By STUART GANNES
Officials of the Bruin Lake Boy Scout camp called in
sheriff's deputies to prevent participants in the Voice SDS-
Student Government Council retreat from entering the
'campgrounds last night.
The retreat's organizers claimed a breach of contract
with local BSA officials.
Five Voice-SDS members who had arrived early for the
retreat were escorted off the camp by 11 police officers who
had massed on the camp's en-----------
trance in six patrol cars.
Retreat leaders had been warn-
ed earlier in the day that theB
national board of the BSA had
instructed local BSA officials to 0 0
cancel a previous agreement al-
lowing the groups to use the
campsite and its facilities this
weekend.

Organizers of the retreat sent
five representatives to the camp
in an attempt to speak with the
official who had arranged the
contract some weeks before. h
When they arrived at Bruinj
Lake they were followed overhead
by a police helicopter until the-
first patrol car arrived.
The deputy then asked them to:
leave the grounds immediately or

Members of the retreat group
protested this order, claiming
they had a valid contract with
the camp officials and had al-

school.
Hays, who has himself written
a statistics book, "Statistics for
Psychology," said the department
will be primarily concerned with
"mathematical" statistics.
OTHER COURSES CONTINUED
He said, though, that the de-
partmental courses now offering
statistics, such as bio-statistics,
"will continue to, be taught."
"We won't consolidate statistics
courses taught in other schools or
departments."
Statistics courses are presently
taught in the math, economics
and biology departments, as well
as in the schools of engineering
and .business administration.
. Hays said professors from the
math department will staff the
new department. "Vacancies have
been budgeted," he added.
"At the 'largest, the department
should have eight to ten faculty
members and about 150 students,"
the Dean said. "The emphasis will
be in the graduate field."
Hays said the idea for the
department "has been under dis-
cussion at the 'University for
about 20 years. It's more of an
organizational change than any-
thing else." I
SEEK CHAIRMAN
Prof. William Ericson of the
math department is one of eight
men assigned to a committee seek-
ing -a departmental chairman,
Ericson said a report with 12 re-
commendations for the post will
be submitted to Hays sometime
in September.-
Ericson explained the statistics
curriculum as one that "daws in-
ferences based on mathematical
theory." Hays said, "probability is
the background."
The math department is ten-
tatively scheduled to receive new
headquarters in the old adminis-
tration building (now called the
LS&A building), and Ericson said,
"The department should be in
close proximity."

BATTLE FOR CONTROL
When the gavel falls today, a
full-scale battle between "doves"
and "hawks" in the party is ex-
pected in the fight for party con-
trol. A Vietnam peace plank
drafted by part of the delegation
is likely to come to issue. Al-
though this platform proposal
never got to the floor, the older
delegates are expected to cite the
rebellion. Party leaders have al-
ready expressed the desire to un-
seat the liberal young state chair-
man, Sen. Sander Levin of Berk-
ley.
Other issues expected to draw
heated debate include a fight over
a loyalty oath to support the na-
tional ticket and a fight over
elections of new party officials.
