The Regents yesterday authorized the establishment of
a branch of the University Store at Bursley Hall, apparently
resolving a four-month-long altercation with residents of
the North Campus dorm.
After a lengthy discussion of the financial situation of
the year-old discount store, the Regents approved its expan-
sion to Bursley by a vote of 5-2.
At the same time, regental approval was given to an
increase in the store's inventory ceiling from $25,000 to
$40,000, despite the executive officers' recommendation that
the ceiling be limited to $30,000. The inventory ceiling is a
limit on the total value of
items stocked by the store at
any given time. I

The demonstrators had present-
ed a list of demands, based pri-
manly on one calling for rescind-
ing- the expulsion and other penal-
ties imposed for a previous demon-

MIT officials had earlier re-
jected all of the demands. Dr.
Paul Gray, the university's asso-
ciate provost, had told newsmen
the administration would "not
negotiate at the point of a gun."

Observatory
By ALEXA CANADY
The planned extension of Observatory St. through a
student residential area has caused a controversy over whether
city planners should give priority to easing situations for
people or cars.
The city planning commission's proposal, which wyould
connect Observatory to Forest Ave. in order to improve traffic
around the Medical Center, is opposed by a city councilman, a
Student Government Council officer and residents of the area
through which the proposed extension would pass.
Since this fall, some of the area's residents have been
attempting to stop the proposed extension, which was ap-
proved in a city referendum last year.'
Their efforts were bolstered on Aug. 4 when Councilman
Rooert Faber (D-Second Wa'rd) requested that the planning
commission re-evaluate the Observatory-Forest extension as
well as several other proposed road alignments.
"My major concern is to change the city's priorities from

"The need seemed to arise for
a way for youth to approach
Democratic leadership in a solidi-
fied manner," explains Shoichet.
"The only time youth gets any
say in the party is when it is needed
to work for candidates," Shoichet
says, adding that "most students
have their loyalties to individual
candidates rather than to the
youth issues of .the party." The
proposed caucus hopes to broaden
youth's participation in party af-
fairs.
"Students are disenfranchised,"
Shoichet maintains. "The basic
idea of the caucus is to give us a
voice."
The caucus has been given a
place on the convention floor, and
caucus rooms to meet in, but the
amount of speaking that caucus
members will do is unclear. Ac-
cording to convention rules, ex-
plained Jerry De Grieck, vice pres-
ident of YD's, only delegates can
speak, and delegates must be at
least 21 years old.
But Shoichet is quick to point
out that "we have no lack of elo-
cquent members over 21. "I've seen
