WASHINGTON :-- Some congressional sources said yesterday Judge Clement F. Haynsworth was asking Presi- dent Nixon to withdraw his nomination to the Supreme Court but the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee denied it. The White House press office said its latest information "indicates that this report is absolutely untrue." Welfare mothers to continue protest NR group m ad 6 students By PAT MAHONEY Student representation on the Natural Resources revie'w committee, which is re-eval- uating the school's programs and their relation to the rest of the University, may be finalized next week. At a meeting of an ad hoc committem yesterday, two deans, faculty members and nine stu- dents recommended that the re- view committee be enlarged to include ten students and 13 facul- ty members and that a steering committee be formed. These proposals will be sub- mitted to the Review Committee Oct. 9. Frank Cajka, one of three stu- dents already on the review com- mittee, said he expects the group will approve the addition of six students. There are now 13 faculty mem- bers and three students on the committee, which Vice President for Academic Affairs Allan Smith appointed last July "to review the program of the School of Na- tural Resources, its relationship to other programs of the University and its future growth and develop- ment." Bill Bryan, another student member of the review committee, told the group last week that stu- dent representation should be in- creased because students are "able to look at a problem and ask questions without the vested in- terests the faculty might have." Prof. Donald Michael, also a member of the ad hoc committee. took a different view. "Students are not bound by the rules of gentlemanly relationships among faculty members," he said. Stn- dents have a "different sense of who they are and what they want to do" than the faculty. Cajka added that if the com- mittee forms subcommittees, stu- dents feel they cannot be ade- quately represented by t h r e e{ members. The steering committee that was recommended yesterday will con- sist of two students, two faculty members, the school's acting dean Stephen B. Preston, and D e a n Stephen S. Spurr of the graduate school, who is chairman of the Review Committee. Both Spurr and Doug Scott, one of the students recommended for appointment to the committee, suggested that students from out- side the college be added to the committee. And Sen. James O. Eastland, tD-Miss., the Judiciary Commit- tee chairman, told a reporter, "The man's had no idea of com- ing down. He has had no idea of doing such a thing. He's never had such an idea." Eastland said he had spoken with Haynsworth briefly after thet judge conferred at the Justice De- partment with Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell. The department itself said there would be no comment about their confirmation. The congressional sources who spoke of a proposed withdrawal said the White House had taken an informal poll of the Senate and found at least 40 members pre- pared at this point to vote against confirmation. "There are the votes in the senate to confirm him," Eastland said. "It will be a comfortable majority.", He a d d e d of Haynsworth, "There is nothing against him. This man has done nothing wrong." At the Senate, Republican Char- les E. Goodell, of New York, and Democrat Walter Mondale, of Minnesota, called on Nixon to withdraw the nomination. Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, (D-Mo), an- nounced he would vote against Haynsworth. In Chicago, Sen. Ralph Smith 4R-Ill.), told a news conference he does not support the nomina- tion because justices "should be above reproach and above suspic- ion of reproach." Earlier in the day Nixon re- layed word through White House press secretary Ronald L. Zieg- ler that he was standing behind the nomination. Labor, liberal and civil rights organiations have attacked Hayns- worth's decisions at the U.S. Cir- cuit Court in Richmond, Va., nd have suggested, additionally, that this ethical behavior is question- able. -Daily-Jerry Weehier ADC WELFARE MOThERS and supporters picket the County Bldg. to demand that the county provide more funds for school clothes for their children. Extra funds not slated for clothing By ALEXA CANADY and ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ The County Welfare Rights Committee (WRC) and i t s supporters will continue pick- eting the County Bldg. today in response to the Board of Supervisors' refusal yesterday to increase the allowance for purchasing school clothing. The Supervisors met with the welfare mothers for the f i r s t time yesterday afternoon, and in- formed them that the budget sur- plus of $124.000 which the moth- ers believed was available is. in fact. earmarked for other county expenses. Earlier, seven of the welfare mothers and 18 of their student and community supporters inter- rupted a closed meeting of wel- fare officialsand the Supervisors to highlight their' demands for an; increased clothing allowance. The meeting was called by sev- eral supervisors last week in order to provide them with a better un- derstanding of welfare operations in the county. The Supervisors, the County Board of Social Services, and WRC have been negotiating f o r s'veral months on WRC's request that the county provide them with additional money for purchasing school clothing., The mothers have requested anC immediate allotment of $73.50 pert child, similar to the $70 they received last fall after several de- mnonstrations. The county would be nequired to allocate only $46 per child, since the difference of $27.50 has al- Sready been provided for by recent state and county appropriations. According to board chairman Bert Nielsen, part of the $124,000 surplus in the county budget has already been slated for the 1970 budget. The rest of the surplus has been divided among variousa departments of the county govern-j ment by the County Administra-t tor. "This has been standard pro- cedure in all county governments in the state," Nielsen said. Last fall, the Supervisors al- u located part of the surplus rev- enues for their $70 per child set-f tlement with the welfare mothers.n "At that time, the State At-a torney General declared an emer-v See ADC, Page 7 ABOLISH ASSEMBLY: LSA -Daily-Jerry Wechsler SHERIFF'S DEPUTY stands beside welfare mother during yes- terday's protest at the County Bldg. DISR UPTIONS: SGC attacks any use of academic penalties By RICK PERLOFF Student Government Council voted 6-1 last night to "severely censure, abhor and condemn" any use of academic discipline for non-academic actions-such as the LSA Bldg. takeover last Thursday. University officials are presently considering .academic discipline-which might involve probation, suspension or ex- pulsion-against the 97 students who were among the 107 arrested in the building last week. Any academic punishment would be in addition to the misdemeanor charge of contention which the demonstrators currently face. This carries*- -- may restructure faculty By SHARON NNEINER The executive committee o fthe literary college has released a list of "proposals for discussion" con- cerning changes in the goverance of the college that would eliminate the meetings of the 1.000-member faculty, The proposals include: -A "straight-forward" Faculty Council with proportional repre- sentation by departments: -A Faculty Council composed of members elected by the college faculty at iarge or perhaps with divisional social and natural sci- enees and humanitiesi represen- tation; and -A council which would include govern1 i the opinions of s udm'uts in install- ces in which students have a "legitimate interest. in the facul- tys action.' ' lhe report gives the current lack of faculty participation as one of the reasons for reconsider- ation of the colleges government. Over the last two decades, actual attendance at literary college fac- ulty meetings has remained con- stant as the size of the collele increased. Even at its peak, at- tendance is seldom more than one half of the faculty eligible to attend, the report states. Criticism voiced to the execu- tive committee on the poor at- tendance, combined with the suc- ig body cess of the Senate Assembly oi the University level. spuirred the committee to propose that changes be discussed in the college,. LSA Dean William Hays said last night. The changes have been discussed in the executive com- mitteetfo' over a year now, he added. Although the executive com- mittee "at this time has no fixed idea about the most. appropriate form of model which might be considered by the faculty," the report emphasizes the proposal which includes departmental rep- resentation. "Dpartmental representation seems to be the model with the fewest problems," Hays explained. The details of this model are sketched out in an appendix at- tached to the body of the report. "If there is 'a legitimate role for student influence, then the lack of a mechanism for' introducing responsible student opinion in our deliberations leaves us prey to the small minority of irresponsible students who seek only chaos. For this reason, the committee would like to regularize student input into college legislation." the re- port. states. Although the report then goes on to suggest as models for stu- dent representation unicameral and bicameral student-faculty legislative bodies, it. concludes, See LSA. Page 6 CSJ hears final arguments in recruiter disruption case By ERIKA 1OFF Final testimony from the de- fense and closing statement from both sides were heard by Central Student Judiciary last night in the trial of six students accused of locking-in a naval recruiter last spring. CSJ will deliberate at an open meeting next Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Union before an- nouncing its verdict. Closing statements for the de- fense by law students Neal Bush and Ken Mogill, outlined the two- pronged defense. First, the defense maintained the prosecution failed to prove the! defendants participated in a dis- ruptive action. "The prosecution has only prov- ed that there was a disruptive action and that the defendants were present- -he has failed to prove any connection.' Moguill said. The defense's second recourse was aimed at justifying the action if CSJ finds the defendants guilty of disruption. However, Bush em- phasized that this defense was i no way an admission o guilt. "The United States is engaged in illegal activity all over the world. The war in Vietnam is in violation of the United Nations charter and other international treaties," Bush said. "Because the University is in- volved in research contributing to such illegal activities." Bush con- tinued, "it is to be considered an accomplice to a criminal act." Bush said the alleged crime of disruption would be justified be- cause it was committed in defense of a third party-the Vietnamese and other third world people- - who are victims of the Univer- sity's criminal act in complicity with the U.S. military. University Attorney Peter For- sythe interrupted the defense's closing statements saying the de- fense had never proved its 4llega- tions that the University is partner to a criminal act or that the al- leged disruption was aimed against this crime. There has been no testimony to the effect that the war in Vietnam is illegal," Forsythe said, "and tie defense has never connected re- cruitment with University re- seamrch." In closing, Bush said the judi- ciar'vboard must considem whether the evidence introduced is suf- ficient to prove guilt but more im- portam-itly it must consider if :t "is jutl ,?o convict." Forsythe's closing statement de- fended ti-i case he had pmesented. He claimed he had proved that the defendants were present at the time of tie alleged crime, and added that their presence alone' did, in fact, constitute the crime. "The nature of the disruption was not incendiary or active in any other way," -Forsythe said. "We have introduced as evidemnce photographs showing the defen- dants standing grouped in the re- cruiter's office." Xt,- o-nitnr A 0 t-- r x i G .

In other action last night, SGC appointed Phil Anderson, '72 Med, Douglas Hadden, '71 and Marty Scott, '72 RC to temporarily fill three seats vacated by Larry Deitch, Shelley Kroll and Panther White. The three vacancies will come up for election in November. In addition, SGC supported wel- fare mothers who are seeking' more money for school clothing and urged students to demonstrate with them, if it proves necessary. The motion on discipline-passed in a speedy vote-also encourages the 17 schools and colleges to eliminate w~hat SGC called "in-' valid rules on disruption." The schools presently can dis- cipline students for disruptive action, although SGC recognizes only the authority of the Central Student Judiciary to make these judicial decisions. Under Chapter 7 of the pro- posed new University Bylaws on the role of students in decision- making-slated for Regental dis- cussion at the Oct. 16 meeting- CSJ would be given original juris- diction in all cases pertaining to' students. See SGC, Page 10 Law school students j*oin Oct. 15 strike The Law School Board of Dire- tors yesterday passed a resolution supporting the Oct. 15 strike against the war in Vietnam. In the resolution, the board ex- presses its "opposition to the con- tinuation by President Nixon of our government's war upon the people of Vietnam." The m'esolution urges all faculty members to cancel classes, students not to attend classes, and staff members not to report for work "in support of the demand for immediate and complete with- drawal of American troops from Vietnam." Law School Dean Francis Allen said that the Law School admin- istration would issue a statement on the Board's resolution within a few days. Dean Allen said that the statement would set forth the official position of the law school on the Oct. 15 strike.

Flemming cautioned studemnts against being "overly optimistic about the discounts such a store will give you." "Only serious disagreement between students and the Re- gents is in the area of manage- ment control," said Fleming. "The problem is to find a mechanism which will satisfy sion" of whether to call in po- lice, he said. "If the injunction had been obeyed," Fleming said, "nothing would have happened." He added. "We mnake evry% effort to persuade police to use the least possible show of force and weaponry," but he admit- ted, "We have no authority over the police."
