By BARBARA KERR
Hurricane News Editor
Dr. Nancy Clasby, UM assistant professor in the English Department has been reinstated after her dismissal last year under an UM antinepotism rule.
According to Dr. Clasby, the nepotism policy which states that relatives of UM faculty who are employed within the same department could not be hired, was tightened to state that relatives could not be employed, thus leaving a loophole through which faculty could be fired.
In the spring of 1971, Dr. Clasbv’s non-tenure producing “term appointment” contract was not renewed. Dr. Casby, whose husband Dr. Eugene Clasby also teaches in the English Department, stated at that time, that the type of contract was usually reserved for visiting instruc-

Dr. Saltzman: Disenchanted
By DEBBIE SAMUELSON
Hurricane New« Editor
Dr. David Saltzman, associate professor of physical science has resigned from the UM faculty because of his disenchantment with the university.
“My resignation comes as a result of my disenchantment with the educational process at UM. My colleagues and chairman in the Physics department have encouraged me, and have sought to have me reconsider. In all good faith I cannot,” Saltzman said.
Saltzman said he saw the university leaning more and more towards training students rather than educating them, and said that UM is in the midst of great changes.
“I was there to witness the demise of University College, and with it, what I envisioned to be a great opportunity for real interdisciplinary education. We in the Physical Science division continued our attempt to educate rather than to

New Leadership Program Receives $22,000 Grant
This fail students graduating in January ‘73 and all freshmen were given first day registration. Formerly assignments were given on the basis of earned credits, with those students with the most credits registering on the first day. Freshmen were split alphabetically between the second and third days.
G. W. Smith, UM Registrar, said this change was recommended because freshmen needed more time for counseling, and the regis-

The Leadership Training Program, a project designed to train 180 selected freshmen and sophomore students in leadership ability, will hold interviews for interested students on Sept. 20, 21, and 27.
Funded by an anonymous $22,000 grant, the program will get underway this semester under auspices of the office of Dean of Students headed by Dr. Nicholas Gen-net.
A student who is selected for the program will be awarded a scholarship in the program and will travel to Remuda Ranch, east of Naples, with 15 other students for training in leadership skills and techniques.
The sessions will be held on week-ends and October 5 is the first conference.
The scholarships will cover the full cost of the instruction, room, and board.
“We're looking for people who have a genuine interest in the program, and have qualities that would be effective in the training process,” Mrs. Marjorie Abrams, co-ordinator of the program said
Following the training sessions, Bruce Morris, a graduate assistant will guide the students in gaining experience in leadership through internships with various on and off-campus organizations.
Interested students may in applications and infor-

mation brochures at all residence halls desks and at the Student Union Information Desk.
Applications should be returned to Mrs. Abrams’ office in Building 21F. and appointments for interviews with the program’s Screening Committee wll be arranged.
The Selection Committee for the Leadership Training Program consists of Dr. John Croghan, assistant professor of education, Dr. Nicholas Gennet, dean of students, Mrs. Abrams, and four students; Steve Schifrin, Susan Grey, l.averne Ragster, and Chris Migliaccio.
Six students will come for an Interview at a time, and will he observed by the selection committee in a “task” situation, after interviewed individually.
A highly participative method of training, situations will be set up to be analyzed by the students.
“The purpose of the program is not only to help individuals, but student organizations also. We’re aware that the organizations need help," said Dr. Gennet, dean of students.
“In assigning random appointment times to sophomores, juniors, and to seniors who are not graduating, we also keep a mixture of 3 different levels of students for 3 days, which should prevent certain courses and sections from closing early,” Smith said.
Smith said the new system will avoid requests for certain courses all coming at the same time which was the pattern under the old system.
“Since someone has to go last, the new ‘lottery system’ of random sequence gives everyone better odds for an earlier registration time and, when it is really

The Open Door, the student operated crisis center, begins a new year of operation with a series of long-awaited improvements.
Offering students with problems everything from a sympathetic car to a complete referral service for a variety of problems ranging from draft counselling and legal aid to personal counselling, the Open Door will be open to UM students tonight, Saturday, and Sunday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Beginning Monday, September 18, the Open Door will resume operation on its regular hours of 6 p.m. to 2 a m., again at its Apartment 49-K location, between Eaton Hall and the 1968 Complex.
After three years of existence on a shoestring budget with meager facilities, the Open Door has begun to take on a much more comfortable atmosphere with the addition of new furnishings, a new coat of paint, and plants and prints to

brighten the decor.
The improvements have come about as the result of the passage this spring of an allocation of approximately $1700 from the student activity fee.
Although a large number of Open Door volunteer workers are returning this year, Open Door advisor Barry Zwibel-man and graduate coordinator Mary Rosen have indicated that Open Door will he seeking out more students to carry on , the work of the student project.
"Concern about other people is the most important quality in a volunteer."
Rosen said. “Although it helps if new volunteers have had some sort of previous experience, it’s not at all necessary."

was caught stealing a 29 cent pen from the bookstore. This time, he was turned over to the UM’s major disciplinary department and given probation.
When a student breaks an in-house law, such as stealing from the booksotre, he has the right to get a law student to defend him, or ha may hire an attorney.
If he chooses the latter, Leonard Klatt, the UM legal officer will prosecute.
“It’s a very fair system," Klatt said, “it’s one of the most progressive systems I’ve seen on any campus. When I was a student at Wayne State, they’d take you directly to the dean and he’d handle you.”
Klatt is employed by UM on a full-time basis to head the major disciplinary department. which is an office of the Student Personal Services and liaison between the university and the parents of students involved in disciplinary proceedings.
He will also serve as assistant student personnel dean and counselor to students.
Last year, there were about 50 crim^.« which were

A full hearing will include an attorney for the defense (either a private lawyer or a law student), an attorney for the prosecution (cither the UM’s legal officer nr a law student) and a judge-jury which consists of one student, a faculty member and a law professor.
If a student is found guilty, action taken can be anything from a warning to expulsion.

If you are a first semester senior and were assigned third day registration it wasn’t a mistake. This fall registration appointments were assigned on a random basis for all but graduating seniors and freshmen.
