UGLI hit
in protest
by blacks'
By LARRY LEMPERT
and CHRIS UHL
Thousands of books in the
Undergraduate Library w e r e
rearranged for the second day
in a, rowt by a group of over
"00 black students yesterday
afternoon after they walked
out of a meeting with the Re-
gents on increasing minority
enrollment.
The students had demanded the
,egents give proof of a commit-
ient to increased minority en-
rollment by agreeing to meet in
two weeks to discuss the possibil-
ity of tuition waivers to minority
group students. When half an
hour of argument failed to get
that meeting scheduled, the stu-
dents left.
At a short rally held outside
the Administration Bldg. Ron
Harris, president of Black Stu-
dents Union (BSU), said to "go
do your homework." The group
proceeded- to the library.
The students went to each floor
of the building and removed books
agrom the shelves at random. Some
books were thrown on the floor.
some were replaced on different
shelves, and others were piled on
tables and in wastecans.
Last night, on the request of
President Robben Fleming, police
were stationed in the undergradu-
te, graduate, and law libraries to
prevent further disruptions.
Minor disturbances were also
reported yesterday in Angell Hall
and the graduate library in con-
nection with the protest.
After meeting once with the
Regents on Thursday, the students
said they had returned yesterday
because they :believed the first
meeting had decided nothing.
Harris demanded a definite "sense
of commitment" and raised the
possibility of tuition waivers as
"a radical new approach to meet-
ing or solving the problems of in-
reasing minority admissions."
Tuition waivers had been pro-
posed at the meeting Thursday.
but the Regents had decided to
postpone consideration of tuition
waivers until the University had a
chance to investigate their feasi-
bility.
When the issue was raised again
'yesterday, Fleming tried to explain
that the Regents could not con-
sider tuition waivers immediately.
"The fact is that the Legislature
passed last year a clause saying
that we should not give a tuition
waiver."
Time is necessary, said Fleming,
o explore the possibility of get-
ting enough support in the Legis-
lature to change that clause. Fur-
thermore, the University needs
some time, he said, to calculate
possible costs to the University.
Theblack students had alleged
that the tuition waivers would
cost the University nothing, for
the additional students would be
taking up classroom space that is
presently usable but is not in use.
Fleming, however, said that tui-
tion waivers would cost money,

By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ
The Regents yesterday
authorized a $95 increase in a
residence hall rates. The in-
crease will go into effect at
the start of the 1970-71 aca-
demic year, which begins in
s August.
The hike in dorm fees will raise
the annual room and board of stu-
dents occupying a single room to
$1,225. Occupants of double rooms
will be charged $1,135 and triple
rooms will cost $1,046 per occu-
}H pan-.
The Regents gave unanimous
r Aapproval to the fee Increase at
their monthly public meeting yes-
terday. The increase was recom-
mnended by acting Vice President
for S t u d e n t Affairs Barbara
Newell, and the Board of Gover-
y } yinors of Residence Halls.
In related action, the Regents
} also authorized several changes in
the distribution of male and fe-
male housing spaces among the
residence halls.

said was an attempt to avoid the

MAXIMUM
JAIL TERM;

CIJICAGO (ii - Five Jan e n
convicted of inciting riots dur-
ing the 1968 Democratic Na-
tional Convention were sen-
tenced yesterday to five years
in prison, fined $5,000 and or-
dered to pay the costs of the
prosecution.
Judge Julius J. Hoffman of
U.S. District Court ordered that
their sentences run concurrently
with contempt sentences he lv-
led on the defendants over the
weekend.
The prison sentences were the
maximum the judge could have
set according to the 1968 federal
antiriot law under which the men
were tried. He could have fined
them as much as $10,000.
Richard G. Schultz, an assistant
U.S. district attorney, said after
the sentencing that the cost of
prosecuting the five-month t r i a 1
would be more than $40,000.
The biggest cost of the prosecu-
tion was the price of court tran-
scripts which Schultz estimated
at $35,000 to $38,000. Witness costs
could run as high as $20,000. The
defendants cannot be assessed for
the cost of the jury. Juror's fees
and expenses amounted to more
than $150,000.
There were no incidents or
outbursts in the courtroom during
the sentencing of David Dellinger,
54; Abbie Hoffman, 31; Tom
Hayden, 31; Rennie Davis, 29; and
Jerry Rubin, 31.
The defendants' families a n d
friends were excluded from t he
courtroom and the entire 23 r d
floor of the Federal Building. De-
fense lawyer William M. Kunstler
objected to the quick sentencing
but Judge Hoffman said that has
been his policy for 17 years.
"I think it is wrong legally and
morally," Kunstler said.
"To say I am morally wrong"
the judge said, "can only add to
your present troubles."
Kunstler and his colleague,
Leonard I. Weinglass, were sent-
enced to 4 years and 13 days, and
20 months and 5 days, respectively
for contempt. They are free until
May 4 to carry out their le g a 1
duties on behalf of the defend-
ants.
After the sentencing, the judge
again denied a motion to free the
defendants on bond. He granted
30 days for the filing of post-trial
motions. The government will have
20 days to reply.
Prior to sentencing, the defend-
ants were given the opportunity to
speak and they took nearly two
hours to castigate the judicial sys-
tem, the judge, the jury and the
government.
Two other defendants, John R.
Froines, 31, and Lee Weiner, 31
were acquitted of conspiracy and
a substantive count charging them
with teaching the use of an in-
cendiary device. They were being "
heldr however, on contempt sent-
ences.
Before the sentencing, J u d g e
Hoffman rejected the defense's
first point of appeal on the ver-
dict. He ruled that the contents
of wiretap logs containing con-
versations of several defendants
did not taint the government's
case. The logs were impounded at
the start of the trial Sept. 24.
Abbie Hoffman, in his state-
ment before sentencing said the

However, Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny said, "ISR C callsdebate,

On charges Krasny theorized that the bullet
was fired sometime Wednesday
