STUDENTS ANGRY:
Probe reaction

"
varies,
By JIM NEUBACHER
A resolution passed Monday b
the state Senate authorizing
special investigation of "subversive
groups" and "campus disorders'
brought mixed reaction here yes-
terday.
Almost everyone said it was to
early to tell just what the natur
of the investigation was going tc
be.
Gov. William Milliken said the
investigation must be conducted
with the "greatest care and the
greatest concern."
Milliken said he shared the
concern of the Senate to assure
an "educational atmosphere that
is conducive to the whole process
of learning." He called criticisir
of the committee "premature."
University President Robben W.
Fleming said last night he be-
lieved the committee "would per-
form a useful function if it
genuinely tries to learn and tC
understand the nature and causes
of the unrest."
The resolution gives the commit-
tee the job of studying:

disorders, or the possibility of
criminal conspiracies on university

Committee on
housingto ask
dorm. fee . hike
By GEORGE MILLER
A committee of the Office of University Housing is
expected to recommend Friday an increase in residence hall
rates ranging from $30 to $50 per resident.
The suggested increase was blamed on rising food costs,
wages, and water prices, as well as the necessity for con-
tinuing dormitory improvements and constructing new
housing.
After the committee issues its report, the Student Ad-
visory Committee on Housing, the Board of Governors of
Residence Halls, IHA, and University housing officials will
I consider it.
Utimately, Vice President for Student Affairs Barbara
Newell and the Regents will determine if there will be a
fee increase.
The Regents traditionally have
acted on the residence hall rates
at their July meeting, but Edward e
Salowitz, associate housing direc- I
tor, hopes they will consider the
matter' before the winter term ,o Ik eep
ends in April.

Students told
no danger
of evictions
By JIM BEATTIE
A group of law students and or-
ganizers from the Ann Arbor
Rent Strike assured tenants of
Albert Terrace last night that
they would be in virtually no
danger of being evicted or sued
for damages if they withheld
their rent.
Some 30 tenants from about as
many apartments listened to the
students discuss the legal impli-
cations of joining the rent strike.
Organizers figured they reach-
ed about 100 tenants through
roommates of the tenants who at-
tended the meeting.
"The new Michigan law pro-
tecting tenants from retaliatory
eviction is perhaps the best in the
country," one law student said,
"We think we can use it to both
4 protect the tenants and delay
court convictions long enough to
make the strike successful."
The group at Albert Terrace last
night was one of eleven which are
discussing the strike with tenants.
The organizers informed the
tenants, many of whom were stu-
dents, that rents cannot be as-
sessed against their parents since
housing is considered a necessity
and can be purchased by minors.

The committee will also recom-
mend that SGC urge the Univer-
sity to provide the legislators, with
the complete version of the Uni-
versity's proposed budget. Cur-
rently, only an abbreviated ver-
sion isbeing prepared.
Miller said several legislators,
including Rep. George F. Mont-
gomery (D-Detroit) and Sen.
Garland Lane (D-Flint) "seem to
think the University has in the!

tee, but only to give them a per-

"I don't think you need to be

later this week to decide its first
move.
