Ky also told a news conference that if the civilian government that will eventually emerge from general elections is neutralist or Communist "I and my friends will fight it." Ky said the elections, expected to be held some time between Sept. 15 and Oct. 1, will elect only an assembly charged with drafting the nation's constitution. Once the constitution has been drafted, Ky said, another vote will be held to elect a legislative assembly which, in turn, will appoint a civilian government. THE SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM has changed its mind and announced yesterday that if a student taking the forth- coming draft deferment exam doesn't want to be-fingerprinted he won't be. In response to protests over the fingerprint .requirement laid down earlier, the system said other positive identification will be accepted. No examples were provided, a spokesman saying this will be decided by Science Research Associates which will administer the exams. SELECTIVE SERVICE OFFICIALS in Washington have clarified the criteria by which graduate students may continue their 2-S student deferments. "If the student has been accepted for admission for a degree by a graduate or professional school to the first class commencing after the date he completed requirements for admission; and if the school has certified that he is satisfactorily pursuing a full- time course of instruction leading to the degree; and if in his last full-time academic year prior to entrance in the graduate school he has achieved a scholastic standing on that year's work within the upper one-quarter of the male students in his class or has attained a score of 80 or more on the Selective Service qualifying test, the student will be eligible for continued defer- ment," the statement by Lt. Elven Higdon of the national Selec- tive Service office in Washington said. The requirement that a student have attained a top-quarter ranking based on his senior year of work or have passed the Selective Service test with a score of at least 80 applies not only to students entering graduate studies this fall but also to current graduate students who are candidates for a master's or doctoral degree. TEACHING FELLOWS will meet Tuesday night to formulate plans for an eventual link with the American Federation of College Teachers. The group is seeking higher salaries and better working conditions here. The teaching fellows have met with University administrators several times but have reported little progress toward fulfillment of their demands. * * * * THE CARPENTERS AND BRICKLAYERS strike which has crippled $67 million in University projects and other construction jobs throughout Michigan continues with little sign of an imminent break. The strikes are entering their fifth day. PROF. ALMANDO VEZZANI of the University's School of Education and a widely recognized authority on vocational education, died Thursday at the age of 60. He had bren a member of the University faculty for 22 years. STANLEY THAYER, former Michigan state senator from Ann Arbor and Repubiican Senate Majority Leader, has announc- ed his candidacy for the Washtenaw County Circuit Judge position. His move ended speculation that he might oppose Rep. Weston Vivian (D-Ann Arbor) in November's election for the House of Representatives in Washington. The Office of Academic Affairs announced yesterday the appoint- ment of a 15-member faculty steering committee to work with the OAA in coordinating Univer- sity programs on the "development of academic opportunities"-con- centrating on programs which bring Negroes in contact with the . University. The committee has been divided into three subcommittees, each of which will study and help plan three University programs. The first, the Opportunity Awards Program, two years old, brings to the University students who are economically unable to otherwise attend the University without aid, and who "in many instances have not had the cultural exposure" of most students. From 65 to 75 students, mostly Negroes, are recruited each year.I The second program, the Inter- institutional Exchange with Tus- kegee Institute, in operation since 1963, arranges for exchanges of faculty and students between the two institutions. The third program concerns "the recruitment of Negro facultyl and staff members." Vice-Presi-j dent for Academic Affairs Allan F. Smith has asked the committee to consider the University's posi- tion relating to Negro faculty members. The committee will work to set up ways to bring potential Negro faculty members to the attention of departments with openings. They will also give assistance with housing problems and questions of' discrimination. Associate Dean Norman R. Scott of the engineering school has been named chairman of the com- hittee. He says the committee was formed because the OAA wanted to have a faculty group coordinate thlese prgrams11!. Scott said the crt ion of suchI a rotp oes not imply any changes or expansion is being considered, but such ac-, tion might be taken. He noted that, for example, the: Opportunity Awards program is in: operation only in the literary col- lege and the engineering school, and the faculty committee, as the central coordinating group, could1 act to expand its scope,. The chairmen of the three sub- committees are William Schlatter, assistant to Smith, Prof. Ralph Gibson of the psychology depart- ment, and Robert Marion, admis- sions counselor. Other committee members in- clude Profs. Donald Brown and Edgar Epps of the psychology de- partment, Leonard Greenbaum and Rudolf Schmerl of the Eng-I lish department, Melvyn Semmel of the education school and Assistant Dean Hayden Carruth{ of the literary college. Committee B lames Kerr For, Actions. Homosexual Behavior, Sexual Promiscuity Termed Widespread By BETSY TURNER The California State Senate Committee on Un-American Acti- vities yesterday released a -de- tailed report on student activity at the Berkeley campus of the University of California: It de- scribed the campus as "seething with Communist and homosexual activity," and blamed University President Clark Kerr for this. Thedcommitteecharged that Communist-oriented students and non - students have made the Berkeley campus the nationwide center for the anti-Viet Nam war movement, under Kerr's adminis- tration. Sexuality and sexual pro- miscuity, the senators suggested are rampant. Kerr termed the report distort- ed and inaccurate, claiming it con- tained half-truths and situations taken out of context. He repeated his challenge that the report be presented outside the protection of legislative immunity. He also renewed his offer to appear before the committee at an open hear- ing. Rehires Professor The senators also charged Kerr -Daly-Thomas R.

Schaadt said that the elimination of Sunday night meals and a reduction in employs made possible by students busing their own dishes should eliminate the need for another dorm fee hike. He said the cut in services to keep rates at the samA leve hasj been made n(cessary in one in- stance by the drastic rise in food prices over the past six monthsI If the prices continue rising at the same rate they have been. Sri madt est imat -d thtnat the rst- dece hall budget x would have to accommodate a five to seven per cent increase for food. Pay increases for dorinitory em- ployes is another factor figuring in the service cut back. Schaadt insisted that "no one knows" at this time how much of a raise will have to be accounted for or how it xvill affect the budgeting of residence hall funds. If food and labor costs increase too drastically to be handled by available funds, the University has the option of deferring until the following year five per cent of the debt-servicing payment it makes annually. Dormitories are operated on a self-liquidating basis, financed by bonds which! are paid back from the excesses in fees after the deduction of operating expenses. Though Schaadt says the Uni-; versity hopes not to use the de- ferment next year, it could be used and the five per cent sum paid back the following year with-j out too much strain being placed on the residence hall budget.
