After that age, Justice Hugo L. Black said for the court, the fed- eral five-year statute of limita- tions protects the man from pun- ishment. Precise implications of the de- cision were not immediately dis- cernible but Justice Department lawyers said the ruling does not shield evaders who have fled the country to avoid prosecution. Black, for the five-man major- ity, interpreted the registration requirements as applying once, at' age 18. In the draft case, Black said: "We do not think the* draft act intended to treat continued fail- ure to register as a renewal of the original crime or the repeated commission of new offenses." His majority opinion also dis- counted any prospect of wholesale violations in light of the decis- ion. "We are not convinced," Black said, "that limiting prosecution to a period of five years following the initial failure to register will cianifioa" lw ii afa h Lit Sc] ends ( -" 41 Pans new student- faculty body By ART LERNER The literary college faculty voted y e s $ e r d a y to cease granting credit for all ROTC courses. The faculty also passed an LSA Student Assembly proposal estab- lishing a student-faculty commit- tee to develop a structure for an LSA student-faculty council. The unit would serve as a standing committee of the governing fac- ulty. The proposal to end credit for ROTC courses was presented in a report by a sub-committee of the LSA Curriculum Committee. An earlier Curriculum Committee re- port calling for the reduction of maximum ROTC credit to four hours was considered by the fac-1 ulty last year, but at that time the committee was instructed to con- sider the issue further. Currently, a maximum of 12 to1 15 hours can be earned in ROTC flcur tnwsrd bahelor's d r eev .p r'4 ool faculty 'edit for programs -Associated Press The presidents eonverge -Daily-Jay Cassidy BOB ROSS, a member of Radical College, speaks at the Diag rally yesterday on the University's investment in Dow Chemical Corp. stock. 0 0 French President George yesterday at New York York to apologize to P( es Pompidou talks with President Nixon 's Waldorf Astoria.

"It's the politically symbolic destruction of property," says Richie Feldman of SDS. Two very different perspectives of trashing. Interviews with some 20 students, ap- proached on the diag or called on the phone, revealed that most students at- tach very little political significance to trashing. None of them approved of the tactic. Most of them were "turned off." Observing the onlookers to the trash- : A 'punk,4 "I know they're making a statement about something," Elyse Mallin, '71, as- serts. "They're saying they're anti-estab- lishment. But I can't see that trashing has anything to do with it. I guess they're just venting frustration." Vivian Patraka, a doctoral student in English, also recognizes the anti-estab- lishment voice of trashing, but feels it falls on deaf ears. "Breaking bank windows doesn't ac- complish anything," Vivian says.They've got insurance to pay for that." The only way to make 'them' listen, Vivian feels, is to talk their language- money. "Whan I heard about the unfairness of tactic? they don't like the Chicago 7 trial, but I don't know why they're against ROTC." Nor had she gotten the word on the re- cruiter controversy. "Are they army recruiters?" she quer- ies. Thus, as a political statement, trash- ing seems all but inaudible to the student on the diag. That is not to say, however, that the action is entirely devoid of ef- fect. The effect seems mostly negative. "Vandalism turns me off," says McIn- tyre. Karen Farkas elaborates a little more saying, "They're just setting people against them by trashing, who might otherwise have been for them."
