TI )N it WAR Support of Move Limited On Campus New Bombings May Hurt Peace Hopes, Say Students, Faculty By ROGER RAPOPORT "It's senseless to escalate the war while claiming that you want to talk peace. The only way to have a meaningful peace nego- tiation, is to stop all hostilities." Tull Reflects Knox Tull, Jr., '67E, reflected campus reaction yesterday to the! resumption of bombing on North Viet Nam and the President's new peace bid to the United Nations. Sentiment among students and faculty ranged from quiet-expres- sions of regret to vociferous cri- ticism of the two latest moves in the Viet Nam conflict. "Everything we know about bombing suggests that it does not break down morale or weaken the will to resist," says Prof. Brad- ford Perkins of the history de- partment. "Britain in World War II is the classic example," says Perkins. Some Value Since the bombing may have some military utility-halting the ! flow of supplies from North Viet Nam . . . I'm not willing to con- demn it," adds Perkins. Prof. Stephen Tonsor, also of the history department, thinks it "is regrettable that there wasn't an acceptable alternative to the resumption of bombing." j"I think it's good that the matter is being introduced into the UN. I feel the outcome will most likely be the same as that of the peace offensive," Tonsor said. Up to Hanoi Tonsor added that, "When they (the North Vietnamese) stop shooting the war will come to an end." Donna Simmons, '69, feels that the resumption of bombing was a mistake and hopes that the Pres- ident will initiate another lull soon 3 because, "If you want to stop the war a bombing suspension is the place to start from." Prof. A. W. Allison of the Eng- lish department "regrets the re- sumption of the bombing," and feels it will have little positive effect. Allison is "strongly oppos- ed to the prospect of bombing Hanoi." Allison indicated he felt the United States had "a moral duty" to go to the United Nations over this matter. He said, however, that he was not optimistic about the immediate prospect for a peaceful settlement through the world body. Coverup Prof. Tom Mayer of the sociol- ogy department thinks that "the United Nations move is simply a coverup for this particular move of aggression.'' "I find it hard to understand how any American can seriously, believe that renewed bombing can do anything but aggravate and embitter the present conflict." m - - -- What's New At 764-1817 Hotline The nation's first research and training center devoted to clinical pharmacology will soon be built at the University with a million-dollar gift from the Upjohn Co. Its main purposes will be to study drugs' effectiveness and safety in man, to train physicians in the advanced skills needed for such study, and to provide a base for patient care related to research and training. * . . S The sentencing of 29 protestors, who were found guilty of trespassing last Thursday in Washtenaw County Circult Court is set for 8:30 p.m. today. Most of the defendants who sat in at the Ann Arbor draft board last October 15 are University students. They will be sentenced by Circuit Court Judge James R. Breakey Jr. Maximum punishment is 30 days in jail and a $50 fine. The defendants' attorney Ernest Goodman of Detroit plans to file an appeal with the Michigan District Court in Detroit today. * * * * Peter Wolff, Grad, one of the 29 defendants found guilty of a trespassing charge during the anti-Viet Nam sit-in demon- stration at the local draft board, said he received a delinquency notice from his New York draft board indicating he had been reclassified 1-A. The notice Wolff received said he had "violated Section 12-A of the Selective Service Act by interfering with the administration of the Selective Service system of Local Board 85 in Ann Arbor." His reclassification is the 14th at the University since the sit-in October 15. Dr. Kenneth Keniston, a member of the faculty of Yale University Medical School, will give the opening speech at aI symposium on "The Future of American Individualism." to be held in Rackham Auditorium this week. All lectures will be held at 8 p.m. On Thursday, Dr. Walter Judd, a former U.S. Congressman, will speak on "The Impact of Individualism on Our Foreign Policy." Judd was the Keynoter of the 1960 Republican Con- vention. Friday's lecture will be given by Nat Hentoff, jazz critic and staff writer of "The New Yorker," on "The Fine Arts: Scope Yet for Individualism."j "Conflict of Complement: Individualism and the Federal Government" will be the subject of Kenneth Keating's lecture on Saturday. Keating is a former Congressman and Senator from New York State. U.S. Representative Weston E. Vivian announced yesterday that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has awarded the University three grants amounting to $194,380. The awards were given for 1) the investigation of spectral response of various types of detectors in the extreme Ultra-Violet, under the direction of R. A. Sawyer and W. W. McCormick; 2) research into the feasibility of a- Kilometerwave obriting telescope, under the direction of F. T. Haddock; and 3) for theoretical and experimental investigation of Plasma waves, space vehicle Plasma sheets, and Ionispheric electron temperatures, under the direction of A. Nagy. The University awarded 1,642 degrees at the end of the fall term, Erich A. Walter, secretary of the University, announced yesterday. The graduation list, approved by the Regents, includes 652 undergraduates and 990 graduate students. These figures com- pare with a total of 1,526 degrees (643 undergraduate and 833 graduate) awarded at the same time last year. The total does not include degrees to be awarded by Flint College and the Dearborn Campus for their current sessions. * * * The University's Professional Theatre Program's successfulj New York production of "An Evening's Frost" will be presented ' tonight at the Library of Congress. The play was adapted by Prof. Donald Hall of the English department, and was directed1 by Marcella Cisney, associate director of the PTP. The special performance of the play is being presented in honor of the third anniversary of Frost's death. The cast of "Frost" will present the play at Princeton University next week, marking the first time a PTP production has been sent to Princeton. Next year, a national tour of "Frost" will bring the production to many other American universities. U.S. Trying To Arrange Peace Talks Security Council To Hold Session Today On American Plan UNITED NATIONS (P) - The United States asked the U.N. Se- curity Council yesterday to ar- range talks with interested gov- ernments on setting up an inter- national conference to end the war in Viet Nam. The 15-nation Council will meet in urgent session at 10:30 a.m. today on a resolution submitted by U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg upon instructions of President Johnson. The resolution would have the Council fix the time and place for discussions without preconditions on a conference "looking toward the application of the Geneva accords of 1954 and 1962 and the establishment of a durable peace in Southeast Asia."

The area was the site of a bomber produc- tion center during World War II; the WRAND community center is a converted schoolhouse built dur- ing the war and purchased by WRAND in 1964 for $15,000. The community center houses a day care center, a gymnasium, a li- brary, a workshop and offices for WRAND personnel. Alting's c r i t i c i s m continued, "Through a maze of red tape and bureaucratic inefficiency, the de- velopment of the original proposal has been seriously delayed and the program's future damaged beyond repair. The malfunctions of the University with respect to the Wil- low Village grant has destroyed the people's confidence in WRAND." In an interview yesterday, Alt- ing said, "I believe that former Actions Vice-President Roger Heyns would have worked to cut a lot of the red tape if some of the officials in the Univeristy's ILIR had ap- proached him while he was here. Purchases of materials, for in- stance, were delayed sometimes six weeks." Alting continued, "The ILIR is acting in a high-handed and hypocritical fashion if they assert that WRAND is now a self-func- tioning organization. Certainly not after a year of paternalism and manipulation. The organization has been wrecked, robbed of its leadership, and WRAND has lost its grass roots support. ". . . Until the poor can repre- sent themselves and control the local poverty programs and not be at the mercy of so-called rep- resentation by local do-gooders, black and white alike, the 'War on Poverty' has not begun," Alting concluded. U.S. Renews Air Attacks On the North Bombings Limited To Military Targets Britain Backs Actions By CLARENCE FANTO The war in Viet Nam entered a new phase yesterday as Presi- dent Johnson ordered the renew- al of bombing on North Viet Nam and opened a drive in the Unit- ed Nations to bring about peace talks. Congressmen generally support- ed the resumption of the attacks, although some expressed regret over the President's decision. However, Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont), author of a recent report based on a fact-finding mission to Viet Nam, applauded Johnson's at- tempts to end the war and add- ed: "It is not the fault of the President that these attempts have failed." Wartime Footing Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt) called for a shift to a full war- time footing with a universal draft, higher taxes and econom- ic controls. "The answer of Hanoi to all," he said, is "they persist in aggres- sion and they insist on the surren- der of South Viet Nam to com- munism. It is plain that there is no readiness to talk-no readiness for peace-in that regime today" In resuming the bombing at the same level of intensity as beore, the President was attempting to unify dissident elements through- out the political spectrum. His decision' to renew the air strikes were aimed at placating manystop officials in his admin- istration, Congressmen from both parties and the military in Viet Nam and Washington. The new peace move in the United Nations was intended to soften the blow of the new bomb- ing upon foreign governments, both friendly and nonaligned, Sens. Fulbright, Morse and other crites of his policy, and diplomats who contended that a positive re- sponse from Hanoi to the 37-day U.S. "peace offensive" would re- quire time and patience.

It will discuss a U.S. proposal asking for talks *amnong "nterested government" in order to bring about an inter- national conference on Viet Nam peace. In the skies over North Viet Nam, U.S. warplanes raked a key highway, wrecking a truck con- voy, and also hit bridges, ferry complexes and barges. One Navy plane was shot down by ground fire but the pilot was rescued. Officials in Washington made it clear that the bombing would re- main limited to military targets. The key cities of Hanoi and Hai- phong will not be attacked, they reported. Overseas, Britain voiced support for the U.S. decision while Mos- cow and Peking issued angry de- nunciation of the bombing re- sumption. The Soviets charged the United States "actually does not want the Viet Nam war to end." British Prime Minister Harold Wilson was reported personally disappointed that the U.S. had been compelled to resume the air raids. But British officials revealed that North Viet Nam had issued a new precondition for peace ne- gotiations in a note delivered to London over the weekend. 'Sole Representative' An official government state- ment said the condition was that the Viet Cong should be "the sole genuine representative of the South Vietnamese people" at the conference table. The statement went on to say that Ho has stood firmly on acceptance of his pre- conditions before peace talks could begin. The British government state- ment termed the message from Ho "a new and even more unaccept- able prior condition." .Tnhncnn cnnlrn *to+1,a nntinn visa. Pope Paul VI proposed on Sat- urday that neutral nations try to arbitrate the Viet Nam conflict. A U.S. spokesman declined to say whether the specific provision was connected with the Pope's appeal, but it was regarded as certain to be brought up in Council debate.

Alting said he had received no response from Rehmus or the other individuals on the ILIR and then decided to release his letter to the press. Harold Dorr, Dean of State- Wide Education (on the executive board of the Willow Village Pro- ject for the University's ILIR), said, however, that his letter was postmarked Jan. 25, 1966. A $188,252 grant from the Of- fice of Economic Opportunity (OEO) was awarded to the In- stitute of Labor-Industrial Rela- tions of the University and Wayne State University in January, 1965. The grant was "subcontracted" to the W i 11 o w Run Association for Neighborhood Development I (WRAND) for continuation and expansion of the community ac- tion projects which it had already begun in the Willow Village area. Alting's letter struck at ILIR interest in the local affairs of Willow Village when he said, "The institute let WRAND take the brunt of the political right-wing attacks earlier this year. It was not so much the attacks from SCOPAN (Study Committee on Poverty and Need) and REPLY (Return Every Penny and Leave Ypsilanti) which d e s t r o y e d WRAND but the inability of the inability of the institute to provide leadership to defend the Willow Village poverty program, Last Tuesday the University re- leased an official statement that its ILIR would withdraw from the poverty project in April of this year.

The result was a clarification of differences, a narrowing of issues, and establishment of a committee composed of three board members and three Flint representatives to eliminate the obstacles in the path toward a college for the Genesee county area. dicated that the board had reach- ed its decision on the Flint ques- tion last spring by a thorough study of state-wide educational needs in conjunction with leading national figures in higher educa- tion. Their conclusions : 1) There was an immediate need for a four-year college in the five county area around Flint. 2) There was an immediate need for the separation of the community college and the Uni- versity's branch. 3) There was an immediate need for the establishment of a naraite campusnat Flint for theI munity, and that he wished to see the college remain in the same hands as the men who are sup- porting it now. "We attempted to make a decision we thought was best for education in Flint." Donald M.D. Thurber, a mem- ber of the state board, said that "in the past few months and weeks, the issues have narrowed to two or three points: autonomy, separation, and a reasonable date for the formation of an autono- mous institution." "These do not seem to be in- superable obstacles," he noted. Flint, in reference to the dona- tions of Flint philanthropist C. S. Mott to the University for branch expansion. "This was donated to the University to bring power to the community," added Jacobi. Norman W. Bully, co-chairman of the Flint committee, said, "If we accept the board's proposal, the expansion of facilities by the University would come to a big halt." Lengthy Exchange After a lengthy exchange of ideas between the board and the Flint citizens, Brennan recom- mended the establishment of a By DAVID KNOKE VOICE political party last night called upon the University to re- ject the II-S student deferment as discriminatory, not to release transcripts of student's grades ex- cept on request of the individual involved ,and to reject the tests which the Selective Service is planning as an alternative to class ranking to determine draft de- ferments. "Our immediate concern is with the ranking issue," said Peter Di- Lorenzi, '64, chairman of VOICE, "because it will effect a great many men on campus, especially in the humanities as the result of Lt. Gen. Lewis Hershey's decision to make the lower 25 per cent of the male student body eligible for the draft." At the same time that VOICE opposed the discriminatory proc- ess of ranking and testing, they decried the II-S deferment as even more discriminatory in na- ture and operation. A "student's economic, social and racial back- ground to a very large extent ,i Amipcfh niia nl ar-mi fights the wars and who receives draft deferments. In particular, the VOICE state- ment cites the cost of higher edu- cation as being prohibitive against the entry of children of poor and non-college-educated parents. Re- ferring to a survey made in 1963, the statement claims that only 1.8 per cent of the University stu- dent body had parents who earn- ed less than $4000. Racial and academic discrimi- nation against students with a loW level o fachievement came under attack in the statement. Few Negroes "According to our figures, near- ly one-third of the Negro stu- dents who entered the University under the Opportunity Awards Program have dropped. out or been placed on probation for fail- ure to maintain academic stand- ing. The reasons cannot be attrib- uted to lack of native intelligence, but to an inability to perform and compete academically, which is a result of a socially isolated and educationally deprived b a c k- ground," said DiLorenzi.
