U.S., Britain Heads Meet WASHINGTON (R) - President Lyndon B. Johnson and Prime Minister Harold Wilson began yesterday a joint search for guide- lines the United States and Bri- tain may follow in tackling the controversial problem of NATO's nuclear future. The two leaders met twice alone, for 90 minutes in mid- morning and for about one hour in the afternoon. During the af- ternoon session the controversil question of the United States-pro- posed mixed - manned seaborne nuclear missile fleet was "opened up" and Wilson began outlining his thinking on this subject. No Blueprint But Johnson and his guest ap- proached the question on a very general level, diplomatic inform- ants stressed. Officials from both sides repeatedly cautioned that no "blueprint" for a NATO nuclear force will emerge from the con- ference and that MLF is only one factor of the real issue: the de- fense of the Western alliance. The subject of the talks between the two leaders was the world, as one spokesman put it, and he re- minded that the United States and Britain are the only two Western powers with world-wide responsibilities. The Johnson-Wilson talks rep- resent a continuation of the tra- ditional Anglo-American dialogue. More talks will follow on various levels, the informants said, but they were reluctant to say whether Wilson will return to Washington in January, as expected. Coordinate Next Visit Th prime minister, they said, has a commitment to address the United Nations General Assembly and he will coordinate his next visit to this country with John- son's obligations. Wilson will continue to outline his ideas on NATO's reorganiza- tion today, the informants said. The two leaders and their aides also intend to discuss again the situation in Southeast Asia, and Johnson is expected to bring up the request that Britain assist the United States in efforts to stop Communist aggression in South Vietnam.. Housing Unit, OSA To Meet "Although the University and the city have cooperated for years in improving housing conditions in Ann Arbor, until recently stu- dents have not sought to chan- nel their interests in private hous- ing through an organized group," Martin Zimmerman, chairman of the Off-Campus Housing Advisory Board, said recently. The board, established early in the semester by Student Govern- ment Council, has been charged to work in an advisory capacity with the Off-Campus Housing Bu- reau of the Office of Student Af- fairs. They will meet tonight. Zimmerman, '66A&D, said the board will work with Mrs. Eliza- beth A. Leslie, associate director of student activities in charge of Off-Campus Housing. They will work on revisions of University approved rental agree- ments, apartment inspections, me- diations, and other aspects of the off-campus housing program.

The grievance reports are the result of an extensive "grievance package" that was written by Barry Bluestone, '66, early in the fall. At that time, SGC formed ad hoc committees to study the areas of student concern. Vacant Seat In further action last night, SGC elected James Boughey, '66, to fill the Council seat vacated by Carl Cohen, '66. Based on the belief that theI University is entering a period that will require experimentation in new teaching methods and course materials, SGC last night voiced its approval of academic reform. SGC will support experimenta- tion in teaching methods. The Council envisions these new meth- ods to include such techniques as video-tape lectures and the elimination of "straight" lectures. To Hold DAC Hearing Soon1 A hearing on a motion to remand WashtenawaCircuitiCourt! the case of seven Direct Action Committee members will be held next Monday in Federal District Court, Detroit. The DAC members were arrest- ed last February in a demonstra-! tion at City Hall and were charged with obstructing an officer in his efforts to maintain the peace. Circuit Court action was stayed when defense attorneys filed a petition to have the case removed to the federal court for trial or to have it considered as a civil rights case and handled in federal court. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney! L. Ray Bishop will appear Mon- day to argue his motions to re- mand the case for trial and to dismiss the civil rights complaint. The case is before Federal Dis- trict Judge Ralph M. Freeman. The case of the seven demon- strators was scheduled for trial Nov. 23. That trial was automat- ically stayed because of the de- fense petition filed a few days before the trial date. year or by a week of separate senior preregistration. SGC will also recommend that a more flexible system for pre- classification be instituted, so that incoming freshmen may register for those courses which are "piv- :otal"in their choice . of a major ... or career plan. Minimum Number Such a flexible system could be implimented through an exten- sion of the already existing pre- professional programs. Under such :2 a system, the University will know, fat least, the minimum number of students that it can expect to take certain required courses and can therefore, make a more realistic approximation of the number of students who will be taking such a course. SGC will also urge that course permits be given by academic JAMES BOUGHEY counselors to certain students.

A student will be given a' Ii pate in discussion of matters con- cerning students. SGC will also establish an ad' hoc committee to plan a confer- ence between various groups con- cerned with academic reform to' work out a coordinated system for planning. This committee willj be composed of represenvatives of such groups as the literary college Steering Committee and the Grad- uate Student Council. SGC also approved the recoin- I mendations of the Committee on; Course Availability.

It is hoped that a priority system can be worked out either; by assigning priority for courses on the basis of major, school or permit that will insure his en- trance into a certain course. Submit Report SGC also acted on the report submitted by the Student Eco- nomic Welfare Committee. Realizing that University stu- dents, living off-campus, pay "par- ticularly high rents," SGC will make arrangements with a grad- uate student in the School of Business Administration to tin- vestigate the rate of return on the investment in Ann Arbor apartment buildings. If the research shows that un- fair rates are being charged, SGC will prevail upon the University to use its influence to lower these rates. Text Books SGC feels that the University has not taken the steps needed to alleviate the high cost of text books in Ann Arbor. Other state universities have established uni- versity-run bookstores. However, a Regents' bylaw prohibits the University from setting up such a bookstore. Therefore, SGC will recommend See SGC, Page 2 Berkeley Peace Proposals These are the two proposals drafted Sunday aimed at ending student demonstrations at the University of California at Berke- ley. The first was drafted by the Berkeley Council of Department Chairmen. 1) The university community ought to be governed by orderly and lawful procedures in the settlement of issues, and full and free pursuit of educational activities shall be maintained. 2) The university community shall abide by the new and lib- eralized political action rules and await the report of the (Academic) Senate Committee on Academic Freedom. 3) Department chairmen be- lieve acts of civil disobedience on Dec. 2-3 were unwarranted and that they obstruct rational and fair consideration of griev- ances brought forth by students. 4) The cases of all students arrested in connection with the sit-in in Sproul Hall on Dec. 2-3 are now before the courts. The university will accept the court's judgment in these cases as full discipline for those of- fenses. 4) In the light of the cases now and prospectively before the courts, the university will not prosecute charges against any students for actions prior to Dec. 2-3, but the university will invoke disciplinary actions for any violations henceforth. The second proposal was ap- proved unanimously by 200 fac- ulty members for consideration today by the Academic Senate. The Berkeley Division of the Academic Senate resolves: 1) That there be no disci- plinary action against members of the university commuhity for past actions in connection with the current controversy over political speech and activity, and that the university refrain from pressing charges against members of the university com- munity arrested on Dec. 3. 2) That there be reasonable regulation of political activity to prevent interference with the normal functioning of the uni- versity, but that the content of speech or advocacy shoul not be regulated; and that the exist- ing regulations should not be viewed as final until the Com- mittee on Academic Freedom has reported concerning mini- mal regulations necessary for this purpose. 3) The university rules should be revised so as to exempt from university regulations bothoff- campus student political activi- ties and on-campus advocacy or organization of such activi- ties. 4) The futuredisciplinary measures in the area of polit- ical activities be determined by a committee appointed by and responsible to the Berkeley di- vision of the Academic Senate; the decisions of this committee to be final, except that students on whom the committee imposes penalties be permitted to appeal to the chancellor. City Doubles Inspection Nit The Ann Arbor City Council' passed a motion last night doubl- ing the strength of the Ann Arbor Professors Draft More Liberal, Plan Protestors Endorse Second Document; Administration Mum By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM Protesting Berkeley students flatly rejected a series of minor concessions from the University of California administration yes- terday as an informal faculty group worked out a supplementary proposal with terms more accept- able to the students. These developments took place in a day of frenzied student, fac- ulty and administrative activity spurred by the virtual all-day shutdown of classes on the 27,000- student campus. The administra- tion officially cancelled all morn- ing classes to present its conces- sions at a mass meeting of stu- dents. Meanwhile, a San Francisco Chronicle columnist familiar with the campus reported that Berke- ley Chancellor Edward Strong will be dismissed and made a "scape- goat" for the controversy., - 200 Faculty The second ' peace proposal, drafted by some 200 faculty mem- bers Sunday, was finalized late last night. for its presentation to a previously-scheduled Academic Senate meeting today. If accepted as its proponents expect it to be, the proposal will go to the Berke- ley administration and the Uni- versity of California Regents. While the administration senti- ment is unknown, the student protestors were satisfied that the document fulfills their demands which sparked the first of a series of demonstrations nearly three months ago. At that time'they organized the first demonstration to protest re- strictions. against on-campus stu- dent political activity. In recent demonstrations of over 1000 people last week and nearly 10,000 stu- dents yesterday, they have added a demand for the end of dis- ciplinary threats to their leaders. Main Concession The dropping of charges against them was the major concession spelled out yesterday by University of California President Clark Kerr in a convocation in the Univer- sity's Greek theatre. The "peace agreement" present- ed there and rejected by student leaders had been drafted by a group of department chairmen and presented to Kerr at an in- formal Sunday meeting which was also attended by California Gov- ernor Edmund G. (Pat) Brown and several California regents. It declared that the community "ought to be governed by orderly and lawful procedures," promising that the university would let the courts alone judicate the cases of morethan 500 sit-in demon- strators. Trespass Charges Their arraignment was con- tinued yesterday morning in a community theater. They are charged with trespassing and other civil violations for the sit-in at the university's administration building last week. A few hours latex Kerr took the podium on campus to disclose his concessions. Minutes after he fin- ished, Mario Savio, leader of the Free Speech Movement which has led the demonstrations, tried to reach the podium. He was prevented from speak- ing by police, dragged to a nearby building and locked up.
