UNION FORUM:
Indian teach-in set;
confrontation likely

By MARCIA ZOSLAW
At University President Robben
Fleming's invitation, a group of
University staff members are
meeting today for a symposium
designed to "enhance their under-
standing of the American Indian."
Paul Johnson, Grad., said yes-
terday that he will confront the
board with demands for increased
educational opportunities for In-
dians -- as outlined in a suit he
filed nearly a year ago against the
Regents.

extensive written evaluations.
parts of which comprise the stu-
dent's permanent trariscript. The
Pilot Program, most of whose
courses are offered two credit
hours, are offered Pass/Fail or
Pass/No Entry - a change made
late last semester.
Supporters of the Pass/No En-
try method argued that it relieves
the teacher of making the diffi
cult choice of whether to fail a
student, thus compelling the stu-
dent to produce a greater effort in
achieving a "Pass".
In Lande's view, the committee
has now endorsed "the best plan
that's been proposed" in the Uni-
versity. A plan which the Com-
mittee on the Undergraduate Ex-
perience appears to be leaining to-
ward provides for Pass/No Entry
in introductory courses, with de-
creasing reliance upon it in the
upper level courses.

The suit claims that the Uni-
versity owes the Chippewa, Otta-
wa, and Potowatomy Indians
money and increased educational
opportunitiesetorcompensate for
the land those tribes gave to es-
tablish the University under the
Ft. Meigs Treaty of 1917.
According to the treaty, the In-
dians gave the University 3840
acres of land on which it was es-
tablished, "believing they may
wish some of their children here-
after educated."
The suit has been stalled sev-
eral months with University inter-
rogations which questioned John-
son's validity as a true Indian
representative.
Johnson responded to the Uni-
versity's 22 interrogatories yester-
day, describing his Indian gene-
alogy and reiterating that the
treaty constituted an exchange of
land for education, not a charit-
able trust.
The University, says Johnson,
"annually enrolls more Asian In-
dians than American Indians and
refuses to commemorate the In-
dians' role in establishing the col-
lege."
Johnson termed "irrelevant" in-
terrogatories on whether he at-
tends tribal meetings or whether
tht tribal government council au-
thorized him to start the lawsuit.
Johnson asks that the revenue
owed the Indians be divided into
two funds, one for financing In-
dian elementary and secondary
education throughout the state
and the other for financing Indian
college education in Michigan. He
is specifically asking for more In-
dian admissions and culture
courses at the University.
The University has made grad-
ual progress on Indian affairs so
far.

"Klute" and Gene Hackman, the1
relentless narcotics cop of "The,
French Connection," won top act-l
ing honors at the 44th moviea
Academy Awards last night.
"The French Connection," a
hard-hitting fast paced tale of
crime detection in New York City;
was selected best motion picture;
of 1971. Produced by Philip d'An-;
toni, the film was the major
victor with five awards.
Supporting acting awards went
to a pair of performers in "The
Last Picture Show"-Cloris Leach-
man, the lonely passionate wife of
the high school football coach,
and Ben Johnson, the hero figure
of a dying Texas town.
William Friedkin was hailed best
director of the year for "The
French Connection."
Writing awards were won by
Ernest Tidyman for his adapta-
tion of "The French Connection"
and Paddy Chayefsky for his orig-
inal script "The Hospital."
The best song award went to
Isaac Hayes for his "Theme from
Shaft" which comprised the most
dynamic production number of the
TV program. Hayes thanked his
grandmother for "keeping me on
the paths of righteousness" and
said that the Oscar was an 80th
birthday present for her.
Fonda, 34, won Hollywood's big-
gest prize despite her controver-
sial political views. She played it
cool in her acceptance speech re-
marking, "There's a great deal to
say and I'm not going to say it
tonight."
Sheis the daughter of Henry
Fonda, who has never won an Os-
car during his long acting career.
Hackman, 41, was more voluble.
He thanked his first acting coach,
his producer and his director,
Friedkin, "who really brought me
through this . . ." Hackman has
admitted that he wanted to quit
"The French Connection" after
two days of shooting but stuck it
out.

U.S. warplanes strike
deep into North Vietnam

they have been unable to continue
this success.
Nowhere in the country has a
provincial capital been taken and
the towns in enemy hands, aside
from those just south of the DMZ,
have little or no military or po-
litical value.
Saigon's forces, however, have
not retaken any of the land lost
south of the DMZ, concentrating
on hanging onto what is left.
Saigon has heavily reinforced
both the northern front, which
begins about 10 miles south of the
DMZ, and the area south of An
Loc along Highway 13, nicknamed,
"bloody" by American troops be-
cause of the high casualties they
suffered there in the past.
The northern front has com-
manded the war spotlight for
much of the time since the offen-
sive began 12 days ago. But the
Communist-led forces have been
unable to advance for the past
four days and over the weekend
fought two major battles "without
gaining one foot of ground," an
American official in Saigon
claimed
A key factor in the Quang Tri
fighting has been that for the first
time in the war, the enemy was
engaged in almost wholly conven-
tional_ fighting, not only with
tanks and massed infantry forma-
tions, but sophisticated anti-air-
craft units, including at least one
SAM battery., A SAM earlier
slightly damaged a B52 in a raid
Just south of the DMZ.
That incident served to high-

light the danger for the giant
bombers over almost any major
North Vietnamese target. Hanoi
has vastly strengthened its anti-
aircraft defenses since the United
States called a halt to the bomb-
ing in the North in 1968.
Air Force officials said in the
past the B52s simply could not
survive against SAMs since they
could not twist and turn the way
more maneuverable fighter bomb-
ers can.I
The U.S. Command would not
discuss details of the Vinh attack.
but North Vietnam said the attack
began in the predawn hours with
waves of attacking planes.
It appeared probable that the
smaller jets went in to destroy the
anti-aircraft positions before the
B52s arrived.
North Vietnam said it knocked
down three American jets in raids
north of the DMZ, but the U.S.
Command acknowledged only one
downed plane, an F4 Phantom, hit
over Laos.
