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 Campus and of 150,000 square} feet of building floor space on the property. Also revealed yesterday was the> possibility of an accompanying gifts from McDonnell of $330,000 in office and laboratory equipment now in the buildings provided that the owners of the land, Research Properties Co. of Birmingham, approve any agreement between McDonnell and the University.

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.

Janveja explained that the new installations include a large re- servoir system that will hold 10 . to 15 minutes of maximum rain- fall. "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. Constuction centering around Hangar 2, where Universal A i r- lines is located, was Phase 1 of a two-part operation. This first phase, which was completed Jan 15 and is now undergoing test ing, cost $300,000, Pangburn said Phase 2 will involve further con- sti uction connecting the newly installed system at Hangar 2 to for g!(ovts. 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 ulate formation of prepaid, grour practice arrangements known as See NIXON, Page 10 < Aim Arbor By MARK DILLEN 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. Bond for the five people who were eventually charged in con- nection with the police raids varied. Three charged with either saeof LSD or marijuana were 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. In addition, charges against two See POLICE, Page 10 By ART LERNER 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.
