NEWS WIRE 'Talk-In' Student Staged Power by Voice, Discussed Late World News I By KATHIE GLEBE 4 A four-point student ultimatum was drawn up Wednesday for presentation to the Berkeley ad-: ministration as the classroom boy- cott extended into a second day yesterday. Chancellor Roger Heyns mean-{ while denounced the "outsiders" who participated in the riots. He said in a news conference that he! disapproved of the classroom strike, backed up actions of police at the outset of the emergency and warned teaching staff members that he expected them to stay on the job. Heyns also allegedly indicated that he will not meet with the strike negotiating committee be- cause a non-student, Mario Savio, a leader of the 1964 Free Speech Movement, is a member. 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 political problems; t -that no disciplinary action be taken against participants in+ Wednesday's demonstrations, and 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- * testing the arrests. According to a 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. -Daly-Chuck Soheran 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.

M Suggest Plans ,her Commission Dean Haber Talks With 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.
