The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 4, 1986 - Page 7f.,
The 1985-86 academic year was
more than studying and exams for
(he University. The Fiesta Bowl
Victory, the coming of "Star
Wars" to campus and the con-,
*tinuing battle over the code of
nonacademic conduct all occupied
the minds of students and the
front page of the Daily.
tSeptember 5: Students crowd~
back to Ann Arbor for classes and the
yearly ritual of waiting in lines.
Bookstore lines, CRISP lines, bank
lanes, "You spend most of your
college life waiting in lines," said
Diane Van Haafter, a chemical
engineering senior.
Foretelling a turbulent year in the
Michigan Student Assembly, vice
president Mickey Feusse and
m~inority affairs researcher Roderick
Linzie resign. Linzie would later
return.
The "Star Wars" controversy
comes to the University. The Reagan
IAdministration awards twoUnvr
'../er sity faculty $225,000 to do research for
the Strategic Defense Initiative.
" September 19: The Board of
Regents approve a controversial $50
per term computing fee. The fee will.
be used to increase the number of
personal computers available for
students around campus.
" September 20: In rapid suc-
cession, the regents pass two con-
troversial resolutions. First, they
Agree to divest an additional $4.5
million from corporations that do
business in South Africa. Added to $45
million in stocks it divested in 1983,
the University has divested all but
one percent of $50 million in invest-
n nts it held three years ago. Im-
mediately afterward, and without
discussion, the .regents pass a
tesolution supporting University
researchers who do Strategis Defense
IInitiative research. The regents say
their stance supports academic
freedom; students opposed to
military research on campus say it
y upports the controversial plan.
On that same day, University Vice
President for Academic Affairs Billy
]Frye resigns. Frye will leave to
become Vice President for Research
and graduate school dean at Emory
University.
Also MSA President Paul
Josephson nominates LSA junior
Phillip Cole to replace Feusse as vice
president after considerable assem-
bly in-fighting.
* September 23: 48 protesters, in-
eluding 23 University students and 1
professor, are arrested in
Congressman Carl Pursell's offices.
The demonstrators were protesting
Pursell's support for U.S. aid to the
Contra rebels in Nicaragua. The
arrests are a prelude to more arrests
10the next year.
"*September 30: In a controversial
move, the Rackham graduate
school's student government passes a
resolution opposing a speech by V ice
President George Bush on campus.
Bush ignores the resolution.
" October 11: MSA passes a similar
resolution. Bush would ignore this
tool.
" October 4: James Ionson, director
of the strategic defense initiative, and
*.proponents and opponents of the Star
Wars plan participate in a forum on
campus.
