New ruling may
affect draft status
of some 'U' grads
By SHARON WEINER
The granting of draft deferments to many graduate
students who are fathers may result from a ruling by a
Federal Court in Detroit.
A ruling by District Judge Talbot Smith earlier this week
held that if a graduate student has not previously held an
undergraduate II-S draft deferment since 1967, and is a
father, he is eligible for a III-A fatherhood deferment.
Harold Hood, chief of the civil division of the U.S. attor-
ney's office in Detroit, said no decision has yet been made
by the government on whether to appeal the ruling to the
U.S. Court of Appeals.
Judge Smith's opinion states that the Selective Service
System had exceeded the terms of a provision in the draft
- law which bars the granting
of fatherhood deferments to
(1 etS egitrants who were granted

A regulation adopted by Gen.
Lewis Hershey, former director of
off ice of the Selective Service System, had
extended this prohibition against
fatherhood deferments to include

graduate draft deferments since

By DAVE CHUDWIN
Sen. Edmund Muskie last night asked Americans to
remove the poisons of hate and fear from their minds, along
with the pollution from their environment.
The Maine Democrat, following a panel on the causes of
pollution, emphasized his basic belief in the potential of
American society and urged students to work within the
political system, however slow it may be, to achieve their
goals.
Departing from his prepared text, Muskie presented his
vision of "a whole society, rich in the diversity of its people,
rich in their potential," an outpost of life on a fragile planet.
Much of the diversity mentioned by Muskie was evident

Iltis also discussed the harm
to the environment which he said
was caused by pollution and man's

es. He said that pollutants have ef-

He noted that ending environ-

amount of money and urged that

the wilderness and stopping pol-
lution.
"There are too many 'eco-idiots'

Iltis called for a political and
economic revolution, but made
clear he thought it could also be
accomplished through the normal
political procedures.
Agreeing on the need for politi-
cal action, U.S. Rep. Paul Mc-
Closky (R-Calif) urged the crowd
to help select environmentally-
minded legislators in next No-
vember's congressional elections.
However, Murray Bookchin, an
author, maintained that more fun-
damental changes are needed in
society to fighting environmental
decay.r
"It is inconceivable that with
our present social structure we
can live with the natural world,"
he said. He claimed that a hier-
archial, competitve society is in-
consistent with the integrated
way in which nature operates.

television carried the speeches
of Muskie and the other
speakers.
None of the speakers escaped
some heckling, with United Auto
Workers President Walter Reuther
and Dow Chemical Corp. President
Ted Doan bearing the brunt of it.
The verbal riot continued inter-
mittently throughout the four-
hour marathon program.
Guerrilla theatre presentations
attacking Dow were given outside
the auditorium before the program
began.
Muskie described the American
people as the most powerful estab-
lishment environmentalists have
to face and asked students to un-
dertake the challenge of "enlight-
ening them, motivating them and
getting them to act."/
Admitting that change within
the system is often slow, he said
that within his lifetime he has
seen attitudes change on issues

Muskie said he is concerned the
environmental issue does not be-

obscure the overall crisis of life
in America."
Recommending a "total strategy
to protect the total environment,"
the lanky senator ridiculed Presi-
dent Nixon's balanced budget as
"balancing" more funds for the
space program, arms research and
the supersonic transport than for
air pollution, housing and higher
education. '
Muskie adroitly handled ques-
tions, some of them unrelated to
the environmental issue, with
puckish humor and occasional
evasion for almost an hour.
A panel as diverse as the audi-
ence disagreed about the root
causes of pollution earlier during
the confused event.

Protest of
recruiter
cancelled
By W. E. SCHROCK
A demonstration called by Stu-
dents for a Democratic Society
to protest on-campus job recruit-
ing by 'Atlantic Richfield Co. fail-
ed to materialize yesterday, as the
recruiter did not hold interviews
with students.
According to engineering Prof.
John Young, director of the En-
gineerng Placement Service, the
recruiter was able to complete his
scheduled appointments with stu-
dents during his first visit gon
Thursday.
That visit had been marked by
the dumping of oil and feathers
on the floor and steps of the
West Engineering Bldg., where
the interviews were being held.
One student was arrested in that
incident.
Speaking during a noon rally
sponsored by Environmental Ac-
tion for Survival (ENACT), SDS
member Fred Miller called the
non-presence of the Atlantic-
Richfield recruiter "one long vic-
tory in a long struggle" which
SDS has proclaimed against cor'-
porations maintaining ties with
the University.
As part of this campaign SDS
has recently sponsored several
demonstrations against on-cam-
pus job recruiters. The radical or-
ganization maintains that the
corporations are imperialistic, ra-
cist, and are making a profit out
of U.S. military activities abroad,
particularly in Vietnam.
SDS members said their rea-
sons for opposing Atlantic Rich-
field were partially ecological.
SDS leaflets accused the com-
pany of promoting conditions
that could possibly "scar Alaska's
tundra and permanently destroy
the ecological balance of a mas-
sive region of Alaska."*
Theleaflets explained that the
dumping of oil and feathers sym-
bolized "what Atlantic-Richfield
stands for-oil and a destroyed
ecology."
The student arrested in Thurs-
day's incident was Tova Klein, '71.
She pleaded not guilty to a charge
of malicious destruction, a misde-
meanor, and was released on per-
sonal recognizance to face trial on
April 20 in District Court.
About 20 other persons have
been arrested during the recruiter
protests since they began in
January.

Nationwide bomb threats force
thousands to evacuate
By The Associated Press
Bomb hoaxes by the hundreds,
punctuated by a few actual blasts,
plagued cities in many parts of
the nation yesterday, apparently
the chain-reaction result of ex-
plosions earlier in the week on the
East Coast.
. Although there were no injuries
in any of these incidents, thou-
sands - among them, Secretary
of State William Rogers - were
forced to evacuate schools, fac-
tories, public buildings and sky-
scrapers while the premises were
searched for explosives.
Many of the anonymous bomb
threats appeared to be work of
psychopaths. But a New York City'
official also attributed the wave
of real and threatened violence to
militant youths and leftists "play-
ing with revolution."
About 300 persons were evacu-
ated from a building on the De-
troit campus of Wayne State Uni-
versity. A General Electric plant
in Newark and a New Jersey state
office building there were targets
of anonymous threats, as was
nearby Essex 'County College.
Police said an explosive device
destroyed a jewelry store, one of
22 shops in a suburban Pittsburgh
shopping mall. A blast ripped
through a night club in Washing-
ton, D.C., and authorities said it
could have been caused by a bomb,
although they did not rule out a
gas leak.
Three gasoline bombs went off
in a New York City high school,
buildings
and a fire at West High School in
Appleton, Wis. was attributed by
fire officials to incendiary devices
thrown through windows.
A bomb threat kept a Boeing 747
jet owned by Trans World Air-
lines on the ground in Los Angeles
while a search was undertaken.
The jet took off 90 minutes late
on a flight to New York. a
Secretary Rogers was forced to
vacate his Washington office
briefly when two teen-age boys
shouted at a guard that his state
department quarters harbored a
bomb. Rogers moved across the
hall to continue a conference he
was holding with several uniden-
tified persons.
In New York, phony bomb
threats came at the rate of almost
one every six minutes, and bomb
squad experts raced across thedcity
on an around-the-clock schedule.
For the fourth time in three
months, 1,000 persons were evacu-
ated from the 50-story General
Electric Co. headquarters on Lex-
ington Ave., and the street was
closed to traffic. It turned out
that a nervous tenant had mis-
taken a cleaning device for a
bomb. "We're pretty well drilled
here now. We evacuate a lot faster
than we used to," said one GE
employe.
New York's City Council Presi-
dent, Sanford Garelik, formerly
the top uniformed officer in the
police department, called the city
a battleground of "armed urban
guerrillas."

Robert Parsons, literary college Dean Wil-

with the present rule-making and disci-

various communities of interest between
students and faculty," Hays says.
In his view, these communities of in-
terest might be divided into three areas,
which can be summarized as follows:
" Rules which would govern what Hays
terms "behavior outside the academic set-
ting"-he said he was uncer ain what this
would cover-should be arrived at and en-
hearing board's rulings could be handled
by an all-student court, such as Central
Student Judiciary (CSJ).
9 Rules which would govern what Hays
calls "behavior in the academic setting"--
such as in the classroom-would be arrived
at and enforced by bodies with equal stu-
dent-faculty representation.
Currently, such rules are also contained
in the Faculty Code, which Hays says has
been in existence for a considerable period
of time.
