4 A four-point student ultimatum
was drawn up Wednesday for
presentation to the Berkeley ad-:

yesterday.

Student Demands
The demands, written by an ex-
o ecutive committee composed of
members from the Council of
Campus Organizations, the Grad-1
uate Coordinating Committee and
an independent group, include:
-that policemen never be al-
lowed on campus to solve campus

LOS ANGELES (P) - Gov.
elect Ronald Reagan told strik-
ing students yesterday at the
University of California's Berk-
eley campus to "accept and obeyI
the prescribed rules or get out."
"The people of California pro-
vide free access to an education
unmatched anywhere in theI
world," Reagan said. "They have
a right to lay down rules and a
code of conduct for those who
accept that gift."
that administrators seek publicly
and forcibly to have charges drop-
ped against the people arrested;
-that university disciplinary
hearings be open and that the
hearings be bound by canons of
due proces comparable to those al-
ready published by CCO, and
-that negotiations begin which
will establish a system of just and
effective student representation in
the formulation of a new set of
policies regulating student acti-
vity.
The ultimatum came in reac-
tion to an incident Wednesday
night when six non-students were
arrested for protesting a Navy re-
cruiting drive.
Both the Student Senate of the
Associated Students of the univer-
sity and teaching assistants have
endorsed a boycott of classes,. pro-

reporter on the Daily Californian,
the campus newspaper, about 30
classes were cancelled yesterday.:
NEW YORK O'P)-A strike threatened against Pan American
Airways, largest U.S. international carrier, was averted yesterday
night when tentative agreement was reached on a work contract
with the Transport Workers Union, AFL-CIO.
The agreement is subject to ratification by the union mem-
bership.
The agreement came after hours of negotiations during
which the strike, originally set for noon Friday, was set back on
an hour-to-hour basis.

AMMAN, Jordan ()P)-King Hussein of Jordan made a bitter
attack last night on neighboring Syria and Egypt, charging them
with attempting to undermine Jordan's existence.
Without mentioning names, Hussein said "certain Arab
revolutionist Socialist countries" wanted to see him removed and
destroyed and "that's why they're sending saboteurs into Jordan."
WASHINGTON, (A')-The Pentagon called today for a Febru-
ary draft of 10,900 men, the lowest monthly manpower request
since March 1965.
Only a few days ago the Pentagon cut the January draft
from an originally set 27,600 to 16,600.
The low 1966 draft calls were forecast by secretary of De-
fense Robert S. McNamara after recent discussions with Presi-
dent Johnson on future military needs.
McNamara has said the United States is approaching a level-
ling off point in both manpower and defense production require-
ments.
The 10,900 men requested of the Selective Service will go to
the Army.
The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that lower draft
calls will ease a squeeze on 26-year olds and college students.
Next years' slash in induction of new soldiers will save the 26-
year olds indefinitely from being called; some were to be taken
in early 1967. Also the tighter standards for student deferments
which were in the works for next year are being shelved now.
THE FACULTY OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE will consider a
proposal to introduce a pass-fail option for students, according
to Dr. Thomas E. Colahan, the college's associate dean for aca-
demic affairs.
The broad outlines of the proposal were laid down this sum-
mer by the college's administration. The college's committee on
instruction is currently working out details of the proposal prior
to submitting it to the faculty for a vote of approval, said
Colahan.
As it currently stands, the proposal is expected to permit
students to take one course with a pass-fail option each semester
outside their major fields.
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Harlan Hatcher and Vice-Presi-
dent for Academic Affairs Allan Smith are in Lansing today on
business concerning the 1967 University budget. They will dis-
cuss the proposed budget with state legislators in preliminary
budget hearings.
A PILOT PROJECT geared to the needs of approximately
120 intellectually gifted children in grades five to eight in the
Detroit inner city schools will be offered by the Education Stim-
ulus Center of the Archdiocesan Opportunity Program, according
to Dr. Robert O'Neil, director of the new center.
College instructors and graduate students are needed on a
paid basis to guide classes on a two-hour per week schedule, he
said. Further information may be obtained by calling Dr. O'Neil
at 832-2600, Ext. 34.

LOUNGING LEISURELY ON THE FLOOR and around the walls of the Administration Bldg., students discussed recent campus events
through an improvised loudspeakers yesterday. Particularly topics of interest included class ranking, the possibility of withholding
grades and the sending of a student delegation to the literary college faculty meeting on Monday.

Participants
Approve Proposal
To Send Delegates
To Faculty Meeting
By SUSANELAN
More than 200 students and
faculty members crowded into the
lobby of the Administration Bldg.
yesterday at 12:15 for. a three-
and-a-half-hour "talk-in."- At
about 3:30 p.m. a large majority
of the group voted to leave the
building and to reconvene the
"talk-in" at the Administration
Bldg. Monday at noon.
While students were debating a
proposal to go to the office of
Dean William Haber of the liter-
ary college to discuss the question
of abolishing formal letter grades
for male students, Haber unex-
pectedly arrived.
At no time were students asked
to leave.
Haber was questioned for al-
most an hour on the possibility
of student admittance to Monday's
meeting of the faculty senate com-
mittee and the submission of pass-
fail grades for male students.
Haber informed the group tha
he did not have the authority to
invite any non-faculty member to
a literary co-llege faculty meet-
ing. He said that such an invi-
tation would have to, come from
the faculty as a whole.
Haber refused to comment on
faculty submission of pass-fail
grades for male students. He said,
"I do not wish to influence the
faculty on a question which is
on the agenda. I think that I
serve the interest of the faculty
best by not making a decision be-
fore they act."
While students and faculty
members at the "talk-in" discuss-
ed student power and its impli-
cations and inmplementation, the
normal functioning of the build-
ing continued. The "talk-in,"
chaired by Michael Zweig, Grad,
chairman of Voice Political par-
ty and Roger Manela, Grad, also
of Voice, lacked the tension and
excitement of the 1500 students
who jammed the building for Tues-
day's sit-in.
Delegation to Faculty
The "talk-in" ended when a pro-
posal to reconvene Monday at
noon in the lobby of the Admin-
istration Bldg. was overwhelming-
ly passed. At the Monday "talk-
in" the discussion of student pow-
er will continue until 4 p.m., at
which time a delegation will be
sent to the literary college fac-
ulty meeting.
The delegation will ask the fac-
ulty to approve the submission of
pass-fal grades for male students
and to make a statement oppos-
ing the administration's policy of
class ranking for the Selective
Service.

With so many scientists now ris-
ing to executive positions-almost
a third of all physicists do so--
Platt fears a situation in which
major decisions of technological,
military and international matters
are made by persons insensitive to
the problems of men outside their
fields, in art, history, philosophy.
The professorial emphasis on
learning quantities of factual in-
formation is a great contributor to
this condition. The educational
goals of universities are distorted
by teachers' "hypnotism with
grades." And women are largely
still discriminated against intel-
lectually, charges Platt.
SGC could select the student mem-
bers of the commission. In his
original statement Hatcher had'
asked SGC to submit a list of 12
names from which he would pick
four to serve on the commission.
Mark Simons, '67, SGC Admini-
istrative Vice-President, said he
thinks SGC should choose the
commission members from stu-
dents who submit petitions to
SGC. Petitioning should be open
to the entire student body, he
added.,
Town Meeting Nominations
Cindy Sampson suggested that
a "town meeting of interested
students" nominate perhaps ten
students from which SGC and
GSC would select four for the
commission. It is necessary to have
as large a group as possible par-
ticipate, she said.
She did not see the necessity of
selecting the students immediately,
but said rather that time should
be taken to "do it right" so that
"the most students are satisfied."
Ruth Baumann, '68 and Neill
Hollenshead, '67 agreed that SGC
should consider suggestions from
an open meeting, but Hollenshead
added that SGC "should not be
restricted to nominations from a
teach-in." They also cited the need
for a broad-based group repre-
senting a wide spectrum of view-
points.
Logan Wilson, president of the Wilson cited the study of J. G.
