WASHINGTON 'P The government agreed yesterday to 0 0 s O r

Pennsylvania Avenue for a massive demonstration this Satur-
day. New Mobilization leaders accepted the plan.
The agreement was announced by Mayor Walter E. Wash-

declared last Thursday that "under no circumstances," could1
the Pennsylvania Avenue route be used. rd
The agreement followed several days of virtually con-

Ed school
reforms
en tdrsed
By JIM NEUBACHER
The education school's executive
committee yesterday e n d o r s e d
three innovative proposals dealing
with problems of black education
students, development of educa-
tional research programs, and re-
form of the school's curricula and
structure.
The proposals, an outgrowth of
last weekends student-faculty re-
treat, were endorsed by the execu-
tive committee at a special open
meeting in the University High
School auditorium.
Education school faculty will
meet in a special session next
Tuesday to discuss and act on
these proposals. In addition, the'
school will turn classes into
forums, and hold special work-
shops Tuesday to inform students
and faculty members on the pro-.
posals.
The first. proposal was intro-
duced by the "black caucus." who
spoke for the black students and'
faculty members In the school. The
caucus listed nine demands, in-
cluding the demand that blacks
should constitute at least 20 per
cent of students and faculty in1
the school.
The executive committee agreed
to recommend to the faculty that.
Prof. Alvin Loving, a black mem-
ber of the executive committee, be
appointed to a committee which.
would work to implement these
demands,
Another significant proposal en-j
dorsed by the committee outlined
plans for creation of an ad hoc
student-faculty assembly which
would oversee structural and cur-
ricular reform in the school.
The assembly would work to
implement the ideas concerning
reform of teacher training and re-j
organization of the departmental
structural of the school--both pro-
posed at the retreat.
The assembly would also make,
recommendations to the faculty,
reform issues.
Supporters of the plan hope that
eventaully the ad hoc assembly
would replace the executive board
as the administrative body of the
school. This aspect of the plan is
still tentative. however.
The executive committee adopt-
ed "in principle" the recommen-
dations, contained in a third pro-
posal, concerning the role of re- a
search in the education school.
The proposal asks for appoint-
ment of an interim dean in charge
of research to develop policies for

ing three days of antiwar ac-
tivities.
This route makes no provision
for a swing in front of the White
House - one point that the New
Mobilization Committee to End
the War in Vietnam had demand-
ed. Instead, the route will pass the
rear grounds of the White House.
Kleindienst and Washington
also said the government agreed
to the route after the New Mobi-
lization promised to provide;
enough parade marshals to en-
sure order during the mammoth
march, which is expected to at-
tract about 200,000 in what could
be the biggest antiwar protest inI
history.
"The New Mobilization C o m-
mittee has offered every assur-
ance that order will be maintain-
ed duirng the Nov. 15 march,"
Kleindienst said.
Leaders of the New Mobilization
reacted with satisfaction to the
government's decision. But, they
said, the government is "not giv-
ing anything to which the people
are not entitled," adding that theyj
were "basically happy and ready
to move now."
Asked if they were disappointed
at not being allowed to bring the1
mass protest directly in front of
the White House they referred
instead to their 40-hour "MarchI
Against Death" in which they planI
to march single-file from Arling-I
ton Cemetery tast the White
IHouse and to the Capitol begin-
ning Thursday night and ending!
Saturday morning.
Under terms of the agreement
the committee will provide 2,000
parade marshals to keep demon-
strators on the south side of Penn-
sylvania Avenue and another 500
marshals to keep crowds away
from government buildings on the
other side of the thoroughfare.
Meanwhile, a small advance
party from the 82nd Airborne Di-
vision flew here from Ft. Bragg,
N.C., to prepare for possible move-
ment of paratroopers to the cap-
ital in connection with the week-
end demonstrations.
Pentagon officials said no final
decision has been made, but they
indicated a light brigade of be-
tween 1,500 and 2.000 paratroopers
may be brought up before the
Iweekend.
The Pentagon has already aler-
ted several hundred thousand
troops across the country for pos-
sible air-lifting to the capital in
case violence breaks out.
In addition, there are 28,0001
armed personnel in the immediatej
Washington area who will be avail-
able if needed.
New Mobe leaders contacted in
Washington last night said they
felt the Justice Department had
backed down as a result of public
pressure.
Since the permit controversy
first flared last week, public lead-
ers, Congressmen and others have
criticized the administration's re-
fusal to allow anti-war demon-
strators the use of Pennsylvania
Avenue as a march route.

The great silent majority

the "great silent majority" to demonstrate yesterday. Here in Ann Arbor, the annual Veterans Day Parade marched up State Street

turnable deposit to be paid by all
students.
The deposit will be levied in:
September, 1970 on all students
currently enrolled.
Students who enroll afterward
will pay the deposit on entering.
The deposit will be returned to
each student on request when he
leaves the University, as long as
the bookstore is solvent.
SGC Vice President Marc Van
der Hout said last night, "This is
the culmination of a series of con-
certed actions which finally got
the students what they wanted. It
should be made clear disruptive
tactics and the arrest of 108 people
were necessary for this to mate-
rialize."
The controversial bookstore ref-
erendum was approved despite
heavy advertising by the major
bookstores during the past week
condemning it.
State Attorney General Frank
Kelley has yet to rule whether the
store can qualify for the state in-
stitution tax exemption, since it
is controlled by students and fac-
ulty members and not the Uni-
versity.
Lawyers, including University
Law Prof. Robert Knauss, agree

Over half of the voters approved1
all three referenda. The bookstore
question passed by a vote of 8230-

the Vietnam withdrawal proposal
passed 5979-2438.

Hub er iv

to meet,
By JIM McFERSON
Students and members of the
Senate Advisory Committee on
University Affairs (SACUA) will
sit down with Regents Nov. 20
in a "mutual education session"
to discuss communication among
all levels of the University, and
student-faculty participation in
determining priorities and long-
range planning.
Topics for the 11 hour meet-
ing were decided yesterday at a
meeting of SACUA and represent-
atives of various student organi-
zations.
The Regents passed a resolution
at last month's meeting to s e t
aside time to talk with students
and faculty about campus prob-
lems. There had been criticism
that communication between Re-
gents and faculty and students
have been inadequate.
SACUA proceeded from t h e r e
and contacted student leaders in
the schools and colleges, stu-
dent organizations and Student
Government Council to form a
group that could decide on topics
to discuss -with the Regents.
Discussion of 'student partici-
pation in formulating University
priorities and long-range plan-
ning was strongly supported. Neil
Hollinshed, Grad, said, "Students
don't know what is going on. They
are continually reacting to crisis
situations.
"Students should be in on long-
range planning and should know
what the budget is. The V i c e
President for Student Affairs re-
presents the administration-we
need student representation be-
fore the Regents."
SGC Executive Vice President
Marc Van der Hout advocated the
establishment of a student com-
mittee that could investigate both
long-range planning and the in-
creased involvement of students
in making high level decisions.
