Scott blocking plans for a pop- rock concert which was to include a performance by the MC-5, an Ann Arbor-based group. Scott had granted tentative ap- proval for the proposed June 8 concert, but withdrew this ap- provalsafter a meeting of the cam- pus Faculty Congress where some professors suggested that the per- formance of the MC-5 would pro- voke bad reaction from the com- munity. The students claimed Scott's action was influenced by this discussion.. Thomas Bagott, the campus co- ordinator of student activities, also resigned yesterday over what he described as a matter related to, but distinct from the director's action concerning the proposed concert. Astronauts 1 day filming -moon surface HOUSTON -P-After a hectic day that put Americans on the threshold of a lunar landing, the Apollo 10 astronauts circled the moon yesterday, charting the surface for future explorers. Air Force Col. Thomas P. Stafford and Navy Commanders John W. Young and Eugene A. Cernan concentrated on photographing potential landing sites. Young was busy yesterday taking strip photography of selected lunar sites. Scientists hope to be able to use the pictures to determine the gravitational characteristics of the moon. During the Apollo 8 manned flight to the moon and during pre- vious probes, scientists discovered that the gravity of the moon is not uniform. Ground controllers were unable to precisely determine the orbital altitude and position of spacecraft because increasing and decreasing gravity caused the flight path to rise and fall. Determination of the navigation characteristics of the moon is considered essential for the'moon landing set for July. The astronauts circled the moon taking pictures with a special camera, which scientists hope will solve the mystery of navigating1 around the moon. The work was the last major assignment the moon explorers had to complete before starting home early this morning. The Apollo 10 astronauts told for the first time of coughing, sneezing and itching from a spacecraft atmosphere polluted by glass wool insulation. Stafford, Young and Cernan left little doubt that Apollo 11 will blast off for the moon July 16, carrying astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin A: Aldrin toward a landing in the area called the Sea of, Tranquility. Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin A. Aldrin are to rocket moonward July 16, with Armstrong and Aldrin touching down in a LEM July 20 on the moon's Sea of Tranquility. A short-circuit in a cooling pump system has idled one of Apollo 10's electric generating units but poses no threat to the moon-orbit- ing astronauts, officials said yesterday. Stafford, Young and Cernan were reported able to continue normal operations on the moon-orbiting flight with the spaceship's two remaining electric units-called fuel cells. Stafford asked and got permission to move the 'planned televi- sion show-Apollo 10's last from around the moon-from 7:09 p.m., EDT., to 12:45 a.m., EDT, today. See ASTRONAUTS, Page 5 Bagott, a Dearborn campus stu- dent who took the job on a one- term basis, said the reasons for his resignation involved "employe-em- ployer relations." He declined to elaborate. In a statement announcing their' resignation, the students said the sequence of events leading up to Scott's action "indicate to us a vacillating administration, a re- actionary faction of the faculty,' and a Student Government Coun- cil that is largely irrelevant to the decision-makdng process of this campus. "It is, in our opinion, a sad commentary on the state of af- fairs of this academic institution that such drastic action (the res- ignation) must be taken by active, concerned and responsible stu- dents," the added. Scott yesterday confirmed that he had granted "preliminary" ap- proval of the concert. But he de- nied that his final decision had been influenced by debate at the Faculty Congress or by the pos- sibility of adverse community re- action to the MC-5. Rather, he said, permission was denied because of what he called the "inadequacy" of facilities which the student government planned to use for the concert. Plans called for a concert co- sponsoredby radio station WABX and Student Government Council' to be held in the meadow at the Fairlane Mansion, the home of Henry Ford, now owned by the University.

The violence climaxed a week of scattered disorders, which began as the result of ill-feeling over a student body election at-a black high school earlier in the week. City school officials obtained a court injunction forbid- ding certain A&T students from entering the high school grounds. The officials blamed the college students for for- menting discontent at the high school. One student was shot and killed Wednesday at the 4,000- student school.

ASKS EMERGENCY MEETING:. .o rhits Harvey Associated Press By JUDY SARASOHN Mayor Robert Harris late last night called for an immediate meeting with the Ann Arbor mem- bers of the County Board of Su- pervisors to discuss Sheriff Dou- glas Harvey's hiring of the police- man who was accused of beating a Human Relations Commission staff member arrested on assign- ment.

By ALEXA CANADY Statements signed by 46 Ann Arbor clergymen were among 4,000 statements presented to President Nixon yesterday calling for an end to U.S. support for the South Vietnamese government. A statement which was released in Ann Arbor by the Rev. Patrick Jackson of St. Thomas Catholic Church; Prof. David Wurfel, chairman of the Committee on Asian Studies at the University of Missouri; and Prof. Rhoads Mur- phey of the geography department called for an "end to U.S. support of a government in South Viet- nam that remains in power only through suppression of all forms of political and religious opposi- tion." Wurfel, who has been a visiting professor at the University, has made six trips to Vietnam. Dur- ing these trips he became ac- quainted with Thich Taien Minh, a Buddhist leader who was ar- rested earlier this year. In Washington, the statement was presented to an aide of Pres- idential adviser Henry Kissinger. Parts of the statement, which STUDENTS FORCED TO SHARE Med School solicitsJ was distributed by Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Viet- nam, said, "Students, professors, labor union leaders, editors and others in South Vietnam who have come out for peace have been harshly suppressed by the gov- ernment and subjected to arrest, exile and torture. It is not justi- fiable for Americans to kill and be 'killed for the sake of con- tinuing such a regime. "The Saigon government has attempted to silence political op- ponents as well, through impris- onment, exile or tetrorism. Tru- ong Dinh Dzu, the runnerup in the 11967 elections has been in jail since early last year. In view of these gross violations of human rights and denial of fundamental freedoms, we believe that it is clear the regime of Ngu- yen Van Thieu and Nguyen Cao Ky knows itself not to be repre- sentative of the people of South Vietnam and their desire for peace." Wurfel said that while there is uncertainty about the number of political prisoners in Vietnam, the 20,000 admitted by a U.S. embassy official was "too conservative." The suppression of those seek- ing peace in Vietnam is an at-! tempt by "this regime to destroy any non-Communist alternative to itself." he said. "It is prolong-; *t Douglas.. resigns Parvin- WASHINGTON \(-Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas resigned yesterday as the paid president of the Al- bert Parvin Foundation. The foundation came under fresh fire from Congress because of its links with Las Vegas gambling casinos. Despite Douglas' resignation Congressmen pushed ahead with demands for a probe of Douglas's outside income. Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa) said the justice should have resigned from the Supreme Court instead. Gross called Douglas incom- petent to"serve on the Supreme Court because of the controversy and said, "His resignation from the court forthwith is the an- nouncement he should h a v e made." Sen. Paul Fannin (R-Ariz), hailed the resignation but said, "This does not lift the cloud sur- rounding the justice's relations with the foundation or his other business dealings. No doubt the investigations . , . will go for- ward." Douglas refused to comment, but a court official confirmed he had cut his ties with the founda- tion which has paid him $85,000 over the past seven years. The foundation-whose stated purpose is advancing democracy over communism-disclosed earlier this week that it had sold its stock in a firm owning three Las Vegas casinos for $2 million. Douglas' decision was disclosed a week after Justice Abe Fortas resigned from the Supreme Court. Fortas was under attack because of a $20,000. check he received from the family foundation of jailed financier Louis E. Wolfson. Parvin was named by the gov- ernment in 1967 as an alleged co- conspirator in stock c h a r g e s against Wolfson. The foundation said in Los An- geles that Douglas resigned as its See GUARDu, Page 2 By LORNA CHEROT The University wants your body. The a n a t o m y department needs 120 cadavers for its fresh- man class this fall, says- ana- tomy professor Dr. T. W. Oer- lick. The demand is so great and the supply so small that four students must share a cadaver. One rumor circulating around campus claimed the department "This law has historical roots," Oerlick says. "Bodies were not considered a marketable com- modity because it could lead to grave robbing." Oerlick says 50 per cent of the anatomy department's ca- davers are donations "mostly from men, but there is a notice- able increase in the female con- tributions." The other 50 per cent are peo- sumes the duty of undertaker, Oerlick adds. Catholics used to hesitate to donate their bodies because the Church disapproves of crema- tion as a form of burial, Oer- lick says. But a statement from the archbishop of Detroit said donating bodies to medical schools was "appropriate," Oer- lick explains. When the department receives fresh bodies which have not iodies of the thorax "ruins the internal structure of the body," Oerlick says. All the received bodies even- tually are stored in sealed tanks to prevent dehydration until they are used.
