Opening its weekend convention last night, Ann Arbor's new
radical party voted to add a fourth day to the convention, giving party
members a week to caucus before nominating candidates for the April
city elections.
Although the meetings were previously scheduled to end tomorrow
night, an alternative agenda was accepted. About 75 people attended

The new agenda postpones the choice of party officers and can-
didates for city office until next Saturday.

approved continuation of ne-
gotiations between the Uni-
versity and McDonnell Doug-

transfer to the University of
McDonnell's lease on the Con-
ductron Corp. property.
In other action the Regents ap-
proved plans for a new sports
service building; tabled permission
for student-run WCBN to apply
for an FM license; decided to paya
the Ann Arbor school board an
assessment in lieu of propertyh
taxes for Northwood apartment
residents; and gave final approval
to a University branch of county'
legal aid service.
The Conductron property agree-
ment, which would not take effect
earlier than March 1, would result
in the University's leasing 63
acres of land adjacent to North

feet of building floor space on
the property.

WASHINGTON (R) - In his third State of the Union
Address, President Nixon last night asked Congress to share
$16 billion a year in federal revenues with state and local
governments and to guarantee medical care for the poor.
In his 4,600-word prepared address to a joint Senate-
House session and to the nation by radio-television broadcast,
Nixon also recommended that the present 12 Cabinet de-
partments be cut to eight for reasons of efficiency and
economy.
Nixon said he planned to leave the Departments of State,
Treasury, Defense and Justice as they are, consolidating the
others into Departments of Human Resources, Community

Janveja explained that the new
installations include a large re-

"The theory is that all fuels and
oil on the field will wash off in the
first movements of any big storm
and end up in the reservoir instead
of the creek," Janveja said.
The water collected in the reser-
voir will go through the regular
separator process, he said.
"In this way, no polluted water
should get into Willow Run
Creek," said Willow Run Man-
ager Robert Pangburn.

tainty.
As for the three other goals.
Nixon called for prompt enactment
of his long-§talled welfare reform
system and other sidetracked ad-
ministration bills; he promised to
stimulate the economy through
deficit spending, and said he later
will propose "a strong new set of
initiatives to clean up our air and
water, to combat noise and to
preserve and restore our surround-
ings."
Nixon described his revenue-
sharing plan as "historic in scope
and bold in concept,"
If Congress goes along, it will
operate in two sectionsd:
-Some $5 billion w o u l d be
transferred from the f e d e r a 1
Treasury to state and local gov-
ernments "to be used as the states
and localities see fit." This would
all be new money and no strings
would be attached;
-An additional $11 billion
would be provided for six broad
purposes-urban development, ru-
ral development, education, trans-
portation, job training and law
enforcement, "but with the state
and localities making their own
decisions on how it should be
spent."
Of the $11 billion, $1 billion
would represent new money and
the remaining $10 billion would
be provided by "converting one-
third of the money going to the
present narrow-purpose aid pro-
grams." He did not specify which
ones.
Under present law, states and
localities in most cases must match
grants of federal aid. Under the
Nixon plan, there would be no
matching requirement whatever,
allowing lower levels of govern-'
ment to use the savings in other'
ways.
Though Nixon gave no details
on his forthcoming national
health care package, he said his
aim will be to "insure that no
American family will be prevented
from obtaining basic medical care
by inability to pay."
However, administration sources
have said the package will include
a government-subsidized "family
insurance plan," using private car-
riers to replace Medicaid; catas-
trophe insurance, providing gov-
ernment coverage of the costs of
a major illness not met by private
plans; and incentives in all gov
ernment health programs to stim

Daily News Analysis
When state and Ann Arbor Po-
lice conducted a drug raid on
three local dwellings Tuesday,
residents were jolted by more than
just the charges and high bails
levied against their peers-the in-
cident effectively immobilized a
major community underground
newspaper, the Ann Arbor Argus.
Now, two days after the raid,
the community appears to have
recovered from its initial shock
and has been applying pressure
on the police and courts, calling
attention to alleged police mis-
conduct and excessive bails.
Witnesses to both the Ann Ar-
bor Argus house's raid and that of
another home earlier Tuesday,
1101 Church St., said police went
beyond the limits of the individual
warrants they had, searching en-
tire houses and confiscating per-
sonal effect and various financial
records of the Argus.
However, Ann Arbor Police
Chief Walter Krasny earlier said
there was "nothing improper"
about the officer's conduct. Ex-
plaining the confiscation of per-
sonal items, Krasny said several
articles are temporarily being held
as evidence.
City Detective Sgt. Calvin Hicks
added that all materials not deter-
mined as evidence would be re-
turned within a few days.
Some of the confiscated articles
were released on Thursday, after
local A m e r i c a n Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) members argued
the youths' case to Mayor Robert
Harris and Krasny.
Philosophy Prof. Carl Cohen,
representing the ACLU, effected
the return of several Argus mate-
rials-including the financial rec-
ords-needed to operate the paper.
Cohen also secured a list, though
incomplete, of soe other articles
taken during the raids.

given a $7,500 bond for each of-
fense. However the other two ar-
rested, also for sale of LSD, had
bond set at $10,000 apiece. The
bond was later reduced to half.

The University is nearing the
final stages of construction at
Willow Run Airport in an effort
to end oil and fuel pollution of
Willow Run Creek, which runs by
the University-managed airfield.
Pollution charges were leveled
athe University last January by
Wayne Denniston, a State Water
Resources Commission engineer.
According to Denniston, the pol-
lution problem arose when water
drainage from one of the hangers
at the airport, Hangar 2, ran off
into the creek causing an oil slick.
"Simply stated, the oil was get-
ting into the creek," Denniston
said, adding that "apparentlythe
drainage, problem existed for a
long time."
Jagdish Janveja, the University's
senior civil engineer, said t h a t
"oiling, washing and filling oper-
ations on the airfield and in the
hangars" also contributed to the
pollution.
The new construction at Willow
Run is designed to "separate the
oil, fuel and other pollutants from
MORE REPRESENTATION
GA pushes for greater voice
By BOB SCHREINER
For almost a year, the representative
body of the University's graduate students
has sought to increase its own representa-
tion and influence in University decision
making.
With this goal in mind, Graduate Assem-
bly (GA) is seeking representation on Uni-
versity committees with student member-
ship that would "more accurately reflect"
the proportion of graduate students on
campus, and is asking to be consulted in all
committai nmnointments involvino radu-
month" over the last ten months concern-
ing the question of representation.
Fleming said last night he had received
communications from GA asking that GA
be given the right to appoint graduate stu-
dents to University committees seatng
students. "I replied that this was an ap-
propriate issue to raise with the faculty
and students," Fleming said.
