At a meeting Sunday night, the college also voted to send delegates 0 to yesterday's special Senate As- sembly meeting on campus plan- ning to support these demands. In addition, it voted to urge Senate Advisory\ Committee on University Affairs to set up a full Faculty Senate meeting to discuss the issue.: * However, the College did not send representatives to yesterday's Assembly meeting. "In the end we decided we couldn't accomplish what we wanted to at that meet- ing," said Prof. Richard Mann. The BAM demands include the, admission of 900 new black stu- dents to the University in 1971-72; and an increase in the proportion of black students to ten per cent of total student population by 1973-74. The Administration has pro- posed to double the number of "disadvantaged" students (the r majority of which are black) by 1973-74. In other action, Prof. Richard Mann reported on his mesting last Thursday with Vice President for Financial Affairs Wilbur Pierpont. Mann and other representatives of Radical College presented Pier- pont with their proposal to give students and faculty members proxy voting rights for University- owned stock. Mann described the meeting as "congenial-but of course it didn't get anywhere." Mann reported Pierpont said he would present the proposal to the Regents next week "if there is room on the agenda." Members of the College agreed that further action ought to be taken to obtain proxy voting rights, but no specific move was decided on. The Radical College did not vote to endorse a "counter-re- cruiter interview" to be staged by two College members in opposi- tion to the Lockheed Aircraft Co. recruiter who- will be on campus this Thursday and Friday. -Daily-Sara Krulwich Marchers confront Vice President Allan Sm ith Black faculty members back RAM demands; ask 'urgency' 45 profs arrested at Buffalo Sit in president's office in support of student strike BUFFALO (R-Police arrest- ed 45 faculty members at the State University of New York at Buffalo on criminal con- tempt charges Sunday after the professors refused to end a sit-in in the acting presi- dent's office. The professors were released yesterday on their own recogni- zance after they were charged with criminal contempt of a State Supreme Court injunction ban- ning campus violence. The demonstrators, who de- manded to see acting president Peter Regan, said they were in sympathy with the student strike, now over two weeks old, and said they objected to the presence of police on the campus. Regan was apparently not in the building at the time of the sit-in. A university official asked the group to leave Regan's office, po- lice said, but all but four refused to go. Campus police then arrested the remaining 45 and removed them without resistance. According to the Buffalo police commissioner, there are currently 315 police on the campus. Regan had called the police on campus March 9 to act in a "preventative fashion" to protect the university community against vandalism. However, the strike began as a result of a battle Feb. 25 when students confronted police after isolated incidents of vandalism following a demonstration called by the Black Students Union to protest alleged discriminatory pol- icies by the athletic department against minority 'group athletes. The clash resulted in 17 arrests. At a university convocation March 2, several thousand stu- dents approved the removal of ROTC programs from the cam- pus, an open admissions policy, removal of Defense Department projects from the campus and Re- gan's removal. Picket lines, building occupa- tions and mass meetings occurred all last week in violation of a tem- porary restraining order Regan obtained March 5. He subsequent- ly suspended 20 students for vio- lations of the injunctions and other infractions of the university regulations dating back to October. and SGC. -Associated Press Calhondian protest Cambodian students display an anti-North Vietnamese placard during a demonstration yesterday in Phnom Penh. THREE-DAY ACTION: New' Mobe sponsors anti-raft workshops By JIM McFERSON Radical groups plan intensive protests this week on the issues of the draft, racism and American involvement' in Vietnam, to culminate Thursday in a massive demonstration in People's Plaza coinciding with the presentation of demands by the Black Action Movement (BAM) to the Regents. Leading up to the mass action will be workshops on the draft all day Tuesday and pro- By ROB BIER A group of black faculty and staff members expressed support last night for Black Action Move- ment (BAM) demands for in- creased black enrollment and sup- portive services, and called on the University- administration to "re- spond to the BAM proposal with urgency.". The group said they were "greatly disturbed at the impend- ing impasse. between the Univer- sity administration and the Black Action Movement." The group called on the Uni- versity to provide adequate finan- cial aid to all black students who require it. The 31 signers of the statement suggested that the ad- ministration separate financial matters and admission policy in its discussions, and urged thead- ministration to respond to each BAM demand individually. The statement suggested the formation of a "Financial Task Force" which would attempt to find sources of money within the University which could be used for the support of black students. The committee, said the state- ment, would be composed of black staff and students. In referring to the issues of ad- missions criteria and money mat- ters, the group said, "It is un- fortunate that the administration has always sought to deal with these issues jointly." Earlier in the evening, literary college Dean William Hays met with BAM representatives to dis- cuss the demands. "Not much happened," said BAM member Darryl Gorman. "But Hays said that they would try to get their own supportive services program going." Counseling, tutoring and other supportive services are key among BAM demands. These aim at help- ing students from poor high -schools and ghetto neighborhoods to adjust to the University's aca- demic and social environment. Mutineers granted asylum Cambodia aids ammunition ship hijackers From Wire service Reports The Cambodian government has notified the United States that it has granted asylum to two Americans who apparent- ly hijacked the American am- munition c a r r i e r Columbia Eagle, the State Department reported yesterday. Diplomatic efforts were continu- ing to obtain the release of the freighter and 13 crewmen remain- ing aboard. The Cambodians said that after removing the two men requesting asylum they would decide I a t e r about the disposition of the freigh- ter with its cargo of 34,000 tons of bombs bound for Thailand and the remaining crew members on board. Sen. Mark O. Hatfield, R-Ore., said last night he had learned the two alleged mutineers are Clyde McKay of Escondido, Calif., an d Alvin Glatkowski of Long Beach, Calif. A spokesman for Hatfield said the men were signed on as crew members at Long Beach. In talks to the Defense Depart- ment and Irving Thayer, president of the Columbia Steamship Co. of Portland, which owns the ship, Hatfield's aide- said it had also been learned that nine U.S. ships have now moved into the area, standing by in international wat- ers. The Hatfield spokesman char- acterized the apparent hijacking as a protest of the Vietnam war. "They threatened the ship as a war protest," he said. State Department press officer Robert McCloskey said "We're not charging anyone with mutiny. I want to be clear on that." He said in response to a question that "we have no extradition treaty with Cambodia." Twenty-four civilian seamen who were set adrift in two lifeboats when the apparent mutiny oc- curred over the weekend were re- ported in good shape by another American freighter which picked them up, the Rappahannock. Precisely, what happened was not clear, in part because the Pen- tagon withheld some of the mes- sages sent by the Columbia Eagle. This was done, Friedman said, to protect the crew. T As strike at Madison MADISON (IP)-Some 800 teach- ing assistants went on strike at the University of Wisconsin yes- terday, vowing to "shut the school down" if the university adminis- tration fails to agree to contract demands. The striking teaching assistant union at Madison represents about half of the university's 1900 TAs. The union is demanding guaran- teed employment for TAs until they complete graduate work, a health care plan, and workload limitations.

The march was sponsored by the Coalition to Support BAM, an ad hoc group composed of several student organiza- tions including the Student Mobilization Committee, New Mobilization Committee, Tenants Union, SDS, Lawyers Guild and SGC.

All these actions are part of a national anti- draft protest sponsored by New Mobe and locally, by a coalition of several student or- ganizations. The schedule of protests a n d the route of the march which will precede Thursday's protest w e r e disclosed at a press conference of the Anti-draft coalition yesterday. In addition, support of the BAM demands was announced as an in- tegral part of the three-day ac- tion. "We are united because we have a common enemy - those who continue the war in Vietnam, the draft and racism," said Marty Hal- pern of New Mobe. "We are fight- ing the racist forces of the Nixon Administration." Just as students in Ann Arbor are varying their tactics and is- sues to suit the local political cli- mate, so are other anti-war groups across the country making use of various issues in their actions un- der the umbrella of anti-draft pro- tests. Pickets lines at the business places of draft board members, massive write-in campaigns design- ed to swamp draft boards with mail, boycotts of high schools, sit- ins, educational leafleting c a m- paigns, and a coffin of draft cards in front of the national Selective Service headquarters are planned. Even yesterday, protests such as marches, sit-ins, and fake bomb threats kicked off the anti-draft demonstrations, which New Mobe hopes will end in massive protests impeding the work of draft boards nation-wide.
