Talks on Pueblo Crisis
By The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. -The
Security Council has moved into
a weekend of intensive private
talks on the seizure of the USS
Pueblo, after hearing an Ethiop-
ian suggestion that North Korea
be invited to tell her side of the
range for an intermediary to "ex-
ercise good offices" between the
United States and North Korea.

Threatening War
Communist China accused the

The first Chinese comment on
North Korea's capture of the Am-
erican intelligence ship last Tues-
day came in a broadcast by Pek-
ing Radio based on an official
New China News Agency report.
The Chinese previously had dis-
tributed North Korean reports of
the incident without adding any
comments.
An unofficial translation of the
Chinese statement said that, after
the vessel's capture, the United
States "presented the North Kor-
ean people with extremely open
threats of war by raising the cries
for war like a madman and de-
ploying its armed forces."

Realtors Continue To Refuse Lease;
Protests Scheduled for Entire Week
By ROB BEATTIE
Students began picketing of the offices of Apartments
Limited yesterday in rrotest of the firm's refusal to accept
the University's eighxt month lease. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
a steady stream of student pickets paraded in front of the
office.
The action was part of boycott by the Student Housing
Association and Student Rental Union (SHA-SRU). Hand-
bills were distributea urging students to wait until land-
lords accept the Univ-rsity-approved eight-month lease be-
fore renting apartme its for next fall.
"I was very pleased with the turnout and enthusiam of
students who joined in tahe picketing," Mike Koeneke, '69
Bus. Ad., chairman of SHA,.
commented. "Students are be-
ginning to realize what we
are doing and how important

immature, focusing on the most
nearby evil that one can get his
hanegs on," Cutler said. "We (the'
administration) are playing a very
long-run game," he continued,
"and they (the student activists)
are playing a very short run
game."
"A real impact from the studentJ
body will never be felt unless it
manages to influence the faculty,"
he added, "and it has neither the
time nor the numbers to do this."
'Personal Sacrifices'
"The concept of a great Univer-
sity must be attached to that of a
free University," Cutler said. "I
am willing to pay the personal
and administrative sacrifices in-
cumbent in having 75 very diffi-
cult individuals on this campus in
order to have a great university,"
he continued.
Cutler attributed the presence of
student activists on the University
campus to several factors. "Activ-.
fists tend to like to go to large,
good, free universities," he said.
Challenging attitudes are encour-
aged in the classroom and natural-
ly will continue outside as well, he
explained.
Hierarchical Relationships
The campus is "cosmopolitan"
and has a large proportion of
graduate students which contri-
butes to rejection of arbitrary re-
strictions, Cutler said.
Cutler discussed the generation
gap comparing the schism raised
under the "radically different,
t stresses" of the '50's to the genera-
ocracy. I'm paid to be here, and
Bruce Kahn has to pay," Cutler
noted. He explained that hier-
archical relationships are implicit
in the university situation where
students are learning under pro-
fessors.
However, he added that "dem-
ocratic processes are used in many
ways," these processes are often
"long, tedious, imperfect, make a
lot of mistakes-but eventually get
there."

APARTMENTS LIMITED personnel had few customers yesterday as students declined to cross a

Prof. James Meisel, of the po-
litical science department, de-
scribes his seminar class as "the
most exhilarating experience of
my whole career. Each week we
examined and discussed ideas,
and the students learned how to
read, think and express them-
selves."
"My system was to leave the
book selections up to the stu-
dents-I didn't impose any re-
quirements on them," says Prof.
Marston Bates of the zoology de-
partment. "But I don't know if
this is the proper educational ex-
perience or hot-we wandered all
over the place. Our immediate
evaluation is whether the stu-
dents enjoyed it or not-that's
important."
Prof. Irving Copi of the phi-
losophy department, also a fresh-
man seminar instructor last se-
mester, raises serious doubts
about the college's grading sys-
tem.
Copi also questions the advan-
tage to the student of the sys-
tem employed. "As an admissions
officer in the graduate school I
can say that I won't go to the
trouble of reading evaluations for
400 students when we can only
pick 20 or 25." he explains, add-
ing that "I think it's a joke to
say anyone pays any attention
to the evaluations. I recommend
to Dean Robertson that this
method be dropped."

the hardest fought, most tens-

Deep into the waning minutes
of the game Michigan had Ohio

poor foul shooting, a clutch per-

Jody Finney, and a technical
foul at the most crucial of times,
sent the Wolverines reeling to

play their hearts out to win this
one.
It was that kind of a game
with the victors feeling lucky
to come out alive and the van-
quished - well - asking them-
selves what might have been.
A defected Dave Strack put
it this way: "Well, of course it
was a tough game to lose, one
:f the toughest we've ever play-
ed. We played so hard and so
long only to lose it. I don't know
what to say except that I am
in despair over what happened
out there."
Strack is right about playing
a long game. By all rules of
logic he never will play one as
long again. Most basketball
games take an hour and a half
from start to finish, this one

statistics it is listed that way

Technical number two no one
is sure about. Best guess is that
someone, somewhere, said some-

Technical number three was,

"It's too stiff and harsh a
