The instructions sent to Secre-
tary of Defense -Melvin R. Laird
were among 14 sets of directives
Nixon dispatched to eight govern-
ment agencies seeking advice and
recommendations o n subjects
ranging from interest rite ceil-
ings to the future of the super-I
sonic transport program.
TheWhite House announcement
said Laird "was advised of the
President's conviction that an all
volunteer armed force be estab-
lished after the expenditure for
Vietnam are substantially reduced,
and was requested, to plan a spe-
cial commission to. develop a de-
tailed plan of action for ending
the draft.'"
White House press secretary
Ronald L. Ziegler said Nixon is
"moving ahead on developing his
thoughts and getting further rec-
ommendatidns" on his proposal
that the Selective Service System
eventually be eliminated.

said the draft is not an efficient
system for obtaining manpower in
a time when conventional war is
unlikely. He said if war comes in
the future it is more likely to be
guerrilla or a nuclear exchange.
Nixon said last Oct. 17 that the
total cost of pay raises needed to
atract an all volunteer army would
be $5 billion to $7 billion a year,
but he said this would bedincreas-
ingly offset by savings due to a
reduction in the turnover of mili-
tary manpower.
In another followup to his cam-
paign, Nixon told the men who will
direct his planned assault on
crime that "no index of the suc-
ces of this administration will be
more closely watched" than the
drive for law and order.
"There's never been a time in
this nation's history when m o r e
Americans were concerned about
law enforcement," Nixon told
some 200 officials and employes of
the Department of Justice.

White House already has an-
nounced the new administration
will ask Congress for more money
for law enforcement.
"No index of the success of this
administration will be more close-
ly watched than the conduct of
the Departme.t of Justice in t h e
enforcement of law and order,"
he said.
It was Nixon's third stop in a
series of visits to Cabinet agen-
cies which he said will continue
over the next two to. three weeks.
He previously had visited the De-
fense and the State departments.

we won't have any way to do any-
thing," he said.
" After 5 p.m. the participants
should have the autonomy to de-
cide what further action is taken,"
I said Paul Ritvo, '71.
Jim Buzonik, '71, argued against
continuation of the demonstrat-
tion. "The only legitimacy was that
Monday's mass meeting voted for
the sit-in," he said. "After 5 p.m.
we lose the legitimacy the meeting
gave us."
John Willoughby, '71, proposed
the protest take the form of a
vigil. "There should be some sym-
bolic type of sit-in over the week-
end," he said.
Earlier, participants in the sit-
in sent representatives to the liter-
ary college curriculum committee
which was holding a closed execu-
tive session to consider 1a plan for
restructing of the committee sub-
mitted by Hays.
Eight representatives of the
protesting group demanded equal
student voting representation on
the committee.

Hays' proposal called for the
inclusion of an unspecified number
of students on the committee.
After the committee meeting,
the students went to the college
faculty meeting in Aud. A. There
they demanded student control
over decisions which affect stu-
dents.
Participants in the sit-in had
instructed their representatives to
enter the faculty meeting only if
it was thrown open. The repre-
sentatives waited outside for
abot.t one hour before the faculty
opened the meeting.
