Running second was Alain Po- her, provisional president since Charles de Gaulle resigned April 28. Although early polls had indi- cated he might pull as much as 38 per cent of the vote and defeat Pompidou, Poher won only 2ยง.4 r<' per cent. Seven candidates sought the of- fice. Since no candidate won a majority, a runoff between Pom- pidou and Poher will be held in two weeks to fill the seven-year term. The key factor in the run-off Georges Por idou will be the backing of the Commu- nist Party. Communist, candidate Jacques Duclos won 21.5 per cent of yesterday's vote-about average .. for the Communist 'Party in France--and will control the de- cisive votes. The question now is which way ' the Communists will swing. Du- cls said during the campaign that Schoosing between Pompidou and Poher would be like choosing be- ~ 4 tween cholera and the plague. some communist sources hinted that the party leaders would ask thei supporters to stay away from the polls on June 15, which should throw the victory to Pompidou. Poher needs all the Communist and Socialist votes to win. He has said he would not ask for the Communist vote, but that he wants 4A to be a president for all French- men and cannot control where the votes come from. From his position of strength, Alain Poher Pompido" suggested that Poher withdraw from the race din the - name of national " reconciliation. Poher refused heatedly: "No I am Ni x onA 1 ask s from Brittany. I don't give up." 1X 011RS S Poher said his duties as interim president kept him from waging an active campaign.

Daily-Jay Cassidy THIS WAS THE SCENE at North Hall this morning in the aftermath of last night's b6mbing of the University's ROTC building. In front of the building is the Army staff car under which the explosion was detonated. -I STATE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR 'U': Armycar exploded By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN An explosion at 11 p.m. last night rocked North Hall -the administrative center and classoom building for the University's ROTC program. An explosive placed under a car parked next to the building detonated, igniting the building and shattering one wall and several dozen windows. Firemen arrived about 15 minutes later and quickly extinguished the blaze. There was no one inside the building at the time and no injuries resulted. Deputy Police Chief Harold Olson said this morning he did not know what type of explosive had been used, and that there were no suspects, at this time. He added that at this point all the police are able to do is study the area of the bombing to discover what was used and where it could have been obtained. Olson also admitted that there seemed to be some simi- larity between this bombing and the bombings last fall of the Ann' Arbor Central Intelligence Agency office and the Uni- versity's Institute for Science and Technology building on North Campus. University officials briefly toured the wreckage early this morning but were unable to give an estimate of the cost of .the damage. However, they said there did not appear to be any structural damage resulting from the explosion. The car under which the explosive detonated was a mill- tary staff car assigned to Col. H. K. Reynolds, the commander of fhe Army ROTC unit at the University. The 1967 Ford was destroyed by the explosion. University officials said the car was normally parked t the site where it was found last night. Police said there was no evidence that the building tiad been entered. Ann Arbor police have summoned investigators from the bomb squad of the Federal Bureau of investigation. The FBI investigators were expected to arrive early this morning. Olson said the FBI was notified of the bombing because federal property-the Army staff car-was involved. The two rooms which appeared most damaged by the blast were Navy ROTC offices and the central administrative office. Windows were shattered on all sides of the building, but predominantly in the front portion of the south wing where the explosive was located. The impact of the explosion was felt at least one and one-half miles from North Hall. Olson said he also was unclear as to the extent of the damages but guessed that they would amount to $15,000 to $20,000. He described the damage as "extensive." Firemen were forced to breaik through an inside wall to reach the blaze set off by the explosion. North Hall is 69 years old. It functioned as a homeopathic hospital before it came into use as the center for Army, Air Force and Navy ROTC operations. Last night's bombing was the third such incident in the last nine months. On Sept. 29, 19'68, the Ann Arbor office of the Central Intelligence Agency was gutted by dynamite. Dynamite was also found to be the explosive used in the Oct. 14, 1968 bombing of the University's Institute for Science and Technology building on North Campus. There have been no arrests in conjunction with last fall's bombings. No ROTC classes are Mield during the spring and summer terms. However, staff members do use the building during regular office hours. RudnBpooa 'ecuaig By SHARON WEINER Although the proposed capital outlay bill is $1.8 million less than the governor's recommendation for the University, University of- ficials have registered approval of the, recommendation that $4.9 million be allocated to University capital projects in the coming year. "We are encouraged that the University's pressing needs for classrooms, offices, and laborator- ies in major academic areas have been recognized by the Senate Appropriations Committee," says were authorized by the legislature. Arthur M. Ross, vice president 'for An authorization implies intent planning and state relations. "It's been years since a state- supported building for academic needs outside of the health area was authorized," he adds. Except forconstruction in the health science area, there has been no state appropriations for aca- demic facilities since the early 1960's. In those years, funds for the School of Music Bldg., the Physics and Astronomy Bldg., and the Fluids Engineering Laboratory to allocate funds in the future, but does not bind the legislature to do so. The authorization, however, is a sign that the lawmakers rec- ognize the need to construct the building. The proposed bill of the Senate Appropriations Committee allo- cates construction money for six University projects. The bill, reported to the Senate floor Monday, contains $2 million Science foundation may continue limitation on'U' research grants.' for the Modern Language Bldg. to be constructed north of Hill Aud. The six-story building will cost an estimated $6.3 million when completed. The state has prom- ised to pay up to $5.3 million. $100 thousand is also earmarked for completion of plans for re- modeling the general library. This project includes maj or renovations of utility and vertical transporta- ,tion systems. The proposal also authorizes $220 thousand for completion of plans for a new Architecture and Design building to be built on North Campus. If plans can be completed during the 1969-70 fis- cal year, Ross says, the University will seek a supplemental appro- priation to start construction. Both the departments of Art and Architecture have been warn- ed by their respective accrediting groups that improvements must be made if the departments are to remain in good standing. The proposal also authorizes $2 million for continuation of work on the $17 million School of Dent- istry Bldg. The state has agreed to finance $11 million of that building. Construction started on the Dental Bldg. in March, 1966. A separate bill authorizes the Budget Bureau in the governor's office to assign funds for prelimi- nary planning of four new Uni- versity buildings without specify- ing costs. These would include a chemistry building, an engineering building, and two buildings at Flint College. By TOBE LEV The National Science Founda- tion will probably impose a sec- ond consecutive expenditure limi- tation on its grants to the University for the coming fiscal year. An expenditure limitation is a ceiling on the amount of founda- tion money researchers may spend in the next fiscal year. "A ceiling is not the same thing ternative' Pending a stem-to-stern aid study by a task force which could recommend a major overhaul of the program a year hence, Nixon stressed in his interim blueprint for the fiscal year starting next July 1: Technical assistance for back- ward areas; creation of a public] corporation to promote U.S. pri-1 vate investing there; food produc- tion and family planning help; and joint giving by economically advanced nations. Nixon said he considered the $900 million increase to be "ne- cessary to meet essential require- ments now, and to maintain a base for future action." Nixon's aim is to help refill the foreign aid pipeline which U.S. aid proponents contend was dan- I gerously depleted by Congress' ac- -------------------.-- a new 'Al as a cut," says A. Geoffrey Nor- man, vice-president for research, "but really a stretchout in the sense that what a researcher isn't allowed to spend in NSF funds this year he puts aside for next year."~ Last year's expenditure limita- tion was $6.4 million, which forced researchers to withhold about $1.5 million for the future. "The notice from the NSF is not very helpful. We have no idea what the ceiling will be and in a sense it tells us that your guess is as good as ours," Norman says. He adds that the ceiling may not be set until September, well into the fiscal year. The ceiling will depend on Congress, Norman says. It may not appropriate enough money to the NSF or it may give President Richard Nixon an expenditure ceiling for his entire budget. The latter course would force the bureau of the budget to im- pose limitations on several pro- grams, most likely including the NSF. "NSF received its first ceiling last year," Norman explains. "At! that time Congress applied a ceil- ing to President Johnson's budget to insure that incoming funds from the 10% surtax would not be squandered- Certain programs have been ex-; in science education run for high school or college teachers, for the purpose of upgrading their qual- ifications in science. They are generally one month or six weeks in duration. NSF has announced it will not establish expenditure ceilings for those institutions whose expendi- tures for fiscal year 1'970 are esti- mated at less than $50,000. Those institutions whose ex- penditures are less than $500,000 are also exempt for certain pro- jects. Approximately 150 institutions receive NSF funds in excess of this amount. A HISTORY COURSE? By SCOTT MIXER After nearly a year of red tape and ever-changing plans, there is an Alternative. The student-faculty run coffee house has found a temporary home in the courtyard of the Student Activities Bldg. and the opening is scheduled for Friday, June 6. The Carnal Kitchen, now at Canterbury House, will be at the coffee house for an all-night jam session to celebrate the grand opening.' Temporary location in the SAB came as a result to problems which developed after the Alternative was scheduled to move into a room at the Union. Prof. Marc Ross of the physics department, one of the Alter- native's originators, says attempts to locate in the Union were ham- pered by the unclear status of the Union, which is currently under evaluation by members of a committee formed to study the Osterheld report. The report recommends that student activities' offices be moved to the Union.
