The linguistics department is being revamped into a program as recom- mended by a reorganization committee headed by Associate Dean for Long Range Planning Jack Meiland. ROBBINS BURLING has accepted an interim director post for the year in Toon's absence. Burling, an an- thropology and linguistics professor, was the chairman of the anthropology department from 1980 through 1983. According to Meiland suggestions for the directorship Were solicited by LSA Dean Peter Steiner from linguistics faculty and linguists throughout the University. The appointment was made by Steiner and the College Executive Committee. The director is to work with a steering committee, which is still being formed, to determine faculty assignments and undergraduates doc- toral program curricula. The program will have four less faculty positions than the present department, but Burling hopes to get faculty from other language related departments on campus involved. "It is really important and exciting to be involving people from other depar- tments," he said. "I would like to build those ties." Currently on sabbatical, Toon has headed up the freshman English program for the last three years. He recently received a Guggenheim award, a year long grant for professors to research in their fields. Cal. protes (Continued from Page1' Sadun was unsure how many groups had actually pledged support, but he said it was "only a matter of calling them and asking them for support." The original protest was organized by a group called the UC Divestment Coalition. That protest, held last Wed- nesday started the sit-in which has now lasted four days. "WEDNESDAY'S protest was sort of spontaneous . . . and then a group of about 50 people said, 'Fuck it, let'sjust stay here,' " said one demonstrator who would only be identified as Steve. Brendon Cummings, a freshman who has remained on the steps of Sproul sin- ce Wednesday, said the protest originally had little to do with a similar protest at Columbia Univerity in New York. . The Michigan Daily- Sunday, April 14, 1985- Page 3 slow over weekend "Wednesday was planned way before anything at Colunbia," Cummings said. "It was to be a protest for divest- ment on all the UC campuses." ACCORDING to Cummings, the organizers had not planned a sit-in to follow the protest, but instead planned a phone-in campaign in an attempt to tie up university phone lines. "But people just didn't want to leave," he said. "So we actually plan- ned the sit in at the protest - not before." Aside from the 200 or so students who remain on the building steps, other remnants of the three-day protest can be seen. Sproul Hall is covered with tat- tered anti-apartheid banners, including one which says "Welcome to Steven Biko Plaza." STEVEN BIKO was a black South African student killed in prison in 1977 after protesting :the South African government. The banner is taped over the archway entrance to Sproul Plaza, the courtyard area adjacent to the Student Union and the site of the demonstration. Don Talbert, one of the protest's organizers, said the university has remained very neutral on the protest. Administrators met with students Friday night and demanded the demon- strators make a three-foot access to the building and remove their mattresses from the front steps. "They had all sorts of reasons for, taking the mattresses," Sadun said. "But the police just contradicted them- selves and basically admitted that they just didn't want us to become comfor- table." ,. .r ".}v :""r vv.v;:.": - .:,.:rr.."r:::.....:."r v"v." rx:xx"." v." r ""v "xw.:o": w: ".":."." :":."r- 8 R"v}'???ti: Xti::r :" ., r .
