Students To Stage 'Stay-In'
Tonight at Local Theatre,
Walker Loses in Bid Monks Fast in Protest

By MICHAEL JULIAR
Students will hold a "stay-in"
atthe Michigan Theatre tonight
toiprotest the recent admission
price increases at the three Ann
Arbor theatres.
At the same time, Student Gov-
ernment Council was attempting
to set up a meeting with represen-
tatives of W. C. Butterfield Thea-
tres, Inc. central offices in De-
troit.
Council President Douglas Brook,
'65, and Council Member Thomas
Smithson, '65, SGC's representa-
tives to Butterfield, hope that an
"acceptable agreement" can be
reached before SGC meets Wed-
nesday.
To Remain in Theatre
The idea behind the "stay-in"
is to 'protest the 25 per cent price
increase by having students re-
main in the theatre through part
of the second show.
SGC asked for the "stay-in" to
show "the management and own-

Top Positions in GSC Voting
By LAUREN BAHR
Graduate Student Council yesterday elected new officers and
discussed their involvement with the recently proposed course
description booklet.
James McEvoy, Grad, the newly elected president, said GSC
will expand its activities in the community, especially in the areas
ers of the Butterfield Theatres
that it has wide-spread student
support in its demand for a price
reduction."
SGC requested that "this be the
sole extent of student action until
next Wednesday, Jan. 27, thus
giving SGC and Butterfield Thea-
tres one week to reach an accept-
able agreement before further ac-
tion is taken."I
Move Action
However, several student organi-
zations have asked for more action
than SGC proposed Wednesday
night. The Young Democrats,
Voice Political Party and the In-
dependent Socialist Club will form
pickets at the Michigan Theatre
both Friday and Saturday and
pass out leaflets urging patrons
"to remain in the theatre through
the 9 p.m. show."
The three groups are also urg-
ing a boycott of the 9 p.m. show
and a complete boycott of the
State Theatre on both nights.
Graduate Student Council last
night added its support to the
SGC resolution. The council took
the action because it said "the
quality of films presently being
shown in no way justifies the in-
crease in admission prices. GSC
urges the University to exert in-
fluence on both prices and qual-
ity."
Give Support
Inter-Quadrangle Council, As-
sembly Association, Student Em-
ployes Union, International Stu-
dents Association, the Lawyers
Club and the Young Republicans
earlier gave their support to SGC.
Students are protesting the re-
cent ticket price increase at the
three Ann Arbor theatres, all own-
ed by Butterfield. No demonstra-
tion has been called at the Cam-
pus Theatre because student lead-
ers feel that its present show of
three movies for the single ad-
mission price is not unfair.
Student leaders have pointed
out that the Regents, with a mi-
nority interest in the Butterfield
chain and two representatives on
the six-man Butterfield board of
lirectors, "can certainly voice their
opinion on the price increase, but
they have failed to do this."
The leaders have urged "the
University to take a stand on this
issue, and to use its power to re-
duce prices to the original level."
Students yesterday were distrib-
uting 350 posters throughout the
men's and women's residence halls
supporting the single night dem-
onstration called for by SGC.
Other students working in the
Student Activities Bldg., were con-
structing pickets and printing
leaflets urging the two-night dem-
onstration.
The Council motion had asked
that all student organizations "en-
courage their members to support
SGC action."
Churchill Still
Eludes Death
LONDON () - Sir Winston
Churchill's ordeal neared the end
of its first week last night with
no change reported in his des-
perate battle for life.
Lord Moran, Churchill's per-
sonal physician, visited him at
midday and in the evening and
said he could find no change in
the slow but certain weakening of
the 90-year-old statesman felled
by a stroke last Friday.
Medical experts repeated that
Churchill could linger at the same
low ebb for days.
For Commons Seat
LONDON (M-Britain's Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker
lost his bid for a seat in the House of Commons last night in an
election that shook Prime Minister Harold Wilson's Labor Party
government and sent Conservative hopes soaring.

ites reduced Labor's margin in Parliament to three seats. La

strators said they sat down to prevent troops from entering the
pagoda.
Khanh Says Rebels May
Achieve Political Victory
CAN THO, Viet Nam (Y')-The Communist Viet Cong guerrillas
cannot win a military victory, but they might take over South Viet
Nam by psychological and political means, strongman Lt. Gen.
Nguyen Khanh said yesterday.
"This year the Viet Cong have adopted new tactics," the armed
forces commander told newsmen here. "They are fighting in large
units, up to two regiments, maybe more. In this new phase, they
are using conventional rather than
guerrilla tactics, and they are thus
within our specialty. We have tac-
tical and material superiority in
conventional warfare.
Psychological
.But I think the whole problem
is psychological," he said.
Khanh warned against defeatist
thinking.
"The battle of Dien Bien Phu
was not what lost the Indochina
war for the French in 1954. It
was the pessimism of politicians
that lost that war," he said. "Let's
not, make the same errors as in
1954.
"From a military standpoint,
there will be no new Dien Bien
Phu, but psychologically I don't
know. There seems to be defeatist
feeling in Saigon, perhaps even in
Washington.
Chinese Threat
Khanh, military strongman of
SouthViet Nam for the past year,
said that even the danger of the
new Chinese Communist atomic
bomb was more psychological than
military at the moment.
"In Asia, psychological things
are the most important," he said.
"China is our hereditary enemy,
and they are a nation of 700
million while we are only 14 or
15 million. Even if they cannot
yet deliver their atomic bomb, it
worries us."
Referring to his recent diplo-
matic clash with the United States
embassy, Khanh said his relations
with the Americans had returned
to normal., I
"We had certain differences of
opinion," he said. "I was charged
at one point with being anti-
American, but this certainly is not
a valid charge.
Vote To End
Dock Strike"
NEW YORK UP) - Longshore-
men in the port of New York vot-
ed better than two to one yester-
day to accept a once-rejected
waterfront labor contract, thus
paving the way for eventual settle-
ment of a multimillion dollar East
and Gulf,'Coast dock strike.
Final tabulation showed 12,104
in favor of the contract, with
5,236 against. Two weeks ago the
same contract was voted down
8,722 to 7,957.
The strike has idled 60,000 dock-
ers from Maine to Texas for 11
days.
No Mass Return
No immediate mass return. to
work was in prospect, however,
despite approval of the new pact,
which contains an historic and
controversial automation clause,
which gives shipping firms the
right to reduce waterfront work
gangs from 20 to 17 men.
Up to ILA
Hotwever, Alexander P. Chopin,
chairman of the 145-member New
York shipping association said, "It
is up to the ILA leadership to get
the men back to work as quickly
as possible.
In Washington, Secretary of
Labor W. Willard Wirtz said he
hoped union and management of-
ficials at the other ports on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts will be
able to arrive at a speedy settle-
ment so that shipping operations
can be resumed.

Crush Viet Cong Unit
In Delta Offenisive
SAIGON (P)-A skirmish be-
tween police and 30 militant
youths built up tension yesterday
at the Buddhist .headquarters of
Premier Tran Van Huong.
Meanwhile, helicopter - borne
Vietnamese forces crushed a large
Viet Cong unit in the Mekong
River delta 50 miles south of Sai-
gon in one of the most success-
ful government efforts in weeks.
According to reports from Unit-
ed States authorities, government
troops killed 46 Viet ong and
captured 61 other guerrillas in
the fight. Thirty-five other per-
sons were rounded up as sus-
pects.
Three of the assaulting helicop-
ters were downed by heavy ene-
my fire, but friendly losses for
the day were listed as only five
killed and 11 wounded.
Heavy Fire
During the government attack,
some 1500 government troops were
poured into the Kien Hoa prov-
ince landing zone where enemy
troops had been erported. The
troops were, carried in two big
waves, both of which drew heavy
fire.
In Saigon, Vietnamese infantry-
men moved up, strung barbed wire
and placed the sprawling Buddhist
headq'uarters under virtual sieg,
after the youths, who started the
clash by heckling the police, were
subdued. Ten were arrested.
A paratroop battalion stood in
reserve at nearby offices of Sai-
gon's military governor, Brig. Gen.
Pham Van Dong.
Dong said he will take all nec-
essary measures to preserve pub-
lic order and security. He warned
that the city's curfew, now in ef-
fect from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m., will
be extended if disturbances per-
sist.
Loyalty
While soldiers showed their loy-
alty to Huong's government, how-
ever, 40 Buddhist chaplains of the
armed forces lined up on the oth-
er side.
On this second day of a fasa
which avowedly will be carried to
death if necessary, the chaplains
had a tearful conference with the
hunger strikers at the headquar-
ters' main pagoda.
They pledged loyalty to the
leader, Chairman Thich Tam
of the Buddhist Institute, and said
they will seek volunteers to fast
with him.
The monks rested on cots under
mosquito netting, hoping for an
nusurge of popular sympathy to
topple the U.S.-backed govern-
ment.
Oppression
Though Buddhists complain Hu-
ong is oppressing them-a com-
plaint used effectively in 1963
against the late President Ngo
Dinh Diem-none of them have
yet chosen to revive the fire sui-
cide technique.
There obviously has been no
rush of volunteers for self-immo-
lation, such as the six monks and
a nun who burned themselves to
death to dramatize their opposi-
tion to Diem.
American sources said U.S. Am-
bassador Maxwell D. Taylor had
urged Chau and Thich Tri Qu-
ang, another of the hunger strik-
ers, at a meeting Saturday not to
rock the boat.
The U.S. considers a stable gov-
ernment essential to successful
prosecution of the war against the
Viet Cong.

CLARIFYING THE BIBLE:
De
Vaux Contrasts Archeology and Tradition
By KAY HOLMES
The truth is something which has 'been long sought after, and
has been claimed to be found in various sources. The Bible represents
the truth for centuries of Semites. However, what happens when Bib-
lical truths are exposed to the critical eyes of archeologists?
This question with its numerous ramifications was discussed by
Father de Vaux, director of L'Ecole Biblique et Archeologique at
Jerusalem in his lecture at the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation last
night.
Entitled "Biblical Traditions and External Evidence," Father de
Vaux's lecture was one of a series of three Zwerdling Lectures on
"The Hebrew Patriarchs and History."
The Zwerdling Lectures are an annual series provided in memorial
for Osias Zwerdling of Ann Arbor by his three sons, and are presented
by the near eastern language department, the Beth Israel Congrega-
The difficulty with oral traditions lies in the fact that they are
not fixed, but may be added to in various ways. Those traditions
develop through derivations from outside groups, and they are en-'
larged in history as each generation adds its own interpretation.
Poetic forms may also be added to the tradition, he noted.
"Since writing is used to preserve, not to create, writing is the
last stage in the development of a tradition,"
Archeology is the test of Biblical truths, for it provides the ex-
ternal evidence needed to check Biblical traditions.
Although the Bible tells of Joshua's trumpets crumbling the wall
of Jericho, archeologists have dated their findings of the city in the
third millenium before Christ. This is much too early for the Biblical
accounts, and even the nature of the conquest itself is in dispute, for
the warlike Biblical tradition has been confronted with a theory of
peaceful infiltration over a longer period, he said.
