American and North Vietnamese artillery dueled yester-

troops and heavy artillery.
The U.S. Command reported 15 "'enemy" soldiers were
killed and nine bunkers were destroyed by U.S. bombard-

between the North and South. A spokesman said two second-
ary explosions indicated hits on North Vietnam ammunition

The Student Government
Council Credentials and Rules
Board last night found SGC
presidential candidate B i l1
Thee in violation of the SGC
election code for exceeding the
$100 market value limit on
campaign expenses.
The board voted to impound all
campaign materials remaining in
Thee's possession and to enjoin
Thee and his supporters from ac-
quiring any additional campaign
materials.
The board also fined Thee $80.64
but it suspended $40.64 of the
fine.
The board also heard a complaint
last night from SGC candidate
Brad Taylor against The Daily for
allegedly misrepresenting t h e
status of an SGC candidate.
The hearing last night follow-
ed a preliminary hearing Thurs-
day night on the complaint, filed
by SGC member Marnie Heyn
against Thee.
The board found Thee's official
campaign expenditures amounted
to $140 - including $39 for ma-
terials which have not been used
- $40 above the $100 limit on
the fair market value of campaign
expenditures.
The board ruled that unused
materials in Thee's case should be
included in actual campaign ex-!
penses because they may have
been of value to Thee in planning
election strategy and because they
were made for a specific election.
The board ruled, however, that
'"since the unused material was not
of as much benefit as the material
that was used" the value of the
unused material was calculated at
two-thirds of its actual fair mar-
ket value.
Thee and his supporters spent
$120 on 500 silkscreen posters only
30 of which have been distributed.'
Thee said he had originally
planned to use the 500 silkscreen
posters but changed his mind after
receiving them.
It was only then, Thee said. that
he arranged for the production of

Chavez told a news conference
that UFWOC will seek immediate

negotiations with 75 Salinas Val-
ley growers who signed contracts
with the Teamsters last summer.
"The greatest problem we face
now is trying to get those growers
to talk with us. That is the key,"
Chavez told a crowd-filled hall in
the Salinas Labor Temple.
If they respond that they have
Teanster contracts, Chavez said,
"that means we are going to boy-
cott and strike this spring."
In Washington William L. Kirch-
er, AFL-CIO organizing director,
said the agreement provides that
Teamsters will drop any contracts
with lettuce growers covering field
workers. And Chavez said "it was
implied they would rescind their
contracts" in the Salinas Valley.
"If they try to hide behind the
Teamsters contracts and refuse to
drop them even though the Team-
sters ask them to, there could be
renewed boycotting," Kircher said.,
Teamsters officials were un-
available for comment.
The agreement, extending to,
March 31, 1973, calls for referring
a dispute first to the U.S. Roman
Catholic Bishops Committee on
Farm Labor.
If the committee fails to resolve
the issue, it will be referred to
Meany and Fitzsimmons and fin-
ally to arbitrators appointed by
them for "final and binding arbi-
tration."
Chavez said the UFWOC and
Teamsters leaders will start talks
next week on the toughest immed-
iate issue.
This is the Teamsters Union
contract with Bud Antle, Inc., one
of the nation's largest lettuce
growers. The Teamsters have held
a contract with Antle since 1961
covering about 1,500 workers.
The boycott in major cities has
been directed at Antle lettuce.
The Teamsters countered 1 a s t
month by refusing to handle in
major city terminals lettuce ship-
ped by growers with UFWOC con-
tracts.

3600 HONORED:
WSU's Keast views
value of convocation
By SARA FITZGERALD
Speaking at yesterday's Honors Convocation, William Keast, presi-
dent of Wayne State University, explored the value of holding such
convocations.
The 48th annual convocation at Hill Auditorium recognized nearly
3,600 undergraduates who compiled grade point averages of at least
3.5 over the past year.
"There is a prevailing mood of -pride and embarrassment at this
convocation," Keast said, "for we feel there is something anachronistic
about holding an honors convocation."
Apathy plagues LSA

With a scarcity of candidates and an in-
effective government, next week's LSA stu-
dent government election seems to be of
little significance to students.
The lack of candidates is perhaps the
most obvious indication of literary college
4tudents' disinterest in the election.

day and Wednesday will find only one slate

senting over 15,000 of the University's 38,000
students-was established after a referen-
dum last spring approved the idea. The
government's current officers and 10 execu-
tive council members were elected at that
time.
Since then, the LSA student government

According to Bridges, LSA government
also failed to obtain student support by fail-
ing to concentrate on specific academic
issues. He feels the government should focus
on issues it can deal with in order to in-
crease the credibility of the government.

democratic."
"And, it seems ironical," he
added, "that at a time when we
are trying to do away with prefer-
red status in education and hous-
ing, and are attempting to expose
and eliminate exclusion in our so-
ciety, we continue to set apart the
academically superior."
However, Keast said, an honors
convocation provides an ideal of
excellence which reminds people
what they can accomplish.
"We can break down barriers,"
Keast said, "yet we must still
know what is truly excellent."
IOnly then, Keast asserted, we
can strive for "an egalitariaism
of excellence" and "a universal

look at their awards as "a mea-
