that the longer the issue is de-
layed, the greater chance there is
of it being ignored once the sum-
mer vacation starts next month.
Spradlin said that he would do
what he could, but that it would
take time to get things together.
Arriving next at the office of
LSA Dean Frank Rhodes in the
LSA building, the protesters learn-
ed that Rhodes was at a meeting.
They presented his secretary with
a list of grievances.
Commenting upon the demon-
stration, group spokesman Bob
Conrow said, "The entire situa-
tion has been impossible this last
year. At times, classes have been
forced to meet in the resident di-
rector's apartment, or else have
been crowded around a pinball
machine or once even met in a
linen closet."
The nurses currently occupy
three office sites encompassing
one corridor, plus one classroom.
Karen Harbeck, organizer of
the demonstration stated after-
wards that she was quite pleased
with the event, and thought it
had been successful.
"We've made ourselves heard.
It made people aware of the is-
sues being sat upon," Harbeck
commented.
Harbeck said that "everyone was
t encouraged" in that they believe
- today's meetings in Fleming's of-
fice would bear out positive re-
sults.

killed and four Vietnamese and 11
Americans were wounded when 18
rockets slammed into Da Nang air
base, the biggest U.S. fighter-
bomber installation in Vietnam,
American officials said.
One plane was destroyed and at
least five others damaged in the
attack.
Continued heavy fighting raged
around the Cambodian city of
Kompong Trach. The central sec-
tion of that border town is now in
the hands of Communist forces,
Cambodian government sources
reported.
In Paris, the North Vietnamese
CARE endrosements
CARE, a local group working for
the election of liberal candidates
to the city school board, endorsed
Henry Johnson and Nancy Brus-
solo as candidates for the June
election.
Although neither Johnson nor
Brussolo had officially declared
their candidacy, it now seems like-
ly that they will run.
CARE's endorsement for the
filling of the third' school board
seat up for election was postponed
for two weeks, pen-ding the release
of endorsements by the Human
Rights Party (HRP).
Built on the foundations of the
liberal "Citizens for Good Schools,
group, CARE is less than a year
old.
One of the group's main con-
cerns, according to chairwoman
Missy Fritz, is to prevent a recur-
rence of last year's school board
election--when nine liberal candi-
dates split the vote and three con-
servatives were elected. By endors-
ing only three candidates, Fritz
said, it is hoped that CARE can
provide a narrower field for lib-
eral voters.
ABOUT 80 students from Couzens Hall confront housing director John Feldkamp yesterday. The
students demanded that Feldkamp return dormitory space to them for classes. Feldkamp's office
was one of five stops the protesters made.
TRIPARTITE SOLUTION:
omen discuss three alternate'
action plans; hit Fleming proposal
and Viet Cong delegations to the
peace talks there both demanded
that negotiations begin again to-
day, and that the US halt its
bombing of North Vietnam. The
peace talks have been cancelled
by President Nixon, who says they i
will be discontinued until the op-
posing side is willing to negoti-
ate "seriously."
France is also pressing for an
early resumption of the peace
talks, which were broken off three
weeks ago In Washington, the
State Department called on
French officials to express dis-
pleasure at France's request for
resumption of the peace negotia-
tions.

In an interview yesterday
from Mexico City, Monterroso
said he first encountered trouble
at the airport when the birthdate
he gave immigration officials did
not agree with the date on his
passport.
After this, Monterroso said, of-
ficials detained him for nearly
five hours of questioning, first on
his personal and family history,
and then on his political ideas-
specifically regarding Communism.
Monterroso refused to answer all
political questions. He said he was
told he could not enter the U.S.
because he was a suspected com-
munist. He returned to Mexico
City on the next plane.
Monterroso called the interroga-
tion an "indignity." "I refused to
answer," he said yesterday. "I
was invited to give a lecture about
literature, not politics."
According to Romance Language
Prof. Jose Durand, Monterroso
holds a valid passport and a. mul-
tiple visa. He was admitted to
New York two years ago with 'his
wife and children, without en-
countering any trouble.
Following the denial of entry to
Monterroso, Arreola' decided not
to attend the conference. Assoc.
Prof. of Romance Languages Fran-
ces Weber said his action was due
to outrage at the treatment given
Monterroso, an old friend. Durand,
however, said Arreola's poor health
prevented his attendance.
Monterroso is a well-known La-
tin American essayist and short
story writer. He has also served
as Guatemalan Secretary of the
Embassy in Mexico and Bolivia.

On Wednesday, January 12, 1972, NBC National
News carried a story about American corporate in-
vestment in Vietnam. The U.S. government insures
75% of a company's investment-with your money.
The commentator went on to say that if it were not
for American taxpayers, corporate investors would
not be in Vietnam.
The money that the government spends is your
money. Individual income taxes account for 55%
of the administrative budget. Excise taxes-like the
tax on your telephone-account for another 10%
-and essentially, excise taxes are paid for by in-
dividuals.

The University's Commission for
Women yesterday discussed three'
alternate models to a proposal for
the job of Affirmative Action Di-
rectpr announced last week by
President Robben Fleming.
According to Fleming's plan, the
affirmative action officer would
have a largely advisory role. The
women's commission and the Com-
mission for Minorities would be-
come advisory to the director, or
they could choose to act as om-
budsmen or ombudswomen.
Women's commission members
had expressed disapproval of Flem-
ing's job description, saying it
lacked "clout" and would function
to "in effect destroy the commis-
sion."
The three proposals discussed
yesterday all strentghen the pow-
ers of the proposed officer. They
will be submitted to the President
tomorrow rated in order of the
commission's preference. The Ex-
ecutive Officers will deliberate on
the proposed post next Tuesday.
The proposal preferred by the
commission calls for a tripartite
affirmative action leadership made
up of a Special Assistant to the
President for Affirmative Action,
a compliance officer, and an Af-
firmative Action Council.
The council would be made up
of an associate dean or associate
director from each of the Univer-
sity's administrative units, schools
and colleges.
The second proposal changes the
wording of Fleming's proposal toI
give it more "clout." The third
proposal, while being closest to
Fleming's, would still give the of-
ficer direct responsibility for im-
plementation for employment re-
form.
Commission m e m b e r Edward
Hayes, University Manager of
Compensation Plans and Personnel
Information, warned yesterday, "I
don't think the President has in
mind someone who has the respon-
sibility of implementation."
Fleming heard commission ob-
jections to his proposal Monday
and said he understood the group's
concerns but intended to stick to
his original position.
However, commission members
claimed a single officer could not
possibly handle the whole affirma-
tive action program.
A systems analysis approach to
the commission's Model A or Flem-
ing's plan was presented at yes-
terday's meeting by Director o
Administrative Systems Mike Wal-
ters, head of the University's dele-
gation to HEW at a meeting in
Chicago this February.
Walters cited specific means for
implementation and enforcement
of affirmative action programs.
The women's and minority com-
missions were formed in fall 197(
as part of the University's Affirma.
tive Action Program when HEW
charged the University with sex
discrimination and threatened to
withhold federal contracts.
The Department of Health, Edu.
cation and Welfare's Revised Order
No. 4, issued in January and re-
ferring specifically to large cor-
porations, allowing them to revise
their affirmative action programs
to include a single officer.

Browning - Ferris and Harvest
Markets were notified in letters
from Price Commission Chairman
C. Jackson Grayson that they
would be unable to make any fu-1
ture price increases without com-1
mission approval. And both firms
must make monthly profit-margin:
reports to the commission until1
further notice.:
Both companies also have 151
days to advise the commission of.
of Phase 2
all price reductions they make,
of the impact of such reductions
and of the projected impact of the
reductions on the firms' cumula-
tive profit margin for the current
fiscal year.
"This action underscores the
determination of the Price Com-
mission in its fight against infla-
tion," Grayson said. "I urge all
companies to take action to en-
sure that they twill comply with
the profit-margin rule so that
similar action will not have to be
taken by the Price Commission or
the Internal Revenue Service."
