Judge strikes down creation-science law CLASSES MOVED FROM 102 ECON. BLDG. The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, January 6, 1982-Page 3 Econ. profs lose much more than a building LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPI) - A federal judge yesterday struck down Arkansas' creation-science law, saying it was a blafant attempt to force religious teaching in the public schools. "No group, no matter how large or small, may use the organs of gover- nment, of which the public schools are the most conspicuous and influential, to force its religious beliefs on others," District Judge William Overton said. THE LAW, challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union, would have required "balanced treatment" for creation-science whenever evolution was taught in public schools. the statute, the first of its kind, was passed . by the 1981 Arkansas Legislature. "The evidence is overwhelming that both the purpose and effect of Act 590 is the advancement of religion in the public schools," Overton said. Overton, a Methodist and the son of a ;biology teacher, picked apart the law's :definition of creation-science point by point and concluded creation-science is- "simply not science." Instead, the definition , "has as its unmentioned reference the first 11 chapters of the Book of Genesis." ATTORNEY GENERAL Steve Clark, who defended the law, said an appeal was "very probable." But ACLU attorney Jack Novik said Overton's ruling had dealt a "fatal blow to creation-science." Overton said creation-science is unified by the idea that the earth was supernaturally created by God. Without that concept, "the remaining parts . . . explain nothing and are meaningless assertions." Those assertions include a belief that the earth is 6,000 to 20,000 years old, the occurence of a worldwide flood, the in- sufficiency of mutation and natural selection to bring about complex life forms and a separate ancestry for man and apes. A similar Louisiana law has been challenged by the ACLU.

"The power to deal with and to make sense of that world, to understand r change, to perceive connections, to master the new and to rethink the old, may be the most important Y preparations we can even hope for."

"Out of about 650 books, about half a dozen were saved," Economics Prof. Saul Hymans said of his collection. He said he will try to replace only about 200 of the volumes because the rest only had "a nostalgic" value. "A lot of what you accumulate in a library has much more sentimental value than (useful) value," he said. "IN A SENSE, I was more fortunate than some of my colleagues in that much of what I do is on the computer," Hymans added. Many professors, especially those in- volved mostly with research, credited the computer with saving much of their work. Economics Prof. Joan Crary, who works with Hymans and others on the Michigan Econometric Model, joked that she was lucky the Economics Building burned down and not the com- puting center. CRARY SAID that although most of her books were burned, the most impor- tant files were either recoverable or on computer tape. "I'll still be discovering for marty weeks how much I miss what's not there," she said, but added that her economic forecasting efforts will not be hampered greatly because the model and the data are on the computer. The fire destroyed a collection of an- nual reports on European companies that Economics Prof. William Adams used for much of his research. He said. his unpublished research and the only copy of a manuscript he was working on were destroyed. ALSO LOST in the flames were mid- term exam grades from Adams': class last term, which meant Adams could not complete last semester's grades. He said he is making arrangements. with his former class members to determine a'grade: Most professors had already turned in their final grades, but most final exams themselves' were consumed ° by the fire. Brazer said he already had one student see him who did not understand' how her grade was reached; but he said there was nothing he could do. "I guess this time the professor is' always right," Economics Prof.' Warren Whatley said. To aid professors in their future work, the department will pool remaining resources, according to the professors. The Sharfman Library, which was housed in the basement of the old building, consisted yesterday of a few file drawers, a box of reference materials, and some scattered folders. More material may yet be restored, but the department will make a. major ef- fort to re-establish the libraty. , Two professors reflected yesterday that a stroke of luck saved them. Fusfeld said he had completed a 40- page article on the morning of the fire and was going to leave it on his secretary's desk, but decided later he would wait until Saturday. Economics Prof. Kenneth Boyer said he was due to move into an office in the Economics Building before Christmas, but was - delayed. Boyer, who said he can now make his journals available to his colleagues, described himself as being one of the lucky ones. 4 103 006 T 12-1 3520 FB Geography 101 i 1 M 013 F 11-12 3040 FB 6 MH - Mason Hall FB - Frieze Building 'U' employees fined for raccoon killings :.. : r r By BETH ALLEN District judges have fined twof University groundskeepers who killed two raccoons with pitchforks and sledgehammers on North Campus lastj October.w One of the groundskeepers has been fired by the University and the other has been disciplined, said University Grounds Manager Douglas Fasing. Fasing would not elaborate on the firing or the extent of the disciplinary action. GROUNDSKEEPER Eddie Bailey was fined $25 by 15th District Court Judge Pieter Thomassen yesterday, and groundskeeper William Henderson received a $50 fine from 15th District Court Judge Sandor Elden on Dec. 30. Fasing refused to say which groun- dskeeper had been fired. The two University employees were charged with cruelty to animals after residents of Northwood apartments on North Campus complained about the deaths of the raccoons. The raccoons were stabbed to death while trapped by the groundskeepers in a garbage dum- pster. HURON VALLEY Humane Society Animal Welfare Officer Delores Gib- son said yesterday that the Humane Society "would have liked to see a higher fine," but she added that the judges may have considered the University's ac- tions against the employees when making their decisions. "We're not totally displeased," Gib- son said. CASH $ Pi-vii " UP" E -- .00.016- HOUSING DIVISION RESIDENT STAFF JOB OPENINGS FOR 1982-83 Have You Considered the U-M Housing Option?
