Claim
By JUDY SARASOHN
The Ann Arbor Human Relations
Commission charged yesterday that a
staff member, Ray Chauncey, was
beaten by a city policeman Friday night
after Chauncey was arrested for alleged
disorderly conduct while making an
HRC investigation at a local bar.
HRC director David Cowley explained
that it will be up to Chauncey and his
attorney whether or not to bring charges
against the policeman. However, it ap-
pears at this time that a suit will be
brought.
Chauncey was not available for com-
ment yesterday.
Deputy police chief Harold Olson yes-
terday said that no complaint has so
far been received from Chauncey and
that "he doesn't want to-talk to us."
But City Attorney Peter Forsythe said

Cowley. "But regardless of who a man

According to his report Cowley said
that Chauncey was not resisting and
that there were other policeman around

Cowley said that the police would
probably have dropped the charges
against Chauncey, except that they fear
that Chauncey is considering suing

funding

* ucertain
By SHARON WEINER and JUDY KAHN
The Advisory Committee on Recreation, Intramurals and
Club Sports is planning to send an interim report to the
Regents sometime this summer--probably without advising
the Regents to hold a student referendum on the funding of
the proposed facilities.
The funding is likely to involve an increase in student
tuition, which has caused major student organizations to
demand that student opinion be determined before any
assessment is made.
Opponents of a tuition assessment without a referendum
include Student Government Council, Inter-House Assembly,
" Interfraternity Council and
the Tenants' Union.
Many of the groups fear funding

Nixon
peace
VC of-
By The Associated Press
President Nixon plans a
report to the nation tomorrow
night "on the prospects of
peace in Vietnam."
Presidential -p r e s s secretary
Ronald L. Ziegler said yesterday,
"The address will be a major ad-
dress which can be characterized
as a report to the American peo-
ple on the President's views as to
prospects of peace in Vietnam."
However, Nixon is not likely to
announce any major breakthrough
or troop withdrawal.
He is expected to ask for con-
tinued public patience while he
attempts to put an end to the war.
It will be the President's first
major speech on Vietnam since he
took office. No time has yet been
announced for the half-hour re-
port which will be available for
live television and radio broadcast.
In Vietnam enemy gunners and
terrorists struck in and around
Saigon overnight, but the allies
reported last night that attacks
nationwide dropped sharply from
the surge of the night before.
A U.S. spokesman said the total
for today undoubtedly would rise
as additional reports come in, but
not to scale of the day before.
The military commands put no
label on yesterday's sudden out-
burst. Speculation ranged from a
prelude to another offensive to
"just a busy night" A government
spokesman earlier called it an
attempt to influence the Paris
peace talks and U.S. public opin-
ion.
Along with the White House an-
nouncement of the speech came
word that President Nixon con-
ferred at length yesterday with the
U.S. military commander in Viet-
nam, Gen. Creighton Abrams, who
flew to Washington for a fast-
paced two-day round of consulta-
tions.
Nixon spent two hours yesterday
morning in talks with Abrams,
Secretary of Defense Melvin R..
Laird, Gen. Earle G. Wheeler,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and Dr. Henry A. Kissinger,
Nixon's special adviser on national
security affairs.
The President's talk w i t h
Abrams was described as a general
review and not a special discussion
of possible troop withdrawals.
Ziegler emphasized that any de-
cision on troop withdrawal will be
made on the basis of these three
criteria, previously set forth by
Nixon:
-"The ability of the South
Vietnamese to defend themselves
in the areas we are now defending
them."
-"The progress of the Paris
talks."
-"The level of enemy activity."
The flurry of presidential ac-
tion concerning Vietnam' comes at
a time when the Viet Cong have
set forth a 10-point program for
achievinga peace settlement.
Seciretary of State William P.
Rogers, on his way to Saigon to
discuss the Viet Cong's new 10-
point peace plan, warned yester-
day that the enemy's latest ter-
rorist attacks against civilians in
Saigon are endangering peace
hopes.

"The indiscriminate and sense-
less killing and wounding of civil-
ians in their homes and in the
streets can only raise questions,
about the intentions of the other
side with respect to peace," Rogers
said during a refueling stop in Los
Angeles.

K1onsky salutes crowd after arrest in Chicago
SDS center raided'

From Wire Service Reports
Five members of Students for a
Democratic Society were arrested
yesterday at the SDS national
headquarters in Chicago on
charges of battery and interfering
with policemen and firemen.
The five members, including'
SDS's traveling secretary Michael
Klonsky, 26, were set free on bonds
of up to $5,000.
The arrests were made, police
said, when some police and fire-
men were refused entry and a
scuffle ensued.

Louis Chiero, chief of the 15th
fire battalion, said a report had
been received that there was a
fire at the SDS headquarters, but
that it proved to be false.
Police Sgt. Dominic Spedale
said police received a report that
a man had been shot in the hall-
way at the headquarters, but this
also proved to be false.
Authorities said the SDS lead-
ers allowed Chiero into the head-
quarters but began scuffling when
other fireman and police tried to
enter.

Millihen: New Left
threatens campusI
MT. PLEASANT (A--Leftist students rallying under the
banner of social justice are a greater threat to academic
freedom than the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy's anticommunist
crusades of the 1950's, Gov. William Milliken said yesterday.
"America's universities today are facing the greatest
danger they have faced in our country's history-a far more
threatening danger, I believe, than they faced during the
McCarthy era," the governor said.
He made the statement in remarks prepared for delivery
at the inauguration of Dr. William B. Boyd as president of
-Central Michigan University.
"The radical right forces of the
early fifties tried desperately, and
'9 . often successfully, to limit the
free expression of ideas in the
country's classrooms. They did it
in the name of anticommunism
and, now, a small minority of the
' radical left forces are endangering
academic freedom in the name of
social justice," Milliken said.

At troubled City College of New
York, a new acting president took
over. Joseph J. Copeland, yester-
day said "police will stay on the
campus as long as they are
needed."
All outsiders will be barred from
the campus, Copeland added, and
there will be a ban on possession
of any implements which can be
used as weapons.
Meanwhile, the new president
said he hoped to resume negotia-
tions with Negro and Puerto Rican
students, while continuing regu-
lar classes.
Copeland succeeded President
Buell G. Gallagher, who resigned
in the aftermath of three weeks
of turmoil, which included arson.
During the day, a small fire bomb
was extinguished in an empty
CCNY classroom before causing
any damage.
CCNY demonstrators have de-
manded greater inclusion of Ne-
gro and Puerto Rican students in
the 20,000-member student body,
which now includes 4,500 mem-
bers of minority races.
Climaxing another night of un-
rest at Southern University in
Baton Rouge, La., students barri-
caded streets on the predominant-
ly Negro campus.
Police launched tear gas gre-
nades at the students to force
them to leave the streets.
Elsewhere, students for the Prot-
estant ministry were enlisted in

APPROVES BUDGET:
Counci",l .accept s.
Model ICities'
By NADINE COHODAS
City Council last night approved the Model Cities work
program and personnel requirements and accepted the budget
for 1969-70 submitted by City Administrator Guy Larcom Jr.
The major re-allocation in Larcom's budget involves
transferring an additional $100,000 to the Transportation
Authority, thus bringing the total allotment to more than
$200,000 for expanded bus service.
The approved budget also adds $25,000 to the city clerk's
budget for the hiring of a voter registrar and a deputy clerk.

discrimination against the Uni-
versity Medical Center by Mrs.
LaVerne Hill.
The public hearing will be
held in the Supervisor's Room
of the Washtenaw County Build-
ing at 10 a.m.
Mrs. Hall claims that when
she requested the withdrawal of
her resignation as assistant op-

commission can obtain a court
order for it to do so.
If there is insufficient evi-
dence to prove discrimination,
the referees will dismiss the case.
William Bledsoe, a member
of the state attorney general's
office, will be counsel for the
commission and will argue Mrs.
Hill's case. William Saxton, a
Detroit attorney, will represent
the University in the proceed-
ings.
The decision on the case will

son had already been hired and
