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.

According to his report Cowley said that Chauncey was not resisting and that there were other policeman around at the time. Cowley also claimed the officer who allegedly beat Chauncey was twice of his size. Cowley said that the police would probably have dropped the charges against Chauncey, except that they fear that Chauncey is considering suing them. Neither Cowley nor the police have released the name of the bar. It is HRC policy not to release the name of any place under investigation. TUITION HIKE? , 4 ,-e. 5. TM 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 arrangements will be made over the summer without student con- v 4 snt SGC President Marty McLaugh-: lin has said SGC will hold a ref-, erendum in the fall even if the tuition raise is approved by thej Regents for the funding sometimeI during this summer. However, at yesterday's advisory committee meeting chairman Don CanamUniversity ahetcdirec- tor, said, "I do not think we have any business recommending the procedure the Regents should fol- low in funding this project.

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. f ensive to report progress; ebbs- -Associated Press 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 See SDS, Page 2 -Associated Press President Nixon APPROVES BUDGET: Counci",l .accept s.

The approved budget also adds $25,000 to the city clerk's budget for the hiring of a voter registrar and a deputy clerk.

When contacted, Murphy would not comment on the report. Mich- igan's Athletic Director Don Can- ham said yesterday that, "Murphy has not said a_ word about his leaving to me, but I've known that he could make much more money in the pros." Canham noted that Murphy has had several job of- fers in the past. This season, under Murphy's di- rection, thetennis team has com- piled a 14-2 overall record, losing only to highly touted Arizona, and a perfect 9-0 showing in the Big Ten. Murphy, one of Michigan's most victorious coaches, joined the Wolverine ranks in 1949 and since then has become the Big Ten's winningest tennis coach, racking up an impressive 197-45 record.
