BAut Parly Student Protesters Continued T171T A R 10 To Spons"or Draft Poll By GREG ZIEREN Graduate Assembly last night} agreed to sponsor a draft refer-* endum for graduate students and appointed a committee to draw up? the referendum. Roy Ashmall, president of GA, said that the referendum would be conducted 'in early Novem- ber" and that the results would be sent to the Dean of the Grad- uate School.- The Assembly also approved the nominations of Phil VanderWerg and Jerry Smith to the ad hoc committee to investigate the Bu- reau of Appointments and Occu- pational Information. He added that another member would be named early next week. Ruth Baumann, '68, vice presi- dent of Student Government Council, who attendedrthe meet- ing last night, told The Daily that SGC would announce the appoint- ments to the committee in the near future; "probably tomorrow night." The board of inquiry was ap- proved last week at a meeting of the Student Advisory Board to Vice President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler. Cutler agreed to add six students to the exist- ing five-member faculty board established by the Regents for the investigation of the Appointments Bureau. Student Advisory Board mem- bers had discussed the function of the inquiry board, which was prompted by a list of 32 questions regarding the efficiency and com- petence of the Bureau. Cutler re- portedly agreed that the questions of the type "that any good ad- ministrator should ask himself." No decision was reached on whether the meetings of the in- quiry board were to be made pub- lic. Cutler said that the decision rested with Evart W. Ardis, di- rector of the Bureau. Ardis said he "welcomed an inquiry" but did not say whether or not the meet- ings were to be made public. A major controversy emerged at the meeting of the Student Ad- visory Board on the question of finances for the Appointments Bureau. Cutler said that he was not at liberty to divulge figures. Members of the Board agreed that the question of finances and what is being done with the per- sonal information compiled b the Bureau regarding students are the two major issues to be investi- gated by the board of inquiry. Larson and Wayne State's stu- dent government have sent a letter to President William Rea . Keast "insisting"' that the administration clarify its position on the matter.s Suber said that in a report sent to him by the Justice Department, one of the implied reasons for his denial of CO appeal was that he had no religious preference. "There was nowhere they could have gotten that but from my transcript," Suber contended. Suber said he approached Sla- by's office "and they said they did turn over that information." The FBI office in Detroit re- fused last night to confirm the in- formation or to disclose how many times FBI agents had used Wayne State's student files. Suber further claimed that Justice Department reports of his 'grade point, credit hours and other transcript information' were the sole reason for the denial of his CO appeal. In thefall of '66, when a similar incident occurred at Wayne State, academic affairs dean James Mc- Cormick was quoted in the Wayne State student newspaper as saying, "I'm very sure it should not have happened." -Daily-Richard S.

Speculation Grows On Fast Settlement DETROIT (/)-Auto negotiators extended their news blackout for an indefinite period last night, fueling speculation that a break- or possibly even settlement-could be near in the 35-day-old strike against the Ford Motor Co. Spokesmen for both sides made a brief announcement of the ex- tension as the 9 p.m. expiration of the 24-hour. blackout imposed Tuesday, arrived. As of 2 a.m. this morning, there was no word on the progress of the talks. "The agreement between the company and the union is being extended," one of the spokesmen told about 50 newsmen at the Ford headquarters in suburban Dear- born earlier in the day. Newsmen asked if the extension would be for another 24-hour period and the spokesman said "it could be for more or less." The spokesman said that bar- g;ainers for the company and the United Auto Workers would not meet with newsmen or see them at any time during the blackout, which in previous years often has heralded a break in deadlocked talks. Extension of the blackout fol- jowed -possibly coincidentally-a meeting of the Ford board of di- -ectors earlier Wednesday. After rejecting Ford's only offer in the three months of iiegotiations as "totally inadequate," the union struck in support of its contract demands, thus knocking Ford out of 1968 model auto production. The strike is 35 days old. Until the surprise blackout- which came aftera company re- quest that Tuesday's negotiations be delayed from afternoon until night - each side had utilized news conferences almost daily in endeavors to prove itself con- scientious and the other irrespon- sible. Negotiations opened July 11 and Ford made its initial offer Aug. 2,9.

As the church has declined, Pike contended, interest in religion has grown. He stressed the need to "re- new the church while there are still people to renew it with." Pike bases his own belief in the "element of transcendence in man that distinguishes him from things." He feels there is "a con- tinuity of life after death and that there can be communication between the living and the dead. In the world, man is "exper- iencing as much eternal life now, as he will ever experience," Pike said. "The here and now is as important as the hereafter."

'The students charged that Rear Admiral S. R. Brown, director of the command control and elec- tronic division of the office of Naval Operations, in Washington, was in Ann Arbor to sign a $2 mil- lion military ordinance research contract. University officials flatly. denied the charge. The confrontation began when 15 students surrounded Adm Brown and top research and en- gineering school officials as they lunched at North Campus Com- mons during the noon hour. The students fired questions at the of- ficials about the alleged research contract. After lunch, the students, joined by 25 pickets who had re- mained outside, followed Adm. Brown, Vice-President for Re- search A. Geoffrey Norman and others to the electrical engineering department's Cooley Laboratories a block away. Parked at the front of the laboratory was Vietnam Fall's "Peacemobile" a large yel- low trailer. The students hurried into the second floor meeting room reserved for a film showing and settled into the back rows. University officials had scheduled, a three hour series of technical 'presentation and briefings for the admiral, as well as discussions. University officials asked the students to leave the secret session but they refused and demanded "to see the, movies." The' students charged that' Brown was visiting to sign, a $2 million military research contract. Vice-President Norman told the students that Brown had not come to sign a contract but for a "rou-- tine discussion." However, the agenda prepared for the meeting by the Cooley Lab staff said that "Apparently he (Brown) is interested in initiating some sponsored research pro- grams." It added that "the pur- pose of this meeting is to exchange information concerning his de- partment's research requirements and our areas of research interest." When the students refused to leave, the University officials call- ed off the meetings at Cooley. Brown was reportedly then taken to the University's Willow Run Laboratories at Ypsilanti, where the school does the bulk of its classified military research. How- ever, the majority of the presenta- tion scheduled for Cooley was re- portedly cancelled. Willow run Director Rune Evald- son said that "Brown came here to discuss the future of integrated electronic circuits." He denied that Brown had come 'to disctss military ordinance contracts, but said that "some of his interests are, of course, classified ones." Earlier, Vice-President Norman told the student protesters that the classified research discussions were aimed at peaceful purposes. See SECRET, Page 6 esident Seeks Research The Minnesota Daily learneA that the secret project involves the campus police department in a study of interrogation of people under the influence of drugs.
