In a meeting with leaders of Student Housing Association and Student Rental Union, Richard Barnhill, spokesman for Apartments Limited said his firm would not use the new University rental agreement which would exempt students from subletting their apart- ments in the summer. Spokesmen for SHA-SRU confirmed last night a "campaign for acceptance of the eight-month lease" was in planning. The student leaders said the boycott would be initiated against Apartments Limited or Campus Management, another local rental firm, if they don't accept the eight-month lease. Barnhill said last night he ! knew of no boycott. He added A i fa- hich chine guns, was captured without it firing a shot. Sen. J. W. Fulbright, (D-Ark.), Craig Sees Explosions' In China, American City By MIKE THORYN The spectre of race riots in American cities and nuclear q bombing in China were highlight- ed in a speech by state Senator Roger Craig, (D-Dearborn) to an open meeting of the Young Dem- ocrats last night. "The central city is going to explode and the state legislature is talking about open-housing," '~ Craig said to a sparse but en- thusiastic audience. Craig does not think open-housing will pass. 'jIf you are going to destroy the Negro community, it will cost Thai? Project Cancelled At Cornell Cornell University's board of trustees has voted to eliminate all ties with the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory which helps to design counterinsurgency programs in Thailand. The Cornell Lab performs sim- ilar function to the University's Defense Department supported Willow Run Laboratories. The trustees acted on a recom- mendation of a committee that the association be discontinued. The committee gave three rea- sons: the lack of significant p educational and research inter- action between the university and the laboratory, the need to pro- vide the laboratory with an ef- fective independent board of dir- ectors, and the overlap and po- tential conflict betWeeh the labor- atory's increasing overseas re- search projects and the univer- sity's expanding program of in- ternational studies. The, committee said that "in- ternational scholars can only work effectively if it is clear to everyone, and most particularly to the people in the countries in- volved, that their goal is pure scholarship. Hence, a defense- orientated laboratory applied re- search program operated under Cornell's name constitutes a ser- ious threat to the viability of these Cornell programs."- money," he said. "Hitler talked about Jews as vandals and he had a law a little stronger than the stop-and-frisk law we are con- sidering. Hitler had stop-and-kill. "With increased skill," Craig continued, "we can kill hundreds of Negroes. We'll win because we outnumber them 10-1. However, racial warfare would cost us our world leadership and our national prestige, "If we don't get to addressing ourselves to the problems," he said, "the country could go up like a tinderbox." "Legislators look for simple so- lutions that don't cost money," Craig said. "There are few, liber- als who work for meaningful re- form." Craig painted a dismal picture of the Vietnam conflict."I see the Cambodia border incidents leading to escalation, then an in- vasion of North Vietnam, a coun- ter-thrust by the Chinese, and finally the use of nuclear wea- pons." He called the war "immoral" but "a symptom of our times." "We don't give a damn about foreign policy because we don't see the relationship between Viet- nam and tuition rates at the Uni- versity of Michigan." "We talk about making the world safe for democracy," Craig said. "But we support dictators in Portugal and Spain and today we recognized the junta in Greece." Craig has been working in the legislature for liberalization of the state marijuana laws. He hopes to change language per- taining to marijuana in the Crim- inal Court Bill now being revised. "Laws should be based on fact," Craig said. "Marijuana has no business in the same law as her- oin. We have no medical testi- mony that it is ahy worse than alcohol." Craig noticed that complaints from the white middle class about stringent marijuana laws &re comparatively recent. . "There were no complaints when Puerto Ricans and Negro jazzmen were thrown in jail." Joking about his possible mari- juana law before ' the speech, Craig said, "My bill wouldn't le- galize marijuana. It would make it mandatory." The Defense Department said the Pueblo, armed with two ma- chine guns, reported "she had not used any weapons" before be- coming the first U.S. naval ves- sel to surrender at sea since the Civil War. Secretary of State Dean Rusk termed the North Korean action a matter of "utmost gravity." Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said it seemed to be "a .clear violation of international law." 'Spy Ship' The Pentagon's description of the Pueblo as an "intelligence col- lection auxiliary ship" is a eup- hemism for spy ship - a term used by the North Korean radio in accusing the Pueblo of viola- ting North Korean waters to car- ry out hostile activities. The mission of an intelligence collection ship is to listen in on radio messages and detect radar positions - a mission which is generally not acknowledge by U.S. authorities. The Pueblo is the second such ship to get into trouble within a year. The 11,000 ton Liberty was shot up by Israeli planes and torpedo boats about 15 miles of Egypt's Sinai peninsula June 8, losing 34 of her 297 man crew. Pueblo Surrounded According to the Pentagon announcement, the Pueblo "was surrounded by North Korean pa- trol boats and boarded by an arm- ed party in international waters in the sea of Japan." It said the U.S. government "acted immediately to establish contact with North Korea through the Soviet Union." This country has no diplomatic representation in North Korea, although it does deal with North Korea, represen- tatives at Panmunjom in South Korea from time to time. President Johnson was awak- ened at 2 a.m. and told about the Pueblo's seizure. He discussed the situation at breakfast with Democratic congressional leaders. Korean Accusations At the State Department, press officer Robert J. McCloskey told newsmen he was "saying cate- gorically that the ship was out- side the 12 mile limit which North Korea claims as its territorial waters. McCloskey denied the Pueblo was acting in a provocative man- ner, as charged by the North Koreans. He said no deadline had been set for a reply to this country's reouest throug h the Soviets that the vcssel and crew be released. "But the sooner the better," he said. -Associated Press THE U.S.S. PUEBLO, a U.S. Navy intelligence ship, was successfully boarded and captured by North Korean sailors about 25 miles off the North Korean coast on Monday night, despite her calls for help. The ship with a crew of 83 men, was taken to Wonsan, North Korea. TIGHTER CONTROLS: Groups Investigate Privacy that "if legal action is warrant- ed," it could be 'expected.

Last spring a committee com- posed of James Lawler, assistant director of Student Organizations, and two students compiled a doc- ument which would have defined the position of the University with respect to student records. Student Government Council and Graduate Assembly, however, refused to accept the "Lawler Re- port" largely because it gave wide' discretionary powers to the Vice- President for Student Affairs. This action left a vacuum which several University groups, have begun to fill: ® The Civil Liberties Board of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs has under- taken to establish certain criteria for the nature and use of student and faculty records. * SGC and GA have estab- lished a joint committee to in-. vestigate the record keeping pol- icy and over-all operation of the Bureau of Appointments and Oc- cupational Information, the Uni- versity's employment service for students and alumni. * Lawler has moved to re-acti- vate his committee for the pur- pose of reviewing last year's re-' port. The precise nature of the stu- dent's record is one of the major, considerations of the various groups undertaking the investiga- tion. At present, the "records" of a student are-scattered, seeming- ly haphazardly. around the Uni- versity. One of the major depositories for student records is the Office of Student Affairs. It was t.hrough that office that the membership lists of political organizations were available when subpoenaed by HUAC in 1966, though Lawler says that such records are now maintained only at the request of the student. Records The OSA files still provide a considerable dossier on a Univer- sity student. They contain every- thing from demographic data like' address and sex to a wide range of material including marital status, religion, aptitude test re- sults, financial records and state- ments from residence halls coun- selors. OSA is by no means the only place where student's records are maintained. There are records in' the counseling offices of the indi- vidual colleges, in the Office of Financial Aids, in the Bureau of Appointments and, in somc cases, in the individual departments. Several investigators have voiced the hope that their work would eventually lead to the consolida- tion of these records. The other problem coiecruing student records involves the ques- tion of access to them. At pres- ent, OSA will provide potential employers and other colleges and universities with much of the in- formation in their files, without notifying the student. Access to academic counseling records is reportedly a simple matter for faculty members, al- though the University will pro-E vide outside organizations with a transcript only on the request of the student. A special sub-committee of the Civil Liberties Board has met only once, but initial indications are that it will call for a tightening of controls on the dissemination' of records, as well as recommend- ing restrictions on their content. Although established in Sep- tember, the committee formed to study the Bureau of Appoint- ments was only able to begin meeting with Bureau Director Evart W. Ardis two weeks ago. The investigation of the bureau will center around two main is- ants who inspect the apartments. Spokesmen for SHA-SRU said that Apartments Limited and Campus Management are the most vulnerable firms to such a mass campaign. They explained that both firms are composed of many separate apartment owners, whose Fifty residents of the Ann Arbor Trust Co.'s apartment in the University Plaza Building presented a petition to their resident manager demanding that the apartment firm ac- cept the University's new eight- month lease. Spokesman for the group, David Deyoe, '70, said the peti- tion has now spread to neigh- boring buildings F o x c r a f t, Packard Plaza and Athena Apartments. financial operations are more -autonomus than managers be- longing to other firms. Thus, the owners would be subject to im- mediate affects and would not be able to weather an extended boy- cott. SHA-SRU hopes that if such a boycott is necessary, it will force other firms to accept the Univer- sity's new lease. SHA-SRU's action was prompt- ed by reports of the large num- ber of apartments left vacant last September, and SGC's pre- ' diction that there will be even more vacancies next year. Barnhill denied that there were vacancies. He commented, "Even if there is a problem, it is a temporary situation and should be corrected in the next two years." Student leaders base their fig- ures on the amount of students expected to be "available" for apartment living next fall, as compared to the number of sen- iors now living in apartments who will be gone next year. dents who would have to sign up for a full twelve months." The University's lease may be used for either eight-month or twelve-month contracts. The managers agreed to try to set up a meeting between-the stu- dent group and some of the apart- ment owners later this week, after SHA Chairman Michael Koeneke. '69 BusAd, pointed out that "if the students are to take any ac- tion, it will have to be very soon." Barnhill said that the decision of whether or not to offer an eight-month option had already been made by the individual apartment owners. One-fourth of Apartments Limited 550 units are offering option of leasing for eight months at 25 per cent increase. The meeting was held at the request of Koeneke and Mark Schreiber, '69, chairman of Stu- dent Rental Union. Both Schreiber and Koeneke are members of Student Govern- ment Council. SGC vice-presi- dents Michael Davis, grad., and Paul Milgrom, '70, also attended. Barnhill listed three objections to the University lease. -Parents who sign leases for their minor children would only be responsible for their child's share of the rent under the new lease. -A withdrawal clause provides that students may cancel the new lease if recommended to with- draw by University Health Serv- ice. -The new lease would allow students to cancel it at any time up to 60 days before occupancy by forfeiting one month's rent. Barnhill said that "it all comes down to what the owner sees: a financial loss." Koeneke is not satisfied with Barnhill's claim that the owners of the building make the deci- sions. He said, "it seems to me like they're just passing the buck." Ann Arbor Operations Vital To Educational Television By SHARON FITZHENRY When National Educational Te evision started out in 1953. its founders sought a location for a headquarters that would be well- suited for light manufacturing yet have an academic atmosphere. They chose Ann Arbor. In the intervening years of growth that have led to NET's status as a major force in modern television programming, the net- work found it necessary to move' its administrative and program- ming offices to New York. NET. however, has kept a major part of its operation in Ann Arbor. The fifty people on the staff of NET--Ann Arbor share their Packard Road offices with a wide conglomerate of electronic master- works.
