Blustein, who was ordered to withdraw for one year, was found guilty of violating the Resolution on Rights and Responsibilities by participating in a six-hour occupation of the Government Department's offices in the Littauer Center on May 10.

The CRR explained the harshness of the decision against Blustein was because of her prior disciplinary record.

Heimert Studies Grads

The graduate students took vacations from their research, teaching and protest this summer, but the University didn't forget them or the controversy they stirred last Spring over Staff Teaching Scholarships.

A six-member task force of professors, headed by Alan E. Heimert '49, Cabot Professor of American Literature, early in August began a re-examination of the role of teaching during graduate study.

Heimert said the committee would study the relationship between reaching and doctoral work "to find a sound educational basis for the use of teaching fellows:" A separate committee was established later in the month to examine the financial issues.

His task force will send its report to a larger investigating commission to be established this Fall. The Fall commission was mandated by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences last Spring after the Graduate Student--Teaching Fellow Union protest.

Although the Fall commission will include graduate students, the summer task forces did not. "I guess the administration has decided it can afford to do this work without us," commented Dov Ospovat, a member of the Steering committee of the' Union.

But Barbara Herman, another, Steering Committee member, said she doubted that union members would have worked with the task force even if asked.

"That's not the relationship we were interested in--gathering information for someone else's investigation," she said. "The object was to start fresh with the graduate students and find out what the problems are."

Popkin Still Waiting

The case of Samuel L. Popkin, assistant professor of Government, continued to drag on this summer, and looked no closer to conclusion in September than it did at school's closing last June.

Popkin is appealing a contempt of court citation for refusing to answer certain questions before a Boston Federal Grand Jury investigating the Pentagon Papers case.

The bulk of the summer's case revolved around a request by Popkin's attorneys that the Justice Department officially disclose the details of any wiretapping or electronic surveillance of Popkin.

The Justice Department has yet to respond to a court order requiring it to produce evidence that it has not tapped Popkin's telephone.
