From Wire Service Reports
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Testimony begins today in the
trial of Black Panther Party Chairman Bobby Seale and
local party leader Ericka Huggins.
Seale and Huggins are charged with murder, kidnaping
resulting in murder, and conspiracy to commit both these
crimes in the May, 1968 shooting of Alex Rackley.
Police charge that Rackley, who was working with the
Panthers in New York, was executed on orders from Seale
because Rackley was believed to be a police informer.
If Seale and Huggins are convicted on the murder charge
hey could both face the death penalty.
Besides Seale and Huggins, only

SDS status
By ART LERNER
Student Government C o u n c i l
voted last night to withdraw recog-
nition from Students for a Demo-
cratic Society (SDS), presently de-
funct, as a student organization
until a $200 fine imposed on the
radical group by Central Student
Judiciary (CSJ) last November is
*aid.-
The motion, passed by a six to
three vote after a heated argu-
ment among SGC members, states
that SGC will not recognize any
"successor" organization to SDS,
which incorporates the same indi-
viduals convicted ofdisrupting re-
Aruiting interviews in the West
Engineering Bldg. last Janury.
However, the motion provides
that a new organization using the
name SDS could appear before
CSJ to seek a ruling that it was not
a "successor" organization to the
*onvicted SDS organization.
In other action, SGC allocated
$1,000 for partial support of a
Tenants Union suit to bring about
a declaratory judgment against

the Ann Arbor landlords.
JU dge
two of the 14 defendants arrested
in the case remain to be tried. Six
persons pleaded guilty to reduced
charges, two cases were handled
in juvenile court, charges were
dropped against another and Pan-
ther Lonnie McLucas was convicted
of conspiracy to murder and sen-
tenced to 12 to 15 years in jail.
McLucas was acquitted of three
more serious charges.
The principal witness for the
state, Panther George Sams,
charges that Seale gave him orders
to have Rackley killed. In return
for testifying for the State and
admitting that he was a principal
figure in the killing, Sams has been
allowed to plead guilty to a lesser
charge of second degree murder.
The Panthers and their adherents
maintain that the defendants in the
Rackley slaying are being prose-
cuted for their political beliefs and
that the victim's death was con-
ceived and carried out by Sams.
The Panthers claim Sams was
working for the police.
Theodore Koskoff, chief defense
attorney at the McLucas trial,
commented on the political nature'
of the trials in a Yale University'
law school student publication.
"The Seale trial is more political
than the McLucas trial," he said,
because "the further away you get
from the guy that pulled the trig-'
ge, the more political the motiva-
tion seems to be."
Since being arrested in Califor-
nia on the Rackley charges in Au-
guest, 1969, Seale has been in pri-
son with his bail denied.

map plans
By ZACHARY SCHILLER
At a meeting to decide what
should be done to end military
and classified research on
campus, students and faculty
members . approved the Stu-
dent Government Council pro-
posal calling for an end to all
such research.
The SGC proposal also demands
the end of all research that is
funded by the Department of De-
fense and the establishment of a
committee including both under-
graduates and graduates to scru-
tinize research proposals.
The meeting, attended by about
30 people, was called last night
after the Senate Assembly heard
debate on the research question'
but adjourned before taking any
action.
The participants in the meeting
also approved the scheduling of a
Diag rally at 2:00 p.m. Monday,
from where opponents of classified;
and military research would march
around the campus before going to
a 3:15 p.m. meeting of the Assem-
bly, which will act on the research
question.
After the Assembly takes action
on proposals by SGC, medical Prof.
Donald Rucknagel and member of
the classified research committee
Michael Knox-which oppose con-
tinuation of military or classified
research-demonstrators will hold
a mass meeting to decide what fur-
ther action to take.

By The Associated Press
South Vietnamese troops were forced to further retreat
in Laos again yesterday, American pilots reported.
The pilots also confirmed that Landing Zone Brown, an
important base 14 miles from the Vietnamese frontier was
doomed as North Vietnamese gunners rained artillery, mortar
and rocket fire on the base.
They further said that the South Vietnamese have aband-
oned two of their four fire bases south of Highway 9, the
main. Laos invasion route, and have fallen back 15 miles to the
south over the past few days.
In South Vietnam, the major support base of Khe Sanh
was shelled for the third night in a row by two artillery

he "wouldn't categorize as retreat"

Rather, he said, it was a "readjust-

Debate set
on Course
Mart rules,
By GERI SPRUNG
The LSA Course Mart- Commit-
tee will introduce a list of proposed
revisions in Course Mart proce-
dures at an open hearing today.
The substantial revisions, ac-
cording to committee member psy-
chology Prof. Ronald Tikofsky,
stem from the recent controversy
surrounding College Course. 327,
a Course Mart course in political
action.
The controversy developed at
the start of the term when the
LSA curriculum committee
charged there were certain "dis-
crepancies" between the course as
it had been approved and the
course as it was being advertised
in leaflets and in The Daily.
As a result, the Course Mart
Committee deleted six sections of
the course three weeks into the
term. Later, after members of the
course protested, and while the
LSA executive committee was in-
vestigating the issue, the commit-
tee reinstated the sections.
Included in the proposed
changes are limitations on adver-
tising Course Mart courses.
Course Mart courses will be
publicized by the Course Mart
Committee t h r o u g h advertise-
ments in The Daily. Any addi-
tional publicity pertaining to a
College Course must be approved
