taken tomorrow on SGC's plan or1
Fleming's plan. He envisioned an1
alternative proposal coming up
for a vote, but declined to sayk
what it might be.f
Although Dunn said he thought
the meeting had been worthwhile,.
Regents Robert Brown (R-Kala-
mazoo) and Lawrence Lindermer
(R-Stockbridge) bo t h felt little;
was accomplished.f
Following opening comments!
from Council member Roger Keats
a n d SGC President Marty Mc-
Laughlin, Robert Graham, head1
of Follett's, spoke on the poten-
tially high costs of the discount
bookstore.
Regent Robert Nederlander (D-'
Franklin) asked SGC members;I
what their reaction would be if
he could demonstrate ts ha t the
bookstore might not result in a'
significant savings to students.'
presumably, as a result of highc
operating costs.
McLaughlin answered that even'
if costs were so high to rule out;
a discount on books, t h e store'
would still be entitled to a 4 per
cent sales tax exemption for'
which a university valifies.
The discussion later turned toI
the effects of the University book-<
store on privately-operated book-t
stores in Ann Arbor. Council mem-
ber Bob Nelson said he felt the
competition fostered might result
in lower prices from the other!
bookstores.
"There is a feeling that private
bookstores are robbing t h e i r
clients," said Regent Paul GoebelI
R-Grand Rapids). "Upon what
basis can you substantiate that
conviction?"I
Nodirect statistics were given
Goebel, but SGC Coordinatingj

eral and noted that a probable
reason why Graham was at the'
meeting and Fred Ulrich, owner
of Ulrich's, planned to speak at
South Quad (Ulrich was unable to
attend because of a cold) last
night was because "we are going
to threaten their business."
"Why would a regent want to
speak to a lot of obnoxious stu-
dents," asked Wilson, smiling andj
adding "and they are obnoxious

McLaughlin concluded that any
adverse affect of the University
bookstore on Ann Arbor merchants
was secondary to its providing a
saving to students.

plan. He later withdrew it when
a number of Council members said
SGC had no right to make deci-
sions for the crowd and feared that
calling for disruption would de-
stroy the march's spontaneity.
This was the third occasion that
Council has refused to endorse a
disruption of the meeting.. Van
Der Hout has introduced a similar
motion for the past two weeks and
they have been overwhelmingly de-
feated each time, usually for fear

Use of the system is limited to the
12 to 1 p.m. lunch hour by a rule
of the Office of Student Affairs.
When the University refused to
let SGC use the sound system for
the rally, Council decided to rent
its own system at 2 p.m. This rep-
resents a tacit violation of the Uni-
versity rule and can result in
prosecution of SGC by the Univer-
sity.
Several Council members have
voiced disapproval of the Univer-
sity's refusal to let SOC use the

es that SGC canot determine Uni-
versity rules and adds that the
administration just learned of
SGC's change two weeks ago and
needs more time to consider it.
In other business, Council agreed
that the Office of Student Organ-
izations Policy Committee be
given final decision making power
over the office.
OSO is one of many committees
within the Office of Student Af-
fairs (OSA), which operates a
number of student services.
SGC this summer demanded
that students also be given policy-
making power over the entire OSA
office and that its decisions man-
date the Vice President for Stu-
dent Affairs.

However, the issue is not yet
settled because Fleming contends
a policy board can not have power
over a vice president.
Council appointed three mem-
bers, Mike Farrell, Mary Living-
ston and Bob Nelson, to serve as
SGC representatives on the com-
mittee and urged that the other
10 organizations involved-rang-
ing from the Tenants Union to
the Michigan Sports Club-meet
to chose among themselves three
representatives of the 10.
Council members are petitioning
students until Thursday to fill
three SGC seats vacated by Larry
Deitsch. Panther White and most
recently, Shelly Kroll.

Unit's draft asks ROTC reform

Continued from Page 1)
However, one of the members
of the committee, social work Prof.
Euguene Litwak, said yesterday he
may present a minority report re-
questing severance if the commit-
tee doesn't.
"The issues discussed in the
recommendations of the draft are
not the central ones" he said last
night. ROTC's position is incon-
sistant with the University's in
that the Army must behave in a
status quo-authoritarian way in
order to accomplish its job, where-
as the Univer ity should act in a
democratic and innovative way in
order to achieve is goals."
"In terms of dollars and cents,
higher education, housing and so-
cial services for the city have been
given second place to military ex-'
penditures," he went on.
"On the other hand," said psy-
chology Prof. Donald Brown, "If

a positon of having the Regents
and faculty at odds with each
other, with President Fleming in
the middle. The University may
not be strong enough to handle
such a disturbance."
"There is no doubt that larger
issues than the relation of ROTC
to the University are in the minds
of some students and faculty" said
Buttrey, "But as this committee

was charged with the question of
the relationship, we would do well
to stick to that in the recom-
mendations."
The committee will meet again
next Thursday to work out the
final report, which is due Oct. 1.
An open hearing will then be held
on Oct. 7 and the report will be
presented to the Senate Assembly
for approved on Oct. 20.
