Norman says that SACUA has scheduled a meeting with RPC to dis- cuss the report on Dec. 15, and that if the report is in adequate form it will be presented to the assembly at its Dec. 20 meeting. The assembly meeting date is after the December Regents' meeting, sched- uled for Dec. 16-17. The Regents, pre- sumably, will not act on the measure until receiving some sort of message on proprietary research from the assembly. Another reservation about the pro- posal, according to Norman, was that no decision has yet been made on the fu- ture of Willow Run Laboratories, the site of the vast majority of University classified research. researc Willow Run is now affiliated with the University, but Fleming has suggested that the labs could possibly be trans- ferred to the control of an independent, or perhaps state agency. Norman said the issue was "com- pletely up in the air," and that he would like to see some action taken on the labs before the Regents act on the proposal. "Under the circumstances," Norman said, "there is no sense in pressing the issue at this time." He said he wanted the resolution to receive "favorable con- ideration" from the Regents, and felt that the proposal was not ready for such consideration. Fleming said he saw the SACUA move as an attempt to "clarify the is- sue" and that the resolution is currently "not yet ready for consideration." The resolution will probably be con- proposal delayed sidered by the Regents in January, pro- vided that the report on proprietary research and some sort of proposal on Willow Run have been submitted. Sociology Prof. Leslie Kish, long an opponent of University classified re- search. disagreed with the move. "I don't think we should wait," he said. "The issues of classified and pro- prietary research should be treated as two separate issues." George Zissis, of the Willow Run Labs, said last night he thought the move would prove "worthwhile." He said he hoped SACUA and the assembly would not only consider pro- p.ietary research, but also consider sponsored research which is neither classified or proprietary. He said the results of such research are often se- verely limited as well.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi announced in India's Parliament that India has formally recognized the Bangla Desh rebels as East Pakistan's legal government. West Pakistan, meanwhile, disputed India's claims and in retaliation for its recognition of Bangla' Desh, broke off diplomatic relations with India for the first time since the countries became independent after World War II. The two countries had maintained diplomatic, ties during two previous wars. Meanwhile, the U.N. Security Council decided last night to hand over to the veto-free - General Assembly the job of Legislature iorityof,'U State retains power to channel some funds By SARA FITZGERALD In a long awaited decision, a circuit court judge ruled yesterday that the State Legislature cannot interfere with the constitutional authority of the Regents, though it can specify how state appropriations will be used by the Uni- versity. The ruling also struck down provisions of recent state appropriation acts which placed stipulations on the numbers and tuition rates of out-of-state students, faculty classroom hours, and the use of state money for faculty or students who have disrupted University operations. The ruling wil not necessarily change these policies- but their enforcement will now be left to the discretion of the University. Selections By GLORIA JANE SMITH Rackham Student Government (RSG) voted last night to post- pone their fall elections which had been previously scheduled for this month. Applications for candidacy must now be filed by Dec. 17, and the elections are scheduled for later In January. "We realized that it wouldn't be possible to mail ballots out in time to reach students before they left campus for the holidays," ex- plained, RSG Executive Council member Martha Arnold. RSG also faces the problem that only three Rackham students have applied for the twelve vacancies which need to be filled, Arnold ex- plained. The twelve positions to be voted on in January include eight one- year And two one-semester posi- tions on the RSG Executive Coun- cil as well as the chairman and vice chairman positions on RSG's Assembly. RSG was organized last spring following a dispute over the legit- imacy of the recently dissolved Graduate Assembly. A proposal to form RSG was approved in last spring's campus-wide elections. seeking a cease-fire in the, India-Pakistan conflict. The action came after the Soviet Union had, vetoed two cease-fire proposals, over the weekend and threatened to veto a third. In this vote, however, the Soviet Union abstained. In other developments, the House Appropriations Committee approved suspension of all U.S. foreign aid to India and Pakistan "until hostilities cease" or Presi- dent Nixon declares the aid- as' being in America's interest. The suspension was approved by a voice vote on the $2,84 bil- lion foreign aid bill, which also slashes America's United Nations contribution by $100 million, more than half. In the fighting, the Pakistani air force carried out new attacks deep inside India and along its borders. Anti-aircraft guns open- ed up in Bombay after radarmen reported a flight of Pakistani jets sweeping from the Arabian Sea. Hospital officials reported some 70 people wounded. A spokesman for India's East- ern Army reported advancing In- dian troops had captured the town of Feni, cutting a road and rail link between the capital of Dacca and the Port of Chittagong. In East Pakistan, the garrison town of Jessore was reporting to be receiving many Pakistani army wounded and dead soldiers. The Indians claim 52 Pakistani combat planes have been lost while India's air force reports losing 39. India also claims to have cut all air and sea routes between East and West Pakistan, which are separated by 1,000 miles of Indiana territory. 2 t 2 1 t t t I 1 1 (' -Daily-Terry McCarthy CENTRAL STUDENT JUDICIARY last night listens to the SGC case for the return of the $1,500 print co-op funds.

The original SGC motion, pass- ed in September, approved the allocation of money to the board for the purchase of equipment to enable an earlier opening of the Washtenaw County Print Co-op by the winter of 1971. However, SGC stipulated that the funds would be awarded af- ter the council received pay- ments from its student insurance programs to finance the allot- ment. Shortly thereafter, in an in- formal executive motion spon- aittempt P funds sored by former member Gold- man, SGC allocated $1,500 from an emergency fund to enable the print co-op to buy equipment. A check was given to Goldman with the understanding, according to SGC President Rebecca Schenck, that the immediate purchase of the equipment, to be made within the week, would save the co-op a great deal of money. In last night's hearing, SGC member Michael Davis charged that the original conditions for the allotment had not been met.. Machinery was not purchased at that time, and instead, the Washtenaw County Black Eco- nomic Development L e a g u e (BEDL) received the $1,500 sum from the American Revolution- ary Media (ARM) members of the Print Co-op board. BEDL's plan for a print opera- tion allows no student input as was SGC's original understand- ing of the Print Co-op Board's proposal. At a SGC meeting, ARM member Goldman returned a $1,500 check and resigned from her council seat. Shortly after, however, when George DePue of The decision, handed down by Ingham County Circuit Judge Marvin Salmon, temporarily re- solved a four-year-old case in which the University, along with Michigan State and Wayne State Universities had sought clarifica- tion of their powers in relation to the Legislature and the State Board of Education. However, Assistant Attorney General Eugene Krasicky, repre- senting' the board and the attor- ney general's office, has indicated he will file an appeal - a process that could take another two years. Salmon did rule that the Legis- lature can control funds for capi- tal outlay, or building construc- tion. He also said that while the governing boards "have the exclu- sive right to control and direct ex- penditures of their institution's funds, the Legislature "can impose the conditions that state money be used for a specific purpose." Such restrictions, however, may "not interfere with the boards' constitutional authority to super- vise" the Universities. Salmon also ruled the Board of Education's role was limited to an "advisory" one in respect to new programs at universities - such as the question of expansion of the University's Dearborn Campus to a four-year institution.

The councilmen, by a uanimous vote, passed a resolution which gives all state certified third par- ties the power to name candidates for the April election in a ,party caucus to be held prior to the February primary vote. The measure simply provides local affirmation to a state law which has the same provisions. HR-RIP, however, will not be placed on the ballot unless the party's recent petition drive is ap- proved by the state-thus officially making HR-RIP a state certified party. Certification is expected shortly, according to a HR-RIP spokesman. PROBE complaint: New problem for 'U' By PAT BAUER Last January, when the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare con- fronted the University with the cutoff of $350,000 in federal funds and the possibility of withholding $3.5 million more. the University finalized an af- firmative action program for increased hiring of women. The plan was lauded by President In a 30-page complaint filed in mid- November, PROBE, a group of Univer- sity women, charged the University with: -Having inadequate complaint pro- cedures foi employe grievances con- cerning sex discrimination; -Failing to provide any back pay- ment of wages to victims of sex dis- crimination. although the University University pending correction of the alleged inequities. President Robben Fleming has denied all of PROBE'S allegations, calling them "untrue" and "unfair." But the University Women's Com- mission, itself established by the Uni- versity last spring as part of the af- firmative action program, agrees with most of the PROBE complaint. Youth voter meeting fails to reach goals By CARLA RAPOPORT Daily News Analysis Initiated with the hopes for a national youth party and at- tracting more than 3,000 college students, the Emergency Confer- ence for Young Voters limped out of Chicago Sunday - a victim of heavy factionalism and confusion. The conference had sought to bring young voters together, to study ways of reforming the political parties and form a nation- wide youth pressure group, according to the small group of young liberals who organized it. v.
