By MEREDITH EIKER
Paul Gernant, the economic de-
partment's representative to the
Teaching Fellows Organization, re-'
signed yesterday as a member of
the TFO policy committee to work
independently for fiscal reform
from the state administration and
Legislature.
In his statement to the public,
Gernant said "that the problem
of teaching fellows' salaries is
symptomatic of a much broader
problem. This is the lack of fore-
sight and planning the state ad-
ministration and Legislature have
shown in recent years regarding
the needs of higher education in
Michigan."
Gernant said further that he
would continue his support of the
.eaching fellows in their quest for
salary increases and other faculty
benefits, though he feels these to
be specialized problems, the cor-
rection of which may be conting-
ent upon state fiscal reform.
He said, however, that his fu-
ture support will, depend to a
large extent on the teaching fel-
lows' ability to get organized in
the near future. "I will not sup-
port," Gernant commented, "two
or three individuals who are cur-
rently making most of the deci-
sions and claiming to represent
the University teaching fellows."
He pointed out that only three de-
partments were represented at the
last executive committee meeting.
Gernant proposed that the "aca-
demic community take the initia-
tive on matters of public policy
affecting the future of higher ed-
ucation in Michigan" by forming
a committee composed of faculty
and students from the 11 state
colleges.
In Lansing last night Charles
Orlebeke, educational consultant
to Governor Romney, said that
Gernant's proposed Committee to
Improve Higher Education in
Michigan would meet with little
enthusiasm from the Legislature
and state administration. Any fac-
ulty committee utilized by the
state in planning fiscal reform
would necessarily come from the
State Association of American Uni-
versity Professors, he continued.
Gernant will have to gain sup-
port of the local AAUP and then
of the state AAUP before he can
even begin to be heard by the
Legislature, Orlebeke said.
Meanwhile, Gernant and three
other members of the TFO policy
committee met with Vice-Presi-
dent for Academic Affairs Smith
yesterday to discuss their d'emands
further. While some headway has
been made in gaining library priv-
ileges for the teaching fellows, the
issue of salaries remains nebulous.
Late World News
SANTO DOMININGO IP-Authoritative sources said last night
former President Juan Bosch planned to withdraw as a presi-
dential candidate today because of what he considered a lack
of guarantees of a free election.
The same sources said Bosch, regarded as the leading can-
didate, would ask the Dominican Revolutionary Party-PRD-
to retire from the campaign. The election is scheduled for June 1.
The executive committee of PRD, which Bosch founded. went
into emergency session last night to consider Bosch's request.

SAIGON (A')-An American helicopter carrying the U.S.
Marine commander in Viet Nam, Lt. Gen. Lewis W. Wait, his
chief of staff and Maj. Gen. Hynh Van Cao, new Vietnamese
1st Corps commander, was reported fired on early today by anti-
government troops in Hue.
There was no confirmation of the firing on Walt's air-
craft, but unofficidl reports said that neither the helicopter nor
any of those aboard was hit. However, the aircraft was said to
hve returned the fire from troops of the dissident 1st Army Corps.
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO STUDENTS late last night vot-
ed to withdraw "unconditionally" from the school's administration
building, which they had been occupying for the past five days to
protest the university's policy of sending grades and class
ranks to draft boards.
Though representatives of the group refused to issue a
statement explaining the decision to discontinue the sit-in, they
said that the vote was taken after several faculty members spoke
to the assemblage.
Members of the group also revealed that they will consider
seeking an injunction against the university to prohibit it from
sending grades to Selective Service offices and that a teach-in is
planned for tomorrow.
One student who spoke with a law professor on the idea of
the injunction, said that the filing might be made on grounds
that grades are privileged communications between students and
professors, who should be bound to keep professional confidences.
REPRESENTATIVES FROM VISTA (Volunteers in Service
to America) will be recruiting and speaking with interested
University students in the basement of the Michigan Union
today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
VISTA figures disclose that more than 75 per cent of its
volunteers are college trained. Those selected for the program
receive $50 a month which is banked for them until their year
is up, a rockbottom living allowance, and free medical and
dental care. The volunteers serve in poverty-stricken areas on
Indian reservations, in Appalachian hollows, in the slums of New
York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New Orleans; in Job Corps
centers and in migrant workers' camps.
REGENT ALVIN BENTLEY was recently discharged from St,
Joseph's Mercy Hospital after undergoing major surgery. Hos-
pital officials declined to give the reason for the operation, except
to say it was not connected with a bullet-wound Bentley received
in 1954 when he was shot by a Puerto rican terrorist while in the
House of Representatives in Washington.
Administrators Plan
Same Defense as
That Given to Senate
By MARTHA WOLFGANG
The House Ways and Means
Committee will hold hearings to-
morrow morning on the Univer-
sity's appropriations from the
State Legislature. The University
has two hours to defend the
amount of its budget request be-
fore the House committee. It had
to do essentially the same thing
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee many weeks ago.
Executive Vice-President Marvin
Niehuss said the University will
give essentially the same presen-
tation tomorrow that it gave to
the Senate Appropriations Com-
mittee.

Faxon Comments
Jack Faxon (D-Detroit), a mem-
ber of the House committee stat-
ed. "We expect to listen very care-
fully to the University's needs
and how we feel we can best meet,
those needs. We are interested in
knowing their alternative pro-
grams to the varying budget levels
that may be approved."
The House committee will act on
the bill passed by the Senate com-
mittee. This committee gave the
University a total appropriation of
$58 million. This was $6.3 million
less than the University's request,
but was more than $2.7 million
over Gov. George Romney's allot-
ment in the budget.

FOR 'PAY, PRESTIGE, CHALLENGE':
Recent Resignations of Facult
Plge Politica Science 11Dpar
The Political Science Department;
at Michigan State University has
been plagued in the past two
months by the resignations of de-
partment chairman Charles R.
Adrian and Professors Alfred G.
Meyer and Robert C. Scigliano, ac-
cording to the Michigan State
News.
Pay, prestige and challenge were
cited in explanations of their de-
partures .though the professors
denied that the department's in-
volvement in the controversial and
recently exposed MSU-Viet Nam
project played a part in their
decision.
The most difficult task faced by
the department will be filling the
vacancies of Meyer and Scigliano,
though the university plans a vig-
orous recruitment program. Also
complicating the department's ad-
justment to the loss of three
"name" instructors is the fact

that one full professor and two
associate professors will be on
leave for a year beginning this
fall.
CIA Bungling Not a Factor
Adrian, who has accepted a po-
sition at the University of Cali-
fornia, Riverside, told the State
News, "The University's abysmal
handling of the CIA-MSU Project
situation in no way influenced my
decision to resign. I do think." he
continued, "that it was typical of
the University's failure to realize
that it is now a first-rate insti-
tution which no longer has to kow-
tow to conventional wisdom."
"But fundamentally, I'm leaving
because I've been offered a bet-
ter paying job in a higher status
institution."
Adrian also said, "One of the
things we don't know at MSU is
whether the cut-off point is go-
ing to be 50,000, one million, or
never. Also. at California the stu-
dent-faculty ratio will be a known
quantity. Here you never know if
increased enrollment means in-
creased faculty or not."

Americans here feel the war effort
already has been set back and
could be further jeopardized by
the clash between the military
and Buddhists.
Ky's f-o r c e s controlled key
areas of Da Nang on Monday, but
antigovernment rebels held out in
scattered places such as the
pagoda.
The Buddhist demands upon
the military junta were announced
in an impassioned speech in Sai-
gon by Thien Minh, spokesman
for Saigon's Buddhist leaders,
chiefly Thich Tri Quang, who is
regarded as a militant.
Assassination Plot
Minh charged in reference to
the takeover at Da Nang that
"there is a plot to assassinate all
Buddhists."
He spoke to a crowd of about
1,000 standing in the rain.
"All monks will sacrifice them-
selves to strike against the gov-
ernment," he said.
Demand Withdrawal
He demanded the speedy with-
drawal of government troops from
Da Nang-site of vast U.S. mili-
tary installations 380 miles north-
east of Saigon-and that the gov-
ernment "find an immediate solu-
tion" to restore civilian rule.

pockets. The coastal city was out-
