal proceedings against Parrent and Peck. The controversy stems from differing interpretations of the State Open Meetings Act of 1976. Attorneys representing the Daily maintain the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics is a "public body" as described in the act. The prosecuting attorney, however, says the only University body covered in the act is the Board of Regents. PARRENT AND Peck were arrested because they tried to enter an athletic board meeting, which have been historically closed to the public and press. If the case is dismissed, current Daily senior editors will consider filing a civil suit to gain access to the meetings, ac- cording to Daily Editor-in-chief Sara Anspach. The University can also file a civil suit to determine if the athletic board falls in the category of "public body," under the State Open Meetings Act, Lax said. Daane was unable to comment on the matter because he did not learn of the judge's decision until late yesterday af- ternoon. If the University decides to continue the suit, Lax said, ypsterday's action would only result in delaying the day for oral arguments in the case. .
