The resolutions will not be acted upon until the next Assembly meeting on March 20, if then, according to Prof. James G. Wen- del of the mathematics depart- ment, vice-chairman of SACUA. "The likelihood of any special meeting is small," Wendel contin- ued. "The Assembly as a matter of routine expects SACUA to bring any major proposals to it before acting on them." The Assembly tabled two resolu- tions on the matter, which said: --"Although we recognize that certain needs of communication within the University community will continue to need attention for a long time, we do not feel that an investigation of The Daily would meet these needs or serve I the community at this time." -"Resolved, that it be the sense of the Assembly that SACUA not proceed with the establish- ment of a committee to review, the functions of the Board in Con- trol of Student Publications." The discussion of the resolution followed three major trends in debate Wendel reported. -A group of Assembly members feel that any "investigation" of Board policies should be held either by the Board itself or by SACUA, after a "more specific request" from the Board. -Another group believes that' the faculty should seek a greater voice and responsibility in Uni- versity affairs and feels that by' not acting on the Board's request. faculty members are "not ac- cepting the challenge." -A third group of Assembly members said at the meeting that The Daily's editorial freedom should not be limited by an in- vestigation. They added that a study of all campus news media migh be desirable. Wendel termed Killingsworth's remarks "good." It is The Daily editor's "responsibility to be sen- sitive to editorial freedom, but perhaps he was more sensitive than he had to be," Wendel added. ;01 4 Atrigau Batty NEWS WIRE By The Associated Press THE NATIONAL STUDENT CONFERENCE on Vietnam wound up its final session at 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning at Cor- nell University by passing a resolution harshly critical of the United States' policy in Vietnam.

The conference, attended by ,140 delegates from 45 eastern colleges and universities, saw a walkout of 9 delegates from Ford- ham, St. John's (Brooklyn), Rutgers, and Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, who charged that invited speakers had not preserved a fair pro-con balance and that Administration sup- porters had been heckled and hissed. * * * * ANN ARBOR POLICE checked into a scene of "Marat/de Sade" on the basis of a telephoned comment last night.

The Board rejected the slate by a 7-4 vote because of the recom- mendation of Roger Rapoport, '68, as editor. The Board created rio alternate slate of editors and will meet Thursday for further delib- eration. "We were unable to accept the slate of recommendations with Rapoport as editor," explained Board Chairman Prof. Luke C. Cooperrider of the law school. Cooperrider told the senior editors that the Board found "Rapoport unacceptable as editor." The Board has overturned a slate of Daily editors only once in twenty-five years. No alternate slate of editors were created. The Daily's editors released a statement following the meeting which said: "The senior editorial staff has met and has considered the Board's statement. It believes strongly and unanimously that Roger Rapoport is the .pest can- didate for editor and he alone de- serves the post. We will not put him in another post. We cannot and will not consider substituting another candidate. The senior and junior sports staff, the senior and business staffs and the junior editorial staff fully concur In this belief." At the conclusion of the meet- ing, Cooperrider issued a state- ment. "After very serious deliberati'n we found we were unable to ac- cept the recommendations. Ac- cording to normal board procedure they ask the Seniors to submit a new slate of recommendations. The Seniors have refused to con- sider revising the recommenda- tions. The Board then scheduled another meeting for Thursday to discuss the statement of the Sen- iors and have further delibera- tion." Cooperrider said he hoped The Daily staff would continue to pub- lish the paper in the interim. The Board is a panel composed of faculty, administration, stu- dents and alumni and is charged with overseeing the function: of student publications at the Uni- versity. It recently requested the Senate Advisory Committee on UniversitydAffairs to conduct an investigation into the relationship between the Board and the Daily's operation. Cooperider added that although the recommendations of the senior staff are given great weight by the Board, "it is clear that the final responsibility in regard to senior appointments rests with the Board." Vice-President for Student Af- fairs Richard L. Cutler and Vice- President for University Relations, M~ichael Raddock, both members of the board, would not comment on the proceedings. .. Steven Schwartz, '67, an elected student menber of the Board said, "I did not vote in the majority opinion of the Board in rejecting the slate for Senior editorial posi- tions submitted by- the outgoing Senior staff.'I found the proposed slate both desirable and in the best interests of The Daily." Stephen Berkowitz, another stun dent member of the Board, said "I feel I must disassociate myself strongly from the action of the Board. I feel that this action Is not in the spirit of editorial free- dom which The Daily has enjoyed in the past." Kenneth Winter, Grad, the third student member of the Board, said he thought the Board action was a big *mistake.
