Football By JUDY KAHN South Quad Council will ask Housing Direct- or John Feldkamp to stop giving priority to bloc room assignments next year and to distribute group assignments through the whole dormi- tory system rather than concentrate them in a few dorms. The action was precipitated by dissatisfaction with use and alleged misuse of South Quad facilities by the groups of athletes who live there. About 30 freshman football players and around 50 varsity players live in the dorm, most- ly in Taylor House. In addition to the council's action, South Quad president Pete Worden has sent a letter to the athletic department complaining about alleged stealing of South Quad Council's pre- stamped envelopes and alleged unauthorized use of the council's phone for several long dis- tance calls by football players studying in the council room. Worden says other groups have used the room, but none have been suspected of misusing the facilities there. The council agreed last year to allow the football players to use meeting room facilities once a week. However, Worden said, players layers are using rooms much more frequently for tu- toring and other purposes. Freshmen football players also have unwit- tingly taken oven use of a quad study hall from Sunday through Thursday evenings. The players are accompanied by a coach who acts as a proctor and is responsible for taking at- tendance and "making sure the players are studying," says head freshman coach Louis Lee. A sec9nd study hall had to be opened aftvr South Quad Director John Lindquist received complaints from other students that the foot- ball players were excessively noisy. The "play- er's" study hall is still officially open to other students who want to use it. "A few times we have gotten out of hand. but everyone does when they're studying," ex- plained George Ellis, a member of the fresh- man team. Lee says he has received only one complaint from Lindquist about the noise. But the problem is more serious than some missing stationery and noisy study halls. South Quad Council last year objected to a proposal to place the freshman players in the dorm in addition to the varsity members who already lived there. When the council objected, Feld- upset Soi kamp agreed not to admit the freshmen to the dorm. South Quad Council objected to the plan because the Quad is "traditionally" an u p p e r class dorm. Worden says the council felt it would be unfair to upper classmen trying to reserve rooms in South Quad as well as to other freshmen who are denied rooms there, if fresh- men football players were given room priori- ties. Worden said objections due to excessively noisy athletes and excessive use of Quad facil- ities were also raised. During the year, coach Bo Schembechler planned to put freshmen players in West-Quad, and keep upperclass players in South Quad. All single players except seniors must live in a dorm or fraternity house under a new. Schembechler-made rule. During the summer, however, Feldkamp said, Schembechler asked him if the athletic depart- ment could also put freshmen in South Quad, which Schembechler was showing to prospec- tive recruits. Some 45 rodms - 90 spaces - were reserved throughout the housing system for freshmen athletes. All 28 to 30 spaces for tendered fresh- I th Quad men football players were reserved in S o u t h Quad, mostly on one corridor of Taylor House, despite what Feldkamp had told the council. Feldkamp said yesterday that he had "for- gotten" his promise to South Quad Council. South Quad's recommendation raises t h e question of whether special groups should be allowed separate facilities. Quad director Lind- quist say* he was never in favor of allowing football players to use separate facilities because it "segregates" them from other students. "We really don't get to meet a lot of people," freshman player Ellis complained. "But I think it's a necessity to live with guys on the team." Feldkamp said the Board of Governors of the Residence Halls decided "five or six years ago" to give athletes special priorities for room as- signments in the residence halls. Next year's room commitments includes the Tuskegee Exchange Program and the English Language Institute as well as the athletic de- partment, Feldkamp said. All will be reviewed later this year by the Board of Governors. South Quad Council expects discussion of its "anti-bloc" recommendations to be included in the board's deliberations.

INNOVAT IV E PROGRAM- of experimental 'Co-b Mart' Soviets to talk Accord reached oi lbeginning of armlls inieetill"; WASHINGTON {A') - The Uni- ted States and the Soviet Union are pi'eparing to announce today an agreement on starting their long-awaited missile-curb talks, informants said last night. The two nuclear powers are ex- pected to get the strategic arms limitation talks, (SALT talks), underway by late November in Vienna, Helsinki, or Geneva, the informer said. Presidential press secretary Ron- ald Ziegler scheduled a n e w s briefing for 10:30 a.m. today but declined to say what subject matter would be involved. At the State Department, press officer Robert J. McCloskey for the second straight day declined to say whether Moscow has an- swered President Nixon's bid to begin discussions between t h e two superpowers on limiting their nuclear missile rivalry. The question arose following a call by Soviet Ambassador Aana- toly F. Dobrynin on Secretary of State William P. Rogers Wednes- day. Prior to the Rogers-Dobrynin session, administration spokes- men had been saying freely that the Soviets had made no response to Nixon's appeal. Diplomatic sources suggested that the SALT talks could get underway by late November. They anticipated it would .take several weeks to set up technical arrangements for the conference. Nixon issued his invitation to begin the disarmament discus- sions last June 11. He publicly anticipated the talks would start during the first half of August. He said he preferred Vienna or Geneva as their locale, but left the way open for another site. To the administration's d is - appointment, no response came from the Kremlin during t h e summer. On Sept. 22, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gro- myko told Rogers a response would be forthcoming soon but he did not specify when. The two nations have already agreed in principle to hold the discussions aimed at slowing down See ARMS, Page 8 Atli!

Assistant Dean James Shaw, ho is enthusiastic about the sill cperimental program, explains iat the Curriculum Committee., hich consists of six faculty .embers and three students,. ants to "tie down more firmly e responsibility for courses." "The course mart is a way of >ening up the curriculum, of icouraging innovation," he says. ut he adds, "Students should not issuing credit to students." Among he seven courses be- ig taught this term under t hie tle "College Course" are Arab- ;raeli R e 1 a t i o u s , Utopian hought, and Leadership Train- ig. The goal of the leadership raining course is to identify haracteristics of leadership and icrease individual skills in lead- 's hip. Oi 1 041 'S I On ody Pc gclihree~ Grading in these experimental courses has tended to be easy, es- pecially since some of the courses consist solely of discusisons and a short paper. Shaw suggests "getting the grading out of the concept by put- ting all the courses on pass-fail." Finding professors to super- vise the courses has been a prob- lem. "We've no money to fund it with," Shaw says. Since the University c a n n o t ealy pay additional compensa- non to a professor already teach- m.g a full schedule at the Uni- vt. iity, the work load of Col- 'ge Course supervisors must be negotiated between the Dean, the Department Chairman, and the faculty member. Workers in the Stud:nt Coun- seling office, who have nurtured the program, have taken an inter- est in finding faculty members who will volunteer to supervise a course. Chairman of the Course Mart, Bruce Astrein, '71, tries to co- ordinate student interest with a faculty member who will take re- sponsibility for the class. Astrein says he is open to any suggestions -for experimental courses. Ove' 15 suggestions fo'r courses for the coming term have been received, some of them, semingly, jokes. Some examples are: occult arts. nihilism, sleep- ing, and the history of rock and roll. One faculty member has v ol- unteered to teach a science fic- tion course. Suggestions also come f r o in the faculty. "A half dozen fa- culty members have contacted me about teaching courses," Astrein says. Persons interested in suggest- ing, coordinating, or enrolling in experimental courses should go to the Student Counseling Office at 1018 Angell Hall, Astrein says. _1U ' 1 Ykl the Frieze Building, which can be seen in the background. ST tDY DECISION-MAKING SACUA to meet with students to improve communications The Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA) took steps yesterday to develop more permanent lines of com- munication between students and the faculty. They agreed to meet Nov. 11 with the ad hoc student' group which considered the book- store question with the faculty earlier this month to discuss ways to establish this relationship. The action came at yesterday's regularly scheduled, closed session of SACUA. in response to a motion, proposed originally last month by Robert L. Knauss, asking that SACUA "look again at the deci-' sion making process. The motion was endorsed at the meeting last month. The ad hoc group of students which will meet with the faculty includes representatives from the' University's schools and colleges, Student Government Council, and 10 other student organizations. Those students. meeting with Senate Assembly last month after the arrest of 107 students who* seized the LSA building in the bookstore protest, helped work out the compromise bookstore plan adopted by the Regents in their meeting earlier this month. SACUA has not yet contacted University President R o b b e n Fleming or leaders of the student groups to arrange the meeting. But SACUA Chairman Prof. Jo- seph Payne hopes Fleming and the group will meet with SACUA on a regular basis. Meanwhile, SACUA scheduled its regular monthly meeting with the president for Nov. 6 to discuss the bookstore and changes in the University's calendar. In other action, SACUA set the agenda for its November meeting. The 65 member faculty group will attempt to pass on to the Regents a report calling for modification in the Reserve Officers' Training Program at the University. Thex report now before the faculty calls for cutting all financial and aca- demic credit given the, programs and for review of courses by - a faculty-student committee. If the defense department re- jected these guidelines, ROTC would be reduced to an extracur- ricular activity. The Assembly turned down a report calling for total abolition of ROTC at its meeting last Monday. In November, SACUA also scheduled discussion of the ques- Blacks walk out at Huron About 60 black students at Ann Arbor Huron High School unex- pectedly left their classes yester- day during the first period. The students then held a meeting to discuss ways to reduce the racial tensions at the high school. Racial tensions were at a high point this week following an in- cident on an Ann Arbor Transit Authority bus last week involving several black students. In the incident - which re- sulted in 11ndemands by the Hur- on Black Student Union and the attendance of 75 of Huron's black students at the Board of Edu- cation meeting last Wednesday - a white Ann Arbor bus driver accused several black students of heckling him. The walk-out resulted despite a meeting held Thursday between 15 white students and 15 repre- sentatives of the Huron B I a c k Student Union - which repre- sents 60 percent of the black stu- dents. John Hubley, community servi- ces officer for the Ann A r b o r Public Schools said that among the black and white students, the teachers and the administration at Huron High there is a "ser- NA TIONAL TREND U, ROTC enrollment de creuses By SHARON WEINER Freshman enrollment in the Univer- sity's ROTC programs is. down by over 50 per cent from last year's figure.
