Daily News Analysis
The controversy that developed
over attempts to implement rec-
ommendations of the Hatcher
Commission report may take sev-
eral months to resolve.
The report, which defines the
student role in University deci-
sion-making, is an exceedingly
complex and ,admittedly vague
document.
The present controversy, how-
ever, surrounds only a part of
the Commission's report-the sec-
tion dealing with establishment
of a University Couhcil (UC) as
the legislative body for conduct
rules.
Vice President for Student Af-
fairs Richard L. Cutler has also
been charged by the Regents with

WASHINGTON (P) - The De-
fense Department yesterday issued
a draft call for 15,000 army in-
ductees in July, the lowest month-
ly call since April 1967.
It also forecast lower than
normal draft calls for the July-
December period.
At the same time, the Penta-
gon reduced its June draft -call.
by 9,500 men--from X9,500 to 20,-
000. It did so because the Army
has overestimated the number of
men who would be discharged in
June.,
Draft calls reached their 1968
peak in April, when 48,000 men
were 'ordered to report for induc-
tion-under Selective Service.
Draft calls rose sharply at the
start of this year because so
many men called in the Vietnam
buildup two years ago were com-
pleting their compulsory service.

mission's recommendations in by-
law form.
Among these are recommenda-
tions relating to "conduct and
discipline," a University - wide
judicial system, and a Committee
on Communications.
Cutler and Director of Student-
Community Relations William
T Stuede have completed several
rough drafts of these bylaws, but
only the Committee on Com-
munication proposal is expected
to be ready for Regental action
tomorrow.
The bylaw on the judiciary sys-
tem is expected to cause the
greatest disagreement. Anticipat-
ing this problem, Cutler and
I Stuede have prepared two parallel
but significantly different rough
drafts of the proposed bylaw.
In one proposal cases would be
heard and adjudicated by three
to seven man panels from a judi-
ciary composed of one member
from each school or college in the
University.
In the other, a "hearing offi-
cer" does the preliminary work in;
a case and recommends action to
the judiciary which would act as
a kind of appeal board.
At issue. in both proposals is
the composition of the judiciary
itself. Student leaders have ex-
pressed extreme displeasure with
a clause in the bylaw draft that
the 15-man judiciary have one
and only one member from each
school ors college.
They feel such a system would
be unfair to students of the Uni-
versity's several largest units who
represent the vast majority of
students.
Also at issue is the jurisdiction
of the judiciary and the adminis-
trative boards of' the various
schools and colleges. The bylaw
draft dealing with "conduct and
discipline" gives the governing
faculties of University units the
authority to regulate conduct re-
lated to "formal academic pro-
grams."
Some students want assurance
that non-academic conduct of
students is the responsibility of!
solely student judiciary. -

LANSING (P) - The open
housing bill was back in the Sen-
ate with 21 amendments yester-
day after a session of arm-twisz-
ing and bitter debate brought the
measure 76-31 approval in the
House.
Forty Republicans And 36 Dem-
ocrats joined forces behind the
controversial bill - a top priority
goal of Gov. Romney since the
1967 Detroit riot - and yester-
day gave it the 21 votes more
that it required.
But hidden behind the wnop-
ping majority was a frantic lob-
bying effort by Romney aides and
House party leaders to prevent
some members from rewriting the;
measure along the lines of the
weaker Federal Civil Rights Avt
of 1968.
The Senate now must decide
