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 .A . inductions barred pending draft decision. 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- preme Court. r -Associated Press Hail from the Chief President Nixon applauds National 4-H Club award winners in Chicago yesterday.

NIXON THREA TENS VETO: Mills says Congress won change taiX 1 -Associated Press Socialist presidential candidate 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. jShortly after Douglas issued his - or eontempt 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.

WASHINGTON (A) - The United States announced yester- day that it is cutting off arms shipments to India.

Some existing licenses also have been canceled, he said. These have a value of $2 million for arms a n d ammunition components, tools and machinery directly re- lated to ammunition production. Also included are small quantities of ammunition, he said.
