Anti-war groups prep are Washington protests By RUSS GARLAND The major thrust of the spring anti-war offensive is scheduled to begin in Wash- ington next week with a series of demon- strations which organizers expect will at- a tract more massive support than the March on Washington of Nov. 15, 1969. From April 19 to 23 at least 5,000 Viet- nam veterans are expected to encamp in the Washington area and conduct a series of actions to protest the war. On April 23 they plan to collect their military medals j and deposit them on the steps of the Capi- tol. On April 24, the National Peace Action Coalition (NPAC) and the People's Coa- lition for Peace and Justice are co-spon- soring a march on Washington. Following this march and running until April 30, the 4'People's Coalition will conduct a People's Lobby at various federal office buildings. On May 2 the May Day program begins with a mass rally in Washington. On May 3 and 4 regional groups from around the country will carry out non-violent disrup- tion at various target areas in Washing- ton aimed at shutting the government down. Finally on May 5 there will be a "moratorium on business as usual" with demonstrations across the country and in Washington. Locally, campus and community groups are organizing support for the demonstra- tions and arranging transportation for peo- ple who wish to attend. Student Mobiliza- tion Committee has chartered buses to go to the April 24 demonstrations. However, they say they are getting a better response from high school students and community people as most University students have exams at this time. University President Robben Fleming has denied a Student Mobilization request that those students who missed exams by attending the April 24 demonstration be al- lowed to make them up at an alternate day. He said he was "sympathetic to the problem but thought the matter should be left to resolution by each individual stu- dent and his instructor. Sponsoring the May Day demonstrations are the People's Coalition and the May Day Tribe. The Tribe represents the stu- dent-youth faction to the People's Peace treaty movement. A Student - Youth Conference on the Peace Treaty, held last Feb. 5-7 at the University, voted to endorse the May Day scenario and has since provided continual support for it through its national Con- tinuations Committee. Acceptance of the Peace Treaty by the U.S. government is one of the central de- mands of the spring offensive. The Treaty was negotiated with repre- sentatives of the people of North and South Vietnam in North Vietnam by a delegation from the National Student Association. The treaty calls for immediate American with- drawal from Vietnam. Since the Peace Treaty Conference the treaty has been cir- culated to individuals and organizations around the country. Other demands of the spring offensive are a guaranteed income of $6,500 for a family of four, and the freeing of all po- litical prisoners in the United States. The last two demands represent a sig- nificant new alliance within the anti-war movement. Organizers emphasize that this is the first time blacks and other third world people's have united behind the anti- war movement. Further, this is the first time that the anti-war movement has ad- dressed itself to concerns other than sim- ply ending the Vietnam war.

CITE LOCAL ISSUES: Groups form county G en environmental oard By MARK DILLEN The battle between the Uni- versity and the state govern- ment over the size of the state's appropriation to t h i s campus for the 1971-72 fiscal year will enter its critical stages over the next t h r e e months. Sometime in May, the Legisla- ture is expected to begin active consideration of Gov. William Milliken's Higher Education Ap- propriations Bill, which propos- es that the University be given the smallest annual increase it has ever received. Expecting that the actual allo- cation will far from cover t h e projected expenditures from t h e University's general fund, the Re- gents' plan to approve a consider- able tuition increase at t h e i r meeting today. According to state law, the Re- gents must announce the exact amount of their increase today. Many administrators fear that an- nouncing a large increase in tui- tion now will hurt chances for get- ting an increase in state appropri- tions over the amount requested by' Milliken. In the past, they say, legislators have interpreted tuition increases as being sufficient to meet new needs not provided by increased state allocations. In other words, a large tuition increase would tend: to make the University's financial picture look far better to some leg- islators than it really is. For University administrators and state legislators, summer is the season for thrashing out a bud- get for the coming fiscal year. This summer promises to be no excep- tion, offering the prospect of an unusually prolonged and involved debate over the state's finances. Every year, following the gover- nor's budget message, usually pre-, sented in January or February, the state legislators begin consider- ing how much money they will give state agencies when their bud- gets expire in July. Each agency or division-including the Univer- sity-is notified of the governor's proposed breakdown of allocations, See 'U', Page 12 By ROBERT SCHREINER Over 250 persons participated in an open forum yesterday debating how the University should vote its 29,000 shares of General Motors (GM) stock at the company's annual meeting in May. The University's Committee on Communications present- ed a panel, of speakers, including representatives from Brain Mistrust, Campaign GM, ENACT, General Motors, -the Pro- testant Episcopal Church and Senate Assembly. Specifically, spokesmen at the forum dealt with whether or not the University should vote along the lines recom- mended by the company's management, as it has always done in the past, or if it should cast its approximately 29,000 votes in favor of three proposals -Daily--Gary MEMBERS of the Brain Mistrust (left), a radical research organization, confront General Vice President Roger Smith over the organization's policies at an open forum here yesterd forum was held as a prelude to a regental decision on how to vote the University's shares corporation. CHEM CONTROVERSY: Policis By JIM IRWIN A number of concerned groups and individuals have recently *formed a coalition called the Washtenaw Environmental Coun- cil for the protection and im- provement of the environment. Leaders and members hope the organization will become a ina- jor force in coordinating com- munity effort for environmental action. The council hopes to get away from the duplication of time and effort both in studying particu- lar problems and establishing a political voice. According to natural resources Prof. William Stapp, in the past various area agencies concerned with environment, found their ef- forts overlapping, especially on problems of community growth. Stapp, acting chairmangofwthe coalition, says the organization has two main objectives. The first, Stapp says, is to fa- cilitate communication among the various organizations and in- dividuals and thereby gain a much broader perspective on particular environmental prob- lems. "Thorough study of most en- vironmental problems require wide consideration of social, technological, economic, and po- litical as well as ecological as- pects.

Near the end of the forum, some students called for a mass rally today on the diag leading to a noon march to the Administration Build- ing. Leaflets publicizing the rally viliani and march were distributed on the Motors Diag. There were indications that lay. The a disruption of the regents' meet- in the ing may occur. Despite the possibility of a dis- ruption, Col. Frederick Davids, University Safety Director, said yesterday, "I don't think we'll lock it (the Administration Building)". All eight regents and President Robben Fleming were seated among the audience in the Union Ballroom, as were several top Uni- versity financial administrators. The forum came as a prelude to the Regents' open meeting this morning, where action on the mat- ter should be taken. Fleming said after the meeting yesterday that f the type he had no idea what the regents he said. would do this morning on the ques- il that he tion of voting the GM stock, but self avail- said they will make a definite de- h in his of- cision, since the GM meeting comes orbits the before the next scheduled regents our to help meeting. individual In response to charges that GM 1. is promoting racism in South Af- udents, feel rica and promoting the U.S. warl instructors effort in Indochina through the pro- circulating duction of military weapons, Roger reinstate- Smith, GM vice president of fi- d have col- nance, said the company has in fact been "socially progressive" is will con- over the years. tions until He told the audience GM had no those who See 250, Page 12 Protesters donate war taX money By CHUCK WILBUR Over 50 people yesterday pre- sented representatives of local community groups with in o n e y they have refused to pay in fed- eral income and telephone taxes, to protest the war in Indochina. Liz Taylor, spokeswoman for Ann Arbor War Tax Counseling (AAWTC), the organization spon- soring the demonstration, spoke to the crowd assembled at the' Internal Revenue Service office. "The government callously I g- nores the needs of its citizens and instead spends our money to kill people, she said. "Because we cannot accept these priorities, some of us are refusing to pay a portion of our federal income tax and are giving the money instead to groups work- ing for constructive change in our society," she added. Taylor said she felt the demon- stration was very successful. "We had all types of people out here showing they are serious in their opposition to the war," she said.

Over 55 per cent of the students in his two sections have signed petitions calling for his reinstatement next year. Since Prof. David Dull was hired to teach organic chemistry as a replacement he will have to leave' when the two professors return frcm their sabbatical. But two of his students, Steve Yarows, '73 and Grant Hyatt, '73 both feel that he will still be needed. "I am in Prof. Dull's class this term, and I am very impressed with his ability to take the dry- ness out of chemistry," Yarows said. "He has an amazing ability to make chemistry more than just a bunch of equations. We need a guy like that around here." Hyatt has similar feelings con- cerning Dull's'teaching ability.
