the
news today
by The Associaled Press ad Colle-e Press Service
AMERICAN MILITARY authorities agreed to a battlefield
rendezous to receive three American prisoners of war.
At the same time, the defense department answered statements
made Monday by American anti-war leaders by saying it was unsure
whether or nor the North Vietnamese had made a major change in
their prisoner of war policy.
Defendants in the "Chicago 8" trial had claimed that North
Vietnam would soon release a list of American prisoners held and
begin allowing the free flow of mail to the prisoners.
HOPES FOR A negotiated settlement in Lebanon weakened
considerably.
Dashing hopes for a peaceful settlement of their dispute with
the Lebanese government that continued to provoke violence yester-
day, Al Fatah guerrillas claimed they would remain inflexible in
any negoitations aimed at restricting their freedom to act against
Israel from Lebanese territory.
But while the guerrilla leaders spoke, Lebanon's army com-
mander in chief flew to Cairo to pave the way for the beginning of
negotiations between the two disputants.
In a concilliatory move, the Lebanese government had earlier
conceded it was willing to allow forces to act against Israel from its
territory, but said that such actions must be taken in such a way
that reprisals from Israel could not result.

PICKET LINES erupted into violence as General Electric
employes failed to settle their strike.
Although most picketing in the two-day-old strike affecting,
125,000 employes remained peaceful yesterday, police restrained
three white collar workers who sought to cross a 3,000-member picket
line in Schenectady, N.Y., where GE has its largest plant. Several
other smaller incidents were also reported.
Meanwhile, the two largest unions involved in the current strike
warned that they were also ready to strike Westinghouse, Inc., an-
other large electronics manufacturer, when contracts expire Nov. 9.

PRESIDENT NIXON warned yesterday that the lack of con-
gressional appropriations bills may delay his budget.
In a letter to both Senate and House leaders, the President noted
that only two of the 15 regular annual money bills have been passed
by Congress, and that further delay may make it impossible for him
to submit the new federal budget next January as required .by law.,
WEST GERMAN CHANCELLOR Willy Brandt said he plans
to seek talks with Poland and the Soviet Union as well as greater
independence from the U.S.
Outlining his objectives for the next four years, Brandt also
promised to move within the next three weeks to support British mem-
bership in the Common Market.
In his first real policy statement since he took office a week ago,
Brandt also stressed that the bulk of his reform measures would be
directed toward internal matters.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (/P)-Or-

yesterday their protest had been

The strike had been called to
express solidarity with black law

By CARLA RAPOPORT
Students and faculty last Sun-
day organized an Ad Hoc Tenure
Committee to increase student
participation in the University's!
tenure system.
"Our tenure system is in des-
perate need of revision," says
committee leader Mark Rosen-
baum, academic affairs chairman
for Student Government Council.
"Students have no input in these
decisions even though they are'
directly affected by them."
The committee first plans to
educate the student body in proce-
dures of the present system and
to show why they need revision.
Committee members hope that
once students are aware of the
inequities in the current system,
they will support the committee.
Already the group has the ap-
proval of seven student organiza-
tions, including SGC and Grad-
uate Assembly, and the student
portion as the tenure committee is
composed of concerned members
from each of these.
Currently, the committee's pub-
licity plan calls for the publication
of data on controversial cases in
which tenure has been denied.!

Committee members believe thisj
publicity will demonstrate the in-
justice of the present system and
possibly aid the faculty member
involved.
Second, the committee plans to
submit written requests to each
University department asking that
they revise their present tenuref
systems to facilitate greater stu-
dent involvement.
In addition, the tenure commit-
tee discussed an alternative sys-
tem for tenure evaluation which it
believes would better promote stu-
dent interests.
The committee's proposal is a
dossier system including several
written evaluations of the assis-

Remember when you tried toj
enroll in a course but were told'
that it was already full? And later
you learned that there were a
dozen empty seats in the class-:
room?
It happened nearly 3,600 times
this fall, because people who had
reserved places didn't follow,
through.
It will happen far less often in,
the future, however, if University
registration officials are successful'
in a new plan they have developed.'
Basically, the plan is an attempt

to get those students who advance-
classify to register early also. If
they register early, their class
reservations will be confirmed and
a space will be assured for them,
But if they fail to register early,
the Registrar's Office will assume
they are not returning and will
cancel their reservations to make
room for others. The students
would then have to take their
chances along with everyone else
on Jan. 6 and 7, going through the
Waterman Gym crush, and hoping

there will be room in the course
they want.
The reservation-guarantee sys-
tem will be available to all under-
graduate students on the Ann Ar-
bor campus, plus those graduate
students in Rackham, Business
Administration, and Public Health.
Early registration itself will be
conducted between Dec. 8 and 19
in Waterman Gymnasium. The
hours are 8:10 to 11:45 a.m. and
1 to 4:45 p.m., but the operation
moves fastest in the early morning
and early afternoon. Registration
will be open on Saturday morning,
Dec. 13.
Those students who find they
need to change courses will be
able to register at this time, but
will not be able to drop or add
until the regular registration on
Jan. 6 and 7.
As soon as early registration
closes, the Registrar's Office will
begin to print student schedules,
class cards, and class size reports
for the students who have already
registered.
On Dec. 26 a schedule form will
be sent to each early registrant's
home address, indicating the
courses for which he has enrolled
and the current information on
when and where classes will meet.
Anyaddress changes, of course,
should be turned in at Window A
in the LS&A Building before then.
The usual classification and reg-
istration in Waterman Gym on
Jan. 6 and 7 is for new students,
for those who did not advance-
classify, for those who advance-
classified but lost their . course
reservations by failing to register
early, and for those who need to
drop and add courses.
Defense meetino
There will be a lawyer's meeting
tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the Stu-
dent Activities Bldg. for the 107
defendants involved in the LSA
building sit-in over the bookstore.
All those interested in a court de-
fense for themselves are urged to
