Coaches mentioned were head football coach Bump Elliott, as- sistant football coach Tony Ma- son, former assistant coach Bob Hollway and head basketball coach Dave Strack. John D. Dewey, Big Ten Assist- ant Commissioner ahd Examiner, told The Daily that he would for consider th'e discount practice a violation of conference rules. "If they (discounts) are given only to athletes to the exclusion of other students, then they are illegal." Athletic Director H. O. (Fritzl Crisler expressed surprise when asked about the discounts yester- day, adding "I will conduct an im- mediate investigation and clamp down on anything uncoveeed." However, Crisler later admitted to The Daily that he had distrib- uted a memorandum on Wednes- day advising all coaches that The Daily was conducting an investi- gation into the discouwt.s. When asked about the discount policy, Strack said, "I didn't re- alize they were such a common practice, but I knew of course that they weren't an uncommon practice. I've never thought about their legality, and I am frankly surprised that they are considered illegal aid." Hollway categorically denied that anything illegal was going on. Elliott and Mason could not be reached for comment. Crisler said he knew Hoag had been giving tickets away, but had understood they were limited to certain Friday nights and had not received widespread distribu- tion. He indicated the practice had been well established even before he came to Michigan 30 years ago as head football coach. Hoag said he did not want to jeopardize the standing of Mich- igan in the conference. "If I'm quoted, I would go to court and Their done deny the whole thing " he said. A number of athletes inter- viewed by The Daily admitted they had taken advantage of the tickets (referred to as 'Victory Passes'). the discounts and the free merchandise. Football player Paul Johnson, '68, said the "entire football team that makes training table starts the season off by going to Tice's for $10 worth of free clothing, usually a pair of slacks."

Orangeburg police said the! shooting erupted after students set fire to grass on the campus.1 The fire occurred on a grassy slope that borders the campus alongside U.S. Route 601.s CLII Backs l Own Efforts In CG Case By LESLIE WAYNE The Faculty Civil Liberties Board (CLB) yesterday defended their efforts in helping to bring about reduced charges in the Cine- ma Guild case. A statement issued by the board said "in light of the vigor with which the prosecutor pursued this case . . our efforts were not.with- :ut significance." a Wednesday, the Washtenaw County Circuit Court fined former Cinema, Guild Board Chairman Mary Barkey, '69, a total of $235 on a charge of disturbing the' peace. Miss Barkey, who pleaded guilty to the charge, had originally been # charged with a high misdemeanor for showing the allegedly obscene film "Flaming Creatures" last January. The Civil Liberties Board aided the case by submitting two friend of the court briefs in behalf of Cinema Guild. The Board's major contention centered around the legality of the seizure of the film rather than its merits or shortcomings. See CIVIL, Page 6 Associated Press Staff Photog- rapher Dozier Mobley, who wit- nessed the gunfire, said a group of 50 to 75 Negroes standing on the campus at the crest of the slope opened fire as city firemen and police moved in to put out- the blaze.

By RON LANDSMAN Clyde Vroman plays the "num- bers game" and that's why the literarycollege has to cut back admissions next fall. Vroman is the director of the University Admissions Office and the "numbers game" he plays is figuring out how many high school seniors are going to apply to the University, how many will accept admission offers, and how many will actually come to the University. The literary college - currently operating under the Leveque plan for college growth - which calls for over one-third increase in enrollment in five years- admit- ted slightly more than the Le- veque quotas for the last three years. The plan is named for Prof. William Leveque, chairman of the mathematics department; who de- vised the schedule four years ago. While not serious in any one year, the cumulative affect of over ad- mission has pushed the college near the crisis point. "The trouble really started with this year's freshman class," Vro- man explained. The admissions office expected a downswing in the constantly increasing number of admissions. The slump didn't materialize. "We thought we were in good shape," Vroman said, "but when we got the registrar's enrollment report in November, we found out we had gone 180 over the quota." Shortly after this discovery the ad- missions committee of the literary college faculty decided that ad- missions for next year would have to be 180 under next year's Leve- que quota to maintain a reason- able over-all size. Vroman explained that when his office heard the decision they scaled down their admissions pro- cedure to keep the new enroll- ments lower. Nonetheless, with the fast pace of applications this year, it still appears as though they will be very close, if not over, the 2970 fall freshmen quota. When the executive committee of the literary college met with Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Allan Smith and Vroman last Saturday, they agreed to re- duce total new enrollments next fall by 180. The office, however, was given a free hand to make the cuts wherever they could -- such as in transfers or re-admits, See ADMISSIONS, Page 6 City Council Backs 9-Si~te Housing Plan By DANIEL ZWERDLING and ALISON SYMROSKI City Council tentatively en- dorsed last night the Housing Commission's revised public hous- ing plan calling for construction of 139 low-rent apartments onI nine sites throughout the city. Under the new proposal, which Council will present at a special: public hearing -Tuesday, a private contractor will build the low cost' units on nine different locations and sell them to the city. These will be supplemented by 58 ex- isting apartments which will be! rehabilitated by the city. The Housing Commission will rent the apartments to low income fam- ilies. IDA To Hold Secret Meeting on Structure The executive committee of the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) will hold a secret meeting in New York Feb. 20-21 to discus the future course of the organization, The Daily learned yesterday. The crucial session may determine the future of Univer- sity participation in the controversial organization, which has prompted protests and demonstrations at several schools. The University is ene of the 12 schools which comprise IDA, a group which describes as "a non-profit corporation to provide the Department of Defense with studies in na- I tional security.";uommutsts IDA was organized in 1956 in response to the rapid growth of '' P s Defense Department-sponsored re- search.

With TRIES RECRUITMENT "U'-Too Affair: CIA Keeps Tabs on Students SS 0 :0~~ lo iN By STEVE NISSEN Last of Two Parts When Congress set up the Central Intelligence Agency it spe- cifically stated that the organization would have no "internal security anctions." But that doesn't hinder the agency from keeping its finger on the campus pulse. CIA agents regularly visit the campus to find out what today's young people are thinking. Sometimes they even talk with campus leaders. One such visit came on an evening last fall when two neatly dressed, niddle-aged CIĀ° agents stopped by to visit a member of the University's Joint Judiciary Council. The agents uolitely introduced themselves as "business associates" The father suggested that the- CIA was particularly interested in the organization of JCC as an instrument to block enforcement, of University regulations, particularly the individuals behind that effort. The student (whose narme is withheld upon personal request) carefully explained that the meetings of JJC, Student Government !council, and SDS were all ope'a and that anyone interested in what the students were doing could attend their meetings. When the CIA contact was made, the agents began their dis- cussion with polite social tatk. Later they explained their purpose, and one of the agents left. The remaining agent pointed out that it was the "patriotic duty of citizens" to help the government when requested. Finally, the agent pulled out his CIA credentials. When this didn't' promrt any more cooperation, he changed his tone. The Housing Commission of- fered the plan to Council in the wake of -opposition to an earlier proposal, which would have dis- tributed 142 new units over only seven ,sites. Opponents charged this pre- vious plan, which included three sites of 39 units each, unneces- sarily crowded low-income fam- ilies and risked the formation of "new ghettos." The current proposal would al- low no more than 24 units on any one site. "The Housing Commission's newest proposal is more what we've been shooting for," said Councilman Brian Connelly. "It' approaches the dispersal concept we've wanted all along." Housing Commissioner William i F
