THE DECISION appears to have been prompted by the recent rejection of political science Prof. Raymond Tanter's research project proposal that would have required the use of "secret" documents. The assembly's letter, signed by MSA President Paul Josephson, argued that the guidelines should remain intact: "We would like to express our firm ' conviction that the guidelines on classified research must remain wholly intact. The guidelines fulfill the important function of ensuring Y that University professors can openly publish their research results free from outside restrictions; thus, Associated Press allowing the University to remain an Suspect falls institution dedicated to full dissemination of information with as An unidentified man who reportedly held a convenience store clerk hostage for four hours falls to the ground af- few limits on academic freedom as ter he was hit by ahail of police gunfire in Oklahoma City.

Kock called such an exclusion "unaccep- table." Josephson agreed. "There shouldn't be any question that students should be involved," he said. "They should be primary actors in the review." Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline), who sponsored the resolution to review the guidelines, said yesterday that he did not mean to keep students off the committee. "IT IS certainly not my intent to ex- clude students from that," Roach said. He added, however, that studen- ts normally aren't involved in developing policies under the regents' jurisdiction. "Basically, there will be eight people determining what the guidelines will be: the elected regents of the University," Roach said. . Roach also pointed out that the review by faculty members and executive officers now only involves reporting back to the regents, not ac- tual policy decisions. "I'm sure we'll get a lot of input," he said. All involved agree the guidelines are imperfect, yet. MSA said that changing the policy because of the decision on Tanter's project "will set an ill-advised precedent for decision- making at the University," according to the letter. BUT ROACH said the review was sparked by repeated problems with the guidelines, which were passed in 1973. "The Tanter case is only one in- cident, but there are many problems," Roach said. "The Tanter case illustrates a problem. Everyone sees it and says, 'This is good for mankind, but gee, we can't do it here.' " Tanter's proposal involved studying ways to reach arms control agreements without formal treaties, including President Reagan's "Star Wars" proposal. Kock said Tanter's project may not promote peace. "He's not in peace studies," she said.
