Nationwide War Protests Beginning Ann Arbor Activists Plan March in Detroit, Draft Board Picket In Ann Arbor and across the nation this morning, the Interna- tional Days of Protest have start- ed. Centering around a demand for the immediate withdrawal of United States, troops from Viet Nam, they will feature discussions rallies, picketing and marches in major cities. It is estimated that over 100,000 people will be involved in 200 cities and over 15 countries. 30,- 000 are expected to march in New York City alone. m As in Ann Arbor, many of the protests will be directed against the Selective Service as "the rep- resentative of the American war machine," in the words of a mem- ber of the steering committee which formulated the campus ac- tivists' plans. Activities Planned The Days of Protest will begin in Ann Arbor at 9 this morning with a vigil on the Diag. At noon a rally will be held, at which time 10 to 15 University students plan #t to leave on a march to Detroit. They will join up with the march- ers in Detroit Saturday afternoon. Later Friday afternoon the pro- testors will picket the Ann Arbor draft board. They will go into the board office in groups to deposit as individuals, signed protests 4J against the war. Friday evening a Viet Nam open house will be held in the Union. Picket Democrats The main event, a march down Woodward Ave. in Detroit, will start at four o'clock Saturday aft- ernoon. The march is being orga- nized by the Detroit Committee to End the War in Viet Nam, which is aiming for about 2000 partici- pants. The march will be followed by a rally on Campus Martius, where 2 number of speakers will address the marchers. This will be followed in turn by the picketing Saturday night of the state Democratic par- ty's Jackson and Jefferson Day dinner. l- mtr4tigal Baily NEWS WIRE MICHIGAN'S CHANCES OF GETTING the $375 million dollar atom smasher are seriously endangered by apathy among influential businessmen, industrialists and labor unions, accord- ing to Rep.

AN ECONOMIC UNION OF TEACHING fellows, patterned after one currently existing at the University of California at Berkeley, was considered last night when a group of about 20 teaching fellows met with Thomas Hill, an organizer for the AFL-CIO Michigan Federation of Teachers, Preliminary plans were discussed for the formation of a local University chapter of the MFT consisting principally of teaching fellows. Any teaching fellow interested in forming such a group should contact David Katzman at 665-6092. AMIDST MORE REPORTS OF SIGHTINGS of unidentified flying objects in Ann Arbor last night, the Air Force announced that it hopes to come up with an explanation for these sightings within 24 hours. The project officer in charge of the Unidenti- field Flying Objects said the investigation of the Michigan sight- ings is "beginning to shape up." Deputy Sheriff David Fitzpatrck came up yesterday with photographs of streaks of light in the sky which he said were made by unidentified flying objects he observed. A SINGLE FALL SORORITY RUSH was approved last night by Student Government Council after much heated debate'. Panhellenic Association had presented the proposal for fall rush in the form of constitutional amendments which were pass- ed last week by President's Council of Panhel.

New Honors Curriculum Established Offered to Studenits Who Desire More Independent Research By LUCY KENNEDY The Honors Council has cut the bonds of formal course structur with the creation of College Hon. ors 199 and 299, which are experi- ments in closer student-teacher discussions on subjects of the stu- dent's choosing. College Honors 199 is a group seminar class on material not cov ered by courses presently in the curriculum. The Honors Council established 199 as a credit course in last year's winter term. The Honors Council also agreed to recognize College Honors 299 as a credit course for independent research. It is aimed at individual students who want to study in some area not covered by any par. ticular course. Approval Students wishing to set up a 299 course must organize a bibliog- raphy, have a faculty member de- cide how many credit hours the student should be awarded, and re- ceive approval from a counselor and the Honors Council Executive Committee. A faculty sponsor and Honor; Council Executive Committee ap- proval are also necessary to set up a 199 course. This course has beer largely restricted to juniors and seniors in the literary college in at effort to get students with some background and keep the course on an intense level. Prof. Adon A. Gordus of the chemistry department and associ- ate director of the Honors Coun- cil, said that student requests foi these courses are generally accept- ed unless they duplicate a subjeci already in existence. The aim 01 the courses is to avoid as mucl structure and red tape as possi- ble. ,Scope Students of Cnni -Daily-Thomas R. Copi Student and faculty voiced many grievances and complaints at a meeting at the Architecture and Design School yesterday. Grievances centered around questions of curriculum and approach to teaching. SEEKING RECOGNITION: os DuBois Club To Oppos 'Co m -mulnis t-Fronat' Tag Criticize iculum, Only Slight Chacefor acfChange Seen' School Attacked for Gradepoint Pressure, 'Static Excellence By LYNNE ROTHSCHILD Growing student dissatisfaction with the curriculum and adminis- tration of the College of Archi- tecture and Design led to a com- plaint-filled open meeting of the college's Student-Faculty Commit- tee yesterday. Major student grievances were: -Current disagreement among faculty members in the architec- ture school over design philoso- phies, -Professors' use of grade points to influence students' work towards the design philosophies they be- lieve in, and --The architecture school grad- ually phasing out research by phasing out research-oriented pro- fessors. 'No Alternatives' Prof. Robert Lytle explained he is being forced to advise many students to work within a certain tradition and ignore alternative methods. Lytle termed such a sit- uaion "educational subversion." Many students objected to be- ing forced to do a rigidly defined senior thesis. -Some of the college's faculty members objected to the students' charges. Prof. Kingsbury Marzolf, co-chairman of yesterday's meet- ing, explained that the faculty has already approved a proposal to liberalize thesis requirements. A student in the crowd yelled out that this could not help this year's seniors. Conflicting Ideologies The conflict seems to express two trends of thought within the school. One group contends that design problems should be solved within the framework of a partic- ular philosophy of architecture. In this framework craftsmanship - what one student termed "static excellence"-is emphasized above all else. A second group stresses archi- tecture as a dynamic profession which requires what Rob Elfler, '67 A&D, called a "flexibility of thought." A variety of approaches and the importance of research are stressed. Many students feel that profes- sors are using the pressure of grade points to demand that stu- dents adhere to their particular technique. Chances 'Slim' Marzolf and other professors said the possibilities of the school's curriculum being changed to ex- press only one of these philosophies Latin Study One examole of the type of re- search done in College Honors 299 is a study made by a science stu- The recipients of the award A. Kaplowitz, Kenneth Verosub a Viet Nam Health Car By War According to Disrupted health services are the result of "a war that has no front" in Viet Nam according to Dr. Myron E. Wegman, dean of the University's School of Public Health. Dr. Wegman returned Wednes- day from Viet Nam where he was part of a Presidential task force sent to survey the health needs of the Southeast Asian nations. He noted that the war in Viet Nam offered even more problems in health and sanitation than most wars, because a war of this type is fought "everywhere and affects everyone." Although the language barrier a serious health problem with 1,794 new cases in Saigon since the first of the year. The Saigon cholera hospital, however, had lost only five persons. Dir. Wegman termed this incredible and said such a record would do credit to the best American hospitals. All areas of the country are affected by the war. The cities are faced with crowding and sanita- tion problems while the rural communities are constantly in danger of being completely cut off by the Viet Cong.

It will oppose American im- perialism as well as the more subtle imperialism of the Com- munist countries."~ These lines are taken from the proposed constitution of University1 chapter of the W.E.B. DuBois clubs, now being formed here. Not stated in the constitution, though, is the real purpose behind the planning of the club, which is to oppose United States At- torney General Nicholas Katzen- bach's recent move to have the DuBois clubs listed as a com- munist front organization. The organizers of the club believe Katzenbach's decision represents infringement of civil liberty. Nearing Completion The group behind the organiza- tion of the club is nearing com- pletion of its plans, having col- lected the twenty names necessary for a student organization to re- ceive official recognition. They soon hope to finish acquiring the requisite number of faculty spon- sors. Fraternity System Favors Eeof Colonies By RANDY FROST, - The establishment of a new Sigma Pi colony on campus is part of an overall expansion pro- gram planned by the Interfrater- nity Council. "With the number of registered rushees up 800 this year and the number of pledges up 200, the sys- tem 'mustdexpand to meet an in- creased demand," said Douglas Dunn, '67, executive vice-president of IFC. He called the establishment of a new fraternity such as Sigma Pi "an opportunity for the men to set the tone and direction of a fraternity in the absence of some Most fraternity men are gener- ally in favor of expanding the sys- tem, although several reservations are commonly held. One such fear is typified by the attitude of Gil- bert Premo, '67, president of Delta Sigma Phi, who feels that if the system is expanded, IFC energies would be diverted from assisting some of the weaker houses already existing. John Feldkamp, assistant to the vice-president for student affairs said "the benefits of the large rush helps all fraternities. The solution to the problems of some of the weaker fraternities does not lie in limiting the competition, but through internal changes in the Rothberger claims the govern- ment tried to harass SDS last fall, but failed "because most people realize, no matter what they think of SDS, that it isn't a front for any power or the Communist party." Thus the reasons behind his group's and the nationwide re- action to the attorney general's move "is to show unity among all the people interested in protecting civil liberties and to prevent an- other McCarthy 'era from happen- ing."
