ADVISORS
The advisors, who will be large-
ly responsible for recommending
that a degree be awarded or with-
held, will include at least on e
member of the University faculty,
and may include a grad student
' or a person not associated with
the University, if he is particular-
ly qualified to assist the student in
his chosen concentration.
Subcommittee chairman Peter
Jepsen emphasized that the pros-
pectus need not be a rigidly ad-
hered-to schedule of courses, and
can be revised (with the advisors'
assistance) without being resub-
mitted to the committee. A new
propspecus must be submitted
} only if the student wishes to aban-
don the original independent ma-
jor for another.
Committee member Prof. Carl
| Cohen indicated that the com-
mittee will seek to arrange some
' provision for crediting concentra-
tion work performed outside the
University. Cohen also said that
qualified independent concentra-
tors may graduate with honors.
TWENTY MEMBERS
Committee member Bill Chris-
> tian anticipated that about twenty
of the RC's 170 sophomores will
take advantage of the individual
concentration option.
Both Christian and Cohen have
said that a unifying motif will be
an indispensable criterion for ac-
ceptance of a prospectus. The
structure of the proposed concen-
tration program will not be a
major influence on the commit-
tee's decision. "We will be tough

Eleven Detroit youths, described by p o l i c e as "hippy
types," were arrested yesterday and charged with conspiring
to bomb public facilities in the Detroit metropolitan area.
The arrests followed an investigation by 40 to 50 police
and FBI agents of 16 dynamite bombings since Aug. 30, in-
cluding two in Ann Arbor -/a C.I.A. office on Main Street
and the 'University's Institute for Science and Technology.
, Although the two local bombings were not listed in the
charges against the defendants, Ann Arbor Police Chief
Walter Krasny said yesterday "it appears the incidents are
related."
Krasny said warrants would be sought in Washtenaw
County if the Ann Arbor bombings proved to be related to the
alleged conspiracy. No local.-

Health care is a human right-not a
privilege.
This is the basic precept towards which
the Student Health Organization (SHO),
directs its work.
The organization was spawned from the
Medical Committee for Human Rights,
a Chicago based organization, and ex-
ists today as a coalition of locally auto-
nomous groups with only tenuous na-
tional coordination.
SHO Mere at the University devotes
itself to upgrading health service in the

sibility of SHO members, who "keep
an eye" on the patients.
SHO has begun to assert itself in the
fields of medical education and training
here. Before med school applications for
the entering class of 1969 are reviewed,
the group plans to present a demand to
the medical school board of admissions
asking that one-third of its admissions
be blacks.
In addition, the organization wants the
medical school to begin programs of
active recruitment of potential black stu-
dents. And where applicants do not ful-
eill the requirements of the school,

The local Chicago chapter set up first
aid stations around the city, and out of
town chapters sent men in order to help
run the shelters.
Mobile medical teams patrolled the riot
area. SHO estimates that its 400 person-
nel treated approximately 1,000 civilians
and a very few policemen. "For the most
part," Krouskop said, "we treated injuries
that would otherwise have been taken
care of in hospital emergency rooms."
"Although the police had promised us

in medical coats were beaten, and were

he added.
The resolution was passed in
response to an income limitation
policy drafted by the Student Ad-
visory Committee on Housing.
This policy sets guides for filling
the University's existing low cost
married student housing, which is
in high demand.
A married studein's effective in-

from his course of income, in-
cluding 20 per cent of "savings or

Expenses are computed on the
basis of students' fixed costs, plus
