Embassy; 'U'-Legislature Relations 4" mBy MARK LEVIN C 73a,-i Special To The Daily Os e in Six-Hour Fight LANSING - President Robben W. Fleming took a major step yesterday toward improving Uni- versity-Legislature relations with a pledge to meet personally with legislators to work out the prob- lems confronting the University. "Reasonable men don't always see eye to eye," Fleming told a special joint session of the Legis- lature. "But I pledge to you that so long as I am President our dif- ferences will be discussed with re- spect and dignity, there will be no arrogance, and I shall person- ally be available to explain and, provide information you need about the hopes and aspirations of the University." However, Fleming warned the overflowing, enthusiastic audiencek in the House chamber, if Michi- gan is to maintain its record of support for higher education, ad-I ditional dollars must be forth- coming. "Those of us in universities do not live in a world isolated from society," Fleming said. "We know there are roads to be built, :m- mense welfare programs to sus- tain, urban communities to re- construct, K-12 educational pro- grams to support, serious prob- lems of water and air pollution, crime control programs and hosts of other things which would re- quire money," Fleming explained. "But we also know that if we are to do the job you should have us do, it will require additional dollars," he concluded. Fleming promised the legisla- tors that if they ask for more funds the University would help t in convincing the citizens of the state that the cause of highern education is worthy of additionalr support. Fleming cautioned legislators2 about reducing the number ofc out-of-state students "who enjvy the privilege of an educational See FLEMING, Page 10 Aso M01111t Attacks Oil Citles 'Airports Urban Area Attacks Seen as Ploy; Expect Major Offensive iII North SAIGON K? - A Viet Cong unit seized and held parts of the U.S. Embassy in the heart of Saigon for six hours Wed- nesday before being wipeo out by American forces. Paratroopers swarmed out of helicopters landing on the roof of the eight story building to battle the invaders and lift the siege. All the Vit Cong intruders died in the embassy battle, climaxing a series of guerrilla assaults and shellings in Sai- gon that brought limiteo warfare deep into the South Viet- namese capital Simultaneous with the strikes against Saigon, for the second straight day the Viet Cong attacked cities up and down the country in an un---_.

Westmoreland said one U.S. Marine was killed and five were wounded, and that seven U.S. By DAN SHARE A proposal currently before the State Senate Education Commit- tee would provide for the estab- lishment of a "higher education building council" which would control acquisition of land, con- struction of buildings and issu- ance of bonds to finance all Uni- versity buildings, including proj- ects that are currently self-liqui- dating. Senate Bill 387 sets up the Higher Education Building Coun- cil to maintain legislative control of constructions The bill, if passed, would also change the method of financing higher edu- cation construction from appro- priation to bonding. The legislative control of con- struction is made clear in two sections. Section 11 states that no institution shall receive any con- struction funds until it pledges not to engage itself in any self- liquidating housing projects. All University dormitories are cur- rently self-liquidating. Section 13 states that no uni- versity shall undertake any self- liquidating academic or Dousing construction. This section is un- enforceable except by further' restrictions on appropriations. "The full faith and credit of the. state" is pledged to repay the .h .s a~xr - - -.v " ..-w 1^ i f Pln present laws.

Founded by Dewitt Baldwin, retiring director of the Office of Religious Affairs, the pro- gram aims to impart "world perspectives in intercultural relations." With programs in the Soviet Union, Puerto Rico, Colombia. and the United States as well as Denmark, the program works to have its students :?':'aran savnprianrt- in an in- ters Interculture grow out of its isolationism, and when this happened it would need responsible lead- ers capable of interacting knowledgeably with the other cultures of the world. First Program With this thought in mind, the Baldwins held their first eight week program at Lisle. N.Y., with 27 students repre- senting 12 different nations. Since then the program has expanded into different areas of the world, and has included participants from 80 countries. The basic form of the pro- gram has remained the same, with an average of about 20 stue1nts in each nroaranm tion period, reporting their ex- periences to the rest of the group. New teams are formed and different projects are as: signed for the next field as- signments. The last evaluation session is devoted to a review of the total accomplishments and plans for future improvement. Mark Schreiber, '69, who spent last summer in Denmark, called his Lisle Fellowship work "a most exciting and re- warding experience." After leaving Denmark, he spent two weeks in Czechoslovakia with a friend from the program. Political System Schreihr added "I am now last night joined several other campus organizations, including Graduate Assembly, Engineering Council, Young Dems, Young Re-, publicans and Inter-House As- sembly in supporting the eight- month lease. The Voice resolution, the same as the one passed by Student Government Council last week, is aimed at Apartments Limited, the largest campus area rental firm (550 units). Apartments Limited has thus far refused to accept the Univer- sity's eight-month lease, and, the resolution states, "has accumulat- ed the largest number of com- plaints relating to return of dam- age deposits, maintenance, repair, and cleaning bills." Mark Schreiber, '69. chairman of the Student Rental Union (SRU). a subcommittee of SHA, spoke to Voice prior to the vote. "Few other schools have 12-month leases." Schreiber said. "There is no such thing as a 1967 lease." Koeneke said. "The Univer- sity Off-Campus Housing office of- fers only one University-approved lease and that is the new one. The 1967 lease can be used this year as a private lease. President Fleming1 Viet Monk To D eliver Peace Talk By DAVID KNOKE A Vietnamese Buddhist monk who has been forbidden to return home by the Saigon government because of his peace activities is paying a two-day visit to the Uni- versity as part of a nation-wide tour. Thich Nhat Hanh will deliver an address tonight at 8:30 p.m. in Rackham Lecture Hall, co- sponsored by the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies and the Office of Religious Affairs. Tomorrow he will speak at an informal noon luncheon at Can- terbury House. That evening he will meet in the fifth floor lec- ture hall of the Medical Sciences Bldg., with medical students to discuss the Vietnam war. Peace Prize Nominee Nhat Hanh, a poet and author who has published ten books, was nominated by Rev. Martin Luth- er King for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize. His recent book, "Vietnam: 'Lo- tus in a Sea of Fire," was banned by the Saigon government but over 100,000 copies have been smuggled in and secretly circu- lated.
