WASHINGTON (R) - The United States issued a new
warning yesterday that "serious talks" could not be conducted
with North Vietnam if the demilitarized zone dividing North
and South Vietnam were violated by North Vietnamese at-
tacks from the zone on allied forces.
A statement, authorized by Undersecretary of State Ni-
cholas -Katzenbach and cleared at the highest White House
level, emphasized "the serious view we take of the verified
instances since Nov. 9 in which North Vietnamese forces fired
on allied forces south of the DMZ from positions within the
DMZ."

Students defeated the Student Government Council
referendum yesterday which allows students to determine
the per capita funding of Council. The 6,438 voters also
elected six candidates to fill the vacant at-large seats on
Council.
Taking SGC positions are Larry Deitch, Mike Farrell,
Roger Keats, Mary Livingston, Howard Miller, and Mark
Rosenbaum. They will be formally seated at tonight's meet-
ing.
The other six candidates, Jack Brand, Bill Eldridge, Dale

The Regents will vote Friday on
a proposal supporting Panhellenic
Association's move to eliminate
discriminatory pledging practices.
The proposal accepts Panhel's
finding that sororities' binding
and required recommendations
may be in violation of regents'
Bylaw 2.14 whidh prohibits dis-
crimination in student organiza,-
tion membership on the basis of
race, creed, religion, or national
organization.
"What we're trying to do is to
tell the national organizations of
the sororities that the University
backs Panhel in their actions,"
Mrs. Barbara Newell, acting vice
president for student services said
yesterday. Mrs. Newell will pre-
sent the proposals to the Regents,
Several nationals have pres-
sured local chapters not, to co-
operate with Panhel concerning
the organization's regulation of
pledging activities because na-
tionafs question Panhel's author-
ity to establish regulations.
On October 17, Panhel passed
a motion requiring all sororities
still using a system of binding or
required alumnae recommenda-
tions on prospective members to
keep those recommendations on
file with Panhel's membership
committee.
Binding recommendations give
alumna veto power over the ad-
mission of any new members to
the sorority. Required recom-
mendations make it necessary for
the sorority to obtain the approv-
al of at least one alumna of the
sorority for each prospective new
member.
The proposal would clarify the
University's role in the event that
any sorority was thrown out of
Panhel because it refused to
comply with Panhel's regulations
on discrimination.

1 Clayton emphasized another
reason for the unexpectedly high
cost of the system so far: The
bus system not only serves the
city in general, but also povides
transportation for nearly 1500 Ann
Arbor school children.
This year. for the first time,
Ann Arbor High School is oper-

overcrowding. Completion of a
new high school next fall is ex-

Regents hearing to discuss
R C financing methods
Rackham
initiates exchange
By JILL CRABTREE
A Regental decision to use
$3 million in residence hall re-
venues to renovate East Quad-
rangle for Residential College
use will come under fire today in
a public hearing.
The hearing, to be held in
the Regents' room of the new
Administration Bldg. at 2 p.m.,
was requested by Jack Myers,
president of Inter-House Assem-
bly.
Myers objects to funding the
renovation solely from dormi-
tory revenues because the crea-
tion of academic facilties -
classrooms, faculty office space
and auditoriums - are includ-
ed in renovation plans.
He has proposed to the Re-
gents that funds for RC aca-
rangle or Alice Lloyd Hall called
for by the present financing
plan.
"This hopefully will free money
for use to begin work on ap-
proximately $3.5 million worth
of delayed maintenance, modifi-
cations and improvements ur-
gently needed throughout the
residence halls to maintain the
status quo," Myers says.
University Housing Director
John C. Feldkamp denies in-
sufficient funds have been re-
served by the Housing Office for
upkeep on other housing facili-
ties besides East Quad.r
University housing and fin-
ance officials have objected to
Myer's proposal because t h e

Feldkamp says the direct
pledging of fee money to the
RC would be "unwise at this
time." He points out that $500,-
000 of general fee money is al-
ready pledged to the college un-
der the present financing plan
