Informed sources say that Sheriff Douglas J. Harvey order- ed the communications broken off after the Dexter Village Board re- fused to fire Carl Koch, a part- time employe. Dexter Village President Floyd Layton said that radio communi- cations with the county were re- stored at 4 p.m. yesterday. There had been no radio contact since Monday at 8 p.m. Harvey reportedly told the vil- lage board he would break off communications if Kochrwere not fired. Koch, formerly a sergeant of the Sheriff's Department, was fired by Harvey March 5 for allegedly re- fusingto obey a direct order.

In the biggest uproar. at the University since the 1964 Free Speech Movement crisis, Moses Hall was held for 15 hours behind barricades of desks, chairs, files and assorted debris. SEI hits Splan for t When police broke up the dem- onstration two students and three policemen were slightly injured. Some 500 police took charge of the campus shortly before dawn in the third 'day of sit-in demonstra- tions demanding that the univer- sity give college credit for a lec- ture series by Black Panther lead- er Eldridge Cleaver. Demonstrators blocked paths with baricades and set small fires on them. Inside the building, ad- ministration center of the college of letters and sciences, dissidents unrolled toilet paper from upper windows and strung signs. The roar from an estimated 350 onlookers outside rose when hel- meted, gas mask-toting police marched into the 28,000-student campus. The demonstrators outside scat- tered and ran. Here and there police tangled physically with protesters. Male and female police entered Moses Hall and arrested the dis- ~.idents quitely. Those arrested were charged with disturbing the peace, malicious mischief and trespassing. Each was held on $1,650 bail. The hall they left behind was a cha- otic mess of stripped rooms, scat- tered records and garbage. Some secretaries who came to work at 8 a.m. broke down in tears. One of the onlookers was the university chancellor, Roger Heyns. % Dexter police car when the driver of the car, Dexter police- man Patrick Monaghan, stopped Sheriff's Deputy King Williams III and issued him a speeding ticket. Layton said Harvey objected to the issuance of the ticket but did not ask that the citation be re- scinded. However, Layton added that Williams later issued a per- sonal apology to Monaghan and that the ticket was subsequently rescinded. Harvey said the story given by Layton was untrue and "all twist- ed up." "They've still got their radio in their (Dexter) car and it's still operating," Harvey said before Layton reported the resumption of communications. The sheriff said he is "being picked on" because of the upcom- ing election. "This is just some more goddamn political crap," Harvey told the Ypsilanti Press. Layton's report of restored com- munications with the county came after the incident had been pub- licized in both the weekly Dexter Leader and in the Press. Koch, who was one of the ori- ginal organizers of a deputies un- ion Harvey was opposed to, claim- ed Harvey fired him without legi- timate cause. Koch testified be- fore the State Labor Mediation Board (SLMB) which later in- structed Harvey to rehire him and pay him back wages. Koch de- clined the offer to be rehired. Later, Koch filed a petition in Washtenaw County Circuit Court requesting a grand jury investiga- tion into alleged financial irregu- larities in the department. In addition to the financial ir- regularity charges, the grand jury petition filed by Koch accuses the sheriff of violating state law giving public employes the right to organize and bargain collec- tively in his his efforts to disband the Deputies Association.

SGCaccepts appropriation Council rejects conditions set by Newell for incorporation By NADINE COHODAS Acting Vice President for ~ Student Affairs Barbara Newell yesterday released the $100 appropriation with con- ditions to Student Government Council to form SGC Incor- porated. However, Council accepted the check and destroyed the attached letter stating the conditions. Wednesday evening, SGC had issued an ultimatum to Mrs. Newell giving her until 3 p.m. yesterday to release the money. The letter stating the conditions under which SGC must accept the money was attached to the check.

Students for Educational In- novation (SEI) issued a policy statement condemning the faculty action. "We want students to learn to initiate activities, not wait for faculty or administration to pre- sent viable alternatives to policies and programs." However, William Wolff, Grad,! chairman of the second group, in- sists that his organization has "no intention of competing with SEI." FORMATION The new group was formed in the secondary student teaching seminars by Profs. Herbert Eibler! and Donald Steer of the;education school. Fabler said he decided to "take the initiative in forming the group to see if there was a need for student communication in the seminars." Concrete plans, structure, and operation for the new group are all unclear due to its recent for- mation. Presently the group is evaluating the function of coun-' seling in the seminars. Wolff said the group plans to deal specifically with problems in the seminars. He feels that there would be no need to Join the moret encompassing SEI, but hopes his group will be able, to work with SEI in certain areas. STUDENT IDENTITY SEI's policy statement stresses the need for a student identity developed by the absence of fac- ulty in initiating, /organizing and, operating or a student group. By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ University Activities Center an- nounced last night the formula- tion of a committee, part of whose purpose is to come up with a plan that will eliminate "structural dis- crimination in UAC. The committee will undergo a thorough study of UAC's personnel policies and practices in the areas of recruitment, participation, and advancement up the organization- al hierarchy. An emphasis, how- ever, will be placed on eradication of anything potentially discrim- inatory in UAC's framework. The committee was formed in response to statements by rep- resentatives of the Pro Black Or- I , ! ganization claiming the method by wants to be considered for senior which a UAC member advances office submits a petition to theI in the organization could be dis- four outgoing senior officers, as criminatory, under certain condi- well as to the Union Board of Di- tions. rectors and to the League Board DISCRIMINATION of Governors. The senior officers Ron Thompson, chairman of the black group explains, "our basic! problem with UAC is its organ- izational set-up, which is discrim- inatory not just to black people' but to all people." Their chief con-j . cern is the fact that the four sen- ior officer positions, as well as thej 21 committee chairmanships, are' all appointive, Thoppson ex- plained. Ironically, the formulation ofj the comittee comes on the first night of Homecoming Weekend. Homecoming has been -the subject' of the recent controversy between' UAC and black organizations around the campus, during which' blacks charged that the Home- coming Queen contest was dis- criminatory. The dispute culminated in Kap-I then submit their recommenda- tions to the two boards, who make the actual appointments. The initial response of the exe- cutive council members to the proposal was one of doubt. Several felt that the outgoing senior of- ficers were the only people that were qualified to select the new officers. "The members below that level might choose unqualified of- ficers," said one council member. WISE JUDGMENT Thompson, however, feels that one of the duties of the current senior officers is to see that all UAC members become informed of what each job involves. "This would give them the knowledge needed to make a wise judgment when they vote," he explained. Mark Peterman, UAC co-ordin- ating vice president indicated that blacks do not seem interested in joining UAC. Community leaders give views on law, order, responsiveness See LETTER, Page 4 was "not one of incorporation but of transferring state funds." The letter states that "in de- laying delivery of the voucher for expenses in connection with establishing SGC, Inc., this office was not passing on the merits of incorporation itself. "The delay, rather, was to as- certain the accessibility of Univer- sity funds for SGC, Inc. I believe the issue of the autonomy or con- trol of state funds used by SGC or SGC, Inc. is now clear." The letter had stated that the $100 appropriation to form SGC Inc. is approvable "only if SGC recognizes that, in the absence of Regental delegation, it may not transfer funds from its University budget to the corporation." SGC president Mike Koeneke said at this time he would not speculate "when and where we're going to make another requisiton." Mrs. Newell originally blocked the appropriation Ict. 17, in a let- ter to Council Treasurer Dennis Webster. The Vice President then said she could not release the funds because of past Regental opposi- tion to the SGC's plans to incor- porate. She said she would need "considerably more explanation" before clearing the funds. During the week Council officers conferred several times with Mrs. Newel and her assistant, Will Smith, until yesterday's decisions was finally reached.

AUC triaql Circuit Court Judge William F. Agar Jr. has refused to assume "superintending control" in the trial of seven University students on trespass charges in Municipal Court. The students' defense attorney John B. Collins had requested the action following a dispute with Municipal Judge S. J. O'Brien during which Collins stormed out of the courtroom. Specifically, Collins requested a mistrial be declared and Elden be disqualified from heaTing the trial. The dispute arose over the seat- ing arrangements of the defend- ants. Elden ordered them to sit in assigned seats, while Collins de- manded they be permitted to sit in the spectator section of the courtroom. Collins felt prosecution wit- nesses should be required to pick out particular defendants from the audience rather than having to simply point to them in their assigned seats. Agar said he found no evidence Elden acted improperly and saw no reason for disqualifying him or declaring a mistrial. He said he knew of no instance in the history of his court in which a defendant in a criminal case has been permitted to sit at the rear of the courtroom. In a related action yesterday, the county prosecutor's office filed an answer to a petition from an- other lawyer who is definding 37 University students that their trials be moved from Municipal Court to the U.S. District Court in Detroit. The students' attorney, Williain' Goodman of the American Civil Liberties Union is claiming his clients' constitutional rights were violated when the trespass arrests were made because of racial pre- judice shown by sheriff's deputies, the county boardrof supervisors, and the prosecutor's office. In another of the demonstrators' trials, anMunicipal Court jury yes- terday took 23 minutes to find a 17-year-old University freshman guilty of criminal trespass. He is the 170th person to be found guilty or plead nol ocon- tendere (no contest) on the tres- pass charges. About 50 more per- sons arrested in the Sept. 5-6 dem- onstrations are still awaiting trial dates. By HAROLD ROSENTHAL In a friendly but serious discus- sion last night, prominent black and white members of the com- munity discussed law and order and the responsiveness of govern- ment to the black community. The discussion took place in a forum on "Conflict or Commun- ity" at the Ann Arbor High School, sponsored by the Ann Arbor Jaycees. Dr. Albert Wheeler, chairman of the Ann Arbor chapter of the NAACP, opened the meeting by saying that "There is a sheriff candidate in favor of law and or- der and people will Vote for him because he's going to keep niggers in their place.," UNAPPRECIATIVE He also claimed that the "com- L However, SEI does not rule out munity was unappreciative that it faculty consultation, which it hasn't had riots." views as an essential part of the "I'm a peaceful fellow, and I proper functioning of any such hate to see black folks killed," he group. added. Further he asserted that "if the pastors and reverends get too mil- itant, you hold back money on Sunday. You're not going to solve things by sticking your heads in the sand." George Lemble, the former pres- ident of the Ann Arbor Conser- vatives, spoke in favor of a stict concept of law and order. He said that "those who commit arson and riots must be sent to jail for sedi- tion." ATTACKS LIBERALS Lemble attacked the "peace at any price liberals" who he said are "so afraid of trouble that they give in on anything, even if it tramples on someone else." Lemble insisted that we "must stop calling every responsible leader an Uncle Tom. He claimed that there is "only one way to receive conflict and that is com- promise." Lemble also attacked the Ann Arbor Human Relations Commit- tee. "This committee has been the worst enemy of the blackkpeople," he said. "They always take the position that black is right and white is wrong." NOT SCARED Wheeler replied to Lemble's at- tacks, saying "Blacks ain't scared." However, he said, "You wiped out some Indians, and we know you'll wipe out some blacks." Chief Walter Krasny of the Ann Arbor Police Department followed Wheeler. "Laws make the govern- ment run," he said, "and without order you have chaos." He pointed out that "justice" often depends on which side of the decision you are on. Dr. W. Scott Westerman Jr., Superintendent of Schools in Ann Arbor also spoke in favor of the established order. "The I e g a 1 framework is now reasonably ade- quate to protect the right of citi- zens," said Westerman. He added thQ "11170 nn .n ir mir he -nr h responsive to the people. Rowry claimed that society "doesn't talk to oppressed blacks nor the majority of oppressed' whites."" Wheeler agreed with Rowry,' saying, "Whether conflict or com- munity exists depends on the ex- tent ,of self determination." He claimed that x "black folks on" boards and commissions aren't' black in their viewpoints." The present government "stifles . the' aspirations and goals of black folks and poor white folks." Also included in the forum was Arthur Gallagher, editor of the Ann Arbor, News. He emphasized the need of the news media to re- main objective in their reporting of civil rights incidents. because the questions the judging "The reason blacks don't join panel asked her were abusive and the UAC is that they think UAC's discriminatory."

Just like now. It was also the beginning of the last two weeks of the 1964 Presidential campaign - the race between Johnson and Gold- water. Today, the names are dif- ferent, the situation is much the same. However, four years ago, the mood of University students in- volved in national politics was completely different. Students for Staebler was the most ac- tive political organization on full time fo rthe last two weeks of the campaign. A McCarthy write-in cam- paign has found substantial sup- port in the University commun- ity, and, in fact, Ann Arbor has become the base for the state wide campaign. However, a recent ruling by state Attorney General Frank Kelley said the write-in v o t e s, which were to be cast in the form of stickers listing the names of electors pledged to McCarthy, would not be valid. The write-in effort is being continued despite the ruling, and the McCarthy backers are seeking a court order allowing the votes to be counted. The New Politics Party, on the ballot in Michigan for the first C o 11 e g e Young Republicans, and their Students for Nixon counterparts, have been work- ing steadily organizing in the community, and have planned a host of projects and events for the final two weeks drive, in- cluding: - a "bumper sticker blitz" at the football game tomorrow - A debate (arranged jointly with Young Democrats and New Politics) between Esch, and his opponents - Weston Vivian, the Democrat who Esch defeated two years ago, and Bert Gar- skoff, New Politics candidate. - A visit to Ann Arbor some- time next week by Senator Ed- mund Brooke, (R-Mass.). In addition, Young Republi- cans and Students for Nixon vention, the majority of the stu- dents now in one of these groups were McCarthy backers, and Students for McCarthy received actual and moral support from the Young Democrats. Since the nomination of Hum- phrey, the membership of Young Democrats has continued to fav- or McCarthy. A September pol- icy vote resulted in the adop- tion of the "no endorsement" policy which Young Dems cur- rently holds. The group h a s pledged its support to some local Democratic candidates, and has thrown itself into, the cam- paign on that level. Members in opposition to the 'no endorsement" policy, as well as unaffiliated Humphrey back- Pem methpred to form a sernarate Students for Humphrey was thus formed - a heterogenous grouping of Humphrey support- ers. Students supporting the Vice-President for completely different reasons work side by side. Zemach sees Humphrey as the lesser of two evils. "One of the three major candidates running now will be elected in Novem- ber, he said. In contrast, Frank Pearlmut- ter, activities coordinator of the group, has been a long-time backer of Humphrey. "Students must be made aware of Hum- phrey's consistent, non-compri- mising efforts to correct social ills we deplore so much," he said. DISAGREE Not all of the members of the :a f 4 :,..
