The resolution, passed by a large majority, also pledged encourage- ment to chapters and draft resist- ance unions to aid servicemen by providing information about con- scientious objection and the war in Vietnam. The plenary session reconvened at 10 a.m. to discuss proposals concerning relations with hippy and civil rights groups. A resolution carrying a large majority stated: "That SDS en- dorse and participate in a Provo Conference-Tribal Gathering to be held in early September or late November of this fall." Provo, a group residing chiefly in Amsterdam, was characterized in an article in New Left Notes- a radical newspaper published by SDS-as: "having no thought of being a political party-plus orga- nization, plus ideology. It is effec- tive precisely because it is form- less, fluid and unpredictable. ..." The article goes on to note that "Provo's aim is to provoke everyone who is not already a Provo, particularly the function- aries of the, state. The struggle against authority, the struggle for more freedoms, is more important than any conception of class The Middle-East War ques- tion was discussed at length during the Wednesday work- shop of the National Conven- tion of Students for a Demo- cratic Society.

The workshop did, however, pro- pose a resolution condemning the United States, Russia, Britain and France for imper- ialistic intervention in the Middle East situation. struggle.

Gen. Alfredo Ovando Candia said Guevara was directing a guerrilla movement "of international character." He said they "propose a political change in Latin America." Asked what proof he had of Guevaras presence in the country, Ovando said there were statements from various "witnesses" and from Regis Debray, a French writer under arrest on charges of collaborating with the guerrillas. BUFFALO, N.Y.-Three nights of racial violence ebbed for a. time last night, then flared slightly on this city's lower East Side, The 500 shotgun armed police men detailed to keep an eye on the area were being held on the fringe of 'the mile square sector. Their withdrawal had been demanded by Negroes. As the evening wore on, with temperatures in the low 70s, scattered reports of rock-and bottle throwing filtered to the police command post. At Jefferson Avenue and Ferry Street, police used tear gas to disperse a crowd that had gathered. Then, dozens of police marched south on the avenue waving shotguns and ordering people off the street. YEHUDI MENUHUIN and the Bath Festival Orchestra will be featured at an extra Fair Lane Concert on the Dearborn campus Saturday night, July 15. Tickets from the rained-out June 11 afternoon concert will be honored. Menuhuin and the orchestra will also appear on Sunday July 16. In an effort to pledge support for "black groups defending their communities against police at- tacks" the convention passed a resolution which included several courses of action to be taken. They include: prior to and when rebel- lions occur, leafletting in white communities explaining the facts behind the rebellion and pointing out the common interests of blacks and oppressed whites; sympathy demonstrations at police precincts, and on campuses; legal and finan- cial aid to be given to the groups; and research into the nature of police departments. After this dicussion, Theophilus Smith, an organizer for the Stu- dent Non-Violent Co-ordinating Committee in Alabama gave a brief presentation of the goals and policies of his organization. "SNCC is no longer a civil rights group but is now fighting for human rights," commented Smith. Ac- cording to Smith, SNCC is in the process of creating a liberation school to give people a black con- ciousness. It is felt that the re- education is essential to the masses. The session as a part of a labor resolution supported the efforts of the farm-workets of Rio Grande City, Texas, in their wage strike against the land-holders of Starr County, and a boycott of Starr County produce, which is nationally distributed. SDS fur- ther backed boycott of Levi Strauss, Inc., of Blueridge, Tenn- esee. The delegates then turned from labor questions to a major con- stitutional amendment, designed to distribute work more evenly among the National Officers and. Staff, and to eliminate the pos- siblity of a member seeking office for the sake of its title. The three secretaries and the eight national officers-at-large will be elected by the convention. The membership requirement for officers remains two months. After final agreement on the amendment was reached, Mike Spiegal, Harvard SDS member, was voted first national secretary; election figures were ndt released. Spiegal declined to make a policy statement at this time. mittee yesterday removed a pro- vision from the higher education appropriations bill which were in- tended to force a hike in non- resident tuition. The committee al- so restored the education appro- priation at the level recommended by Romney. The Senate, however, must con- cur in the conference committee sessions next week. "They will be bitterly fought," predicted Rep. Jack Faxon (D-De- troit), who was the leader ofI House movement to remove the amendments, "but not as much as University spending increases." Faxon said he will introduce an amendment which would add about $3 million to Romney's al-I lotment of $62.2 million for the University when the House takes up the bill. He said his proposal provides the " other state-supported colleges and universities with large in- creases as well. Faxon said the difference be- tween the governor's original re- quest and his proposed increases would "avoid the necessity of an impending tuition increase." The House would then pass a motion which would recom- mend no increase in present tui-; tions at state schools, he said.- Also eliminated in the House committee work yesterday is a pro- vision which calls fora freeze on' out-state enrollments at current levels.. The University Regents will meet as soon as a final appropria- tion is approved, according to Vice President for Academic Affairs Allan F. Smith. The decision on a tuition level for next year would then be made. He said they are on call and would meet in special session be- fore their regularly scheduled meeting, July 18. r A completed budget wouldj most likely be ready for Rom- ney's signature by the end of the week. There may, however, be resistance to large increases for1 education, a source indicated. An University tuition hike would the nstill be a possibility. But Eaxon said last night hel would meet this with a proposal for increased funds for the Higher' Education Assistance Act.

The commission will ask Council if it wants a survey of non-resi- dents, to learn how many have low incomes that would qualify them to live in public housing The proposed survey will be con- ducted in connection with the HRC's planned construction of 200 low-income housing units in the city. Under a contract with the Federal Housing Assistance Ad- ministration (FHAA), the HRC is receiving $351/2 million in federal funds for the project. The HRC has commissioned the Market Opinion Research Co. of Detroit to prepare a cost estimate as soon as possible for interview- ing two categories of city resi- dents: -Residents of 349 houses with valm+atinnsfor tax nune of Fred Currier, vice-president of sidy makes up the difference in Market Opinion Research Co., sug- what the commission pays out and gested an interview form including the rent money it receives in the questions on condition of dwell- project. ings, family size, income and edu- The house is a vacant three- cation, and whether persons inter- bedroom dwelling north of West viewed would stay in Ann Arbor Park.

According to SGC member Mar- ty Lieberman, '69, the booklet to be released early in the fall semes- ter, stresses the need for student participation in University affairs by arguing: -if students participate they will assure better education for themselves as well as students fol- lowing them. -student participation will help keep the University "honest" in regard to dealings with outside in- stitutions. Lieberman commented that the booklet will be fairly "low key" in its arguments and will stress stu- dent government within the living units. Lieberman mentioned thi winter's student take-over of Joint Judiciary Council rules and enforcement as an example of this, The book gives some background of SGC events, particularly the story behind the break with the Office of Student Affairs. The booklet contains contribu- tions from current and former SGC members and on student housing, the SGC Student Renta Union, and the draft counseling service planned for next fall. Also in the booklet is a list of SGC events and programs planned SGC originally appropriated $1,500 to cover the cost of the booklet. Subsequent investigation Lshowed that 8000 booklets could be put out for $1,000. Selling adver- tising space in the booklet will bring in about $450, according to SC PresidenthBruce Kahn. But Kahn noted that the entire $450 could be spent in mailing the booklet out, if SGC decided to do that. : is f:{;;;" n:'
