SACUA ROTC ATION: A CONTEMPTIBLE STAY See editorial page L Sw i gau 4Iati SPRINKLY Lligh-70 Low-r 0 Cloudy, cooler, occasional showers Vol. LXXIX, No. 2-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, May 8, 1969 Ten Cents Eight Pages PROVIDE GRANTS: MLK fI special und to aid Dartmouth, programs Money from the Martin Luther King Memorial Fund will be used as scholarships for black students in five spe- cial programs at the Univer- sity beginning this summer and next fall. The programs were selected from proposals submitted to a student-faculty Human Relations Advisory Council by Vice President for Acadfmic Affairs Allan Smith. The recommendations then re-' ceived majority endorsement from the committee appointed by Uni- versity President Robben Fleming to review proposed King fund ex- penditures. Gifts and pledges to the fund now total about $170,000. In addi- tion to financing the special pro- grams, the fund will help support the" Afro-American studies pro- gram beginning next fall in the' literary college. Ten visiting lec- turers and nine teaching fellows' involved in the undergraduate Afro-American program will be' paid through the fund. The scholarships ,.are part of programs in psychology, social work, law, music and architecture. The School of Social Work, which projects an enrollment of' 75 blacks among its 570 students next fall, will provide scholarship aid and tuition to five Michigan black students with a grant of? $11,700 from the King fund. This is in addition to University funds already used for similar scholar- ships. f A grant of $35,000 will provide first-year fellowships for at least 10 graduate students in psychol- ogy and in a combined program in a education and psychology. - Twelve black students will be CC-NY by vic hit ilence S chechner: 'Obscenity is obscene' Associated Press Police seize I)artmouth, protester "d Dionysus in 69 decision set By TOBE LEV "We are not trying to win the 'Dionysus in 69' case on technicality," says defense attorney Peter Iarrow.

The students rallied at the state house plaza and heard some state leaders, including secretary of state William Salin. 1 Salin called for establishment of a student committee which could present to the state its views on problems of state universities. However, the students severely heckled Salin, saying they were "sick. of dialogue and wanted ac- tion." Later Salin was booed when he told the students, "You should be here to seek lawful solutions, and' things are being done right now." Salin cited summer jobs and new, scholarships as' examples, but the students countered that this was not enough. Students also argued that the increases will force students out of school.

Meanwhile, at Southern University in New Orleans, police and National Guardsmen made a futile search for a suspended professor who refused to leave his office. He had been sus- pended for his alleged role in disorders at SUNO. Police arrested 55 of the students who were holding the administration building at Dartmouth. The students, led by members of Students for a Demo- cratic Society, held the building 12 hours to mark a protest against Reserve Officer Train- ing Corps.

Gerstacker, chairman of the Board of Directors of Dow Chemical Co., "We are still in the napalm business." Gerstacker's statement sguel- ched protesters' hopes that Dow was going to stop manufactur- ing napalm by overbidding its contract with the Defense De- partment. Dow's contract ex- pires June 15, 1969. Demonstrators began to as- semble as early as 9 a.m. and later held a press conference outside the Midland Central In- termediate High School, where the Dow meeting was held. By the start of the meeting at 2 p.m. some 250 protesters were listening to speeches and hand- ing out leaflets to arriving Wolfson would soon surface. Fortas has admitted he re- ceived $20,000 fee from the Wolf- son family foundation in 1966, but added that he returned the money when he found he could not com- plete the writing assignment for which the money was paid. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass' has suggested that Fortas be given the chance to come to the floor of Congress and explain his situa- tion. But a Supreme Court spokes- man said the associate justice would have no comment on his suggested appearance unless he: was formally requested to appear. Griffin said he thought it was highly unlikely that Congress would extend such an invitation. Meanwhile, Fortas took action yesterday to ameliorate another controversy over his financial dealings, cancelling a fee he was to have received for speech at Northeastern University- Notice of the fee cancellation came from the Harry Walker Agency in New York, which book- ed the Northeastern engagement. The cancellation was confirmed by Tom Conrad, student chairman' of the committee sponsoring For-' to last weekend's American Asso- ciation of University Professors statement deploring A t t o r n e y General Mitchell's p r e v i ous speeches on campus disruptions, said "some of the leaders just aren't up to date." He also re- ferred to the "greatly reduced" quality of education in South America, due to student decision- making there. President Nixon had made a similar reference in a speech last week. The remainder of. the cgngres- sional testimony was in support of a bill by Dan Kuykendall (R- Tenn.). As the sponsor himself put it, the bill "is designed to do one thing; To give the college ad- ministrators a little more back-. bone in dealing with the rioting on their campuses.
