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.

I Prof. Oscar Oppenheimer of CMU's philosophy department claimed that he and four other faculty members were the only ones of 300 members denied pay increases. This development ' Reach' To Run Four SCandidates for, SGC In Coming Election 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- vidual students must be reached. We do not identify with left, right, or middle - of - the - road political platforms. There is diversity in the' executive board ranging from Stu-! dents for Democratic Society members to members of Young Republicans." Goodwin said that the chief concern of Reach will be common, Cut in 'U Bud et New Group: Change U.S. Asia Policy Speakers Ask End To War in Viet Nan, Talks with Red China By DOUGLASS CHAPMAN About 200 people here were part of the nationwide audience of 25,- 000 which heard talks on U.S. Far Eastern policy over a. telephone hookup Sunday. The meeting was organized by a new group, the Americans for Reappraisal of Far Eastern Policy (ARFEP), repre- sented locally by Profs.

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.

I i By AL VALUSEK 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."
