fraud charge
By DAN BIDDLE
After five hours of testimony and cross-examination the
Central Student Judiciary (CSJ) could not reach a decision
last night on charges of "gross fraud" in last month's all-
campus elections.
The hearing, which lasted into the early hours of the
morning, had been called to examine SGC member Joel

WASHINGTON (R) - The
Price Commission has ordered two
firms it found to have excess pro-
fit margins to roll back prices
within 10 days.
Yesterday's action came a day
after the government said review
of financial reports showed 20
per cent of the nation's biggest
businesses appeared to have high-
er profit margins than allowed
' under current economic controls.
Browning - Ferris Industries,
Inc., a waste - management firm
based in Houston, and Harvest
Markets, Inc., food retailers of
Buffalo, N.Y., were ordered to re-
duce the selling prices of goods
and services.
In addition, the Price Com-
mission ordered International
Telephone and Telegraph Corp.
to make refunds to purchasers of
brake-shoe products put out by
Aimco Industries, Inc., a subsidi-
ary: The commission said refunds
of the difference between the base
price and selling prices must be
made for Aimco sales between
Jan. 3, and Feb. 23, 1972.
Donald Rumsfeld, director of
the Cost of Living Council, said
Tuesday that 24 of 105 quarter-
ly reports studied showed unac-
ceptable profit margins. These
firms, he said, "run the risk of
being found in violation of the
stabilization - program regula-
tions if they are unable to justify
their reports."
The statement by Rumsfeld
seems to back up at least in part
the charges made by critics of
Nixon's economic plan, who have
said that big business is accum-
ulating high profits despite the
price control program.
However, some, of the critics,
including AFL - CIO President
George Meany, have said that
business was accumulating high
profits even while following the
regulations prescribed by the Pay
Board.

earlier statement by Silverstein
-accusing Schaper of ballot-
stuffing in last November's
SGC elections. Silverstein said
his charge was based on state-
ments made to him by former
SGC officer Jay Hack several
weeks ago.
Silverstein and Schaper have
both refused to comment further
on the suit.
Last night's CSJ hearing began
the final series of proceedings in
a month-long controversy over the
validity of the all-campus elec-
tions.
The court heard testimony from
chemistry Prof. A. A. Gordus, who
contended that his analysis of 500
sample ballots "implies conclusive-
ly that about 400 of the 5,229 votes
were fraudulently cast for
GROUP."
Gordus said his conclusion was
reached on the basis of "highly
irregular patterns" in the manner
in which certain ballots in his
sample had been filled out.
In cross-examination SGC mem-
bers Marty Scott of GROUP and
Curt Steinhauer of the Respon-
sible Alternative Party (RAP)
cited faults in Gordus' methods.
The defense also claimed possible
political bias on Gordus' part.
Silverstein then called Schaper
to the stand and attempted to
show possible conflict of interest
in his position as Elections Direc-
tor. However Schaper denied "any
possible connection" between his
recent appointment as SGC Treas-
urer and his actions as Elections
Director.
Silverstein then presented what
he described as "clincher evi-
dence"-the allegation that several
of the "questionable" s a m p l e
GROUP ballots showed impressions
made from ballots on top of them.
Silverstein contended that sucht
impressions "could not have been
made in the normal voting pro-
cedure."
Scott and Steinhauer attempted
to further disprove the validity of1
Gordus' findings by presentingt
their own e x p e r t witnesses -1
GROUP member John Koza, who.
has written computer programs for
the last four SGC elections, nuclear
physics Prof. Mark Ross, and as-
sistant Prof. Ed Rothman of the
statistics department.
All three men challenged the
accuracy of Gordus' "random
sample;" Ross claimed that Gor-
dus had drawn a "faulty correla-
tion between marking patterns andt
voting patterns."

Diag protest
About 150 people rally on the Diag yesterday in response to the recent stepping-up of U.S. air power
in Indochina. The protest, organized by People Against the Air War (PAAW), was a prelude to a
march on the Hoover Ball and Bearing Company today. PAAW alleges that the Hoover company

Group links DOD research to war
By ROBERT BARBER
Dispatch News service
STANFORD, Calif. - A group of Stan-
ford University students has uncovered
evidence that every research project fund-
ed by the Defense Department has direct
military application.
According to the Stanford group, no
research, however "basic," is funded by
the Pentagon unless both military experts
and a joint committee of the National
Academy of Sciences and the National
Research Council agree the project has
direct military relevance.
The Stanford Workshop on Political and
Social Issues (SWOPSI) is the group that
made the disclosure. SWOPSI claims it
was given documents from the Defense
Documentation Center (DDC), a store-
house of information on defense projects.
SWOPSI matched all Stanford projects
to specific military requirements. A Stan-
ford project entitled "Fundamental In-
vestigations of Amorphous Semiconductors
and Transition Metal Oxides" was shown
Radicals have claimed that all federal-
ly-funded research is war-related; and the
SWOPSI findings constitute the first real
evidence to support their claims.
The first volume of the SWOPSI re-
port, published in June, 1971, listed uni-
versity and DDC statements for all 111
defense projects at Stanford. Several
Stanford professors attacked the validity
of the interpretations given their work by
the DDC.
After publication of the first volume,
In those meetings he was given another

tary. These handbooks - the Army's
"Military Themes for Oriented Research
of High Scientific Merit", "The Air Force
Research Objectives," and the "Naval Re-
search Requirements" - are used by mili-
tary contract monitors in dealing with
prospective researchers.

Albers says the Pentagon representatives "stressed over and
over again that nothing was funded unless military applications
were expected. One claimed never to have heard the 'science-

In a discussion with several of
the strikers, Thomas voiced his
viewpoint that they must "be
careful on whom they impose a
union ship." Going on, Thomas ex-
pressed overall favor of unioniza-
tion, but not necessarily union
