Written by Univer- sity alumnus Robert P. Goldman and produced by Irving Gitlin, the documentary attempted to examine sexual attitudes stan- dards, changes, and trends-in American society. Opening with the psychedelic music and antics of the Mothers of Invention and flashes of New York City's 42nd St. marquees, the program progressed through 51 minutes of interviews and brief visits to the places where the na- tion's action is. "Playboy" editor Hugh Hefner Pass-Fail Not Used As Protest Haber Says Students Turned in Grades Despite Faculty Move By CAROLYN MIEGEL The pass-fail option given to some students last semester as a means of protesting the class rank- ing policy of the administration reportedly was not requested by any student. The pass-fail option, a policy initiated through a pledge of 35 faculty members during the Uni- versity-Student Government Coun- cil clash of last month, allowed students to request instructors to submit no letter grade as a means of showing his dissatisfaction with University policy towards class ranking for the Selective Service. Two Options The pass-fail option is not to be confused with the formal change in'academic policy which, when implemented, will enable junior and senior students to at- tend onenclass each semester In an area outside their field of con- centration in which they will re- ceive only a pass or fail grade. According to Prof. William Gamson cf the sociology depart- ment, one of the original signers of a pledge to withhold grades al- together, the petitioners "decided to turn in grades unless the stu- dent specifically asked for a pass- fail. Under the circumstances (the University policy classifying a pass-fail as a 'No Report' grade or an eventual 'E') students weren't encouraged to do so." No Requests To Gamson's knowledge, there were no such requests for a pass- fail option. Dean William Haber of the lit- erary college reported there were few of "No Report" grades and that apparently no student re- quested 'that his letter grade not be submitted to the University. Commentary Haber termed the absence of pass-fail grades "an interesting commentary" in that "folks must have r alized that there were ser- ious disadvantages to the students affected" and decided not to put the student's academic record in jeopardy. reiterated his condemnation of the "Puritan ethic" while the magazine's July 'playmate' claim- ed that her 'art' is no more lewd or obscene than Michelangelo's. Against a backdrop of Playboy Club bunnies and customers, a New York psychologist suggested that those currently "middle- aged" had been brought up in a generation that could "look but1 not touch," a generation of voy- eurs." , Scenes made in California's topless bathting suit night spots were juxtaposed against a visit to a Chicago Planned Parenthood Center where methods of contra- ception were being explained to a patient. Among those expressing opin- ions on sex in the sixties were the authors of the bestseller "Hu- man Sexual Response" Dr. Rob- ert Masters and Dr. Virginia Johnson; Dr. Mary S. Calderone, executive director of the Sex In- formation and Education Council of the United States; and Daily editor Mark Killingsworth. Fashion designer Rudi Gern- reich presented models in motion whose attire, which consisted of everything from peacock feathers to patches, was supposedly equally; representative of sex attitudes and mores. Even the world of the homo- sexual was surveyed with films made at a Washington protest of the Mattachine Society when members picketed the White House carrying signs proclaiming among other injustices "The Draft Dodges Us."

A Chinese-language broadcast monitored in Tokyo described the struggle with the army dissidents as "acute and complicated." Other Peking broadcasts claimed revolutionary "rebels" throughout the country were rallying behind Chairman Mao Tse-tung and that the people's liberation army backed his decision to reorganize the party's Military Cultural Revolution Committee. KEY EDUCATION advisors in the Johnson Administration have nothing yet in the way of higher education proposals to offer to this session of the Congress, highly-informed sources say. "We don't have anything for higher education this session," one White House education advisor is quoted as having said. A senior official in the Department of Health, Education and Wel- fare has added that "we've got our backs to the wall with the Congress this time," the sources say. * * * * THE UNIVERStTY's Professional Theatre Program will play a key role in a series of statewide theater tours being estab- lished by the Michigan State Council for the Arts. CoAnnouncement of the tour was made at the council's State 1sConference on the Arts in Lansing. Robert C. Schnitzer,, PTP executive director and a member of the council's theater committee, said PTP will organize a tour that will take live theatrical performances into approximately ' 20 communities and school districts in the Upper Peninsula and the northern Lower Peninsula. It is believed that this will be the first time that many of these communities will have had the opportunity to view a theatrical production of professional caliber. WASHINGTON-The United States is producing stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons that "provide a far-ranging offensive capability," a leading scientific journal said yesterday. Such stockpiles are one result of a research and development pro- gram on which the military services are spending about $150 millon yearly. said an article in the technical journal Science, the oficial weekly of the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science. mThe article, authored by Elinor Langer, a staff writer, said without amplification that: "U.S. policy concerning the use of chemical and biological weapons is ambiguous and contradictory. and is rendered even more so by the use of chemical weapons in Vietnam. Official secrecy makes a complete portrait of the chemical and biological weapons program difficult to construct." The writer declared that within the Defense Department, the program "is represented as being some kind of cross between defensive preparations, on the one hand. and peaceful by-products in preventive medicine, on the other." She added: "Defensive preparations are only one part of the program, for the United States is engaged in a comprehensive and flourishing . . . effort in chemical and biological weapons." Negro Schools Get Graduate Students For Tutorial Work By LYNNE KILLIN For students who would like to teach in a predominately Negro' college there are two organiza- tions on campus which will help finds jobs, the Southern Teaching Program (STP) and the Recruit- ment of Southern Teachers (RST). With combined efforts they hope to place at least 25 students with one year or more of graduate work in teaching posi- tions. The participating Negro schools vary greatly in academic quality, size and resources. However, they, have one thing in common: they say they need more faculty. Since they offer many programs in the summer, these colleges critically need replacements for vacation- ing teachers as well as larger full_ staff academic staffs. !These programs are diverse in nature. Some help raise the scho-_ lastic level of entering freshmen, many of whom have never owned a book or been in a library. RST and STP help fulfill this need by trying to find teachers fromaall disciplines; however STP is making special efforts to secure those with mathematical or Eng- lish backgrounds. The additionalI staff would enable regular faculty f to do research and advanced study, as well as to up-date1 courses. In three years STP has placed a over 300 individuals in 35 schools p while RST, operating for two years, has found 65 teachers for V 31 colleges. Michigan, in the last c two years, has contributed 20 rep- e resentatives to STP and five toa RST; however Fred Schulze, ex-d ecutive director of STP, stressed that the Negro colleges have the p final say about the candidates. g Candidates will be interviewedf by University faculty members n and graduate students who haveS had experience relating to these colleges.

INCLUDES SDS MEMBERS: MSU Students Form Union To Disrupt Selective Service Conflict Not To Affect State Board Memibers Favor No Formal Move To Disqualify Votes By LAURENCE MEDOW Conflict of interest apparently will not effect the voting privileges of members of the State Board of Education, according to several board members. Board members interviewed yes- terday indicated that they would not favor a formal move which which would disqualify the votes of members with a conflict of in- terest. The question of conflict of in- terest, whereby members could be affecting the educational institu- tions that employ them, has been sharpened since Leroy Augenstein, chairman of the bio-physics de- partment at Michigan State Uni- versity, became a member of the board Jan. 1. Now before the board is a pro- posal to expand thempresent two- year medical program at MSU in- to a full four year curriculum. Rev. Charles Morton, a lecturer, at Oakland University, and MSU branch, has also been attacked for voting on the medical edu- cation issue. In answer to these charges, Morton said yesterday, "The point of the question of conflict of in- terest is to get you to resolve the conflict or resign from the board." It is a matter of the rela- tionship of the two positions and, thus, "if you remain on the board, a conflict of interest is not a justifiable reason for abstaining," Morton explained. Morton also pointed out: The key word in conflict of interest legislation is "substantial" and Morton is a lecturer, not a full faculty member with a vote on faculty affairs. He is no ad- ministrative or policy-makiiia po- sition at Oakland. Not College Representatives Board member Carmen Delli- Quadri, an instructor at Michigan Technological University, s a i d "Board members are elected state- wide and run as individual cit- izens, not as representatives of the institutions they work for." Peter Oppewall, a board mem- ber who works for Northern Mich- igan University, said, however, that he is in favor of the board taking a formal policy stand on conflict of interest since five of the eight board members receive pay from state-supported educa- tional institutions.

"I thing the label 'draft dodg- er' seriously misses the point," he said. "I think a draft dodger has no problems with his conscience, and therefore is morally irrespon- sible."
