Deferment Rules


ixesuut oj Swam

DETROIT M)-Some of Michi-
gan's flying saucers were in effect
shot down yesterday by a special
M Air Force investigator who said
they probably were swamp gasses
and not unidentified flying ob-
jects-TUFOs.
But some of those who said
they saw the objects remained
unconvinced.
Meanwhile, Rep. Gerald Ford
(R-Mich) called for a full Con-
gressional investigation of the
"UFO" incidents.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek discussed his
findings at an overflow news con-
ference after spending almost a
week interviewing persons in the
Ann Arbor and Hillsdale areas
where most of the sightings orig-
inated.
Hynek is a Northwestern Uni-
versity astrophysicist and scienti-
fic consultant for the Air Force.
Numerous Sightings
Numerous UFO sightings have
been reported in recent weeks,
many of them by lawmen.
Hynek emphasized his investi-
gatiQn was confined to two specific
days of sightings and did not
cover all of those reported.
"I am not making a blanket
statement to cover the entire UFO
phenomena over the last 20 years,"
Hynek said.
Can't Prove
"I emphasize that I cannot
prove in a court of law that this
is the full explanation of these
sightings. It appears very likely,
however, that the combination of
the conditions of this particular
winter-an unusually mild one in
this area-and the particular
weather conditions were such as
to have produced this unusual and
puzzling display."
Hynek said his study was con-
fined to March 20 sightings made
near Dexter, a small community
about 50 miles southwest of De-
troit, and one made at Hillsdale,
about 100 miles west, on March 21.
Although there have been num-
erous other reports of UFOs in
the state, Hynek said he would
not investigate them because not
enough persons had seen them.
He said he investigated only those
sightings seen by a large group of
witnesses.
Grounds for Investigation
"If only one person reports see-
ing something, it might be dis-
counted," Hynek said. "But if 10
or 20 report seeing similar objects
then it is grounds for scientific
investigation."
Hynek also pointed out that
photos released to the press Thurs-

day which showed two lights in
the sky over a series of street
lights were "without any question"
trails made as a result of a time
exposure of the rising moon and
the planet Venus.
The photos, taken March 17
near Milan, Mich., about 25 miles
southwest of Detroit, have no
reference to the March 21 sight-
ings at Hillsdale, to the north,
Hynek said.
Hynek noted that most of the
sightings were near a swamp.
- Dismal Swamp
"A dismal swamp is a most un-
likely place for a visit from outer
space," Hynek said.
"It is not a place where a heli-
copter would hover for several
hours or where a soundless secret
device would likely be tested."
Most witnesses to the flying
objects described them as having
glowing lights, some red, green
and yellow and appearing to move

NEWS WIRE
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT HARLAN HATCHER last night
gently chided California for creating a Michigan-to-California
"brain drain."
Hatcher, speaking at a banquet honoring newly-inaugurated
Berkeley chancellor Roger W. Heyns, former University vice-
president for academic affairs, noted that in the last few years
California has selected for top posts four top University faculty
members.
"The University is on the eve of its 150th anniversary,"
Hatcher commented, "and we recognized an obligation to assist
states and universities which are younger than we are. Yet I feel
impelled to say that we believe Michigan's obligation to help
California has now been fully satisfied."
NEW MEMBERS OF THE LITERARY COLLEGE Steering
Committee were announced yesterday by Chairman Robert
Golden, '67. They are Katherine Adams, '68; Elizabeth Aries, '69;

The total membership of next fall's committee is now 20.
Golden commented, "We have expanded the size of the committee

'DAYS OF PROTEST' BEGIN:

Frigid Weather Mellows. Demonstrators' Spirits

....

By NEIL SHISTER
It was cold and snowing on the
Diag and it was lunch time. There
was a rally going on and the peace
signs and buttons were out in
force, but somehow everything
seemed too tired - the picketers,
the speakers, and even the passers-
by. If THE movement hasn't lost
its own self-momentum, it seemed
yesterday to have lost much of its

public charisma, but then again
it was awfully cold outside.
On the steps of the general li-
brary Tom Mayer of the sociology
department was making a good if
perhaps lengthy speech criticizing
the American rationale for fight-
ing the Viet Nam war, but no-
body seemed really to be listening.
He made the same points which
traditionally bring shouts, both
pro and con at these affairs, but

yesterday they seemed to fall an
deaf ears.
When he and the other speakers
finished giving their talks there
was a thumping-like applause, the
sound of leather gloves hitting
each other, but it sounded like it
was coming more out of courtesy
than real conviction.

so far, was strangely missing. The
picketers and the speakers looked
like people with more of a job than
a real mission to perform, and
they efficiently but unemotionally
went through the motions of get-
ting it done. All the ingredients
for a good rally were there except
for the spark.
