By HARVARD VALLANCE {
The executive committee of
the political science depart-
ment yesterday called for pro-:
testing graduate students to
accept the reduction of teach-
ing fellowship funds but it
agreed to negotiate certain
other grievances which t h e
students have presented.
Most of the department's teach-
ing fellows have been holding a
"moratorium" on the teaching of
all political science recitation sec-
tions since Monday in a dispute
over reallocation of teaching fel-
lowship funds'to permit the hir-
ing of additional faculty members.
A resolution passed by the ex-
ecutive committee stated that ac-
ceptance of the committee's ear-
lier decision to reallocate the funds
was a prerequisite to any negotia-
tions on certain issues.
The resolution called for the
establishment of a joint student-
faculty advisory committee to dis-
cuss the utilization of all fellow-
ship funds available to graduate
students next year.
The executive committee also:
agreed that two proposals made by
the students also will be discussed
-the possibility of tax-free status
for teaching fellows and the estab-
lishment a departmental "clearing
house" which would seek financial
support for students from outside
of the r e g u 1 a r departmental
budget.
John Pammet, the graduate stu-
dents' representative on the execu-
tive committee, said both he and
the undergraduate member of the
committee supported the resolu-
tion.
The ad hoc organization of

By SHARON WEINER
University administrators, students
and Ann Arbor public school officials are
colliding over the issue of who should
pay for the education of children of
students living in University apart-
ments.
Since University land and housing are
exempt from local property taxes, Ann
Arbor school officials have asked the
University to volunteer funds to offset
some of the costs for educating 388
children The children are now attend-
ing the University school which will be
discontinued at the end of this year.
1 the University agrees to pay for the
childrens' education, University offic-
ials have said there will probably be a
rent hike for all married students to
help cover the new expense.
Under the current state laws, Ann

Arbor schools are required to accept all
school age children living within the dis-
trict, regardless of whether their par-
ents pay taxes to the city.
Negotiations have been under way for
several weeks between University and
city school officials over an appropriate
basis for payment, but some members of
the Northwood Terrace Association
(NTA) which includes the approximate-
ly 1,000 student families livipg in mar-
ried housing, object to any payment. at
all.
"The 'reason students live in Univer-
sity housing is because they can't afford
not to," says NTA member Paul Duffy,
who is also a representative on the Stu-
dent Advisory Committee on Housing.
"If there is a rent hike, married hous-
ing will be among the most expensive in
Ann Arbor." .

"This land is exempt from taxation,"
he continues. "If our rent is raised for
the purposes of paying the school sys-
temi, the University would be in the posi-
tion of levying and collecting a tax-
which it isn't empowered to do."
But Director of University Housing
John Feldkamp says "The University is
convinced that some payment is appro-
priate."
Feldkamp, Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer Wilbur Pierpont, and
Administrative Dean Robert Williams
were appointed by University President.
Robben Fleming to negotiate with
school board officials.
According to Pierpont, there are three
possible ways of basing payment to the
public school system.
These include:

hassle over school costs

-Using the state's formula for public
school students living outside of the dis-
trict where they attend school;
-Using the actual per student cost for
the schools; or
-Using an assumed property tax
assessment of the Northwood apart-
ments, applying the normal city rate.
Another factor in the discussions, says
Pierpont, is that University students
practice teach in the public schools.
"We're discussing whether or not this
teacher training item should be tied to
the payment for children residing on
North Campus," he explains.
Feldkamp has suggested that the cost
the University incurs in sending student
teachers to Ann Arbor schools be con-
sidered part of the University's contribu-
tion to the schools.

The University has sent a letter
to Robert Finch, secretary of
health, education and welfare, ex-
plaining President Robben Flem-
ing's reasons for not forwarding
to HEW the names of participants
in recent disruptions at the Uni-
versity.
The letter is in compliance with
a federal law which provides that
federal financial aid be revoked
from students who disrupt the
teaching process at a school or
interfere with college officials.
However, the law does not stip-
ulate that 'a college president sub-
mit names if he believes that the
disruptors do not come under the
auspices of the law.
The letter to Finch expressed
the University's opinion that stu-
dents did not disrupt the teaching
process or interfere with Univer-
sity officials during three recent
disruptions sponsored by Students
for a Democratic Society.
Meanwhile, legal consultants to
the University have not made any

Landlords neutral on new code

By TOM WIEDER
The new city housing code which in-
creases protection for tenants rights and
provides stiffer penalties for code violators
has drawn little strong reaction from local
landlords or the Ann Arbor Tenants Union.
Most of the landlords contacted said that
either they were not familiar enough with
the new regulations to comment on them,
or that their buildings conformed to the
code so there would be no reason to fear it.
A Tenants Union spokesman said he be-

If the landlord fails to correct the vio-
lations within a period of time three times
as long as the original limit set by the city,
then fines of $5 a day will be levied against
the landlord until the correction is made.
A spokesman for Charter Realty housing,
said he forsees no problems for his com-
pany in the new law.'
Since Charter buildings all conform to
the code, he claimed, stricter enforcement
would not affect the copmpany.
Similar sentiments were expressed by

D. A. Renken, owner of D. A. Renken
Co., had nearly the same reaction as Burn-
ham. "We don't have anything out of
code," he said, "so enforcement doesn't
bother us."
One of the provisions of the code pro-
vides for inspection of apartments every
two years. Burnham said his company reg-
ularly calls for inspections by the city and
would not be bothered by the inspections
under the code. "We call for inspection
every two years or less," Renken said.

to Chicago under the guise of
peaceful protest, and then to
create a situation which wquld
force police to react in such a way
as to provoke a riot. This, Schultz
said, was intended to radicalize
the anti-war movement and create,
"a national liberation front in the
United States."
He began with a half-hour apol-
ogia for four key government wit-
nesses, claiming that all four -
three of whom were undercover
police agents - had given truth-
ful testimony, even when it meant

pecially that of Abbie Hoffman
and Rennie Davis, the two defend-
ents who testified.
He cited differences between
prosecution and defense testimony,
and told the jury, "It is your
duty to decide who is telling the
truth."
Schultz attempted to counter-
act the possible prestige of music-
ians and black leaders who testi-
fied for the defense, claiming the
defendents had told these people
