The council, charged with coming up with a code of non-academic con- duct, seemed to reach a consensus that people accused of violent crimes should be punished by the civil authorities, not the University. BUT THE University should still be able to impose sanctions like barring the accused from a classroom if a "central coordinator" feels the move is necessary for the University's safety. Even though the sanctions could be punitive in nature, the idea behind them is not. Under the preliminary plan, written by two councilmembers, the accused would have the right to a hearing within two weeks of the time the san- ctions were imposed, said Eric See'U,' Page4 Williams protesters lose court appeal LANSING, Mich. (UPI) The Michigan Court of Appeals yesterday ruled an Oakland County judge did not violate the rights of peace protesters when he ordered them jailed until they promise to stop trespassing at a missile engine plant. "While appellants' heartfelt desire to halt the nuclear arms race is laudatory, appellants simply have no constitutional right to trespass or destroy property in support of their view as to how that noble end should be achieved," the court said. MICHAEL PITT, a Detroit attorney defending the protesters, said the ruling likely will be appealed. In 1983, the Oakland County Circuit Court issued an injunction prohibiting protesters from trespassing on the property of Williams International Corp. or obstructing access to the Walled Lake plant, which produes gas turbine engines used in the cruise missile. In orders issued on April 28 and June 11 of the following year, 14 people were found in contempt. All but two were jailed, although all later were released while the appeal was pending. UNDER THE contempt order, the defendants are able to win their release by promising to abide by the injunction in the future. On appeal, the protesters acknowledged that they may be punished for actually violating the or- der. But they said their constitutional rights were violated when the judge See WILLIAMS, Page 4 Daily photo by KATE O'LEARY Jerami Schroder (left) and friend Ellen Penney spend the afternoon swinging, singing, and having fun at Summit Park yesterday.
