Oct. 15: Fro m the music school to Con gress Wide 'U' participation in moratorium Legislators join nationwide protest By LINDSAY CIIANEY The New Mobilization Com- mittee yesterday released i t s complete schedule of sympos- iums, lectures, movies, rallies, and debates for the Vietnam war moratorium Oct. 15, as support for the strike contin- ued to grow. The list of schools represent- ed in moratorium day programs is all but a roster of the Uni- versity - from music and na- tural resources, to the medical, law and education schools and departments in LSA ranging from English to economics to chemistry. Professors will preside o v e r morning presentations in H i 11 Aud. to confront the issues of the Vietnam war and U.S. mili- tary policy in general. Economics professors Daniel Fusfeld and F. M. Scherer will start the day at 9 a.m. "It is the domestic relation- ship between politics and busi- ness that causes foreign prob- lems such as Vietnam," Fusfeld contends in explaining his speech. "Even if we get out of Viet- nam, the mechanisms which got us in will get us into another Vietnam unless something is done," he added. Following Fusfeld's talk will be a presentation by Scherer on "Decision-making in Military Procurement Programs." He will discuss the process by which the U.S. decides who will make armaments for the mili- tary, and whether this process results in the best equipment at the lowest prices. Chemistry Prof. Irwin Gold- stein is scheduled to talk on "Nature of Weapons, Legal As- pects, and Use of Chemical and Biological Weapons in Vietnam." Goldstein says that the Unit- ed States is using poison gases and defoliants in Vietnam, in direct conflict with the Geneva Protocol of 1925, which pro- hibits "the use in war of as- phyxiating poisons or o t h e r gases and all analogous liq- uids, materials or devices." While plans for the morator- ium are being completed, sup- port continues to develop. The largest recent support of the moratorium within the Uni- versity came from Asian studies personnel in a petition w i t h 126 signatures. The petition condemns' the "futility and inhumanity of this war" and asks for "the immed- iate withdrawal of all U. S. troops and supplies from Viet- nam." It further asserts the intent of Asian studies people to "sus- pend all regular academic func- tions on Oct. 15 and to support the activities of the morator- ium." A similar petition circulated in the English department drew 34 signatures including that of chairman Russell Fraser. Many members of the journalism de- See 'U', Page 7 By The Associated Press Next Wednesday's anti-war moratorium is allying students across the nation with politic- ians, businessmen and profes- sional people, as plans for na- tionwide activities begin to gell. Even Capitol Hill will lend a hand. Plans to keep the House of Representatives in session all night on Oct. 14 as a sym- bol of protest against the war have been disclosed by R e p. Benjamin Rosenthal (D-NY). Rosenthal says enough speak- ers have been lined up to talk through the night. "I think this is going to be, the largest citizens* participa- tion of its kind in the history of this country," Rosenthal says. The greatest-participation, of course, will be on the nations' campuses. Dozens of colleges have canceled classes or an- nounced that students absent from classes on Oct. 15 will not be penalized. Elsewhere plans for the mora- torium include rallies, speeches, marches, religious services, and class strikes. The coast-to-coast activities will culminate in a 5 p.m. candlelight procession around the White House, ex- pected to draw some 45,000 members. The procession will be led by Coretta King, widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Some form of activity con- nected with the moratorium will take place in every state. Seventeen senators and 47 congressmen have expressed support of the moratorium as long as it remains "peaceful, lawful and nonviolent. And con- gressional staff members plan a vigil on the Capitol steps. Support from state and local officials is growing. In Boston, where 100,000 peo- ple are expected at a rally, the city council has instructed the mayor to arrange appropriate observances for the Oct. 15 ac- tivities. Massachusetts Gov. Francis W. Sargent has endorsed t h e action, as well as two other New England governors - Democrat Kenneth Curtis of Maine and Democrat Frank Licht of Rhode Island. In New York, Mayor John V. Lindsay and other officials will take part in a ceremony on Wall Street. As in hundreds of other ceremonies around the coun- try, the names of war dead will be read. In addition, the New York City Board of Education will al- low teachers and pupils to take the day off, and has urged those who stay in school to hold dis- cussions about the Vietnam con- flict. Columbia and New York Uni- versities have also authorized student and faculty absences. Rallies will be held op Park Ave. and Wall Street, and at See 11'IDE, Page 7 -Daily-.dim Judkis New Jhobe offjice stiqf f (it acork ROTC UNDERG ROUND See Editorial Page \:Yl r e ilir II aiti VICTORY LIBELS-62 muggers--00 Stormy over Wines Field with chance of red tide Vol. LXXX, No. 32 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Friday, October 10, 1969 Ten Cents Ten Pages State Senate warns 'U, ST UDE NTS REFUSE COUNSELING about limiting ROTC By ALAN SHACKELFORD The State Senate yesterday warned the University that it supports "the current ROTC program without reduction." However, key legislators said the warning will have no effect on appropriations, while o n e Democratic legislator called it "a publicity stunt." A resolution sponsored by George Kuhn (R-Birmingham) declares "that the University of Michigan is advised hereby of leg- islative support for retaining the ROTC program without reduc- tion." The resolution notes in response to the recently released R O T C report by SACUA that a Univer- sity faculty committee has pro- posed to "abolish the program or to reduce it drastically - and that committee is agreed upon sever- ance or revision." Michigan is the only university mentioned by name in the resolu- tion, although it is aimed at all state colleges and universities "now providing ROTC programs or which may in the future provide increased ROTC programs." Senate Minority Leader Sander Levin (D-Berkeley) called the re- solution "misguided and not worth the paper it's written on" and "a publicity stunt" Levin also ac- cused Kuhn of wanting "a big hubbub on the floor over the re- solution." Levin assured that "President Fleming has our support if any action is taken" concerning ap- propriations to the University. In addition both Senate A p - p~ropriations Committee Chairman Charles Zollar (R-Benton Harbor' and House Appropriations Chair- man William Copeland (D-Wyan- dotte) said the resolution "will not affect appropriations to the University." Zollar emphasize that University appropriations will be affected only insofar as money for the ROTC program goes. "I am in favor of the resolu- tion," noted Copeland, but he agreed with Zollar about the ef- fect on appropriations.

BOMBING INDICTMENT: FBI SeekS leader of White Panters By DAVID SPURR The FBI yesterday began an interstate lsearch for White Panther Defense Minister Pun Plamondon, charged along with two other Panthers in the bombing of a Central Intelligence Agency office in Ann Arbor last fall.

Hays said the college would consider instituting disciplin- ary proceedings only if any serious new evidence in the case turned up. The dean said this would be "extremely unlikely." Hays said he will simply "invite" the students to discuss the sit-in with him and several faculty from the Administra- tive Board in "off the record" sessions. Hays is the second dean to announce he will probably not press charges against those arrested. The first was Resi- dential College Dean James Robertson.

The BLSA is demanding increased enrollment of black students and immediate hiring of five black law faculty.

The meeting, which was attend- ed by over 200 people, was called to focus on the students' demands for increased black enrollment and the immediate hiring of five black professors in the Law School. After the hearing, BLSA leaders urged students to boycott classes! today and attend a noon rally in the Law Quad to protest the al- leged racism in the school. Ted Spearman, BLSA member, said the purpose of the meeting was to demonstrate "needs that require black attorneys and needs that require black law students. "Unless the need we will show is met, whoever or whatever keeps the need from being met is racist," he concluded. "The Law School is racist because it has the capa- city to solve our problems." grand jury indicted him and charge Wednesday. Ken Kelley.

The wording closely re-r sembled the resolution passed Sept. 4, which called for a rally funded by~ a rolling $5 assessment with the University released from financial liability. SGC approved the draft unani- mously last night after stipulating that the University delegate fi- nancial responsibility to students. In the case of bankruptcy, Coun- cil said, the University would be formally responsible for the store's liabilities, but students would be assessed the money to pay off the debt.
