The University Council yesterday decided to
shift its discussion to political dissent, the most
controversial area of the proposed code of non-
academic conduct. Faculty members agreed with
students on the council that the subject could be
eliminated from a final draft of the code.
"It might be that distinguishing the category of
civil dissent will have us do nothing about it at all,"
said councilmember Shaw Livermore, a professor of
history.
Stuent councilmembers have argued that any
code governing student behavior outside the
classroom should not allow the University to crack
down on political dissent. The issue helped raise
student opposition to previous drafts of the code.
cil tackle
The council-composed of students, faculty, and
administrators-has been working on writing a
code since October of 1984. The University
administration insists a code is needed to
supplement the civil court system.
By starting last spring with a discussion draft of
"emergency procedures" covering violent crimes
like murder and assault, the council had hoped to
avoid controversy, gather input, and gain
momentum to tackle more controversial issues.
The council yesterday decided to discuss the
controversial issue of political dissent, but student
members of the council still question the.need for
any code.
"Our mistake has been assuming that there are
problems that can't be adequately dealt with using
political
mediation or other alternatives," said student
member Ken Weine.
"No one has ever proven that this University
needs a code," added student member Jennifer
Faigel.
Such ambivalance has contributed to the
council's slow progress since it began working. The
panel has been plagued by rotating members and
frequent absences.
"The reason we're not focused is that we don't all
agree upon where we want to go," said Internal
Medicine Prof. Donald Rucknagel, co-chair of the
council. "We should proceed to wherever we want to
do by starting from scratch," he added.
The council has still received no reaction from
the University community to its emergency
dissent
procedures and Rucknagel feels," there's no
urgency to deal with it."
But the administration appears to be growing
more impatient. University President Harold
Shapiro last fall threatened to bypass the council and
propose the administration's code proposal- which
has been rejected by the Michigan Student
Assembly- to the Board of Regents because he was
dissatisfied with the council's progress. MSA has
the right to approve any code draft.
Although Virginia Nordby, executive assistant to
the president and author of a 1984 draft of the the
code, declined to comment on the University
Council's progress last night, she said that the
administration's attitude has not changed.

The show is about to begin.
The epic' saga production,
Michigan vs. Notre Dame, will
take place tomorrow afternoon
before more than 60,000 standing
room only fans in Notre Dame
Stadium.
FOR THE Wolverines, the
South Bend saga marks the
beginning of what they hope will
be a Big Ten championship
season. A national title is in the
picture.
For the Fighting Irish, the show
ushers in another post-Ara era,
the Lou Holtz era.
The winner will get raving
reviews and go into the '86 season
thinking it can beat anybody.
THE LOSER will be the Sneak

All Hollywood hype aside, the
game promises to be a classic
tradition vs. tradition showdown
in front of Touchdown Jesus. The
third-ranked Wolverines are 6-
point favorites, but the coaching
debut of Holtz on the fabled Irish
turf makes the game look like it

"upset" written all over it.

Egypt Israel hold
peace conferences
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt
(AP)-Prime Minister Shimon
Peres and President Hosni
Mubarak held the first Israeli-
Egyptian summit meeting in five
years yesterday in an effort to
revive the quest for Middle East
peace.
The two leaders, dispensing
with aides and interpreters,
talked privately in English for
several hours in this
Mediterranean port.
The two shook hands cordially
as they met at the Ras el-Tin
presidential palace beside the
Mediterranean Sea shortly after
Peres arrived from Tel Aviv.
Alexandria was the site of the last
Israeli-Egyptian summit
meeting, in August 1981 between
Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's
Menachem Begin.

assassinated Sadat two months
later..
Egypt is the only Arab nation
with diplomatic relations with
Israel, and any overture to the
Jewish state is considered a
political gamble by Mubarak.
Mubarak has said he
envisioned the summit as
primarily a forum for discussion
of the Palestinian question.
Peres said before leaving
Israel, "We shall not permit the
peace process to die away or fade
away, and we shall do whatever
we can to bring life and spirit to
the momentum for peace."
Relations between the two
countries hit bottom in 1982 with
Israel's invasion of Lebanon.
This summit, hailed as the
beginning of warmer relations,
was 'made possible by an
agreement, signed Wednesday,
to submit a nagging dispute over
the 250-acre border enclave of
Taba to international arbitration.
Speaking at the working
lunch, Peres said the Palestinian
issue would be discussed during
the summit.
Peres said at the lunch that U.
N. Security Council resolutions
242 and 338 should serve as a
basis for peace talks. But neither

leaders because both refer to
