Fleming said yesterday Student Housing Association's proposed boycott of Apartments Limited was legal under federal law. Flem- ing, a former labor mediator, said he knew of no Michigan law pro- hibiting it. Fleming, comparing the plan to unionized labor tactics, added that two factors will govern the students' success in the boycott: the extent to which students will support it, and how much mutual support city landlords will give each other. Prof. Thomas Kauper of the law school said that "off-hand" he knew of no Michigan statute Engmeers Uphold SHA Resolution The Engineering Council voted unanimously last night to en- dorse Student Housing Associa- tion-Student Rental Union in ap- plying "consumer pressure" on landlords to accept the new Uni- versity "eight month" lease. Mark Schreiber, '69 SRU chair- man, spoke to the council before they voted, and explained a plan to single out Apartments Limit- ed for a student boycott. "Ann Arbor apartment owners have constantly reaped above normal profits," said Schreiber, "and Apartments Limited is the largest and the worst of them." The resolution urged "students, faculty, and staff to lend their, support in using consumer pres- sure 'in achieving acceptance of the eight month lease." Schreiber explained that a gen- eral rent strike would be "un- feasible at this time," and that lowering rental prices could be achieved after landlords, one by one, were forced into accepting the new lease. Council member Chris Bloch, 0 '69E, at first criticized the plan for being "a broad endorsement with no strings attached . . . I don't think boycotting just one landlord will do any good." Schreiber explained, however, that Engineering Council would have two members on a committee organizing the plan, and that: competition would force other landlords into accepting the lease- after one had adopted it. Eugene A. De Fouw, '70E, trea- surer of Engineering Council, citedf problems he had had in renting from Apartments Limited for two years. i1 E 7t 3/ f l t i }} - L t {{( r t I f 1 G } i C y 7 1y.

This was shown in a transcript released by the State Department yesterday of the exchange be- tween U.S. and North Korean representatives at Panmunjom Wednesday in the wake of the Red seizure of the Navy intelli- gence vessel. In another statement, North Korea said this morning the' crewmen of the United States spy ship Pueblo "must be punished by law." It also said it is "fully pre- pared" to cope with any attack by the United States and would "deal a hundred fold, thousand fold retaliation." The statement did not indicate whether the NortheKoreans planned to put the. Pueblo crew on trial or would demand pun- ishment of them as a conditions of their release. Another American soldier was killed early yesterday by "hostile fire" during a sweep for North' Korean infiltrators, the Army re- ported.

It was necessary for all the students to enter the campus through a hole in the fence that surrounded it-a hole big enough to let the students in, but not big enough to allow any of the cows grazing on the grassy campus to get out. Today, those forty acres form the hub of a dynamic, ever-expanding campus, consisting of over 2,400 acres in the Ann Arbor area with a growth and expansion right up to 1966, has be- come an expensive process of piece by piece purchase in a cutthroat market. An interesting example of the process of land purchase by the University can be seen in the methodical manner in which the University has sought the land located at Tappan and Hill Streets, between the School of Business Admin- istration and East Quad. The University has bought each piece of land individually as it has become available, planning eventually to control the complete block. Planners have tentatively marked the aiea at ed after long deliberations and drawn-out negotiations. 'Suitable Atmosphere' "It is imperative to create a suitable atmosphere for such an open-hearted discussion between the belligerent parties and above all to save thousands of people from death and suffering while' a peaceful settlement is b e i n g sought. "We appeal to all the belligerent parties to extend indefinitely the Tet (lunar new year) cease-fire and to negotiate immediately a peaceful settlement."
