A direct confrontation between leaders of the two war-
ring factions of Voice-SDS failed to materialize last night
at the organization's third meeting of the year.
Arguments concerning the basic differences between the
"Radical Caucus" and the dissident "Jesse James Gang" oc-
casionally surfaced in discussion of specific programs and
actions. However, resolution of the conflict which arose at
last week's meeting was not attained.

FLINT -Presidential candidate "
George C. Wallace swept through *
the state yesterday drawing the f
largest crowds of any presidential *
contender to date.
More than 11,000 supporters
crowded the Flint Atwood Sta-
dium last night as factories in theK:'
Flint' area were reportedly shut-
ting down because of a lack of
workers who were apparently at-
tending the rallies.
Earlier, 12,000 in Grand Rapids
listened to the former Alabama
governor lambast the Supreme
Court; 6,000 jammed the east
grounds of the state house in
S Lansing as he defied Gov. George
Romney's refusal to host him dur-
ing his tour; and 6,000 greeted
him at Kalamazoo as he told a
bearded protester, "You'd better
have your say now, because when
I become president you will be all
through in this country."
Throughout the state he re-
ceived warm welcomes, except in
Kalamazoo where a large portion
of the 6.000 in the crowd, jeered
him.
Capping his stormy, one-day
tour of the state, the American
Independent Party candidate told
ere the Flint audience last night, "The
tee Kerner Commission report says
rd that our society is sick, that the
ers American people are sick. Well,

eir Court in Washington that's sick!"

Although it is believed dynamite was the explosive that
wrecked between $4,000 and $7,000 worth of building equip-

firmly established.
In the absence of Police Chief Walter Krasny, who left
town yesterday, Senior Capt. Harold Olson is coordinating
the local investigation. In addition, an FBI agent from Wash-

Consider new OSA

By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN
Acting Vice President for Student Affairs
Barbara Newell is moving ahead with plans
which would fulfill much of the spirit-if
not the letter--of the Hatcher Commission
report.
The Hatcher Commission report com-
pleted last March urged increased participa-
tion of students in the office, including the
formation of a student-controlled "Executive
Board" which would assist the vice president
and act as the office's policy making group.
Mrs. Newell's plans include the creation
of a network of "operating committees"
which would assist the directors of the nine
divisions of the Office of Student Affairs
in navrina' nut the funtion of their dep.
heavily on Faculty Assembly's Student Re-
lations Committee (SRC) for advice on po-
licy decisions of the office.
At present, for example, SRC is consider-
ing the problems of the use of the Univer-
sity's bail fund and of the maintenance and
use of OSA records.
Though essentially a faculty group, SRC
includes representatives of Student Govern-
ment Council and Graduate Assembly, None-
theless, Mrs. Newell expects to initiate
further contact with students through con-
sultations with a student advisory com-
