COUZENS EXTENSION:
Lloyd
votes
opposition
to construction project
By KAREN TINKLENBERG
In a referendum Tuesday.
residents of Alice Lloyd Hall
voted almost unanimously to
record their opposition to the
Housing Policy Committee's
p 1 a n . to consolidate dining
facilities between Lloyd and
nearby Couzens Hall.
According, to the plan, Couzens
dining and kitchen facilities would
be expanded and a structure would.
be built to allow indoor passage
between the two dormitories.
Student opposition to the con-
struction plans had been expressed
earlier at a Nov. 10 meeting, and
341 signatures were collected on a
petition opposing the plans. About
60 per cent of the 600 Lloyd resi-
dents voted on the issue, with al-
most 99 per cent of them voting
against the kitchen plan.k
The proposed plan recommends
an estimated $393,000 expenditure,
with $150,000 to be used for build-
ing improvements at Alice Lloyd
and the remaining $243,000 for
the new dining facilities and con-
nection.
According to Tom Lobe, Lloyds
building director, many students
feel that the money could be used
more wisely to make building im-
provements.
Lobe cites the large number of
small triple rooms in Lloyd, the
total lack of lounges beyond the
main floor, the use of eight of the
sixteen ironing rooms for student
living quarters, and the absence of
guest and study rooms as major
concerns.
A spokesman from the Office of
Housing has responded that an
estimated $55,000 will be saved
each year in operating costs and
that Lloyd's "only realistic hope

WASHINGTON (R) - Supreme Court Justice William
Douglas yesterday ordered a halt to all draft inductions in
the Los Angeles area until a federal district court rules on an
alleged loophole in the 1971 Selective Service Act.
Douglas granted an application filed by the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in behalf of men facing induc-
tion before the end of the year. The suit charges that a pro-
vision in the draft law bars all inductions until 90 days after
the law takes effect unless the President or the Senate de-
clare a state of war or national emergency.
Attorney for the draftees argue that the provision should
have barred all inductions before Dec. 28.
Selective Service spokesmen said they would not seek
review by the full Supreme Court -
of Douglas' induction stay order;
but a spokesman said s'milar O jL
"loophole" challenges in various H ouse
federal courts could eventually
throw the whole case into the Su-

Linda Jenness (left), of Pembroke, Ga., Socialist Workers Party candidate for President, gestures
at a press conference in Boston yesterday as an unidentified aide studies the audience. Jenness, 30,
a graduate of Antioch College, said she plans to file to run for the presidency next year in 33 states.
A spokesman said Selective Ser-
vice did not believe the 1948 delay
clause had any further legal ef-
fect; but if the courts say it does,
such a decision could affect tens
of thousands of men drafted after
Sept. 28-"It would create quite
a messy situation", said one draft
source.
Douglas' order alone could
bring on a snowballing effect that
could snarl December inductions.
Several federal judges have al-
ready barred inductions in their
areas pending tests of the draft
law. Others may now find them-
selves under new pressure to de-
lay inductions that might later
prove illegal.

Robert Williams, black separatist
and former University faculty
member, has been cited for con-
tempt of Congress by the Senate
Judiciary Committee for his failure
to testify before the House Internal
Security Committee (HISC).
The censure, the Detroit Free
Press reported yesterday, could
result in prosecution by the Jus-
tice Department if approved by the
Senate. The maximum prison sen-
tence for Williams, who spent eight
years in exile in Cuba and China,
would be five years.
