Last known wild condor captured I The Michigan Daily - Monday, A pril 20, 1987 - Page 3 Rally tries 0to ignite students against code VENTURA, Calif. (AP) - The last California condor known to be ip the Wild was captured yesterday for a captive-breeding program in - tended to save the giant birds from extinction, the National Audubon Society said. The only other California con- dors known to exist are in zoos in Los Angeles and San Diego. "The bird had sort of meandered around the trapping area for about an hour, bumping several eagles to g get at the bait," Audubon Vice President Robert SanGeorge said. "They got the bird into a cage and into a car, and then off it went," he said. "They attempt to do it with as little stress and trauma to the bird as possible." The Audubon society hoped the capture would save the species, he said. "Audubon has been fighting for the survival of the California con - dor for nearly a half-century,"csaid SanGeorge, reading a statement from Audubon President Peter Berle. "We lament the fact that no condors are now flying free over California. But we believe the cap - ture of the last three wild birds in recent months may signal a new be - ginning for this troubled species." "It must be understood that cap - tive breeding is only the means to an end - the eventual release of condors back into the wild," the statement said. Regents pass new research guidelines By REBECCA BLUMENSTEIN Members of the Michigan Student Assembly who organized Friday's 'No Code' rally were anx- ious to increase student opposition to what they view as University implementation of a code of non- academic student conduct. Although the turn-out was not as high as anticipated, students clearly voiced their opposition to a panel appointed by University President Harold Shapiro which plans to hold a hearing to invest- igate and recommend punishments for recent acts of racism. "The code is a great threat... it violates student rights. Shapiro has used the acts of two racists (as an excuse) for the administration to take away our rights," said Becca Felton, vice president of MSA. MEMBERS of the University commission say their investigation is not intended to be an implem- entation of the code. A code would set up a supplemental court system within the University to punish offenders of a University code of behavior with academic sanctions. Admin- istrators say a code is needed to help govern the University community since the civil court system does not do an adequate job. Students, on the other hand, say that to punish behavior like protests with suspension or expulsion will ultimately lead to a denial of freedom of speech and expression. OPPOSITION to a code has meant more than 15 years of rallies and protests. Although the pro- testing students may be different, their message is the same - the administration has no right to punish a student with academic sanctions for behavior outside the classroom. In the past the code has been defeated by student opposition and by University Board of Regents bylaw 7.02, which states that any code must be approved by the Michigan Student Assembly, the faculty senate, and the Board of Regents before implementation. The University Council - composed of students, faculty, and administrators -has been working on a code draft since 1984, when Shapiro asked them to take up the problem. "The University is violating a regental bylaw by trying to implement a code without input from the University Council," said David Newblatt, a student member of the council. "They are trying to set up a precedent of academic sanction without a formal mechanism." As a founder of the 'No Code' movement, Ann Arbor resident Eric Goldstein handed out spray paint to students, and encouraged them to deface the Diag with anti-code stencils. "The University responds only to attacks upon their image," Goldstein said. "We must drag the University in the gutter." (Continued from Page 1) Assembly and graduate student, said she will keep up the protest, even !'if it means sitting in on every goddamn lab that performs military research" F FORMER MSA military -esearch adviser Robyn Watts said a protest against the regents' decision ;will take place later this week, but the would not elaborate. "The iUniversity has lost its moral stand. This is hurting the University and its principles," she said. ~ LSA junior Jackie Victor, a student member of the Research Policies Committee, said she would like to take over the Administration $uilding in protest. But Vice President for Research Lin da Wilson said, "The Community would be wrong in interpreting this as a signal in a new direction." Wilson said faculty researchers will not change their ways, and that the content of research projects will basically stay On the same course. James Lesch, head of the Jniversity's Division of Research 4nd Development Administration, added that the new process "does Away with a very subjective and dumbersome process" Lesch said heedoes not expect a sharp inereasw in the number of classified project proposals. HOWEVER, some researchers, including Political Science Prof. 3aymond Tanter, said they may resubmit classified projects. Tanter's 1985 classified project, "Alternative Approaches to Arms C pntrol," was rejected by the Ikesearch Policies Committee because he could not publish his results within the one-year timeE Oimit. Tanter said that he may resubmit{ his proposal if his current,t unclassified research on the same topic requires the use of classifiedj material. Because of the fewer restrictions on classified research in the new policy, some protestors predict more classified dollars will come to the University. Two of the three classified projects currently at the University are sponsored by the Pentagon. WAGNER speculated that the three new Pentagon-sponsored University Research Initiative projects, currently non-classified, may start to use classified information under the new policy. The Department of Defense funded more than $10.5 million of the University's $182 million research budget last year. This amount will increase by $2 million next year because of URI. The previous policy required. classified project proposals to pass through the three-member Classified Research Review Panel, then the RPC, and finally the Vice President for Research before research could begin. Non-classified proposals had no review format. THE REGENTS voted to abolish the old policy after passing the new one, so most likely the CRRP will be broken up and the RPC will lose most of its jurisdiction over classified research projects. Regents Paul Brown (D- Petoskey) and Veronica Smith (R- Grosse4lUe) opposed the new policy_ at the meeting, favoring Brown's proposal to restrict the policy to classified research. Brown said he thought non-classified research should remain free of review. During the meeting, five members of the audience chanted "what about end-use?" Moments after the chant, Brown proposed changing "aimed at enhancing" in the policy's introduction, to "the end use of which is the enhancement of." His amendment was voted down. The regents' decision may have derived from the guideline review by President Harold Shapiro's ad hoc committee. The committee, formed in 1985, split and drafted a majority and minority report last term. Both reports recommended dropping the end-use clause.

New research guidelines (Continued from Page 1) agreements for research which unreasonably restrict its faculty, staff, or students from publishing or otherwise disseminating the results of the research. 3. The University will accept a classified research grant, contract, or agreement if it can be accommodated without compromising the University's pursuit of its educational mission and if its purpose is clearly in the public interest. 4. Nothing in these provisions shall prohibit grants, contracts, or agreements that restrict publication or other public dissemination of classified or proprietary information supplied to the investigator by the sponsor, as distinguished from information generated in the course of research performed by members of the University community. 5. Where the sponsor supplies classified or proprietary information to the investigator, the grant, contract, or agreement may include reasonable provisions for submission of manuscripts arising form the sponsored research to the sponsor for review prior to publication or other public dissemination so that the sponsor may verify that no such classified or proprietary information is disclosed. 6. The responsibility for compliance with these policies rests with the principal investigators, the department chairs, the deans of the schools and colleges, and the directors of the institutes and centers, and the Vice President for Research, in the regular channels for review and authorization of such research grants, contracts, and agreements. 7. Periodic assessment and review of the impact of these policies are appropriate and necessary. The Vice President for Research shall provide to the Regents, after consultation with the Senate Assembly Research Policies Committee, an annual report on the implementation of this policy.
