Committee
callsfor
med tech
te en
By ROB FRANK
The University should discontinue its
medical technology program, accor-
ding to a recommendation made by a
special review committee. The discon-
tinuance has also been endorsed by the
University's central administration.
The Board of Regents is expected to
approve the proposal Thursday at its
monthly meeting.
THE DECISION by the peer review
committee ends a year of speculation
by faculty members and students about
what will happen to the program, which
despite acknowledged excellence has
consistently cost the University of
$180,000 to maintain.
A questionable demand for the
program was another reason the com-
mittee recommended its termination.
The need is diminighed because the
University's program is one of 23 in
medical technology programs in the
state.
. For Sandra Gluck, director of the
medical technology program, the
recommendation is difficult to accept.
She countered the claim that the
program is too expensive by pointing to
other related programs. "It is expen-
sive," she said, "but no more so than
any allied health program."
GLUCK DISAGREES with several
points of the committee's report.
Among these is a concern for freshmen
who came to the University planning to
enter the 'program after their
sophomore year.
While the recommendation will allow
students accepted in the program to
complete their studies, students who
have not yet applied will not be allowed
to begin.
Diana Slowiejko, a freshman from
Warren Mich., selected the University
over Wayne State and Michigan State
Universities because of the medical
technology program.
"I have to change my career
decision," she said. "At first I thought
about transferring but now I'm taking
it as an omen that maybe I should go in-
to something else."
Termination of the program will
mean Slowiejko will need to enroll for
an additional year to make up credits
she will need for her new program.
"It's really frustrating," she added. "If
I had known this I probably would have
gone to a different school."

police won't be called in


By KERY MURAKAMI
Students at Columbia University
gained some breathing room yesterday
when university President Michael
Sovern reportedly vowed to Rev. Jesse
Jackson that he would not use police
force to end the anti-apartheid protest
of 400 Columbia students.
The students who have been
blockading the entrance to the univer-
sity's Hamilton Hall-a building which
houses classrooms and administration
offices-have constantly been
threatened with police action since the
protest began 10 days ago.
But Jackson, speaking with student
leaders after his meeting with Sovern,
said that the university president had
assured him that he will not use police
force to disrupt the protest. The
president also agreed to set up a
meeting with Ivy League presidents
next Friday to discuss divestment of.
stocks in companies that do business
with South Africa, Jackson added.
"It is a victory in that we are no

longer threatened," said student leader
Tony Glover, a Columbia senior. "As
long as we can sustain the protest, we
do not have to worry about facing the
police."
When asked how the students would
do against a long waiting game, Glover
said that the students are extremely
committed: "We're pledged to stay
here at least until we graduate," he
said.
President Sovern was unavailable for
comment.
The protesters also received a legal
buffer yesterday when New
York State Appellate Court Judge Max
Bloom refused the university's request
to annul a restraining order New York
State Supreme Court justice Bruce
Wright had ordered last week. The or-
der prohibits the university from taking
police action against the students.
"Even if Sovern goes back on his
promise, we still have some security,"
Glover said.
"The trustees and President Sovern

have realized that with the national
support we've gotten, it would be un-
wise to call the cops in," said C. Vernon
Mason, one of the attorneys for the
protesters.
For the students, Jackson's presence
was a ''needed pump in the arm,"
Glover said. "Jackson being here puts
the focus of this protest nationally."
Rev. Jackson, speaking to the 400
protesters and approximately 2,500
spectators from the steps of Hamilton
Hall, praised the students saying that
"without protests, the university can
live proudly by day and sleep at night with an
economic prostitute."
Jackson also urged an escalation of
the protest to other campuses around
the country, said Columbia sophomore
John Clavens, a member of the protest.
The demonstrators are trying to per-
suade the university to divest its $39
million in stocks it has invested in 26
companies that do business in South
Africa.

"That's another part of it," Austin
said. "There will be a bucket drive
going on later today. They (Bikes Not
Bombs) play a really important role
because there's a real transportation
crisis there."
After the exorcism, the 16 green bikes
were turned over randomly to people on
the Diag. The recipients may use the
bikes as long as they want. But in
keeping with the cooperative spirit,
they will never actualy own the two-
wheelers. And, of course, locking the
bikes to a rack is out of the question.
LSA junior. Paul McNaughton, the
proud user of an olive-drab clunker,
vowed he will never clamp a lock on the
bike.
"No, No," McNaughton said, "the
green bike will not be locked."
The exorcism became passionate and
intense at times, especially when some
of the exorcists figuratively sucked the
dark spirits from the bicycles. But one
observer said he did not get anything

out of the ceremony.
"No, not really," said business school
senior Scott Kudialis. "The thing I en-
joyed about it was that it was a
celebration of spring. Everybody's out
just congregating at the Diag. That to
me is what it was all about."
