Senate
workshop was to organize a
multi-direction spring peace offensive in Michigan over a three-
month period.   ~
Major proposals for spring
action included activity-oriented
1970 elections, incorporating a
"peace test" for congressional
candidates, university and community "teach-ins" and protest
actions against corporations contracted for Vietnam war production.
Mass demonstrations were
suggested for the week of March
1 through 20, centered around local draft* boards. An accent on
Vietnam's impact on inflation,
high taxes and ecological decay
is hoped for the activity from,
April 15-22.
Joseph DeBott, a coordinator
of the workshop said, "We have
successfully avoided the inter-
group antagonisms that paralyze
the more revolutionary organizations. We are now able to launch
the most< powerful coalition
of anti-war actions yet seen in
Michigan."

The first meeting of the spring
session of Student Senate was
addressed by new Student Body
President, PaulJagenow, Monday
night.
In his address Jagehow
stressed the need for Senate team
effort. He said 'Student Senate
can be fun, but the fun gets carried away. Senators have been
both lax in attending meetings as
well as in representing their res .T
pective constituents, I never
really wanted to be president,
but now I'.m stuck with it so
bear with me and during the next
few weeks of transition."        <
in senate action, a resolution
by Rick Kedierski, West University senator, was passed urging dormatories to determine
through "democratic" means the
number of open houses they wish
to hold and to hold those open
houses disregarding present; University policy.
Kedzierski said, "We are mandated to survive in the interests,
of our constituents. In dealing
with open houses we have gone
through the proper channels and
we've been refused. Therefore,
. when the channels dont work we
are a mandatedtogoaroundthose
channels even;if it.means civil
disobedience."
Two students
face pot charge
Mt. Pleasant City Police, in
a  cooperative  raid  with the
State Police, arrested four persons" Monday, two of them Central
students, on narcotics charges.
Luke Roger Allison, Ann Arbor
senior and David James Rachor,
Flint junior, were arrested for
possession of marijuana when
the two agencies raided their
house at ,710 N. Main with an
arrest warrant for David Earl
Donaldson who lived with them.
Donaldson, 22, was arrested for
allegedly selling marijuana to a
state police trooper.
Linda Louise Ford, 22, of .
401E. Broadway was also arrest'
ed for possession of marijuana..
All four were arraigned Monday afternoon   before.      Judge
Douglas Dehn in the 76th District Court.    Donaldson stood
mute and a preliminary court
date  was   set for  Feb. 13.
He  failed  to post  a  $2,000
bond and was jailed.
Rachor and Allison, along with
Miss Ford, demanded preliminary examination which will be
Feb. 16.    Allison"posted his
$1,000 bond  but  Rachor and_
and Miss Ford are  still in
custody.
The body also carried a resolution sponsored by Kedzierski
whereby President William B.
Boyd would be asked to present
"the senate'' reasons why.students were not included in the
planning of the new health service." —
Kedzierski said the facility will
be financed through student fees
and in his resolution asked that
'•the Student Senate be assured
in writing, that disregard of the
student viewpoint in construction
of future university buildings
shall not occur again."
In addition the resolution
sought immediate steps to place
student representatives on the
planning board of the proposed
health service.        * --
In another proposal by
Kedzierski, senate tabled a motion to establish an advisory
board for the Health Service, as
well as to revamp the publicity
literature issued by the health
service.-
A motion to change senate policy of meeting ortce per week
to every other week was defeated on a vote of 21 to 17.
The body also tabicu a motion
to petition Michigan Governor
William Milliken to expand we
board of trustees to number ten
members with two of these seats
to be reserved for students.
Senate voted to suspend election rules in order to allow the
Feb. 19 off campus election which
will be held in the University
Center.
sized this would not have to be
an honors program.
Two student cases were cited
by Boyd which would apply to bis
proposed program. First there
is the student who has traveled
the world, has a 4.0 grade point,
possesses an extensive library,
and probably knows as much about
his major as his professors do.
The other case is the "Phantom"
student who shows _up in class
only for examination day. Each
maintains a good grade point average and reaches a high level
of work if allowed to study independently.
Major Senate action, however,
centered around the continuing
battle of a new University Senate constitution. Toe hassle
concerns adopting and forming
either a faculty senate which
would be composed entirely of
faculty; or an academic senate,
composed of the president, provost/- deans, faculty and six
students elected from Student
Senate.
However, after an hour and a
half of debate, only one motion
was passed by the Senate. Wil-
ber J. Waggoner, mathematics
department representative,
moved that it is the sense of the
Senate that the petitions are not
amendments and do not qualify
under the present constitution as
' amendments.
Dennis Thavenet, secretary,
explained that according to this
motion, there will be no further
action taken on the two petitions.
