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 T . picIkietsII-S deferments since 1967. 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 DA II n fathers who had been granted graduate draft deferments since 1967.

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.

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. He urged, the audience to op- pose efforts to develop oil re- sources in Alaska's North Slope, claiming such development would upset the delicate balance of na- ture there. nasium, where a closed-circuit 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 such as abortion. "You have to have a little pati- ence to sell your ideas," he con- tinued. "I'll listen to you and ac- cept some of your ideas and I hope you'll listen and accept some. of mine. Muskie said he is concerned the environmental issue does not be- come "a smoke-screen that will 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. Reuther, Doan, author Murray Bookchin, population expert Ans- ley Coale, moderator Morton Dow of Prudential Insurance Co., eco- logist Lamont Cole / and natural resources Prof. John Bardach each gave individual presentations and fielded questions from the audi- ence. Doan, who was interrupted sev- aral times by members of the audience, said that technology is necessary to our 'standard of liv- ing. "We have opened Pandora's box and cannot close it," he said. During the question session, Doan avoided comment on charges that Dow herbicides are being used to defoliate Vietnam by asking Reuther if auto-workers would stop making cars which produce See 2500, Page 8< 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. n 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."

Currently, such rules are also contained in the Faculty Code, which Hays says has been in existence for a considerable period of time.
