All 244 protesters arrested last
Thursday and Friday during sit.-
C ins at the Washtenaw County
Bldg. were arraigned yesterday by
Ann Arbor Municipal Court Judge
Samuel Elden.
Most of the demonstrators, all
of whom are charged with tresa-
passing, stood mute at the ar-'
raignment. The rest entered a plea
of guilty. Those few will appear
for sentencing Oct. 2.
Everone arrested, if convicted,
will face penalties of up to 30
days in the county jail and a $50
fine or both.
The trial date for the majority
that stood mute will be set on
Sept. 20.
r Despite considerable pressure
from local leaders, neither the
Board of Supervisors nor County
Prosecutor William Delhey made
any move yesterday toward drop-
ping the charges.
In other court matters re-
lated to the demonstrations by
county welfare mothers and their

Union and University negotiators met until midnight last
night in an apparently successful attempt to avert a strike
by Local 1583 of the American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employes (AFSCME).
Although union officials were unavailable for comment,
chief University negotiator James Thiry said last night, "A
strike does not seem imminent. There was noindication at
the meeting that a strike would take place."
Thiry said the University will resume negotiations with
the union at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow. They plan to continue
meeting into the evening and on Friday, he added.

Graduate and professional school "over-
admission" policies .have obscured, at least
temporarily, the dire effects the new draft
law may have had on graduate school en-
rollments.
The problem at the University 'is poten-
tially very acute, for a large portion of the
teaching of undergraduate courses is done
by graduate teaching fellows, many of whom
are now draft-eligible.
The effects of the new law have been
slight so far-at least on the surface. Assis-
tant Dean Byron Groesbeck of the graduate
school says preliminary enrollment figures
for his school are only "slightly down" from
this time last year.
However, this was accomplished only by a
nonio nf "ner-amitance. " Mnre annlicant
counted for a larger proportion this year
than usual.
Groesbeck emphasized that the school had
by no means lowered its admissions stand-
ards, but merely had admitted more of the
qualified applicants.
The law school adopted a similar policy
of "over-admission" for this term. It has also
paid off in compensating for the effect of
the draft.
Pat McCauley, Law School admissions of-
ficer, said the freshman law class is slight-
ly overenrolled, but he expects this to be
only a temporary condition. He said several
students have already had their pre-induc-
tion physicals, the final step before being
drafted.
Even if the current figure does not drop,
McCauley said, ,the facilities of the Law
mScholae ,ta n tl xbe to na nden the
If the stay was refused on basis of the
letter alone, Groesbeck said, the school would
enter the picture and support the student's
position at the state selective service direc-
tor's level.
Groesbeck explained that directives issued
by national draft director Lt. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey led to the belief that this procedure
would help obtain a stay. Groesbeck said
this action has not been necessary yet.
He said that in case a teaching fellow is
called, the appropriate department chair-
man will be asked, to defend the student at
the state level.
Last April, Hershey ruled that graduate
students could not qualify for occupational
deferments just because they were part-
time teachers. But there was nothing to stop
a full-time teacher, occupationally deferred,
