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 SGC Votes 4o Suspend 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 certain leases being prepared by, 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. Research protesters- 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. .

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.

The suspension stemmed from an incident at Forsythe following Vanderhorst's printing of a flyer. The flyer stated that she would no longer be in charge of the Black for the Laos invasion. In South Vietnam, the m a j o r support base of Khe Sanh was shelled for the third night in a row by two artillery barrages. Khe Sanh is the key supply and heli- copter center for the Laos invasion. Meanwhile, New Zealand Prime Minister Sir Keith Holyoake said yesterday New Zealand will with- draw its 131-man artillery battery from South Vietnam at the begin- nings of May. The.unit was sent to Vietnam in 1965. South Vietnamese headquarters and Pentagon spokesmen insisted that the pullbacks were tactical. A Pentagon spokesman labeled it "mobile maneuvering". Gen. William Westmoreland, Ar- my chief of staff, said yesterday he "wouldn't categorize as retreat" the withdrawals of South Vietna- mese troops from their Laos bases. Rather, he said, it was a "readjust- ment of troops." But the pilots did not support this explanation as they reported that the fighting was severe in some areas. The heaviest fighting raged around Brown, one of the bases the South Vietnamese First Infantry division had planned to use for raids southward against branches See S.

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.
