In College Park, they like the code By SUE BARTO Picture a campus, a public college like The niversity of Michigan and about the same size, where students not only helped adopt and administer a student code of non-academic conduct, but they overwhelmingly continue to support it four years after it was implemented. You have pictured The University of Maryland. ALTHOUGH THE number of students ex- pelled and suspended has mushroomed since the university adopted a code in 1980 covering ,both academic and non-academic behavior, Maryland students say they do not find the system unjust or oppressive. Rather, they boast of "a higher standard of behavior" set by the code and a judicial system which they say is fair and efficient. After adopting its code in 1980 to address many problems with cheating and general unruliness among some students, The Univesity of Maryland found itself at the forefront of a resurgence of student discipline among many colleges. THE PRIMARY author and architect of Maryland's code, Gary Pavela, a legal advisor to the Chancellor for Student Services, has written several articles about the school's code for such publications as The Chronicle of Higher Education. The school's code and judicial system has also been used as a model by many other universities, including The University of Michigan. "It's a good system," said Maryland fresh- man Sanford Horn, who like many of the students interviewed said the system provided adequate protection of student's rights and even credited the code with instilling a certain pride among the student body. "I honestly believe the university has every right to step in and act firmly. . . if a student violates a rule on campus," said Horn, a student government official. MANY MARYLAND students expressed surprise at Michigan students' opposition to adopting a code of conduct. "It was generally well received (at Maryland)" said Michael Bishop, who spent two-and-one-half years on Maryland's student judiciary when he was an undergraduate. He is currently a graduate philosophy student at Michigan. "Gary (Pavela) was very open about what went into it," he said. "He was very non- combative. He asked for input from students, faculty, and administrators." BISHOP SAID the code "heightened awareness" among students about what types of behavior were considered acceptable and even fueled a rivalry with the University of Virginia over school spirit and pride. In the years since the code was adopted, the number of students receiving suspensions and expulsions has risen dramatically. In the year before it was adopted, only two students were suspended or expelled for any of- fenses, academic or otherwise. SINCE THAT year, however, the number has grown until last year 54 suspensions or ex- pulsions were handed out.

XCV, No. 40 Copyright 1984, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Sunday, October 21, 1984 Fifteen Cents Eight Pages rr"'a Blue Iowa By MIKE MCGRAW Special to the Daily IOWA CITY-There's no avoiding the issue any longer. That dreaded off-year that Michigan has been dodging for so many seasons has arrived. Yesterday's 26-0 loss to Iowa was Bo Schem- bechler's worstdefeat at Michigan and the first time the Wolverines have been shut out since Minnesota did it to them in 1977. NOW MICHIGAN'S record stands at 4-3. It's the first time a Schembechler-coached unit has gone down to defeat for the third time before the final game of the regular season. The Wolverine defense kept the Hawkeyes un- der control for much of yesterday's contest, but once again the offense couldn't move the ball and made some major mistakes that led to the blow out. "Our defense would have hung in there if they had an offense to work with," said Schem- bechler. "But they didn't have that or even a kicking game today." THE TURNING point of the game came late in the third quarter with Iowa ahead 12-0. After battere 2 romp, Hawkeye punter Gary Costrubala booted the ball out of bounds at his own 36-yard line, Russell Rein moved the Wolverines to a first and goal at the five. But Michigan lost five yards on two plays, then was backed up another five for delay of game. Finally, on third down at the 15-yard line, Rein was intercepted by safety Devon Mitchell, who chugged 75 yards down the sideline to set up Iowa's second touchdown and put the game out of reach. "That was the big play of the game if there was one," said Schembechler. "Not only do you not get in, but you give them field position as well." THE TRIUMPH kept the Hawkeyes-even with Ohio State in the Big Ten race at 4-1 and gave all the Iowans something to get excited about. "Oh, gee, what a great game," exclaimed the Hawkeye head coach Hayden Fry. "It was the most satisfying victory that I have ever been associated with against one of the best football programs in America." d in 26-0 "THIS WAS A big win," agreed Hawk quar- terback Chuck Long. "It's not every day that you beat Bo Schembechler 26-0. We proved today how good we are. Iowa indeed looked unstoppable in front of the CBS cameras. It avoided the turnovers that had cost it losses to Penn State and Ohio State earlier in the year and kept its opponent out of the end zone for the third straight game. "It was a super defensive football game," said Fry. "No one ever dreamed we would goose-egg Michigan." "WE KNEW if we could get them in passing situations, we could beat them," said Hawkeye safety Mike Stoops. "They rely on that strong running game and we thought if we could take it away from them, they'd be in trouble." The struggling Wolverine offense mustered only 104 yards on the ground, but Schembechler wasn't giving all the credit to the opposition. "They're good," said Schembechler. "But not good enough to shut us out." See MICHIGAN, Page 8 Associated Press Michigan quarterback Russell Rein (3) falls to the turf after taking a snap from center Art Balourdos (59). The play was indicative of the Wolverines' offense yesterday, which was totally shut down by Iowa in the Hawkeyes' 26-0 victory. p 1 I 'a ~ Students record Reagan speeches TwBy MARK LANDIS Two University graduate students made their debuts as historians Friday with the release of The Triumph of The American Spirit, a 300-page tribute to President Reagan. "What happened really was we started talking about how Reagan is always referred to as the 'Great Communicator,' and we thought it would be great if *someone would actually collect these speeches somewhere in a pretty systematic way," said co-editor Emil Area, a third- year law student. The pair first started talking about the book last December but did not start working on it until June, said co-author and third-year medical student Gregory Pamel. Because Area worked for a law firm in Detroit and Pamel was enrolled in the medical school this summer, the two did most of their research and editing on weekends or late at night. See GRADS, Page 2 I Profs look at debate strategies GOP plans quiet anti- Mondale protest By KERY MURAKAMI Walter Mondale's speech at a rally last month at the University of Southern California was marred by hecklers chanting "Four more years" and "Bor-ing." The heckling was so loud that Mon- dale stopped his speech, and shouted, "It's not bad enough that the Republicans are running from the issues, they've got to send a couple of kids here to prevent us from being heard in this campaign." MARK LEACHMAN, the president of College Republicans here, said the club's members will "let Mondale know we're here" when the Democratic presidential candidate speaks on the Diag Tuesday afternoon. But he said the group would not interrupt Mon- dale's address. "We'll be there with signs. .. But on- ce (Mondale) starts speaking, I'll tell my people the heckling stops," Leach- man said. But the USC incident - together with anti-abortion, anti-Mondale demon- strations that have plagued campaign stops by Mondale and vice-presidential challenger Geraldine Ferraro-have made organizers of the campus rally wary. "IF WE CONSIDER their past ac- tions on this campus and across the nation, we have to think they'll try something," said Steve Heyman, a student coordinator for the Mondale See GOP, Page 2 By BRUCE JACKSON with wire reports The September truck bombing of the American Embassy annex in Lebanon and efforts to end the arms race are likely to be hot items in tonight's debate between President Reagan and Democratic challenger Walter Mondale. Several University professors say the candidates are evenly matched. Reagan enters the debate showing a lead in pubic opinion polls, and Mondale has the advantage of being dubbed the winner of the candidates' debate two weeks ago on domestic affairs. The 90-minute debate in the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Music Hall will be broadcast live by television networks beginning at 8p.m. Following is a summary of the issues and comments from professors on each candidate's position: Arms Control A sensitive issue, arms control may find the two presiden- tial contenders striking uncharacteristic stances. "Mondale has a difficult road home," says History Prof. Brad Perkins. Mondale must maintain a hard line against Soviet military aggression, Perkins says, but at the same time, "He has got to impress Americans with the dangers of the arms race and the need to do something about it." If charged with an unwillingness to negotiate on arms reductions with the Soviets, Reagan is likely to haul out the history books, according to Political Science Prof. Raymond Tanter. Reagan could counter that the U.S. initiated the inter- mediate range nuclear force talks and the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) in 1981-82 and the Soviet Union walked out of those two talks in 1983, Tanter says. Abramo Organski, also a professor of political science, agrees. He predicts Reagan would 'simply respond, "We have had communications." BUT MONDALE could say those proposals for arms talks were not serious proposals, according to History Prof. Ronald Suny. "Later this was admitted by the Reagan ad- ministration," he says. Reagan is the first president since Harry Truman not to sign an arms treaty with the Soviets. The professors predicted that Mondale would emerge the winner of the arms control debate. "Mondale will try to put Reagan on the defense about arms control. "He'll be after him for not negotiating settlements," Perkins said.

Over 6,000 people participated in the effort, but there were not enough people to form a single continuous chain. Protesters attempt to form six-mile chain By ROB DUNNE Special to the Daily DETROIT-"As you drive along the road mile after mile and see people saying something you wonder about what they're saying," said University graduate Ken White as he helped in the effort to form a six-and-a half-mile human chain yesterday. " Some 6,000 protesters lined up along Eight Mile Road trying to form a chain stretching from the National Artillery Armory to the National Guard Armory. They were demon- strating against the nuclear arms race, military intervention in Central America, and the decrease in funding for human services.
