The students were protesting Pesident Rolf Weil's refusal to appoint Prof. Staughton Lynd to a full-time position. Thursday evening the 16 stu- dents broke into the offices and barricaded the doors with office furniture. A spokesman for Roose- velt explained the campus offices are locked at 5 p.m. everyday for safety reasons. The campus protest began Mon- day with student and faculty picketing in response to Weil's failure to retain Lynd -on the UAWyMa ftrm rival for AFL ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (/)-If his United Auto Workers union walks out of the AFL-CIO, Walter P. Reuther indicated yesterday, the UAW will attempt organiza- tion of a competing federation. The indication came at a news conference, following a convention at which some 3,000 ' delegates representing 1.6- million UAW members voted overwhelmingly to disaffiliate unless the AFL-CIO meets Reuther's demands for its "reform and revitalization." Reuther said the UAW automa- tically would disaffiliate by Dec. 15 unless the AFL-CIO calls a convention by that date without any strings attached for a show- down between himself and AFL- CIO president George Meany. "Historically," Reuter told news- men, "I l1elieve there is a\parallel between what happened in 1936, with the birth of the CIO, and what we are trying to do in 1968." t Asked if this did not indicate organization of a :rival union structure, Reuther replied "That is obvious. " John L. Lewis, then leader of the United Mine Workers, organ- ized the Cngress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1936 as a competitor of the American Federation of -Labor (AFL). The CIO organized industrywide in such businesses as steel, autos and rubber. The AFL stuck to an organiza- tion by crafts, such as carpenters, printers, and machiists. With Reuther as CIO president and Meany as AFL president, the rival organizations were consoli- dated in 1955. Within recent years Reuther and Meany often have differed on .policy, with Meany winning all major tests between them before AFL-CIO Executive Council. Reuther has charged Meany! with acting like a dictator and permitting the labor movement to "vegetate" under his leadership. Reorganization of'the AFL-CIO hierarchy, an organizing crusade, and deeper involvement in social reforms such as civil rights have been made the price of his union's continuing membership by Reu- ther. Roosevelt staff in a fulltime capa-{ city. The activist professor has since stated he. would not accept , a teaching position with Roosevelt unless amnesty was granted to all of the arrested students. Around 9:30 Thursday night, Dean of Students Lawrence Sil- verman came down to the campus and met with the students. -He told them, "Those of you who wish to give me your L.D. cards may do so and may leave peaceably. We will not arrest you." Silverman said, however, he was not talking about amnesty. He told the students the university would decide on academic punish- ment at a Thursday meeting. Three of the students surrender- ed their cards and were per- mitted to leave. The police were called and-the remaining 13 were arrested. Silverman announced yesterday at a 2:15 p.m. conference 'all 16 students were expelled, effective immediately. In the same statement he said 23 students arrested in Wesnesday night's protest were suspended ef- fective June 8, the end of the semester. Eleven more students were ar- rested later yesterday when they refused to leave Weil's office at the 5 p.m. closing time. Paris delegates call first talks Vance, Lau agree to begin initial negotiations Monday PARIS (N--Negotiators for the United States and North Vietnam, meeting in what both sides called a good atmosphere, agreed yesterday to open preliminary peace talks Monday morning. The accord broke through a potential barrier of technical problems and raised hopes of U.S. officials that serious nego- tiations on ending the war in Southeast Asia may become possible. Another session on arrangements will be held today by Ambassador Cyrus R. Vance, deputy chief of the U.S. delega- tion, and Col. Ha Van Lau, No. 2 man of the North Vietnam- ese group. Both Vance and Lau made clear after yesterday's session that the agreement on Monday's meeting is firm.

"This is a really nice place to be in the summer," he said. "It's nice at night; one of the nicest places in the country at night. Lots of places to walk."

"But unless you have a car there isn't much to do. I'd rather be in California anyway." Across the square from Greta were two boys and a girl, sitting on the benches. Larry Kasden spoke first. "It's no good," he said. "I'm just here for the week but it's no House approves moeto punis pesen a prtet'byhodngstdet i Lou Solomon mildly disagreed. "I like the trees and the squir- rels. I'm pretty disappointed in the' squirrel turn-out today." "North Campus is great this time of year," he continued. "They oughta put a dome over it in the winter so- it would be warm. Lots of squirrels out there, too." Barbie backed away and said "Oh come on. I don't want to be quoted."t A svelte blonde was walking on the sidewalk looking like she had, just practiced her smile. Her name was Judith Bailey. "It's easier, more relaxed in the summer," she said. "I haven't opened a book yet and I'm taking eight hours." "The weather's nicer and it's easier to forget you're in school. I think even the professors for- get they're in school and they're a lot less formal," she continued. "I think it could end up being a more meaningful experience than it is- in the winter." Bob Jackson and Cathe Mackin walked arm in arm down the side- walk. "The people are definitely friendlier," said Cathe. "It's nice because the houses are closed and there is, more mixing between Greeks and non-Greeks than in the winter." Bob said that the instructors didn't stress attendance and that they seemed to be loosened up. "I think they talk more," he said. "They've got the bug too." Mark Barron sauntered along in froht of the General Library. "I'm not going to school," he said. "I'm just sticking around because there's nothing to do in my home town." At the north end of the Diag some high school students were sitting in a circle, playing with a pop bottle and talking. "I kind of dig it in the sum- mer," said Gary.

"A lot of our things are outdoor things and they're a lot 'more fun now." Gary had more to say. "People get to know each other easier," he said. "Yeah," said Sue, "but all the coffeehouses are closed and there isn't much to do." Their friend T.R. then ap- peared. "Hey T.R. We're beitig inter- viewed!" said Sue.

By MICHAEL DOVER The House of Representatives has acted to insure that students who break the law in the course of protests-the law of a state, a city, or even a university-do not go unpunished. The House Wednesday and Thursday passed by overwhelm g votes a series of amendments to federal education bills providing that students receiving grants and loans under various sections of the National Defense. Education Act (NDEA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Appro- priation Act be threatened with- loss of financial support for dis- ruptive .campus activities. In an apparent response to stu- dent take-overs at universities throughout the country, Rep. Lou- is G. Wyman (R-N.H.)' intro- duced an amendment to the NSF act which urges universities to recommend to the appropriate federal agency that students who "willfully refuse to obey the law- ful regulations of university au- thorities and engage in'a disrup- tion of the university" be re- moved from federal support lists. The amendment, similar to the one attached to the NDEA bill under Wyman's sponsorship the nextday, was clear in its delinea- tion of the final authority for such action to each university.. "The amendment is a tool for university authorities to use if they want to," Wyman told The Daily. The amendments authorize federal agencies to terminate sup- port upon certification by the re- specttve universities that the stu- dent in question was indeed in- volved in a disruption of normal university processes. "There are, however, no re- quirements that colleges provide such certification after a student is involved in protests," Wyman continued. The amendments have been un- der attack from minority circles in the House, after being passed easily by a voice vote Wednesday and then by one roll-call tally 'of 306'54 Thursday. Most observers, however, doubt that the amendments will survive the Senate or any joint hearing. Resiste rs plan turn-in at MSU EAST LANSING (P-Organiz- ers of a Michigan State University chapter of "Resistance," a league for those who want to fight the draft, have set'May 28 as the day for supporters ,to turn in draft cards. Details of the turn-in, including time and place, will be decided at future meetings of the newly. formed Resistance group, said Brad Lang, an MSU sophomore an Mur Michigan State stau organizing the chapter. Lang characterized the organi- zation as a "place for people who are resisting to get together with others. "It's very lonely to take a stand like this and go to jail when the rest of the country thinks you're crazy4" he said. Lang said the turn-in will pro- vide an opportunity for "those who.desire to turn in their cards and sever their connections with the Selective Service System." One critic of Wyman's amend- ments, Rep. Neil Smith (D-Iowa), explained, "The university does not enact laws. I don't know what Wyman means about the law of a university. The language on his amendment is so loose it will be hard to enforce." The New York Times earlier re- ported that Dr. Donald F. Hornig, one of the President's science ad. visers, called the amendments "unenforceable, unworkable anc an administrative nightmare." The Times also quoted Rep. Og- den R. Reid (R-N.Y.) as saying, "Quite aside from Constitutional questions and the questions of academic freedom that the amend- ments raise, there is the questior of Congress entering into internal affairs of universities." Reid aides told the Daily that he feels the amendment might be unconstitutional and borders or being a violation of academic freedom. Wyman, former chairman of the American Bar Association's Stand- ing Committee on Constitutiona Law and Jurisprudence, respond- ed, "Well forget it, it's not." Smith agreed. "There is not a Constitutional question involved here," he said, "Constitutionality is not the issue, just sloppy think- ing and working." However, Ernest Mazey, execu- tive director of the Michigan chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said, "I think we would be opposed to any punitive action taken against students for political activity. Any interference with education in such cases by the federal government would be considered unduly punitive." }- sI t1 ii t- 1I r' session on procedure would not be needed. One question settled, the North Vietnamese spokesman said, was that of tongues. He said English and Vietnamese would be the of- ficial languages of the talks and that statements by both sides would be translated into French, the conference's working language. The Hanoi spokesman declined to give further details, saying, "The Americans suggested that nothing further be said and we agreed with that." This agreement, he said, was part of the good atmosphere that prevailed. The White House in Washing- ton said President Johnson re- ceived a full report on the session from Vance. Tom Johnson, as- sistant White House press secre- tary, said the President will con- tinue to receive reports from his diplomatic team as the talks continue. Monday's meeting will bring to- gether Ambassador W. Averell Harriman, President Johnson's top negotiator, and President Ho Chi Minh's special envoy for the talks,. Xuan Thuy. Yesterday's meeting took place in the International Conference Center, suggested by France last week when the site within Paris threatened to become 'as much of a block to arrangements as selec- tion of a city for the talks had been during the last mont The session lasted an ur and 45 minutes. When it was over, Col. Lau -and his advisers left first. Vance and his associates then departed. Each informally told newsmen of the decision on Mondays' talk. Then the U.S. Em- bassy here issued a statement un- der Vance's name. It said: "Representatives of the two parties met from 3 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. today to discuss proce- durps to be followed by the two delegations in the future. We will continue these discussions tomor- row, beginning at 10:30 a.m. . "The parties have agreed that on next Monday the full delega- tioins representing the two parties will meet.", Apart from this statement, Vance said the time also would be 10:30 a.m. He did not spell out procedural problems still to be discussed, but officials said earlier' such matters as arrival schedules and seating of delegations would surely come up. A diplomat familiar with yes- terday's proceedings said he un- derstood the atmosphere was not too bad and that Vance and Lau shook hands when they met. U.S. officials who see prolonged and difficult negotiations ahead were not quite sure what to make of the day's, turn of events. Prague aware of troops PRAGUE (M)-Czechoslovakia's national radio reported yesterday that thousands of Soviet troops moving just beyond the Czecho- slovali-Polish border are engaged in planned Warsaw Pact maneu- vers that the liberal Prague go~v- ernment was informed of in ad- vance. The statement came as Ro- manian sources in Bucharest re- ported Soviet infantry and tank units had been concentrated along its borders with Russia at the Danube River and in former Romanian Bukovina. They were said to have taken up the posi- tions earlier in May and in April. Behind the Soviet buildup, the Romanian informants said, was an apparent desire to put pres- sure on the regime of Nicholas Ceausescu, who has defied Soviet leadership in Eastern Europe. Other sources had advanced this explanation for the troop move- ments near Czechoslovakia, vast- ly more liberal internally than Romania. Prague radio so9ght to elimi- nate any such interpretation in a statement by its diplomatic cor- respondent. He said: "The re- ports of some news agencies, papers and radio stations th~at there as a military move against Czechoslovakia was considered by Czechoslovak political circles to be a political provocation." In Washington, Pentagon sources said the Russian troop movements appeared to be re- lated to summer maneuvers. These sources said there was no feeling of deep concern in the Pentagon about the movements which were reported in the last few days. Western military attaches in Warsaw reported Thursday that Soviet forces had advanced as close as 18 miles to the frontier with Czechoslovakia. This coin- cided with some limitations on travel by diplomats. ' The units near the Czechoslo- vak border in the south were "positively identified" as being between the Polish city of Krakow and the frontier, about 45 miles away. Reports from diplomatic sources in Moscow and Warsaw that reached Prague generally dis- counted armed Soviet interven- tion in Czechoslovakia, despite the apprehension the Kremlin feels about the freedoms of speech, travel and the press that have taken root here. I Circuit Court delays appointments ruling a_. T t"cr Tim VIAttATiL4 NOVELIST DIES AT 62 By LESLIE WAYNE The Washtenaw Circuit Court ruled yesterday that the County Board of Supervisors must be re- apportioned on a one-man-one- vote basis but delayed action on a controversial section dealing with Mayor Wendell E. Hulcher's power to appoint board members. Acting on a suit introduced by Dr. Albert H. Wheeler of the medical school and state chair- man of the conference of NAACP, the court followed recent state and federal decisions which set precedent for the equal represen- tation ruling. ' However, the court delayed ac- tion on the,section of Wheeler's suit dealing with the appoint- ment power of the mayor until next Friday. At this time, Wheel- er and the city will submit briefs explaining their position. Presently, the mayor of Ann Ar- bor is granted the power of mak- ing board member appointments. for the two-year term. Wheelersoriginally challenged the Mayor's appointment power after he extended the terms of present board members rather than appointing new members. Wheeler claimed the Mayor was practicing "indirect racism" and was "denying a people their own effective voice," by refusing to make any new appointments. Specifically, Wheeler objected to the extended appointments of Cecil Creal, Herbert Ellis and Bent Nielsen. The NAACP and CORE had previously criticized these men as being "unrepresen- tative of the black community." However, last Tuesday, Wheel- er submitted a second suit ordering the Mayor to make appointments to the board. The two suits were -,., ,. ,} err7, i.}h A. , rn..n visors during the interim period' and if the mayor has this power,t whether present members can qualify.c Wheeler claims "the mayor must1 accept the responsibility to ap- point members to the board." He adds that the work of the ap-t pointment commission can last from over six months to a year and the "Mayor would be sitting comfortably without making anyl appointments."1 Wheeler further questions thec composition of the present ap- portionment commission, "With four Republicans and one Demo- crat on the commission there may be some attempts to gerrymandert districts," he said. Ann Arbor councilman Leroyt Cappaert added that he has "con-s siderable concern over the appor- tionment commission" but said that after the commission submits its plan, any citizen can file a, contesting suit. ta See VIETNAMESE, Page 2 Prof. S eager: 0 0 Vlcreative Prof. Allan Seager of the English department, noted no- velist and short- story writer, died of lung -cancer yesterday at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital at the age of 62.
