McCarthy posted is a serious bid for the presidential 1 his Vietnam war challenge to! President Johnson yesterday, an- nouncing he will enter at least four presidential primaries in 1968-and hinting that Sen. Rob- ert F. Kennedy could become the political beneficiary. McCarthy said he will enter the primaries in Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oregon and California, and pos- sibly those in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as well. He said there is so much dis- satisfaction in America over tlhe Vietnam war, its conduct and its effects at home, that "there is a good possibility" Jolinson will be' denied renomination. "I believe there's a good chance that we can win' two or three primaries," the1 tall gray-haired senator said. White House Silent The White House was silent on McCarthy's announcement. So was Kennedy-for the moment. McCarthy said his determina- tion to run was stiffened by "an- nouncements from the adminis- tration of plans for continued es- calation and intensification of the war in Vietnam." He said he hopes his candidacy will lead Johnson to alter that policy. "If not," he said, "I think the challenge would have to go all the way to a challenge for the nomination for the presidency. "If not me, someone else. "I think that-there might be a nomination or simply an effort to stir -debate and build pressure } among Democrats for a war policy shift. McCarthy described his Viet- nam prescription as a phased, scheduled withdrawal of U.S. forces, with periodic efforts at settlement. Honorable Peace "As I'm sure I shall be charged, I am not for peace at any price, but for an honorable, rational and political solution to this war," he said. "I am hopeful," he said, "thatx this challenge, which I hope will' be supported by other members of the Senate and other politic- ians, may alleviate the sense of political helplessness and restore to many people a belief in the process of American politics and of American government. "I do not see in my move any threat to the unity and the strength of the Democratic party, whatever the unity today may be and whatever strength it may be," McCarthy said. "Only time will tell," Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mans- field said of that assertion. Mans- field, who has expressed mis- givings about Vietnam policy him- self, said he will support John- son. "Any defections in the party hurt," said Sen. John 0. Pastore, D-R.I. LSA Move Frederick Ends Trial Open Hours By MARCY ABRAMSON Frederick House at South Quad has voted not to continue un- limited visitation after dormitory staffcontinued to enforce U- versity rules banning 24-hour open-opens during Frederick's at- tempted- two-week trial of the policy. The house director warned resi- dents they would be thrown out of the dormitory for repeated vio- lations shortly before the voting at a house meeting earlier this week, a Frederick resident said. Director Walter Kurcewski, '69L, told the house that Thomas Fox, South Quad director, warned staff members of the expulsion policy, the resident explained. The house then voted 22-18 against 24-hour open-opens. Tentative Hours Frederick passed tentative ex- panded visiting hours which will be sent to the Residence Halls Board of Governors for consider- ation at their Dec. 14 meeting. The proposed hours include Mon- day, Thursday and Sunday even- ings as well as almost.the entire weekend. A motion to give the pro- posal immediate effect was de- feated. Lloyd House, West Quad, con- tinues to operate in violation of University rules. Lloyd House will propose at the next governors' board meeting that each house be allowed to make its own conduct regulations. 1 MacKay Less Active f The director of West Quad, Wil- liam MacKay. has not opposed Lloyd's action as actively as Fox has in South Quad. MacKay asked' us to go through channels to get this approved," a house officer explained. "No one has been brought before judic." Lloyd is conducting a survey to determine how many residents favor unlimited visitation. Results will be sent to Inter-House As- sembly and the governors. "So far 90 per cent of the house is in favor," the officer said. "Hopefully the board will decide to agree." Counseling Ermann said the staff is en- forcing University rules by coun- seling offenders. "Several students have been counseled," Ermann said. Kurcewski collected a list of names of offenders, who received letters from Fox which said the list would ,e forwarded to John Feldkamp, director of University residence halls. Staff members entered rooms where girls were present and ask- ed them to leave. When the girls refused, the staff member himself refused to leave the room. "Fox suggested we do this," said John Burns, assistant resident di- rector. "Because there was so much ttrouble with our 24-hour policy- the resident advisors harassing us and all-a lot of the guys decided against it," another Frederick resi- dent said. Board ToP 'unish pus. Shaw indicated that the board has "been engaged in discussions this month regarding the defini- tion of "academic discipline" and the college's role in it. The board will issue a general statement on the matter after its scheduled meeting today. Board Refrains According to Jack Manning, ad- ministrative assistant to Shaw, the board has refrained from con- SGC Votes For MeetingI With Regents By GREG OXFORD Daenzer Rejects May Consider Future Non-Academic Cases By STEVE NISSEN The' administrative board of the literary college has rejected a request from Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler that VOICE-SDS Chairman Karen Daen- zer, '70, be disciplined for participating in an Oct. 11 protest against visiting Navy Rear Admiral S. N. Brown. The disci- pline reportedly involved suspension of Mrs. Daenzer. Associate Dean James Shaw, who heads the college I board said last night, "The administrative board has declined to involve itself in disciplinary action involving students in the North Campus incident." Cutler made a formal request to the board after receiving a complaint from the engineering college about the protest by 40 students on North Cam- - Cutler M~rs.

Steude, SHA Draft New Stuident Lease U' Students Receive Windfall of $200 By MIKE THORYN A windfall of $200 was delivered to 142 University students this week by the Office of Financial Aids. The money came through a pro- vision of the federal Education Opportunity Grants p r o g r a m (EOG) which provides students in the upper half of their class dur- ing the previous year with an additional $200 each. fight on the floor of the conven- The grants, part of the Higher tion in any case," he said. Education Act of 1965, are given' McCarthy did not explain in to students with financial need. 'U Deletes Security Clause In Non-Academic Contracts There are 292 students at the University on EOG's. Gretchen Forsyth of the Michi- gan Higher Education Assistance, Authority Scholarship Office said, "Most other schools passed out the bonuses much earlier." Some students may not be able to keep all of their bonus. Ivan W. Parker, associate director of fi- nancial aids, said the $200 should be reported to the Michigan High- er Education Assistance Author- ity if the student holds a state' scholarship. Ronald Jursa, director of the division of student financial aids for the state, said, "If a stu- dent's total aid exceeds his cal- culated need, the authority ishre- quired to cut his stipend. The' award depends on the student's total need." Mrs. Forsyth said that the authority uses a $100 buffer. "A student whose calculated need is exceeded only by $100 with the bonus will not have his state scholarship cut," she said. Normally, EOG's are matched by private, state, or National De- fense scholarships. The $200 does not have to be matched. "The fi- nancial aids office received $40,000! that could only be used for the bonus payments," Parker said. By DAVID SPVRR Off-campus housing officials have approved a new University eight-month lease for use by Ann Arbor landlords. Chairman of Student-Com- munity Relations William L. Steude and members of the Stu- dent Housing Association drafted the lease last night. SHA mem- bers Mark Shreiber, '69, said he expects the lease to be available by January 1. The new lease includes a rental term clause "not to exceed eight months." This is followed by an optional 'provision to extend the lease term for a period "not to exceed four months." Student ten- ants who wish to rent for a per- iod longer than eight months can sign both clauses at the same time. Thus, the lease provides for a rental term of any number of months up to a year. Instructions explaining that the second clause is merely an option to extend the eight-month term will be included on the lease,I since housing committee .members feared that landlords would get confused students to sign for 12 months all at once. Steude approved the lease and intends to discuss it with Univer- sity lawyers before printing it for off-campus housing bureau use.. He said he also wishes to fore- warn landlords about the new lease so that they will have time to write leases of their own if the University lease is unacceptable to them. Shreiber, stressing the need for immediate availability of the new lease, said, "If it's not out by January 1, it will be ineffective until next year." Besides the term of rental, other important differences in the new lease involve return of damage deposits, penalties for late rent, and landlords' charging tenants for cleaning apartments. The lease now stipulates that the landlord must return the damage deposit within 20 days of the termination of the lease, along with an itemized list of costs if the full deposit is not returned. Tenants cannot be penalized for; late payments unless they agree to do so at the time of signing the lease. Also, landlords must accom- pany bills for apartment cleaning with an itemized list of what has been cleaned. "The largest number of complaints from student ten- ants now," said Koeneke, "are' about landlords who overcharge for cleaning." Daenzer was involved. When Shaw read Cutler's letter to the board he specifically de- leted Mrs. Daenzer's name. The board decided it did not want to discuss the individual case. "The board met three times this month not to, consider the speci- fic case but for a philosophical discussion in the proper extent to which the literary college should be involved in such disciplinary matters," said Manning. Mrs. Daenzer Unaware Mrs. Daenzer was unaware lastj night of Cutler's letter about her which was sent to the board nearly a month ago. Manning voiced sur- prize that Cutler had not informed Daenzer of the charges against her. "I'm amazed he didn't tell her, that's the very first thing, you should do," he said. When reached for comment last night Cutler refused to discuss his letter. "I guess if you have a letter in your hands which has my signature on it, I wrote it," he said. In a related development, Direc- tor of University Housing John (See BOARD, Page 2) The move came in response to a request by the Regents that SGC present them with a full written report on Council's ac- tions in abolishing University- made student conduct rules and replacing them with SGC's own regulations. Council President Bruce Kahn, '68, said such a report would be tantamount to writing a book and suggested that an open dis- cussion with the Regents would be a more effective method of communication. Other Action In other action, SGC created an .11-member committee to con- sider proposals for the organiza- tion and operation of the up- coming Constitutional Conven- tion. The convention was approved by students in a referendum early this month. The committee is to report at least one proposal to Council as soon as possible. SGC will then make a decision on the final convention format. University Activities Center President Don Tucker, '68, was named chairman of the committee. ' The group will hold its first meeting Sunday evening in the council chamber. The meeting is open to the public. Council members also got their first look at proposed articles of incorporation, by-laws and con- Beree Disruptive Mill-In Forces Building Shut-Down The controversial security clause in non-academic job application forms will be deleted in all future applications, the University an- nounced yesterday. The clause gives the University the right to investigate its employ- es and fire them if the military' refuses them clearance. Jack Hamilton assistant to the vice-president for University rela- tions said the personnel depart- ment decided since "the clause just didn't make any sense" to elim- inate any ambiguity it might have caused. Individual departmental forms "will also come under review" to check for similar ambiguities. No Comment Employment Supervisor Richard Daggett refused to comment on how many present University em- ployes have come into his office to ask that the clause be eliminated from their records. The clause controversy was brought up when Alice Fialkin, re- search assistant in the school of 4 public health, refused to sign. Miss Fialkin was hired anyway, and given a shorter form to sign- one which deleted the employment agreement and which is usually reserved for clerical or janitorial appointments. Slipped Through could have the clause retracted from their records as well. The publicity spotlighted on the claus inspired objections to it by University officials, employes and at least one local labor recruiter. Dean Myron E. Wegman of the public health school said he was "completely amazed" the clause exists and complained "there's nothing in this department which would make that kind of clause necessary." fto of te se th w pJ pr p2 By JIM HECK Spur Hall, Grennel Hall, and tract with the Regents for a re- Over 1,000 University of Cali- Moses Hall were all forced to close organized SGC.

The founding convention of the Michigan Conference of Concerned Democrats (MCCD) will meet tomorrow in Detroit's Cobo Hall to "outline some basic positions on issues," but it is uncertain whether the conference will endorse a Presidential candidate at this time. "This Conference will develop policy positions," said State Senator Roger Craig (D-Dearborn). "The Demo- cratic Party generally is out of focus in the eyes of the public, and we need a reaffirmation of issues." "I don't anticipate this conference endorsing a can- didate," former Democratic State Chairman Zolton Ferency said last night. "If we can emerge with a con- tinuing organization, with some loose structure, and some idea of the direction of our goals, we'll be accomplishing Principal speakers at the gathering will be Julian Bond, the legislator denied a seat in the Georgia legis- lature for antiwar commentssbefore he was reinstated by the U.S. Supreme Court, and Robert Vaughn, television star and organizer in the Dissenting Democrats movement in California. Other participants include Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich) ; Ferency, who resigned his post last week and state Senators Graig and Coleman Young (D-Detroit). The MCCD originated among a group of delegates and observers at the State Democratic Convention this February. In a newsletter dated Sept. 25, they asserted their concern "because there no longer was any con- spicuous attempt being made to inform the membership of the Party on the complexities of major political issues, or to offer an alternative to a plainly dangerous status Kaufman. "Our group represents a long-standing insur- gence in the Party with people much more authentic in their committments to ideals of policy." "The Democratic Party should open up issues inside the Party---including talk about Vietnam," commented Prof. Otto Feinstein of Wayne' State University, an MCCD organizer. "There is in effect no Democratic Party in Michigan. Vietnam has drained all the resources away from the domestic problems: civil rights. the cities, and a whole realm of moral positions," he continued. In its October newsletter, MCCD also posed the ques- tion of who could defeat Johnson.
