The regents, speaking to students at an informal reception in the Michigan Union, placed no deadline on when they would consider by-passing the council and adopting the series of rules for behavior outside the classroom. HOWEVER, they said the council - which has been meeting for over a year - has had enough time to com- plete its work, and that action on the code issue should be taken soon. "I think the students on the council have been trying not to have a code by not making one," said Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline). "I'm willing to wait until (University) President Shapiro brings us a code to vote on, but I think something should be done soon." "A year is sufficient time," said Regent Sarah Power (D-Ann Arbor), "especially when the safety of people are involved." She pointed out that the University currently has no mechanism for taking action on students, faculty, or staff members who violate crimes, outside of calling the police. ADMINISTRATORS have said this is not enough because of cases when arsonists, for example, are released on bail and allowed to return to cam- pus. Power said it was not her place to set the timetable for the code's issue and denied a rumor that she had told some students at the reception she felt the regents should take action on the code next month. "I said that if students wanted to come talk about differing views on the code at next month's (regents meeting), I'm sure Mr. Shapiro would set aside some time for them." REGENTS Nellie Varner (D- Detroit), Veronica Smith (R-Grosse Ile), and Neal Nielsen (R-Brighton) also said yesterday the regents per- ceive the council as stalling and that action shouldbe taken soon.The three other regents on the board were unavailable for comment. The regent's remarks signal growing impatience with the council. Last month, students involved in the code issue, including two who serve on the council, said Shapiro had threatened, in private discussions, that he would present the regents with a version of last year's code proposal by the administration, unless the council finished work by then. The council is not expected to finish by the end of the year. It has not yet begun to work on the most controversial aspect of any code proposal - how the University should handle acts of civil disobedience. Councilmembers, when told of the regents' statments at the end of its weekly meeting yesterday, brushed off the news as "old news."

Wolverines hunting for Gophers in Dome Engin. ethics By PHIL NUSSEL It has been terribly foggy in Ann Arbor all week, but it's going to get Foggie-er for Michigan tomorrow when it travels to Minnesota to meet the 6-3 Golden Gophers and their star sophomore quarterback Rickey Foggie. A lot more is on the line in this year's Wolverine-Gopher clash than in most recent Little Brown Jug matchups because both teams are in need of a win to get a decent bowl bid. Should Iowa lose, Michigan (7-1-1) will be in control of its Rose Bowl destiny next week against Ohio State while the Gophers need to finish well to get any kind of bid. BUT FOR now, the bowl situation is wrapped in Foggie-ness. After keeping Jack Trudeau, Chuck Long, and Jim Everett - three of the Big Ten's top quarterbacks - out of the end zone, the Michigan defense once again has its work cut out for it in trying to stop Foggie who, unlike the other three, is a running threat. With his rushing and passing talen- ts, Foggie is seen by many as the Big Ten's best all-around quarterback. He has rushed for 417 yards and nine See BLUE, Page 10 I Prof to give class on * making nuclear bomb, course proposed By WILLIAM PFLAUM A new course in ethics, designed to make engineers aware of the im- plications of their science, may be of- fered to engineering school students as early as next year, Mike Castle, chairman of the Engineering Council's ethics commit- tee, said course curriculum would be determined by students. "THE MOST important thing is that it would be an. open forum," he said. Topics such as pollution and the Strategic Defense Initiative, might be considered for class discussion, he said. "But we should also consider everyday things . . . every time you turn on a light or talk on the phone, you're affected by engineering designs," Castle said. If approved by the college's ad- ministration, the course would be of- fered to 70 juniors, seniors, and graduate students, Castle said. But the college's standing commit- See ENGINEERING, Page 3 WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A University of New Haven professor will teach a course next year on how to make a crude nuclear bomb, saying he hopes to "increase public awareness of nuclear weapons and their effect." The course, "Introduction to Nuclear Weapons," will rely on in- formation already divulged in various publications, according to professor Richard Morrison, who will teach the class. "ANYONE who can get their hands on an encyclopedia and some plutonium can find out without taking my class how to put together a bomb. Making a crude bomb is very, very easy," he said.
