The measure includes a provision authorizing President Nixon to drop undergraduate student deferments starting with those students entering college this fall. Oher provisions of the draft bill include a $2.4 billion military pay raise, extension of procedural rights of draftees before their local boards, and limitation of inductions to 130,000 this year and 140,000 next year.1 Passage of the bill by a vote of 55 to 30 came with sur- prising suddenness after the Senate by just one vote had invoked its antifilibuster rule W T Ci _to limit debate on the meas--} limited changes research in U, U~s.steps u ra ids on Viet north SAIGON (A)-An armada of 2501 U.S. planes swarmed over North Vietnam Tuesday and delivered! one of the heaviest raids in the North in the past three years.

In a report released yesterday, the Senate Assembly's Research Policies Committee said there was "no compelling evidence" justify- ing the complete elimination of the University's $5.5 million of secret research contracts, but cri- ticized current procedures for ap- proving such contracts. The "tightened" procedures, if adopted, would make public more information about current classi- fied projects and institute regular review of procedures and con- tracts. Assembly, the faculty reuresent- ative body, asked the Research Policies Committee to undertake the investigation last March, fol- lowing heated debate among stu- dents and faculty over the proprie- ty of "war-oriented" research on campus, especially Department of Defense-sponsored classified re- search. Though Assembly defeated a motion which would have ended University classified research, a compromise measure passed, or- dering "recommendations for ac- tion." ' The following proposals will be nresented to Assembly next Mon- day- " Although the Research Poli- cies Committee continues to find classified research acceptable,( considration of requests for such projects would be "more string- pnt." The Committee suggests al- tering the University guidelines governing classified research to exclude research whose "soecific purpose or clearly foreseeable re- sults are injurious to human life or welfare." Previously. this three-year old guideline barred only research when Assembly's Classified Re- search Commitete, (CRC) thought the "specific purpose" of the re- search was the destruction of hu- man life or the incapacitation of human beings. It was the streng- thening of such guidelines that was sought by many oponents of classified research last spring be- cause they felt the 12-man CRC could not discern the "specific purpose" of a project.

This would "assure the Univer- sity community" that research deemed appropriate in pre-con- tract proposals actually remained that way after CRC approval. * Forms describing the pre- cise nature of unclassified portions of research contracts would be made public following approval by CRC. The absence of classified details would be noted in these "pre-pro- nosal summary forms and work statements." These forms would See COMMITTEE, Page 9 1 -Daily-Tom Gottlieb A HOUSE at the corner of E. University and S. University Streets will be the site of Trotter House, the University's new black stu- dent-community center. Black student activity center to open at'U By JOHN MITCHELL A long-awaited center for black student services and activities, the William Trotter house, opens this fall on cam- pus, about one and a half years after the Black Action Movement strike in Spring, 1970. The fifteen room facility, financed through a grant from the University's Martin Luther King Scholarship Fund, will answer several needs, according to Assistant Vice President for Student Services Charles Kidd. "Black students have lacked a central location for hold- ing and finding out about social and cultural events relevant to their special interests, Kidd explains, "and our infor- mational and financial ser-N1 h w vices to blacks are not being used to capacity." 0 QTS S 1V or three planes. The supersonic jets flew through anti-aircraft fire to bomb surface to air, or Sam, missile and gun sites, supply depots and truck parks in a six-hour attack from daybreak to noon. The U.S. Command said fighter- bombers launched 200 bombing strikes in North Vietnam's south-! ern panhandle, concentrating on an area from the demilitarized zone to about 35 miles north of it. About 50 other aircraft supported the strikes. These included jet fighters flying protective cover, electronic planes to jam the radar guidance systems of anti-aircraft guns and Sam missiles, rescue planes and helicopters, and recon- naissance planes to take photos of bomb damage. The U.S. Command said none of the American planes was hit, all returning safely to their bases in South Vietnam and Thailand. No assessment of damage to the North Vietnamese positions was readily available, the command added. Pilots reported light to moderpte anti-aircraft fire but said they en- countered no Sam missiles. A large North Vietnamese troop and supply buildup has been re- ported recently just north of the DMZ. 1 Moreover, South Vietnamese field commanders say that more than half of the 15,000 to 18,000 North Vietnamese troops once deployed in the region immediately below the DMZ have pulled back. A new effort is expected now to attach that proposal to the $21- billion military procurement auth- 'orization bill, on w h i c h t h e Senate resumed debate following passage of the.draft measure. The end of the draft debate, which has occupied more than half of the Senate's time since early May, came within minutes after proponents of the draft measure succeeded by the barest of margins 61 to 30 in mustering the two-thirds vote needed to limit further debate. One of the defeated leaders of the campaign to delay the draft, Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), said after the vote the Senate's action will plunge the issue into the 1972 presidential campaign and could bring out millions of young voters against President Nixon.

Other law enforcement officers said Jackson c o u 1 d have been struck first by a bullet to his left ankle. As he fell, with his head lower than his torso, they theor- ized the second bullet could have entered his back from the rear. Cooke said no conclusion had been reached about the position of the body but "if he was flat on the ground he could have been shot that way through the back." In the final autopsy report re- leased by Cooke, pathologist John Manwaring said: "Ballistic con- sultation confirms that the entry wound was located in the midback and the exit is through the top of the skull as clearly evidenced by, the outward coning of the skull on the calvarium," the domelike por- tion of the skull. Manwaring's report said the bullet entered at the bottom of the rib cage, twoaor three inches ,to the right of Jackson's midline. fractured several ribs as it plunged upward, lacerated the brain and exited slightly to the right on top of Jackson's skull. Cooke said his earlier report was "a preliminary, incomplete re- port." He added: "My primary task is to determine what killed a person. I haven't gone to San Quentin or attempted to recon- struct the scene. That's within the realm of the district attorney." Dist. Atty. Bruce Bales was un- available for comment. "By establishing satellite offices in this building," Kidd continues, "we hope to broaden our base of contact and reduce these prob- lems." Kidd also emphasized that the facility should not be construed as belonging to any single organ- ization but a resource for all black groups and individuals. A regental ruling in the spring of 1970 specifically stated that University funds could not be used for the establishment of a black center, but Robert Knauss, vice president for student services, ex- plains that this does not conflict with the present financing of the center. "The Martin Luther Scholarship fund was established after the Black Action Movement strike in 1970 from contributions of stu- dents, alumni and faculty and contains no general University funds," he says. "Besides," Knauss adds, "there has been a change in the nature and attitude of the regents since the spring of 1970, and I'm not entirely sure that a ruling for- See TROTTER, Page 9 discontinued By PAUL TRAVIS The Night Owl bus service, in- stituted two years ago during an increase in University security programs, is no longer in opera- tion. The night-time bus line was op- erated under Universityfinancing by the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (AATA). Its route cov- ered the University Hospital, the Michigan League, the Undergradu- ate Library, and Oxford Housing. Some students have voiced oppo- sition to the discontinuation. ' Rebecca Schenk, president of Student Government Council (SGC), said yesterday, "We will explore the possibility of re-instat- ing the Night Owl bus service if there is sufficient student backing for the idea. I feel that the can- cellation of the Night Owl in April without consultation with students was very unfair."
