"Neither students nor faculty should be forced to attend classes Wednesday," the SGC statement explains. "The intention of the Day of Deliberation is to achieve a break in the routine of everyday events. The momentousness of the question before us demands such a break and makes a defense of this routine for its own sake ludi- crous. " in no way do these events pro- test the loss of student deferments for graduate students," the state- $ ment continues. Graduate Assembly passed a s i m i 1 a r resolution Wednesday night. The new plan for the Day of Deliberation calls for activities 'to begin March 18 with a mass meeting to plan the following Wednesday's activities. A draft teach-in will begin on Tuesday, March 19, YalebUniver- sity's chaplain, the Rev. William Sloane Coffin, will deliver the keynote address. Workshops and discussions on the draft will con- tinue throughout the evening. SGC member Sam Sherman, '68, said the purpose of the resolution was "to restate our firm support of the draft teach-in activities and to clarify misconceptions about: the motivations behind the Day of Deliberation." The SGC resolution says "The purpose is also to give individualsc a day in which to consider theirt personal moral plight and alter- native courses of action."i S Cmember Tom Westerdale,b Grad, explained the SGC action was not a reversal of its actionf last week. "All the important is-t sues have been merely clarified and the important parts of ther program remain unchanged," heb said.c "The presence of the Rev. Wil- l iam Sloane Coffin as keynote speaker will help avert any possi- Iu ble misunderstanding as to the: purpose of the teach-in and DayV of Deliberation," he concluded. SGC member Gayle Rubin, '70, criticized Vice-President Allan F. Smith for what she said is "blatant hypocrisy." "He finds it inadvisable to can- cel classes for the Day of Deliber- ation in the interests of education- al continuity, but has urged the faculty and graduate teaching staff to cancel class and attend Presi- dent Fleming's inauguration," she concluded. e jec ts Class Boycott, Slates Mass Meeting * * * * * * Low Budget May Cause Tuition Hike Fleming Discusses Possibility of Raise If State Cuts Funds By STEVE NISSEN University President Robben Fleming said yesterday that the "University may have no alterna- tive but to raise tuition" next year. Rates for Michigan residents as well as out-of-state students may have to be increased, he said. Unless the legislature restores the cuts made previously in Gov. Romney's higher education appro- priation request, the tuition hike' will be necessary to provide ade- quate funds to meet the Univer- sity's minimum needs, Fleming ex-' plained. The Senate appropriations com- mittee last week trimmed $3.4 mil- lion from Romney's recommenda- tions, but suggested that a $3481 hike in out-of-state tuition could compensate for the cut. The Senate passed the bill two days later and sent it on to the House where the possibility of re- storing part of the $3.4 million cut is being considered. However, a report by the state auditor general has charged the University with "overstatement of expenditures and an understate- ment of available cash."

There were no Washtenaw County Social Services:;testimonies in defense of the plan. Richard Vecker, social worker, said the site was not acceptable because "on the sides are the New York Central Railroad and an asphalt plant, and it's backyard is the Huron River."

Romneyi and legislative leaders in Lansing Monday to lobby for restoration of budget slashes He reported re- ceiving a "sympathetic reaction" and said that Romney "still favors his own recommendations."

(In a related development, SGC voted last night to file suit in the Sform of a' mandamus action against city building officials. A writ of mandamus, if issued by the court, would force the Department of Building and Safety Engineer- : 2 ing to take action correcting viola- tions at Albert Terrace.) Weeks submitted a statement to Mayor Wendell E. Hulcher and the City Council requesting that City Attorney Peter Forsythe com- pile a complete report answering questions in eight major areas of concern in the Albert Terrace case. Weeks referred to the article in Tuesday's Daily charging that prominent realtor John Stege- man, owner of Charter Realty, repeatedly violated city building codes in the construction of Al- bert Terrace, located at 1700 Geddes. The Daily also claimed the Ann Arbor Department of Building and Safety Engineering did not press charges against Stegeman as specified by city law.

GA has withdrawn support from the proposed student strike but will continue to support other Day of Deliberation activ- ities, including a teach-in. Teach-in To Present Views Of residentil Candidates The welfare board also an- nounced it has recommended to the board of supervisors a real estate * firm be employed by the county to look for alternative sites. Ypsilanti Site In addition, the welfare boarc announced it has asked the boarc of supervisors to begin a study of the possibility of setting up a wel- fare office in Ypsilanti. However, the board will not wait for the . Ypsilanti study to be completec before they make their decision or the relocation of the welfare of- fice. The welfare board promised tc furnish transportation for welfare recipients to the new site if it is adopted. It agreed. to allow FPF and other organizations to attend its future meetings. Mrs. Shirley Haywood, a repre- sentative for Aid to Dependent children (ADC) Qf Ypsilanti, claimed the proposed relocation "is too far out of our reach.

The teach-in was organized in conjunction with the SGC gener- al elections next week which in- clde a straw vote on the presi- dential race and a poll of stu- dents' views on the Vietnam War. The straw vote, sponsored by Time Magazine, is on the student ballot at over.200 college cam- puses this year. "We plan to have the election for most colleges April 24," said{ Robert Harris, chairman of "Choice '68", the program's of- ficial name. "But Michigan is the only large school holding tWe elec- tion so early, and because of its size it willrnaturally indicate sig- nificant trends," he said. The teach-in will include speak- ers representing peace candidate Sen. Eugene McCarthy, Sen. Rob- ert Kennedy, and President John- son. Also represented will be front-running Republican Nelson: Rockefeller, Oregon Sen. Mark O. Hatfield, former vice-president Richard Nixon, and California Gov. Ronald Reagan.

"We will have a substantial turnout because all the students- not just the activists, can record' their views," concluded Harrs. By NADINE COIIODAS Beginning this spring a team of scientists from the western prairie states will begin an integrated re- search program on grasslands in northeastern Colorado. This project is part of the 17 month old Program on Analysis of Ecosystems, directed by Prof.: Frederick Smith, chairman of the natural resources school's depart- ment of wildlife and fisheries. The study is part of the United States' contribution to the Inter- national Biological Program. John Kadelec, associate prof. of wildlife management is as- sisting Smith as coordinator of the study. Results of the program will be processed in part by the University's computers. Dual Objectives The program has two main ob- jectives, Smith explains, "to im- prove man's ability to manage renewable natural resources; and to establish a scientific base for programs to improve environmen- tal quality." The program is designed to es- tablish a total of six experimen- tal environments - coniferous, deciduous and tropical forests, and desert and arctic tundra - in different regions of the United States and tropics. Funds for the projects will come primarily from At a recent meeting the pro- gram's central committee select- ed the Colorado study for its first project. It will be under the di- rection of George Van Dyne, as- sociate prof. of Biology at Color- ado State University. After initial study plots are designated in a 15,000 acre grass- land area, the scientists will apply various treatments to different plots. Smith explained, for ex-; ample, that certain plots will be fertilized, others irrigated, and3 others left untouched. Investigators will study each When asked about th plot, concentrating on a specific bility of an increase in d component of an environment for 1969-70 if they do re such as the grasses or birds.

Most first-year graduate students and graduating seniors will be reclassified I-A this summer under a recent order elimina- ting student deferments for all graduate students. except those already beyond their first year of study and those in medical fields.
