Returning from the 10-day journey were: Tom Hayden, a social organizer, one of the foun- ders of Students for a Democratic Society and a former editor of the Daily, Prof. Staughton Lynd, of the sociology department at Yale University and Herbert Ap- theker, director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies and a theoritician of the American Communist Party. There has been as yet no in- dication whether either the Jus- tice or State Departments will take action against the three. There is a ban for United States citizens against travel to North Viet Nam. According to the New York Times, customs officials relieved Hayden of some literature at Ken- nedy Airport including two soft- Viet Naia cover books and some tape re- cordings. A customs spokesman said the material would be exam- ined to determine if it was sub- versive. Attitudes Clarfied Lynd and Hayden gave a press conference upon their return at the airport. They said that the North Vietnamese "do not trust America's offers of unconditional peace negotiations." Although they said that they did not return, "with a dramatic concession or an exquisite peace feeler," they felt the trip did bring "significant clarifications" of North Viet- namese attitudes towards the United States. Lynd later added, "that many ingredients of an honorable settlement exist." In a statement, Lynd and Hay- den said that North Viet Nam and the Communist-led National Lib- eration Front demand "an un- ambiguous decision" by the U.S. to withdraw troops as a condition for negotiation. I'Trip However, they added that the Communists were willing to offer America "considerable freedom in choosing how to demonstrate by concrete steps that this decision has been made." N.

Prof. Eldon Nonnamaker, asso- ciate dean of students at MSU, announced yesterday that Schiff would be allowed to register for Winter Term. Schiff has claimed in a lawsuit against the univer- sity that he was unjustifiably de- nied readmission last June be- cause of his previous activist be- havior on campus. Schiff told The Daily that his reacceptance did not in any way represent "a reconciliation with the university in any philosophi- cal sense." When asked if he might proceed to sue MSU for damages stemming from their re- fusal to readmit him, Schiff re- plied that, "that certainly isn't out of the question." ACLU and AAUP Act The announcement that Schiff would be readmitted followed ac- tions by both the American Civil Liberties Union and the American Association'of University Profes- sors severely criticizing MSU for its initial refusal to reaccept him. Both the ACLU 'and the AAUP filed briefs with the Grand Rap- ids District Court accusing .MSU of depriving Schiff of his consti- tutional rights. When asked if Schiff's read- mission signified a change in Michigan State policy, Prof. Non- namaker replied that, "there has been no change in university pol- icy. The university may keep a student out for one, two, or three terms, but rarely is a student kept out longer than that." Nonna- maker stated that he felt MSU's original charges against Schiff in denying him readmission were still valid, but he explained that all cases of disciplinary action by the university are subject to later re- view, as was true in this case. Hailed as 'Victory' Prof. Walter Adams, head of the Michigan State AAUP chapter which previously criticized the ad- ministration, hailed the move as .a victory both for Schiff and for the university. He stated that he was pleased that the matter could be resolved by an internal decision of the university rather than by a court order. "We have always believed," Ad- ams stated, "that, where reason prevails, the university is perfect- ly capable of self-government.

The move makes the' ordinances law. Councilman Paul John- son cast a single dissenting vote in the high-rise ballot, but the parking ordinance was passed unanimously. The ordinances were drawn from a report written by a committee of University, com- munity and private representatives. "Course evaluation questionnaires must be mailed within the next two days," a representative of the Committee for Course Evaluation said yesterday. "The response must be immediate and large in order for the committee to compile a meaningful booklet before preregistration," he emphasized. Approximately 1000 questionnaires have been received to date. * * * * Contrary to the report in Sunday's Daily, the SDS protest against the reclassification of 12 University students involved in the draft board sit in on Oct. 15 will occur from Feb. 10 to 17 instead of Jan. 10-17.

Bradford Perkins of the history department and E. 1 Lowell Kelly of the psychology de- partment questioned the role of j the newly established State Board of Education. They also discussed the extent to which the Board poses a threat to the autonomy of the various institutions of higher education throughout the state. The Board, which was created in its present form by the Con- stitutional Convention of 1963 and took office last January, has been envisioned by many -as a potential threat to the traditional inde- pendence of the various universi- ties throughout the state. The Board has also been criti- cized because of its inherent, bureaucratic nature and its seem- ing status as an unwanted "mid- dleman" to further complicate and prolong relationships between the various institutions and the state Legislature. to monopolize the state's educa- al deminition of the board's proper tional prestige.

Pressure on Congress Earlier this year, Congress, un- der heated pressure from univer- sity officials, dropped the 20 per cent limit on reimbursement for indirect costs under federal re- search grants. The appropriations committees of Congress replaced this with a "mandatory cost shar- ing plan." Under the plan, in- stitutions receiving a grant must now pay a portion of the total cost of the project, hopefully a lesser percentage than under the indirect cost reimbursement form- ula.
