Executive Vice-President Marvin L. Neihuss said yesterday
that no decision has been reached by the University on how
the investigation of Regent Eugene B. Power's business relation-
ships to the University will be conducted. The Ann Arbor News
4 quoted Neihuss as explaining that decisions on the investigation
will wait until Power returns from a trip to the Far East.
According to University Secretary Erich Walter, Power will
not be back from his trip in time for the next Regents' meeting.
The trip, which includes visits to Japan and Viet Nam, is expected
to take six weeks.
President Harlan Hatcher announced Saturday that the
University has accepted Power's request for a review of- his
business relationships and a report to the Regents as soon as
possible. President Hatcher, attending a convention in New York
until Thursday, was unavailable for comment last night,

Five South Vietnamese students touring this country under
the sponsorship of the American Youth Council have been in-
vited to come to the University this Friday and Saturday, Oct. 29
and 30, Gary Cunningham, Student Government Council presi-
dent, said yesterday.
The students, including two Marxists, the vice-president of
the student government at the Buddhist University and the
president of the student government of Saigon University, will
appear with four University students-two opposing and two
supporting administration policies in Viet Nam-for a question
period, Cunningham explained. A general discussion period will
follow.
The emphasis will be on eliciting the views of the Vietnamese
students, he added.
Cunningham and James Kropf, '66, UAC president, whose
organizations are helping sponsor the event along with campus
groups both supporting and opposing the war, are having an
organizational meeting today at 4 p.m. in the SGC offices on
the first floor of the SAB. All interested students have been
invited to attend.

Inter-Quadrangle Council last night recommended it merge
with Assembly Association to form a completely new co-
educational residence hall government.
The merger plan is a result of research by an IQC study
committee which reported that the proposed system would in-
crease efficiency by eliminating duplication of effort, unifying
and coordinating activities and aiding the creation of govern-
ments in new co-ed residence halls as they are opened.
A joint committee will be established to consider a proposed
constitution and means to accomplish the merger. The combined
organization should be operating before the end of the spring
term.
Presently, Assembly represents approximately 7000 women,
and IQC nearly 3500 men.
There has been a marked increase in membership of Students'
for a Democratic Society both on this campus and across the
nation in the past week, Eric Chester, '66, president of Voice
Political Party, the University chapter of SDS, reported yesterday.
The paid membership in Voice has increased from 30 to 60.
Chester ;ttributed this increase to the "successful demon-
stration in Ann Arbor during the International Days of Protest
and to Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach's statement" indicating
the Justice Department would conduct an investigation of SDS.
Carl Oglesby, national president of SDS, related SDS's na-
tional membership increase to the Viet Nam protests, which he
said have come under recent "red-baiting" attack.

By DICK WINGFIELD
The founding of a new student
organization entitled Reach was
revealed last night by its leaders,
who explained their goals' for
Reach and announced that the
organization would run four can-
didates for Student Government
Council in the next election.
The names of the candidates will'
be announced at a Reach organi-
zational meeting next Sunday. At
that time Reach will present its
campaign plans and discuss its,
goals.
Reach is designed to serve as a
clearing house for the needs and
desires of a diversified constitu-
ency-ranging from liberal to con-
servative politically and claiming
representation from several non-{
political groups.
Apolitical Nature
Alex* Goodwin, '66, its policy
board chairman, said, "The indi-

platforms. There is diversity in the'

members to members of Young

The proposed University request
for $65.8 million in state appro-
priations seems almost certain to
be considerably reduced, sources
in Lansing indicated yesterday.
There is a good chance Gov.
George Romney will submit a
budget to the Legislature which
would provide for the same level
of services as is provided at the
present time, according to Charles
Orlebeke, advisor to the gover-
nor on higher education, even
though an increase in funds would
be necessary to maintain the pres-
ent level of services.
"I would be surprised If the
governor recommended the full
amount," said Orlebeke. He fur-
ther commented that he felt the
failure of the Legislature to take
tax reform action has put the

Protest against the war in Viet
Nam entered a new stage last
night in a meeting held to discuss
the draft and alternatives to it.
Paul Lauder of the American
Friends Service Committee, Carl
Oglesby, president of Students.for
a Democratic Society (SDS), and
Todd Gitlin, a former president of
SDS, spoke before a group of more
than 100 people on the war and on
legal aspect of obtaining conscien-
tious objector status within limits
imposed by the Selective Service
Act of 1948.
Lauder began his talk by asking
the group, "How many of you
would be willing to kill 1,000,000
Jews, 10.000 Catholics, or even
1,000 Vietnamese?"
When there were no affirmative
replies, he added, "I would sug-
gest that the rest of you are con-
scientious objectors, although the
law wouldn't recognize you as
such."
Answering the inevitable con-
tention that conscientious objec-
tors are "draft-dodgers" Lauder
said, "If you really want to serve,
file for C.O. status. You will al-
most certainly be called. In many
cases, physicals are waived for
C.O.'s, and many who would have
been classified as 4-F otherwise
have been called to serve their
two years."
