protect the integrity of CSJ by up-

justice is done to the defendants," he
said last night.

Hansen has "changed his mind in

to one of the other CSJ members.
Should he be convinced to vote for
acquittal this time, and indicate so
during the deliberations, Share and
Addison would likely join him and
s'lit the CSJ.
Should the council split, and Wohl's

vote become the deciding one, he will
most likely vote for conviction, one
;ource said yesterday.
This backs up indications from Wohl
himself. who since March, while care-
fully attempting to maintain a neutral
air, has repeatedly raised the fear of
administration over-reaction should
the CSJ acquit the students.
"Unfortunately, Marc is not con-
cerned so much with what happens to
the defendants or what reactions there
are in the community as he is inter-
ested in keeping the CSJ sacrosanct,"
said one student who knows Wohl well,
One CSJ member who asked to re-

"Fleming can drag disrupters through

don't want him to have to drag them

SPEECH AT ALICE LLOYD:
~'U' oonservationst foresees
Ann ArborZ water shortage

WASHINGTON IP - De-
claring "the time has come to
end this war," President Nix-
on yesterday announced the
withdrawal of at least 35,000
more troops from Vietnam by
Dec. 15.
The new pullout will bring the
number of American forces re-
moved since Nixon became Presi-
dent to 60,000 and will drop U.S.
strength in Vietnam to its lowest
point in 22 months
The withdrawal will begin im-
mediately, the White House said,
Nixon's announcement, which
he termed a "significant step,"
came as the White House said it
is possible that North Vietnam --
recovering from the death of
President Ho Chi Minh - may be
ready to adopt a new strategy in
the stalemated Paris negotiations
White House sources said they
are not predicting which way
Hanoi may go - toughen its war
stance or show signs of realistic
negotiating - but said the U.S.
position is flexible.
The sources s a i d the United
States is not commiting itself in
advance to future pullouts and
has not told South Vietnam it in-
tends to remove 150,000 to 200,-
000 by the end of next y e a r as
South Vietnamese Vice President
NguyenC ao Ky said Monday. But
the sources suggested those fig-
ures are being used in American
contingency planning.
In a piepared statement, Nixon
reviewed his past proposals for
ending the war and portrayed the
new pullout as evidence of U.S.
willingness to stop the fighting in
Vietnam.
At one point he said that "the
only item which is not negotiable
is the right of the people of South
Vietnam to determine their own
future free of outside interfer-
ence."
MSU petition

Acting President Walter Adams
be offered his post permanently.
The petition being circulated
among MSU faculty, asks that a
joint student-faculty committee
recommend Adams to the Boar'
of Trustees.
The petition praises Adams for
"unexpected administrative skill,
unusual insight and presence of
mind," and adds:
"He has deservedly won the ad-
miration and support of the stu-
dents, a unique achievement in
contemporary affairs."
The Trustees last week asked
the committee to make further
recommendations for the post
which Adams has been filling
since this spring when John A.
Hannah vacated the position to
become director of the Agency for
International Development.

partment has recommended an active role
in departmental decisions be granted to
economics majors.
The report states the recommendations
were designed "to insure more consistent.
effective student involvement" in the de-
partment. Major recommendations include:
-Standing committees concerned with
policy questions directly affecting the edu-
cational program should consist of an
equal number of faculty and students:
--Other committees which perform only
an operating function should be composed
entirely of faculty members-
--The Executive Committee should in-
clude two voting student members; those
members being the presidents of the grad-
uate and undergraduate societies:

meetings:
-On tenure decisions two graduates and
two undergraduates should sit in prelimi-
nary meetings to present student views
on faculty under consideration. Final
tenure decisions will then be made by
faculty, only informing the student repre-
sentatives of the criteria which guided
them in their decisions.
The report must be accepted by three
groups. including the graduate and under-
graduate student societies and the faculty.
The faculty will vote on their report at
their Oct. 7 meeting. Chairman of the
department Prof. Harvey Brazer said the
report has been in the hands of the fac-
ulty for a few days and he has heard no
adverse reactions,

Brazer said if the report meets with any
disapproval, provisions have been made
for a committee made up of two faculty
and two students to consider amendments.
"The report reflects the department as
being essentially a community of scholars
where students can participate actively,
and. as I see it, on an equal footing with
the faculty," he added.
Leonard Schwartz, a graduate member
of the special committee, said students
have been asked in the past to sit on fac-
ulty committees and meetings to express
their viewpoints.
A meeting of undergraduates will be
held this evening at 7:30 in the Economics
Bldg. to initiate a steering committee to
elect members to the various faculty
committees.
The graduates in the department will
meet tomorrow night to discuss the report.

Meanwhile, the available water
is being polluted by the city. In
Ann Arbor, Stapp said, the sani-
tary and storm sewers are sepa-
rated. Although the refuse in sani-
tary sewers is treated, Stapp said,
everything that enters the storm
sewers flows directly into the
Huron River.
There are no plans to combine
the sanitary and storm sewers, he
said. If this was done, pressure on
the city's sewage plant would be
increased greatly, especially duri'ng
severe storms.
However, some progress has been
made controlling water pollution
in the Htn'on River, About four'
years ago. the state Water'Re-
sources Commission ordered the
Peninsula Paper Company to stop
dumping dyes in the Huron River.
The company now sends its dyes
th o ugh Ypsilanti's treatment
plant and will complete its own
plant in about four years.
On the campus, Stapp noted,
almost all the mature trees on the
Diag are Dutch elms which are
threatened by the Dutch elm dis-
ease. Recent lantings of trees
have concentrated on one apces,
hie claimed, and that mnore variety
is needed.
About five years ago. students,
and concerned citizens co-operated
to persuade City Council to pass
an ordinance that "set standards
for signs in the city," Stapp said.
Although the ordinance was'
passed, he said. "we have made
very little progress" because of
law suits local merchants have
brought against the ordinance.
