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."

Anstatement by Secretary of Defense Clark M. Clifford at a news conference Tuesday reported only one DMZ violation on Sa- turday, Nov. 9. Earlier yesterday, the number two man on the delegation of the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front - NLF - challenged the United States to come alone to the peace talks if Saigon refused to participate. "If Saigon does not send a dele- gation then the three parties - The National Liberation Front, North Vietnam and the United States must meet without delay to find a solution on the basis of the program put forward by the NLF," said the NLF official. RosenbDaur, Farrell, Keats also vietorious , BY NADINE COHODAS 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 Jurcisn, Mike Modelski, Doug Morris, artd Bruce Wilson, were defeated.

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. -,.

Fourth Ward Councilman John R. Hathaway agreed. "It's getting to the point now where some of my constituents are telling me 'Don't subsidize the buses any j longer, just appropriate a certain amount of money to each citizen to ride taxi cabs.' It's beginning to seem feasible." The council requested Clayton good contract with them, but its an expensive one." 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- ating on a two shift basis due to' overcrowding. Completion of a new high school next fall is ex- pected to relieve the tight situa- tion. At present however. the school day is spread over nearly 12 hours instead of six. The councilmen are finding themselves in a tough spot-the! bus service is becoming a financial albatross quickly, yet is still needed. 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 Michigan state legislature has ruled University residence halls sions between Myers and the University officials. 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 from the Student Facilities Fund Residential College Dean James Robertson has indicated he feels separation of support for housing and academic fa- cilities within the Residential College is "equitable in princi- ple." However he contends that int practice it is difficult to separate these expenses. He points out that the University presently pays for heat, light and power in By RICK PERLOFF Universities have made a bit- ter game of competing with one another for the best students, teaching fellows, and profes- sors.
