Muenchow resigns
from student caucus
By MARTHA SEVETSON
Michigan Student Assembly
President Kurt Muenchow resigned
from the Student Caucus on
Strategic Planning last night,
saying that appointments to such a
committee should have been made
by the assembly.
"Any student input into
University decision-making should
go through MSA," said Muenchow.
"Otherwise there's the possibility
of an administrator picking and
choosing students on campus who
will only rubber-stamp his ideas."
THE caucus, formed at the end
of fall term under the direction of
interim President James Duderstadt,
was made up of students appointed
by former MSA President Paul
Josephson. It was created to include
students in Duderstadt's new
initiative to improve undergraduate
life.
Muenchow joined the group,
abiding the condition that he not
inform MSA members of the
proceedings. "I was almost as much
as told that if I brought this to
MSA, students wouldn't be
involved in the University planning
process at this stage," he said.
Muenchow first discussed the
caucus with the assembly last
night, in response to MSA
members' questions about the secret
panel.
I N an interview after the
meeting, Muenchow refused to say
why he was banned from telling
MSA about the caucus and deferred
the question to Josephson.
Josephson refused to comment.
MSA member Ken Weine, an
LSA junior, said he first became
aware of the caucus when he read
about it in The Daily. "As an MSA
representative I didn't really
understand how or where this group
was formed," he said. "I'm outraged
to see MSA's appointment power
overlooked by other student
organizations."
In response to the way
Josephson formed this caucus,
MSA members overwhelmingly
passed a resolution condemning the
student selection process to the
caucus.
ACCORDING to MSA
member Gus Teschke, a Rackham
graduate student, this process
bypasses regental bylaws reserving
the right to appoint student
representatives for MSA.
"We need to assert our authority
and keep our powers," said Teschke.
"They're being eroded right now."
MSA members who opposed the
resolution feared that condemning
the caucus might endanger the
students' ability to voice their
opinion in Duderstadt's strategic
planning commission.
"We may do more harm than
good to condemn this because
Duderstadt may act to dismantle it,"
said representative Steve Herz, an
LSA junior.

The owner of the Student Bike
Shop was found not guilty last
week of assault and battery charges
pressed by a University student.
Peter Cook, an LSA senior,
brought charges against shop owner
Bill Loy for punching him in the
face during an argument at the
South Forest store. Cook was
,returning a rented bike before the
30-day rental period ended because
the bike was damaged. Loy assessed
the damage at $55 and held Cook
responsible, even though it
appeared the bike had been
sabotaged.
Loy appeared in front of a
District Court jury last Thursday.
According to Steven Garris, Loy's
attorney, the jury found that Loy
was acting to protect his spouse,
Naomi.

legs," he added. Both Cook and the
Loys testified that Bill Loy said,
"Don't touch my wife," Garris said.
Cook asked Naomi Loy to give
him an itemized list of the damages
because he planned to take the case
to Student Legal Services.
According to Cook, Naomi Loy
was holding the receipt and refused
to give it back. Cook grabbed it
from her hands. According to him,
the owner then hit him in the jaw
and threw the receipt onto the floor.
Garris said that Cook sustained
no marks on his face where he said
Loy had hit him.
