NEWS WIRE
GRADUATE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT James Me-
Evoy, Grad, asserted last night that the Republican Party may
challenge many student voters at the polls in the upcoming
City Council election. However, Ann Arbor GOP Chairman
Charles Reinhart denied that student voting rights will be
challenged differently from, those of any other group in the
community. "We are certainly not going'to pick on the students,"
Reinhart said.
McEvoy, who has been active in efforts to get University
students to register for the council election, said his information
came from a discussion with Republican Second Ward Chairman
James Brinkerhoff. Brinkerhoff could not be reached for comment
last night.
Each political party normally has a "challenger" at every
poll during an election to question any person's right to cast
a vote. The challenger can insist that a prospective voter produce
his registration certificate and then have the local election
official check the registration against records compiled by the
city clerk. If the registration is ruled to be valid, the prospective
voter can cast a ballot. The party can pursue the matter further
only by going to court and challenging the validity of the
precinct's election returns.
STUDENT SHOULD BE AWARE of a fake company calling
themselves the Omega Watch Company which is perpetrating a
fraud watch sale on campuses, John Morton of the Customs
Agency Services warned the University yesterday.
A representative of the company is taking orders for watches
from students and sending the money to a company in Zurich,
Switzerland, which in turn sends the watches directly to the
students as a $10 unsolicited gift thereby avoiding duty charges.
The watches are not genuine Omegas and are not worth theI
money being charged for them.
If anyone has come in contact with this organization, contact
John Morton, Customs Agency Services, 243 West Congress,
Detroit.
THE ANN ARBOR HOUSING COMMISSION'S PLAN to con-
struct two hundred low-income housing units with federal funds
does not necessarily exclude students.
According to Councilman Robert Weeks (D-3) Public Housing
Association authorities in Chicago will leave any requirements in
regard to housing up to the commission and the City Council.
A favorable attitude on the part of these two .groups would
therefore open the new units to married and/or graduate students.

CONTROVERSY OVER the origin of the UFO's observed by
many residents of the Ann Arbor area continues. Angry denials
came from people who had seen the objects after a statement
by a Northwestern University professor of astrophysics that all
they had been was "swamp gas." Sheriff Douglas Harvey retorted
that he was sure his men "saw some type of vehicle in the sky."
An aeronautical engineer said yesterday that he had observed
a UFO Friday night approach within ten feet of the ground
behind the Veterans Hospital on Fuller Road. Emil Grenier said
that he watched a "brilliant light in the sky" for approximately
two minutes, and that he was convinced it was "an electronic
phenomenon." He said that the object had made manuevers that
an airplane was incapable of, such as suddenly coming to a stop.
Another witness described essentially the same sight which he
had observed through the windshield of his car, while driving
down Fuller.

IHA Plans
Active Dorm
Programs
Work To Increase
Student Involvement
In Campus Activities
By JOEL DORF
Inter House Assembly, formed
early this year by the merger of
Assembly Association and Inter-
quadrangle Council, wants to gen-
erate enough enthusiasm among
students to make their residence
hall years enjoyable ones, accord-
ing to Sherry Meyer, '69, president
of IHA.
The primary function of IHA
will be to provide communications
and service to those who live in
the dorms, and to make dormitory
life more interesting and benefi-
cial, she said.
In the area of communications,
IHA will explain to freshmen the
functions of important campus or-
ganizations, such as SGC and
UAC. The organization will also
inform freshmen of the opportun-
ities open to them for membership
in the various organizations.
Encourage Speaker Program
Feeling that an intellectual and
academic atmosphere is often
lacking in the dorms, IHA has
made plans to encourage faculty
members to come and speak to
the various houses. The plans in-
clude the possibility of a speaker
directory. IHA also plans to en-
large the scholarship programs of
Assembly and IQC.
One of the areas of endeavor of
IHA will be coordinating housing
activities. In this regard, a
"brother-sister" program between
Allen-Rumsey and Palmer houses{
is presently in the planning stage.
The coordination program en-
visions activities such as providing
tutoring for students needing it,
and distributing house sweatshirts.
By programs such as these, IHA
hopes to decrease the disparities
between the activities of the var-
ious houses.
Better Social Calendar
They also hope to formulate a
better orientation calendar for the
fall in the hope of increasing the
success of mixers. In the social
area, lIHA also hopes to come up
with a fairer and more equitable
open-open policy.
Miss Meyer sees "unlimited op-
portunities" for improving dorm1
conditions and atmosphere. "Stu-i
dents merely have to take a voice
in their own affairs. Enthusiasmc
must be generated and information
distributed, and IHA hopes to do1
this," she said.I

Change Plan
For Married
Housing Unit
Plan Northwoods on
North Campus Site;
'Use FHA Guidlines
By SUSAN ELAN
In the planning of new housing
for married students, the Student
Housing Advisory Committee hats
decided to put both Northwood 4
and 5 housing projects on the
same site on North Campus while
the University will use Federal
Housing Act construction stan-
dards in building these units in-
stead of University building stan-
dards, according to John Bishop,
Grad, member of the housing com-
mittee.
Previously only Northwood 4
was planned for the North Cam-
pus site. The project would be fi-
nanced under the College Housing
Act which allows the University
to borrow up to four million dol-
lars a year at three per cent in-
terest.
Bishop explained that the com-
mittee had hoped that both North-
wood 4 and 5 would be financed
under the 221 D3 section of the
Federal Housing Act. 221 D3 would
allow the University to borrow
any amount of money from the
government at three per cent in-
terest rate forr40 years. However
in order to borrow the money the
University would have to set up
a nonprofit corporation which will
need approval by the Regents.
Ready by 1967
Since the committee and the
University want the first 400 units
of Northwood built by the summer
of 1967, these units will have to
come under the College Housing
Act as 221 D3 would take too long
to be approved by the government
with up to a year's delay.
The University will be using the
minimum building standards of
FHA, which all apartment build-
ers use, instead of its own stan-
dard in' order to keep the rents
from exceeding present North-
wood rents, Bishop said.
The University's standard is
much more rigid and a much high-
er quality of construction since
it is built to last 100 years. Under
FHA standards buildings have a
60-year life-span, Bishop said.
Construction Costs
The change to FHA standards
was necessary to keep rents down
since construction costs have gone
up tremendously and made build-
ing under University standards
too expansive, Bishop explained.
After Northwood 5 all married
housing will be financed under
221 D3 since there is no limit on
funds available while College
Housing loans will be used to
finance dorms and the residential
college, Bishop said.
The Northwood 4 project is
meant especially for married stu-
dents with children. It will provide
more room than the present
Northwood housing units which
are mainly one bedroom apart-
ments and accommodate married
students without children.
The committee has proposed
that the 400 units of Northwood
4 be townhouse types with one-
third to one-half having three
bedrooms with the rest two bed-
rooms. The composition of the
400 units of Northwood 5 has not
been discussed, Bishop said.
The Student Housing Advisory
Committee has suggested that 50

The troops of protestors were
lined up 2,000 strong along North
Grand Circus, waiting for the
march down Woodward Avenue to
begin. They stood close-packed in
the cold and wind, waiting pa-
tiently and talking. Also lined up
along the street was a large de-
tachment of Detroit police-in the
white, blue striped cars of the
Tactical Mobile Units, on horse-
back, on motorcycle and on foot.
At 4:30 it began. The string of
marchers, five abreast, pulled out
onto Woodward and headed to-
ward a rally on the Campus Mar-
tius, where they were met by a,
screaming, angry anti - protest
band called Breakthrough, and
where the only violence of the day
occurred.
Following the rally they pro-
ceeded further down Woodward

In response to this move, Uni-

and their relations to the people

country.
More than a dozen groups were
represented: from Ann Arbor

plethora of groups, the largest be-
ing End the War in Viet Nam,
which organized and led the
march.
As the marchers walked the few
blocks to the Campus Martius,
many were silent, most talked
among themselves, and a few oc-
casionally struck up an anti-war
chant which inevitably died out
within a half a minute.
Violent Opposition
But the main opposition was
much more vocal, supplied by a
rabid and increasingly hysterical
group of 35 or 40 called Break-
through who paraded down Wood-
ward alongside the marchers (at
a distance).
Breakthrough broke the ring of
peacefulness and dullness that sur-
rounded the march with the only
violence of the day.
After one member took a swing
at one of the protestors, all were
immediately hustled across the
street by the police where the
group name-called for the rest
of the rally. Half-way through a
fight broke out among four men,
and once again the police quickly
broke in and ended it. One of the
men was charged with carrying a
concealed weapon.

At the arena picket lines were

Later that evening Tom Hayden,
addressing a crowd of about 600
in the arena, spoke on "What the

sometimes eloquently, he gave a

present U.S. policy, from inter-

Anti-War Marches
Erupt Across Nation

BUSINESS BOOMING:
Debate Value of Student Renta

By The Associated Press
Thousands of demonstrators
marched through tense streets
from New York to San Francisco
yesterday, parading their opposi-
tion to America's war in Viet Nam.
The marches were the climax of
the second international days of
protest a sequel to antiwar dem-
onstrations that sparked riots and
a counter-wave of patriotic fervor
last October.
Thousands of people paraded
down Fifth Avenue in New York
as the showplace in the weekend
of nationwide antiwar demonstra-
tions.
Insults
Hecklers threw insults, and
some eggs and tomatoes, at the
New York marchers, whose spon-
sors claimed they were 20,000
strong.
At one point, spectators broke
through a shoulder to shoulder
line of policemen guarding the
parade route and engaged in a
brief fist fight with marchers who
were carrying Viet Cong flags.

ing insults. There was a brief
scuffle between hecklers and
marchers.
In Washington, several hundred
from rival groups demonstrated
near the White House. Police ar-
rested two men from the American
Nazi party after they burned a
Viet Cong flag taken from peace
pickets.
Police estimated 1,500 to 2,000
people marched from Cambridge
Common to Boston for an antiwar
rally outside the Arlington Street
church across from Boston Public
Garden.
Counterpickets
At Miami's John F. Kennedy
Torch of Friendship, about 100
pickets gathered with signs in
English and Spanish calling for
peace talks. Counterpickets also
appeared.
In Cleveland, about 350 to 400
college students staged a Viet Nam
protest march. There were about
25 counterpickets but no incidents.

The Student Rental Service, set
up at the beginning of this month
to help students sublet apartments
for the summer trimester, is op-
erating a fairly booming business
despite criticism by some student
leaders.
SRS manager Archie Allen,
Grad, reported that 250 students
looking for summer renters have
 igned eontracts and 250 more

students who want SRS to find
summer apartments for them.
David DeBoer of Misco Man-
agement, one of the property man-
agement companies that establish-
ed SRS, explained that it was not
set up as a money-making venture
but as a service for students.
Despite DeBoer's contention that
the establishment of the SRS was
set up to help students, John

possibility of instituting an eight-
month lease option, even with a
rent hike, is an "impossible task"
because of the time consumed in

apartments twice a year instead
of on a yearly scale.
