UBS To Escalate Course Demands

“UBS’s policy will be one of escalation," said UBS president Harold Long In a speech before UM’s Students g tor a Democratic Society Wednesday night.
"No one knows who in the administration has the scissors to cut the red tape, but they find them when the p protest gei > hot." Long commented.
UBS will make no new demands this year, said Long. “We’re still working on the old ones.” The administration had promised that g the black-oriented courses UBS demanded would be Instituted and described in the 1969 1970 Bulletin, Long aaid.
They reaffirmed this promise at a breakfast meeting Oct. 3, “and now they’re
*	saying that they were talking about the class schedules. Any idiot knows there are no otass descriptions In the class Schedule,’’ said Long.
Or. William R. Butler, vice president of Student Affairs,
*	ibid UBS that reprinting the
Bulletins would cost $50,000. “You don’t have to reprint the entire Bulletin to include six courses," Long stated.
Furthermore, said Long, students will not take courses that they don’t see described In the Bulletin, simply because most students will not be aware of their existance. Long feels that the administration may point to small turn-outs for the new courses as a valid excuse to discontinue them.
Dr. Lowe, Assistant Dean of Faculties, wrote a letter to Long, explaining the difficulties with the Bulletins. Long replied by throwing the letter into the fire on the patio when UBS burned the 1970 Bulletin in protest.
When asked why he did not read the letter at the UBS meeting, Long replied, “Unfortunately for Dr. Lowe, we only deal with relevant subjects at our meetings. His letter was totally irrelevant to the question.”
Long offered some advice to SDS — “You’ll hear a lot about going through proper channels — forget It, there are none.”

“The administration has repeatedly promised measures to alleviate the horrendous parking situation," said Yasser. True, they are entangled in legal proceedings over new lots, but the situation continues to worsen with students caught in the middle.
