Among the objections present- ed were the financial need of wo- men presently living in Oxford as well as the lack of similar low cost housing for next year if the two co-ops are converted. After listening to the argu- ments, Feldkamp explained that according to his statistics only 14 out of a possible 120 girls re- turned to Oxford Housing from last year, well below the average 33 per cent return rate in other; 'U' housing. "With the evidence we have, Oxford is not in de- mand," Feldkamp told the group. Several Oxford representatives, however, pointed out that the 14, girls who were listed as returnees only included those girls who re- turned to the same house. They explained several other girls re- turned to different co-ops still within the Oxford complex but* were not included in the list. Feldkamp said that the two sororities, Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta, want the, benefits of living in a "sorority" ' atmosphere. At present they do not have sorority houses, and ac- cording to Panhel officials. have been hampered in conducting normal sorority functions like Camnpus Hiousing today. The GA resolution commits the assembly to "support and lend all possible co-operation to SHA! and SRU" in their proposed boy-4 'Cott. Apartments Limited was named in the resolution as having "ac- cumulated the largestnumber of complaints relating to return of damage deposits, maintenance, re- pair, cleaning bills, etc. with the SRU complaint service."

"I think for the first time we have confronted an issue vital to the continued existence of the sorority system." "Discrimination is one of -the most pressing issues facing so- ciety today and I am pleased that the Michigan sorority women have begun to confront them- selves with meaningful issues of far-reaching importance," said Joan Ringel, Panhellenic advisor. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Gamma Phi Beta and Zeta Tau Alpha voted against the anti - discrimination resolution. Three sorority houses abstained in the voting.

Pueblo Incident By JILL CRABTREE and JIM NEUBACHER Governor George Romney yesterday recommended to the state Legislature an appropriation of $64.7 million for the University's 1968-69 gneral fund budget, as part of an over-all state budget of $1.3 billion. The Governor's recommendation represents a 9.4 per cent increase over the 1967-68 University appropriation, the lowest percentage increase recommended for any state col- lege or university. The recommendation is $11 million below the $75.8 mil- lion requested by the University in October. Romney also recommended a $7.4 million appropriation for University construction. The University had requested $18 million. The University received $59.1 million last year after Romney recommended $362.4 million forcing substantial tuition hikes. Lansing sour- ces indicate the Governor's $64.7 million recommendation will be a top figure for this year's appropriation. University President Robben W. Fleming said yesterday he was "disappointed" in the Governor's recommendation. He said the Uni- versity's estimated needs would require a budget increase of $8 million rather than the proposed $.5.5 million figure.

He is now a doctoral candidate in the school of education. Sabadash indicated that he had not expected to be elected president. "At least it started some discussion," he commented. "Competition is healthy." start working on the rents." SHA is a standing committee of Student Government Council. SRU is a subcommittee of SHA. It is expected that some action on the proposed boycott will be taken at SGC's regular meeting tonight. The new University lease may be used for either eight-month or twelve-month contracts. It pro-I vides specific protection for the student in the areas of damage deposit returns and condition of premises, and allows him to can- cel for reasons of health by for- feiting one month's rent. By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Dean Rusk said yesterday the North Korean seizure of the Navy intelligence ship Pueblo could be described as "an act of war." Rusk advised the North Koreans to "cool it" and said they would be "well advised to pull back here.' The nuclear powered aircraft carrier Enterprise and three es- corts were reported taking posi- tion in the Sea of Japan. South Korean sources in Seoul said the 75,000 ton carrier and its escorts would take station 12 miles off Wonsan Bay to await develop- ments.

These funds, com- bined with restricted funds and general fund special_ purpose money, would add up to a total state operating budget of $2.73 billion. In reaction to Detroit's recent riots, the, proposed budget in- cludes a request to double the State Civil Rights Commission's present $1.4 million appropriation and sets aside an additional $5.5 million toward maintenance of law and order. This includes a 23 per cent hike in the State Po- lice budget to allow for the ad- dition of 20 detectives and 225 troopers, new communications equipment and more training. "This administration is pledged to take such steps as are neces- sary toncurbvviolence in our streets and reverse a mounting disrespect for law and order," Romney said in introducing the requests. The proposed appropriation for the University is part of a total budget of $299 million recom- mended by the Governor for op- eration of the state's 11 degree- granting universities and colleges. aRomney recommended an ap- propriation of $62.3 million for Michigan State University, $8 million less than the $70.3 mil- lion requested. Wayne State Uni- versity received a recommenda- tion of $38.7 million as compared a $44.6 million requested. Capital outlay appropriations recommended by Romney for all of Michigan's state-supported universities and colleges totaled $56 million. The Governor's budget request will now be considered by the Senate Appropriations Commit- tee.

He said without elaboratinig that information on the North Korean radar track came from intelligence sources. Goulding said the Pueblo was under orders to stay at least 13 miles from North Korean territoryI and "there is no evidence to sug- gest that these orders were dis- obeyed." North Korea's claim that thej Pueblo's captain. Lloyd Bucher,; had confesssed to a deep intrusion into North Korean waters was de- scribed by Goulding as "a travesty on the facts." North Korea broadcast yesterday "a confession" from the captain of the Pueblo, quoting him as saying he was spying for the Cen- tral Intelligence Agency and was deep inside North Korean's ter- ritorial waters when his ship was captured. i Bucher was reported to have ordered his ship's highly sophisti- cated electronic gear destroyed, along with secret codes, when the North Koreans boarded his ship.

W/P) - The Oregon Supreme Court yesterday unani- mously affirmed the contempt of court conviction of Annette Bu- chanan, formerU niversity of Oregon student editor. Miss Buchanan was fined $300 for refusing to disclose the names of seven students who gave her a story about use of marijuana on the campus, Miss Buchanan, now Mrs. Mi- chael Conard, argued that the constitutional provision for a free press gave her the right to with- hold the identity of confidential news sources. The Daily Emerald printed a story by Mrs. Conard of a pot party held on the Oregon campus in May, 1966. Former Dist. Atty. William F. Frye then subpoenaed Mrs. Conard into court. When she refused to name the students who had attended the party, Judge John B. Leavy of Lane County fined her $300. Mrs. Conard's attorney, Arthur Johnson, told The Daily that Mrs, Conard's chances in the Supreme Court "could be very good." The Oregon court decision, by Justice A. T. Goodwin, said, "We hold merely that nothing in the state or federal constitution compels the courts, in the ab- sence of a statute, to recognize such a privilege.' The American Society of News- paper Editors, Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association and Sig- ma Delta Chi, professional jour- nalism society, appeared in her behalf. Mrs. Conard, then managing editor of the University of Ore- eann nDail Emeralmp nihedh her By AVIVA KEMPNER and HENRY GRIX Introduced as a "voice for black unity" Detroit's controversial clergyman, Rev. Albert Cleage, last night outlined the ra- tionale and movement of black national- ism in America's cities. "I don't have to advocate separatism," Cleage claimed, "because it is built into the fabric of American society. I just want to utilize separation for our benefit rather than continue to let it be used for our exploitation." Cleage, the head of the Federation for Self-Determination which was established which is necessary for self-determina- tion, poses no threat except in the minds of white people, according to Cleage. Whites fear it because "black power would require giving up of the white power exercised so ruthlessly in black communities" said the man who recently rejected a $100,000 Ford Foundation ur- ban re-development grant because it had "strings attached." Integration proved to be only an "im- possible dream" explained Cleage. "Martin Luther King's march in Cicero made blacks realize that northern whites were worse than southern ones." existed. We have decided to be free and will use any means necessary." To Cleage the strength of the black community lies in the self-consciousness that "black is beautiful." This aware- ness will allow blacks to "stop feeling ashamed," and to discover their own past. ; "This self-consciousness brings a sense of pride," Cleage said, which will per- mit "blacks to see through the vast tis- sues of lies fabricated by the white man. "The establishment of black student organizations on college campuses is a big step in the building of the black cal-imnna " rClen e, arted. Fleming explained yesterdayj that although the Governor's recommended budget is small, it is considerably better than last year, which was disastrous." "While we have not had time to analyze the Governor's mes- sage, we note that the increases are said to provide funds for ad- ditional faculty and other staff for added enrollment, for salary increases equal to those given to Civil Service employes, to meet inflationary price increases, and to provide for new building main- tenance, and selected improve- ments in library, computer zerv- ices and other programs," he said.
