Student Government Coun-
cil will confront the Regents
over the bookstore issue today
at the first of its two-day
monthly meeting.
SGC plans to argue for its pro-
posal, rejected by the Regents in
July, which would fund the book-
store by a one-time $1.75 levy on
students, bolstered by gifts and
funds raised by the University.
At the same time, says SGC
President Marty McLaughlin, stu-
dent representatives will "debunk"
the administration proposal call-
Ing for $200,000 raised by volun-
tary student contributions and
gifts.
SGC argues there is little chance
that the $200,000 estimated nec-
essary to establish a bookstore
could be raised without a fee as-
sessment and University support.
If the Regents fail to act in
favor of a bookstore. SGC plans
call for a rally tomorrow at 2 p.m.
on the Diag and a march to the
Administration Building.
In addition, some of the Regents
are expected to raise opposition
to the SGC Discount Store, which
President Fleming and acting Vice
President for Student Affairs Bar-
bara Newell have charged has
"broken its original trust."
The store, which originally re-
quested permission from the Re-
gents to sell specific academic
items, "has gone far afield" by

The flow of anti-ROTC demonstrators into North Hall during the past week apparently hasn't phased ROTC personnel - at least,
not face-to-face with the opposition. Yesterday's 'batch of protest ers even managed some pleasantries with their enemy.

"How's it going today, Barry?"
Army Maj. William Morgan good-
naturedly asked protest leader!
Barry Bluestone.
"Oh, not too badly," replied the
graduate student in economics.
"Say," he added, "I notice you've
got the Navy and the Army on
the same floor here. Whatever
happened to good old service
rivalry?"
The officers laughed. The ten or
so disrupters, accompanied by an
entourage of plainclothed police-
men, reporters, and photographers,
cracked jokes on the way to the
next ROTC class disruption.
Nearly a week of class disrup-
tions and protest over the mili-
tary training program has bred
familiarity between protesters and
soldiers despite the contempt they
hold for each other's viewpoints.
By yesterday the anti-ROTC
students had settled into a routine.
They would enter a class and
politely take seats near the rear
of the classroom. Occasionally
they would try to engage someone
in a discussion, until they were
ordered to leave under thleatof
criminal and University prosecu-
tion.
Bluestone yesterday led his band
into a freshman air science classj
while a blond, mustached instruc-
tor was drawing a diagram of the'
Air 'Force ROTC hierarchy on the
blackboard.
The instructor continued his lec-:
ture unabashed as the "disrupters"
took their seats. A University-hired
photographer followed them in
identify-he just had to look for
the ones with hair growing over
their collars. A tape machine re-
corded everything that went on
in the classroom.
"After going through this ex-
planation of the ROTC hierarchy,"
the instructor was saying, "we'll
go over the procedures of saluting
and the Air Force uniform."
When the.blackboard diagram
was completed he asked, "Are
there any questions?"
Bluestone thrust up his hand.
"Yes," he said. "As a beginning
ROTC student myself I wonder if
you could tell me if I would be able
to see the Group Commander
without having to go through this
flow chart you've made on the
blackboard."

The prosecution was unable to
complete its examination of wit-
nesses and the trial has been re-
cessed until next Wednesday.
The trial's informal atmosphere
was heightened by a large amount
of audience l)articipation. Marec
Wohl, chairman of the CSJ, said
he hoped relaxing the rules would
help the trial proceed easier.
In his opening statement, proe-

the CSJ to deliver the maxinmn

SECOND FLOOR MOSHER-JORDAN
Coed living: It 's not what you think it is
By ALLISON COOKE
"Instant, pregnancy."
That's what one student's father calls
the new coed floor in Mosher-Jordan
dormitory. But despite such fears - and
perhaps the hopes of others the
second floor of Mosher--Jordan more
closely resembles an experiment in fan-
ily living than The Ilarrad Experiment.
Most of the students living on the
floor say they chose the arrangement
because they felt the more natural liv-
ing situation would make it easier to
form friendshins with members of thr,
living there by choice -- the housing of-
fice stuck six girls and three boys in
the hall to fill up the vacancies. All but
one freshman girl, however. have decided
to stay.
"I think I'm going to like it because
of the kids. not the idea," says a junior
transfer student, "they're so friendly."
Another freshman says her parents
finally decided to let her remain on the
floor because they figure "if I haven't
been trained in 18 years, .. .
"Besides, it's more natural." she adds.
"It's affected us, sure it has," declar-
ed one boy. "It makes everyone more
considerate - like toning down on swear-
ing and noise."
"The boys are a lot friendlier," adds
one girl who agrees, "because they 'real-
ize we'll be living together. They're real
sweet because they know we'll be put
out more."
And rather than promote more sexual
relationships, the arrangement apparent-
ly is making them almost taboo. While
there have been several casual dates, only
appeared in tile hall. "Major!
Major! Can't I have a little pri-
vacy around here? I'm trying to
make a phone call and these peo-
pie are just barging in on me."
Maj. Morgan scurried up and
stood for the next thirty minutes
in front of the colonel's office
door as a girl protester chattedf
with him and pointed out his pic-
ture on the wall to every passerby.

ed entrance to the office of the
