Childs, Chief Washington cor- respondent for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, on June 18. Its analysis of top-level decision- making and of the administra- tion's conduct of the war in Viet Nam is, we feel, superb. When Under Secretary of State George Ball leaves the government in the early fall, the view from the top on Viet Nam will be unani- mous. The departure of the one dissenter is the climax of a quiet drama unique in the Kennedy-' Johnson era. It has been no secret in Wash- ington that for at least three years Ball has consistently opposed in the private councils of Govern- ment the escalation of the war. In public, he has been comnletely loyal to the Administration. While their views have often been dia- metrically opposed, Ball and Sec- retary of State Dean Rusk share a mutual respect that is the basis, for their friendship. The Under Secretary's leaving has no relation to his opposition to Viet Nam policy. He is going because having worked the 12- hour day and seven-day week :or five and a half years he is bone tired. His relationship with the President is friendly, with Mr. Johnson speaking up frequently in National Security Council meet- '~ings to say, "let's hear Geor ,e's point of view." The personal drama to one side, and it has been for Ball a lonely and an extraordinary role that only the historians can put in pro- per perspective, the unanimity of the view at the top is one of the facts of life at what seems a criti- cal juncture for the Administra- tion. For there is every evidence that opinion in the country is fragmenting as doubts spread in a dozen different directions. Seldom if ever has any foreign entanglement in the nation's life generated so much controversy. By comparison, the Korean War See A DISSENTER, Page 2 NEW YORK (A'-CBS reported yesterday that planned air strikes against Hanoi and Haiphong during the past five days were called off because of "flagrant security leaks in Washington." The Columbia Broadcasting System network report by Murray Fromson from Saigon said speculation is that the leaks came either from government sources-a trial balloon-or from "doves" in Congress who don't want the air war expanded. Fromson also reported that a "high-powered public relations effort" had been planned to tell the administration's side of the story after the raids were carried out. Officers around the world had been alerted, he said, to explain the reasons for the air strikes. This effort, Fromson said, "has now been destroyed" by the Washington leaks. The CBS report also said American pilots are "enraged" by stories in print which would have endangered their lives and success of the raids if they had been carried out. * * * * ALL STUDENTS WITH AUTOMOBILES at the University this summer must register them, Tom Brown of the Student Auto- mobile Permit Office said yesterday. Brown said many students are unaware of the regulation because in previous summers it has not been necessary. The rule, in force during the winter and fall semesters, requires students to go to 113 Student Affairs Building, where they will receive parking stickers for their cars. Students taking four hours of credit or more must pay $1 for their sticker. a reduction from the winter semester. Other students do not pay anything. Brown also said that with these stickers students can park for free in the lot by the hockey rink and in the triangle lot bounded by Thompson St., Madison St. and Packard Road. ROBERT GOYER, GRAD, has been named as student repre- sentative for the Northwood IV building committee. Goyer, of the Graduate Student Council building committee, was a member of the vice-presidential student housing advisory committee that drew up the project statement for the new Northwood married student housing project. Students have sat on building committees working on the construction of Oxford Suites and Mary Markley Hall, but never before have they assumed such a major role as the committee has in the preplanning of the type of housing they will live in at the University. Due to the committee's sugestions, the low-cost Northwood units, to be completed by summer, '67, will offer more quiet and privacy than former University-owned married housing has. Some of the 400 apartments in the project will also offer more bedrooms than previous apartments have, with some of the units being unfurnished. t THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION will hold its semi. monthly meeting today in Detroit at the Pick Fort Shelby Hotel. It will be the first State Board meeting held in Detroit. The agenda is expected to contain a decision on Michigan Tech's Sault Ste. Marie branch. An Advisory Committee recom- mended that the present' three year programs in Biological - Science, Medical Technology, and Business Administration be expanded to four year programs soon. The committee also rer,- ommended that the branch be made independent in the neat' future, with a separate name, governing board and budget. The Master Plan for education in the state of Michigan, the time of i' release, and possible changes in its coverage are also expected to be discussed. Buchanan Found in Contempt Judge Rules Editor Must Pay $300 Fine; Case To Be Appealed EUGENE, Ore. (P) - Annette Buchanan, a student editor, was held in contempt of court yester- day and ordered to pay a $300 fine for refusing to tell a grand jury the names of seven students who used marijuana. State Circuit Court Judge Ed- ward Leavy made the decision. Neither Miss Buchanan nor her attorney, Arthur Johnson, would comment immediately after the two-day trial. Johnson said ear- lier he would appeal a conviction to the Oregon Supreme Court, Miss Buchanan, managing edi- tor of the University of Oregon daily newspaper, The Emerald, wrote a story quoting seven stu- dents who described use and enjoyment of marijuana. Dist. Atty. William Frye called her before the grand jury and asked her to give the names of the students. She refused, saying she had told them she would not. She said that to disclose the names would violate the reporter's tradition against violating confi- dences. Oregon law does not give a newsman the right to refuse to divulge confidential information. Twelve other states do. Frye said in his closing argu- ment: "It is contemptuous to vio- late an order of the court and contemptuous to refuse to answer questions. That is the only thing this case is all about." He said the grand jury needed Miss Buchanan's information. Her attorney said it could be obtained from other sources. Frye followed Johnson, who said Miss Buchanan was not in con- tempt. "Annette Buchanan's word was her bond," Johnson said. "She felt bound by her con- science, her pledge, and what she felt to be the canons of jour- nalism." Johnson said the grand jury proceedings were improper. He said they were only a general in- quiry, rather than a specific crim- inal case. "She is in a dilemma where she had no alternative," Johnson said. "It would be disrespect to this court for her to break her word and disclose the names." THE FIRST SEASON OF THE YPSILANTI GREEK THEATRE was inaugurated last night with a brilliant performance of "Oresteia," one scene from which is shown above.

Xenakis calls his philosophical approach "stochastic music," which is a term he has invented for music that is based upon probability theory. In addition to his work as a composer, Xenakis is a mathe- matician and an architect. Despite this modern influence there was still the immutable ele- ment of traditional theatrical greatness in the nonmechanical performance of Dame Judith An- derson whose portrayal of dig- nity carries with it the pathos and tragedy of the ancient Greek dramatists. The plot also remains unham- pered: a story played on several levels, striking simultaneous notes of tragedy. First, it is a domestic tragedy; a wife alienated from her husband, an adultress. Because the action is set in a king's house, the domestic tragedy becomes a dynastic tragedy with the betrayal of a king and the alienation of his kingdom. It be- comes then, a tragedy of war, the ten year Trojan war in which both victor and vanquished were destroyed. This in turn leads to the politi- cal tragedy, communicated by the chorus, the wailing elders ofi Argos who tell how and why the war was fought. Running throughout the entire trilogy and binding it together is the theme of hate-in love, an opposing dialectic which forces the characters to fight against one another as well as against themselves. The tragedy deals with plight, decisions and fate of the individ- By SHIRLEY ROSICK In line with the recommenda- tions of last November's report by the President's Blue-Ribbon Com- mission on Off-Campus Housing, the Regents have approved Vice- President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler's recommenda- tion to appoint his former assist- ant, John C. Feldkamp, to the position of director of a new Uni- versity housing office. The Commission had suggested the new post be created to co- ordinate all aspects of student housing: residence halls, married student housing, affiliated hous- ing and off-campus housing. It's a reoort had called for introducing American actors whom he claims are much harder to direct than the Greeks. Greek actors apparently are less inhibited and will easily scream and rant resonantly as did the ancient Greeks. Americans are apparently more restrained; never- theless, they have become quite proficient, according to Solomos. The tragic trilogy ends with reconciliation and triumph of jus- tice. The fates take their course and all ends justly. Last evening at 'the Ypsilanti Greek Theatre, there was some- thing more than humidity in the air. The Greeks call it justice, the Muses have chanted "fate" while the more restrained Americans ap- plauded it last evening as success. Feldkamp said that he doesn't envision 'a' pilot project or resi- dential college" type atmosphere at every living unit, but that he wanted to encourage "diversity and experimentation." Though the Commission's re- port made no recommendations for "specific reorganizing or re- structuring" of any Office of Stu- dent Affairs subdivisions working on housing, the post of Director of Residence Halls has been elimi- nated. The position was formerly held by Eugene Haun, who is leav- ing in August to accept a teaching appointment at Eastern Michigan University. ,sonnel separated on two floors of the SAB. However, the Off-Campus Hous- ing Bureau of the Office of Stu- dent Community Relations will remain as a separate administra- tive untit, with offices located on the second floor of the SAB.j Feldkamp says that he and Wil- liam L. Stuede, head of the OSCR, will be working in "tan- dem."

He said he plans to try locating personnel in each of the residence halls who will be responsible for both the financial and counseling aspects of the halls' operations, instead of continuing theupresent separation of the two functions. Feldkamp's staff will consist of five assistant directors in addi- tion to a business staff. Leonard Schaadt, currently business man- ager of the residence halls, and Chester Malinowski will be major both presently assistant directors I to the director of residence halls; Robert Hughes, director of South Quadrangle; Helen Tanner, assist- ant to the director of financial aids, and Ed Salowitz, director of a residence hall at Eastern Mich- igan University. Other appointments in Feld- kamp's office will include an assistant in charge of student groups and government, yet to be named, and Harold Swoverlend, presently investigator with the Office of Saudent Organizations, named to the post of University housing investigator.
