C I br Sir t9auan Ninety-seven years of editorial freedom EaIIQ Vol. XCVII - No. 7 Copyright 1986, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, September 12, 1986 Ten Pages 'U' Coun By REBECCA BLUMENSTEIN 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. Michigan set to tackle Irish By PHIL NUSSEL 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 Previews ' "Dog of the Week" and continue its season in mediocrity. 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 has - pardon the cliche' - "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. Moslem extremists 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 is acceptable to Palestinian leaders because both refer to Palestinians as refugees and not Overcrowdin Comimuter uses pose prob lens BylHampton Dellinger. its never been this bad." said 14 minutes.
