"Obviously there have been some benefits to animal research, but ad- dicting monkeys to opium and then kill- ing them doesn't make sense." The protesters marched from down- town Ann Arbor through the University's central campus, and finally staged a pro- test at President James J. Duderstadt's South University Avenue home.

The protest was generally low-key and unobtrusive, as most marchers handed out literature and carried signs. Though a few chanted slogans, most were careful not to obstruct traffic or cause a disturbance. "They should be louder. They're not getting noticed, so they should make more noise." said Jeff Kurson, an LSA sophomore. Chiado said the march was intended simply to be visible, not to be a nuisance. "The main goal," he said, "is to pass out these 2,000 fliers." Though the protest was part of World Laboratory Animal Liberation Week, no efforts were made by the marchers to free any of the thousands of animals kept in the University's 350 animal testing rooms. Howard G. Rush, the assistant dir tor of the University laboratory medicint unit said the organization had a "politica agenda - to stop all animal research. We take very good care of these animals." Eliav Barr, a University of Chicago research scientist in town for his sister' graduationcalled the protest "misguided. "When their children are sick ant need care, where will (the protesters) be Doctors are working on real diseases ant finding real cures with this important 4 search," Barr said. Nevertheless, Chris and Bot Anderlik, two retired school teachers got up at 5 a.m. to drive the 280 mile from Traverse City to protest th University's practices. "We believe strongly that doing re search on animals is wrong and doesn' help anyone," Chris said. tudents storm regents meeting, rally-against code I asrsa a a asasv ,av A s"a a a a v a s , I 1220 South University 665-7777 21 and over after 9m Ifrl HOTTESTI, ON 0G HER. o Crystal Semisdor Corporation, o member of the Cruslogic corporation family, is the fastest growing mixed-skgal semiconductor company in the world.

THEo By Amy Klein Daily News Editor Chanting "fuck the code" and wav- ing banners, approximately 150 students marched from the Diag to the Fleming Administration Building, protesting the code of non-academic conduct before the April 20 Board of Regents meeting. At the conclusion of the march, in- cited studentspoured into the lobby of the Fleming Building, demanding to speak with a member of the board. Theregentswerescheduledtovotethe following day on adopting a permanent version of the Statementof Student Rights and Responsibilities, the University'scode of non-academic conduct. Students Against the Code, a coali- tion of several student groups on cam- pus, organized the rally on the Diag at noon. Jonathan Rose, an Ann Arbor Ten- ants' Union attorney, spoke at the rally, denouncing the "evil" of the code. "(The code) tempts a paternalistic hand. A cursory reading reveals a friendly face, but a closer one reveals a malignant one," Rose said. Immediately following the rally, th protesters marched through campus moving from the Diag down North Uni versity, and then walking back towar' campus on South University. Police cars and sirens followed marchers, keeping them on the sidewalk Many who attended said they wer excitedwiththe surgeofstudentactivisr "Students are beginning to show bit of a backbone after not doing any thing for a long time," said Vince Keenan, the former chair of the Michi gan Student Assembly Students' Right Commission. Outside the Fleming Building, sL. dents voiced their objections to the cent code amendments, claiming the pro posed changes would not provide du process and infringed on student rights. "Suddenly you can'tbe doing any o the things you want to be doing anymore It's very scary when your civil right start getting taken away," said Danie Abrams, an LSA senior.
