cl Alt i'au Ninety-six years of editorialfreedom Iait i Vol. XCVI -No. 25 Copyright 1985, The Michigan Doily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Wednesday October 9, 1985 Eight Pages i High court hears case involving 'U' By CHRISTY RIEDEL The United States Supreme Court yesterday heard the University's case against a former fourth-year medical student who was expelled from the University in 1981. The case against Scott Ewing, who now lives in Chicago, went to the Supreme Court because it involves a dispute over the violation of a constitutional right and because the University contends that a lower court ruling in favor of Ewing was in contradiction with previous Supreme Court rulings. EWING enrolled in the University's Inteflex program in' 1975. He first filed suit against the University in 1982, after an unsuccessful appeal to a panel of professors who ex- pelled him for substandard academic performance. A University legal brief said that Ewing was placed on academic probation three times before his expulsion, which came after his failure on Part One of the National Board of Medical Examiners test. The brief also says Ewing's score was the lowest ever received by a student at the University. Medical students take the test before beginning work on medical internships. Ewing asked to be reinstated at the University and to be given a chance to retake the test. The panel of professors who made the decision to expell him upheld their original decision, making Ewing the first University student denied a chance to take the examination again. EWING then filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit, which upheld the University's decision, saying that the University was immune from such a suit. Ewing appealed his case to the sixth U.S. Circuit Court in Cincinnati, which ruled in his favor. The court stated See 'U', Page 3 wSU back students editor Ask president to intervene By JILL OSEROWSKY One hundred Wayne State University studen- ts rallied yesterday to protest the firing of the student newspaper's editor and ask the univer- sity president to enter the controversy. Patricia Maceroni lost her $150 a week position last Thursday because she refused to print military advertisements in the school paper, The South End. YESTERDAY'S demonstrations began at Gullen Mall, the center of campus, where the students rallied for 35 minutes. They then set off for university President David Adamany's McKenzie Hall office. Evan Dixon, vice president of the campus student council, and an organizer of the march, said the students wanted Adamany to "inter- vene and establish mediation before" Maceroni's dismissal is taken to court. Maceroni has said she may ask a court to settle the issue if she is not reinstated. According to Jim Burrows, the lone mem- ber of the WSU plublications board who voted against Maceroni's dismissal, when the demonstrators reached McKenzie Hall they were met by campus and Detroit police officers who were trying to barricade the building. HE SAID protesters tried to enter the building as police were attempting to lock it. "They handcuffed the doors shut to McKen- zie Hall while people were inside," he said. "I tried to walk into it . ..and the police punched me (and) threw me back out of the building and finished barricading the doors." Burrows, who resigned from the publications board after Macerom's firing, saidhe was sur- prised by the police officers' aggressiveness. "I'm 38 years old and balding," he said. "I'm really not a very threatening person.r" "I THINK violence is inappropriate at. anytime and most especially on a college cam- pus in response to the needs of a student," he added. A Detroit police spokesman said there were, no injuries or arrests during the protest and refused to comment further on the incident. After the protesters spent an hour in front of McKenzie Hall, Dixon and the student council president, Jay Grossman, were allowed into the building to take a written statement to. Adamany. But when they arrived at the office they learned that Adamany had left the office shortly before the protest. DIXON SAID he believed the protest was successful because the student council officers were able to arrange a meeting with Adamany. They are scheduled to meet with him at 10 a.m. today. Adamany could not be reached for comment. Dixon said he will ask Adamany to reinstate Maceroni until the issue is settled and arrange for the dispute to be mediated by a third party on campus. "Hopefully (Adamany) will be able to stop this thing from going to court," Dixon said. Guiding light Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON The morning sun creates a pattern in an East Quad stairwell yesterday. Speaker P calls for S. African sanctions By NANCY DRISCOLL and KERY MURAKAMI The United States must enact com- plete economic sanctions against South Africa or risk becoming enemies with those fighting apartheid in that nation, according to Onmarou Garba Youssoufou, ambassador to the United Nations from the Organization of African Unity. Speaking before about 200 Peace Corps volunteers at a luncheon in the Michigan Union yesterday, Youssoufou said "It's academic if you help us (fight apartheid),"-he said, "we are going to win, with or without the United States." YOUSSOUFOU warned that history is recorded so precisely now that 20 years in the future South Africans will be able to "turn on a videotape" and see exactly what the United States' stance was now. "If you jump on the bandwagon and endorse comprehensive economic sanctions against South Africa, you will show the blacks in that country that you really care. If you don't and we win, you're ging to have a problem," he said. See SPEECHES, Page 6 Ex-SLS director blasts code By JERRY MARKON A former director of Student Legal Services last night accused Univer- sity President Harold Shapiro of trying to coerce the University Coun- cil into drafting a code for non- academic conduct similar to the one last proposed by the administration last November. Jonathon Rose, who served as director of SLS from 1975 to 1981, said Shapiro is "trying to coerce anyone's endorsement because he's saying if you don't write a code, we're going to do it worse." SPEAKING after he addressed the Michigan Student Assembly about the dangers of submitting passively to a code, Rose predicted that the ad- ministration will eventually "try to manufacture history" by claiming that the student body favored a code, even if the students actively resist its implementation. The code issue heated up again this week when two students on the University Council - which has been attempting to write an alternative to the code proposed by the ad- ministration last November 15 - revealed that Shapiro had threatened to bypass the council and submit the November code to the regents in January. Originally proposed by the Univer- sity in 1983, the Code for Non- Academic Conduct would create a mechanism for the University tc punish students, faculty, and staff, for various offenses outside the classroom.

University still in the dark By PETER MOONEY One of President Reagan's most controversial appointees, Civil Rights Commission Chairman Clarence Pendleton, yesterday told a largely hostile University addience that racism still exists in the United States. "There is racism in America. There always will be," Pendleton said at the speech, which was sponsored by the Federalist Society, an organization of law students. "It cannot be prevented by laws or regulations." BUT HE added that there is a "new racism" in America, an example of 'There is racism in America. There always will be.' - Clarence Pendleton which is "substituting race for stan- dards in employment and admission to college." Advocacy of this thinking by black leaders, pendleton said, is a "role reversal" in that they now want "equality of results." During the question and answer session which followed the speech in Hutchins Hall, demonstrators wearing black face makeup ap- proached the podium and accused Pendleton of having an "European mind hiding behind a black face." The protesters, who would identify themselves only as "concerned mem- bers of the Ann Arbor African- american community," then put a Bible on the podium to aid in what they called an "exorcism" of Pen- dleton. PENDLETON chuckled at the demonstration, saying it represented a "slave mentality."

From Saturday night through Mon- day night, there were no lights on the Diag or along S. University Street. As of last night, light had returned to the Diag, but S. University remained unlit. ACCORDING to Leo Heatley, the director of the Department of Public Safety, there have been similar outages around campus during the past month. Heatley said he was told that the outages could have been caused by the subcontractors from the Univer- sity's new phone company inadver- tently cutting the wrong cables un- derground, where they are installing new phone lines. Neither Al Stevens, a foreman at the University Electric Shop, nor George Thompson of the Detroit Edison Company were available to give a reason for the outages. CONCERN among students for their own safety at night has in- creased because of the outages. Suzanne Wagner, a graduate student, said she felt "lousy" about the recent outages, because "it's very dark to be walking home alone." Janice Simon, a Ph.D. candidate in history of art, was angered by the outages, noticing that the lights on S. University have been out for days and have yet to come back on. "With all the problems of assault in this city... you think they'd do something about "We've received a lot of complaints from students and staff people" about the poor lighting, Heatley said, adding that his office is trying to get Detroit Edison to fix the lights quickly. "The more people who squawk about (the outages), the faster they will get fixed," he said. By LAURA BISCHOFF Administrators, student coordinators, and representatives from the county's Assault Crisis Center kicked off training sessions for workshop leaders last weekend as part of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center that the Univer- sity recently established. The 90-minute workshops will focus on acquain- tance rape and are scheduled to begin late this fall. The workshops will be available to dorm residents, fraternities, sororities, co-ops, and other student groups, said David Lovinger, an art school senior and a student coordinator of the program. THE VOLUNTEER student facilitators will go through close to 20 hours of training in the next two weeks. The training was designed by the Assault Crisis Center and includes group facilitation techniques, myths and facts concerning rape, some prevention methods, and ways to deal with a victim of sexual assault, officials said. These workshops are the first program to come out of the new sexual assault center which has yet. to hire a coordinator. Members on the hiring committee hope to have someone on board by November 1, said Marvin Parnes, co-chair of the hiring committee and assistant director of housing education. The workshops were initially planned by a num- ber of groups, including the Michigan Student Assembly, several University offices, and the crisis center which serves Washtenaw County. Those groups later joined with the new campus center to organize the program. "IT IS NOT all a cold and heartless bureaucracy. There are some people who care," Parnes said.
