Wojciech Jaruzelski announced last night. Jaruzelski, the premier, Communist Party chief and head of the martial law council, said in a nationally televised speech ,that his regime hopes to end military Ole "in the reasonably near future." Jaruzelski spoke on the eve of the fiat anniversary of the day he proclaimed martial law to begin the destruction of the independent labor union Solidarity. The union was outlawed on Oct. 13, and last month the government concluded it was no longer a threat when , underground leaders were unable to rally a nationwide protest strike. Jaruzelski said the 21-man Council of National Redemption "is of the opinion that conditions have arisen for suspending martial law . . . The suspension of martial law means that its basic rigors will cease to function before the end of this year." The Sejm, Poland's parliament, meets today to take the legislative action necessary to put the Hallelujah! The Folk Chorus participates in a celebration of the Gaudete held in Rec Hall this weekend.

Council establishes grievance committee By WILLIAM SCOTT Collegian Staff Writer The Calendar Conversion Council on Friday unanimously approved the need for a grievance committee to hear student academic complaints during the transition to semesters. However, it offered an alternative proposal to the plan submitted last month by Jane E. , McCormick, the assistant to the vice president of student affairs. The alternative proposal would make the grievance board a standing committee of the Calendar Conversion Council. According to the council's proposal, the committee would be established in February 1983 and serve through September 1984, coinciding with the termination of the conversion council. The committee would become involved in a student grievance only after it has been reviewed by the college, and has received the recommendation of the dean of the college. If the committee disagrees with the dean's recommendation, the complaint will again be reviewed by the dean. If the dean's recommendation is still contrary to the committee's report, the grievance would then be forwarded to the provost. N i . N2MWMW6 , , a ta .

"Not a single limitation more than is absolutely necessary should be kept up, nor a single less," the general said. "This will be a weighty step toward complete lifting of martial law. We would like to realize this intention in the reasonably near future. "It is simply impossible to jump into full normalization. One must move towards it step by step, consistently, by a common effort." He added that martial law would have been suspended sooner if the Solidarity underground had not organized disturbances. The most stringent aspects of martial law were lifted earlier this year, including a nightly curfew, severance of all long-distance telephone communications, a ban on travel within the country, and censorship of Western news reporting from Poland. A ban on public gatherings remains, and other long-range controls have been implemented. Jaruzelski said the military council will remain in place for the time being, "but the scope of the armed forces'. presence in the life of the country will change." Military commissars stationed in major economic enterprises will be decreased, remaining ."only in key sectors of state and economic life. As normalization progresses, their The committee, which may be called the Calendar Transition Grievance Committee, would consist of five to seven members with a minimum of three alternates. The members of the committee would not be limited to members of the conversion council, but further details have not yet been finalized as to how committee members would be chosen. The council is expected to discuss the proposal further at its next meeting in February. Although the council favored the formation of the committee, most members agreed that it will not hear many grievances. "This is partially a symbolic effort to show that there is clearly a mechanism if the case should arise," James R. Dungan, secretary of the council, said. "I'd bet my money that not more than 25 cases will be heard." James B. Bartoo, the council's chairman, said similar types of appeals will be built into some of the individual colleges, eliminating the need for the committee to hear all grievances. Robert E. Dunham, vice president of undergraduate studies, told the council it may be creating needless work. "I'm not opposed to the idea, but on the other side, I hate to create more bureaucracy when we activity will be further reduced." "Only regulations that directly protect the fundamental interests of the state, creating a protective shield for the economy and ensuring the greater personal safety of citizens, should remain in force wholly or in part as a temporary measure," he said. "The national economy ... needs - tpecial protection, and the public wants the fight against crime to be stepped up." "Anarchy will not be tolerated," he warned. "No one in Poland or abroad should labor under any illusion that the current decisions mill allow a further round." Deriding U.S. sanctions and criticism, he said: "We have survived the boycott, restrictions, and the barrage of instigatory propaganda. The government of the United States and some of its customers can see for themselves the bankruptcy of attempts to interfere in Poland's internal affairs." Referring to President Reagan's offer Friday to relax the U.S. sanctions if there were "genuine, liberalizing actions" in Poland, Jaruzelski said it was the "voice of the uninvited, foreign commentator . . . but we shall not leave our chosen path.". In Washington, the'White House said it was studying the speech and was "consulting with allies." already have it in place," Dunham said. In other business, James R. Dungan said the next newsletter published by the Calendar Conversion Council should be available to students sometime in January. The newsletter was to have been available at the beginning of this term, but was delayed because the information concerning Summer Session courses was incomplete. Also at the meeting: • Carol A. Cartwright, associate dean for academic affairs, said the deadline for applications for Summer Session director is Dec. 22. Neither Cartwright, the chairman of the search committee, nor committee member Dungan would disclose the number of applications received so far. Effective summer 1984, the director will be responsible for the overall success of the Summer Session. • Robert E. Dunham said the registrar's office is tallying about 1,000 student responses to the listing of possible course offerings during the 1983 Summer Term. In an attempt to match summer course offerings with course demand, students had the opportunity during Winter Term registration to list the courses they need to take during the last Summer Term.
