From Wire Service Reports
The Columbia University fac-
ulty yesterday approved a mod-
erate proposal for regulating cam-
pus demonstrations and recom-
mended the formation of a Uni-
versity Senate which would, for
the first time, give students a
voice in the school's decision-
making.
In a close vote, however, the
faculty declined to recommend
amnesty for some 30 students still
on suspension as a result of the
uprising at Columbia last spring.

By LESLIE WAYNE
The controversial reorganization of Student Government
Council, contemplated for the past two years, came before
council last night as two proposals to restructure student
government were introduced.
A motion submitted by E. O. Knowles called for the dis-
enfranchisement of ex-officio members.
The second motion, sponsored by Administrative Vice
President Robert Neff and Gayle Rubin, member at large,
asks the dissolution of the council.
Both motions will be voted on by SGC at its meeting next

After each mother goes over the
list with her caseworker she is
issued "clothing orders" for the
items she needs. Miss Mudie said
that the orders are accepted as
payment for clothing at most of
the stores in Washtenaw County.
"As far as I know, only one store,
has refused to accept the orders,";
she added, "and we told all the
mothers not to shop at that one
any more. We don't think any
other stores will give us trouble."

University officials are still waiting for
the final version of a state report examining
and criticizing the University's accounting
and auditing methods. A preliminary state-
ment of 85 pages released late last February
by the State Auditor General's Office blasted
University auditing procedures which it
claimed "resulted in an overstatement of ex-
penditures and an understatement of avail-
able cash."
The final version of the report was orig-
inally expected to be released sometime last
April or early May.
Two of the basic charges made in the pre-
liminary report revolve around designation
and handling of certain University funds.

ommended in the preliminary report that
gifts to the University be used to reduce

Dave Mangan, chairman of the
group explained two ways in
which McCarthy's name could be
written in on a Michigan ballot.
Voters can either place a sticker
to the University in the form of a gift if the
donor knew that the state would simply ;
counteract the gift by reducing the amount
of iunds elsewhere.
The second basic charge made by Lee in
the preliminary report concerned accounting
practices in connection with federal research
projects. When the University accepts a con-
tract with the federal government to carry
out a research project, the federal govern-
ment agrees to pay monies for direct costs
of the project, such as salaries of researchers,
telephone bills, and materials, and monies
for indirect "overhead" costs such as heat,
light, power, maintenance and janitorial
service.
These payments are made in accordance
with strict guidelines agreed upon by the
University and the government before the
contract is signed.
In addition to these funds, the government

He went on urging students not
to fall into the politics of an-
