The bill authorizes Nixon to order an end to deferments for col- lege undergraduates, effective with this year's entering freshman class. Regents leery of reviewing judiciary plan By ROBERT SCHREINER Several Regents contacted recently by Student Govern- ment Council have said they will not now consider revising the campus-wide judiciary system to meet Council's objec- tions to the plan, it was disclosed yesterday. SGC Member-at-Large Rick Higgins, who spoke to the Regents, predicted last night that Council will vote affirma- tively tomorrow to comply with "a list of administrative steps for implementing the system at the earliest possible date- most likely soon after the Regents meeting Oct. 21. "We had hopes of reaching a better settlement," Higgins The President has said in the past that he authority to end undergraduate deferments,; took no action on the measure yesterday. Nixon also froze until Nov. 13 a $2.4 billion raise included in the measure.

While the overall theme for the Oct. 30 weekend of Homecoming will be "Let's work together," the parade will center more specifical- ly on "Let's work together to bring the troops home now." Lois Murphy, a member of the local Student Mobilization Com- mittee (SMC) originally propos- ed the parade theme and collect- ed 1000 signatures from the stu- dent body to support her idea. With the endorsement of Stu- dent Government Council, the University Activities C o u n c il (UAC) Homecoming Committee adopted the proposal at a meeting earlier this week. Dave Gordon, leader of the local People's Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ) has plans that go beyond the parade, however. Gordon has proposed to band director George Cavender that the half-time- period of the Home- coming Michigan - Indiana foot- ball game be devoted to the anti- war theme as well. Suggesting that peace groups might perform in some way dur- ing half-time, Gordon has also presented three two-minute for- mations the band itself might try. One would have the band marching in the form of a neace symbol to the tune of "Where have all the Flowers Gone?" Mov-, ing to the second, the band would regroup into a field of crosses. playing "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again." The last formation would have the band in the shape of a dove playing "Give Peace a Chanee." Gordon suggested that ehoer- leaders accomoany the band's exit with "What do we want-PP~ce! When do wedwant it-Now!" a familiar chart of anti-war -dies. Cavender has sqid h- en1l re- lay these ideas to the band. ac- cording to Gordon; Ati-war srouos oressd for the theme of "Bring the troons home now" to relate to the "neace of- fensive" scheduled for the fall.

Nixon said he hoped this w be the last time a president w have to sign an extension ofc induction authority. said, "but something has to be done now. We just can't afford to wait any longer." Last Thursday, Council voted 6- 4 to refuse to comply with the steps outlined in a memo from the office of Richard Kennedy, secre- tary of the University, which per- tained to the adoption of the ju- diciary mechanism approved by the Regents last spring. Council's refusal to c o m p 1 y caused much concern, since the system cannot be put into effect without the cooperation of SGC; the Regents and Senate Assembly -the top faculty body. However, at the time of the re- fusal SGC President R e b e c c a Schenk said Council would make a final decision on whether to fol- low the steps-in effect, whether or not to accept the new judiciary -at a meeting tomorrow night. Meanwhile, she said, Council mem- bers would communicate their dis- satisfaction to the Regents, in the hope that they would alter several aspects of the plan. Higgins said he was able to con- tact five of the eight Regents. "I told them our objections, and they listened," Higgins said. "But each of them said they had al- ready compromised and that they considered the present plan to be " an acceptable one." The present system is a Regent- modified version of the original -raft drawn up by the Committee P on a Permanent Judiciary, a tri- dan partite group of students, faculty sch members and administrators. It mar provides for students to be tried had by a jury of their peers-six other last students-and includes six stu- dents on the 12-member Court of fille Appeals and one student on the ing three-member panel of judges. thr Council's objections deal mainly of with the Repents' modifications.

NA TURAL RESOURCES: cools curriculum reorganized By ART LERNER The natural resources school has "essentially completed" its broad reorganization which was planned for this fall, according to natural resource Prof. Steph- en Preston. The faculty decided last spring to revamp the school's entire internal structure and under- graduate curriculum in an effort to make its course offerings more responsive to the rapidly chang- ing environmental field, accord- ing to James McFadden, natural resources dean. Following recommendations by a committee of four students, four faculty members and Mc- Fadden, the school dissolved its traditional departmental struc- ture July 1, and also set up a new "more flexible" undergrad- uate program. Instead of four independent departments there are now three broad discipline areas from which representation to the school's executive committee will be drawn. Previously faculty were re- stricted to four departmental units: forestry; landscape archi- tecture; resource planning and conservation; and wildlife and fisheries. ..WProf. Preston A MENDMENTS EXPECTED Reaction to research vote guarded The new discipline areas are: biological and physical sciences; resource policy planning, man- agement and administration; and environmental design. Most faculty members seem happy with the change in struc- ture which eliminates distinct departmental units. "I generally approve of the changes," resource ecology Prof. Justin Leonard says. "Separate departments in such a small school were silly." The new faculty structure erases the boundaries between departments and allows more flexibility for staff members, Preston adds. Although wood science and technology Prof. Glenn Bruneau has "terribly mixed feelings about the changes since the re- organization," he welcomes the new "opportunities" he feels are open to him now. "I'm talking to people I never talked to before-a resource mix within our own school which is I healthy," Bruneau says. "I'm involved in some new areas that are making me do some catching up," he adds. "I've never worked so hard in my life." John Luton, grad, says reorg- anization "has allowed me to go into biometry, and other students into other out of the way things, to build a better curriculum." See NAT., Page 8 To our readers A new section in The Daily will review the major news of the University conimunity at the end of each month. See to- morrow's Daily for "Retrospect -the month in review." The primary alterations called for by Council are a change in the required jury verdict in determi- nation of guilt from the present five out of six to unanimity; giv- ing the student and faculty associ- ate judges power equal to the pre- siding judge in deciding "points of law" in the courtroom; and per- mitting Council to directly ap- point six students to the Court of Appeals, rather than have nomi- nees screened and chosen by the Regents. Higgins saidnthe Regents em- phasized thG new judiciary sys- tem, when finally put into effect, will operate on a temporary basis for' one year, at which time it is subject to review. "They seemed to be saying that if our objections are borne out over the year in the way the mechanism operates, that they will take them under considera- iton," Higgins explained. mer bla bus: anc this T $25 is t Pon wer bers beix inci A ant tion she bon N cess to cur mer P lea spot ing.

By TED STEIN Reactions were cautious yester- day in the wake of a vote Monday by Senate Assembly indicating op- position to most classified research at the University. Assembly, the faculty represen- tative body, voted 31-15 to sub- stitute a resolution-which stated that the University as a general policy would not accept classified research - f o r recommendations proposed by Assembly's Research Policies Committee (RPC).1 The RPC recommendations urgel continuation of classified researchc with some procedural modifica- tions. T h e Schuman resolution would prohibit most classified re- search, although a review com-I mittee would rule on possible ex-I ceptions.I Supporters of the resolution, proposed by sociology Prof. How-f Those who expressed dissatisfac- tion over the resolution were re- luctant to comment on Monday's outcome, but hinted that the res- olution would be a m e n d e d in; future Assembly discussion. Georgraphy Prof. George Kish, the chairman of the Classified R e s e a r c h Committee (CRC), which now reviews proposals for secret research, said "there will be a number of amendments to the der which classified research will be accepted"I Kish refused to comment on theI resolution itself, saying "it would be premature to comment until the resolution is in its final form." Prof. Isadore Bernstein, chair- man of RPC, responded that "pro- cedurally, the issue has not yet been decided".
