The board appeared to be in agreement on establishing a pol- 'icy--setting board for the Office of University Housing along the lines of the OSS board itself. The Stu- dent Advisory Committee on Uni- versity Housing presently advises the director of the office, but it does not have policy-making status. i University Housing Director John Feldkamp explained s o m a' of the problems of his office say- ing, "We are not able to fund a program for the greatest need in housing. This need is for central campus single student housing un- der some kind of rent control," #Feldkamp said. Natural resources Prof. John Bardach criticized the University for being "woefully lacking in long range planing for housing." He said the University should reor- der its priorities - specifically on the issue of the "sacrosanct Uni- * versity properties such as the golf course." The policy board also discussed the possibility of the University assisting the Inter-Cooperative Council (ICC) in buying up vacant fraternities and sororities. Mem- bers of the board said the Uni- 1 versity had the money to help ICC and this expenditure would be a relatively inexpensive way to improve the housing market in Ann Arbor. The board mentioned the ques- tion of University recognition of student organizations, but put off full discussion of the issue until next week to allow members time to study the problem. Recognition of .student organ- izations has become an issue fol- lowing President Robben Flem- ing's original ban on Gay Libera- .#tion Front use of the Union facili- ties to hold a Midwest conference in November. Fleming said the group was not "educational" in nature. Responsibility for the final de- cision on the conference was dele- gated by the Regents at their last ,meeting to Vice President for Stu- dent Services Robert Knauss. The OSS policy board will eventually advise him on this decision. In the past recognition as a stu- dent organization has implied the right to use University facilities--- such as the Union-and a finan- cial advisor to the group. However, fit was pointed out by board mem- bers that unrecognized student] organizations presently use Uni- versity facilities such as the Diag billboards. The Brain Mistrust also ad- dressed the policy board asking that the University comply with anti-discrimination laws by not allowing on campus recruiters from corporations that maintain branch offices or plants in apart- heid South Africa. The board postponed any action until next week's meeting when> ,the Brain Mistrust will present further evidence and additional speakers to back up their request Military to fire 7000 for drugs Navy officials testify before House committee WASHINGTON ()-More than 7,000 Marines and sailors will probably be discharged from the service this year for illegal drug activity, Congress was told yester- day. A special House armed services military subcommittee heard top ranking Navy and Marine Corps officers testify that approximately 6,000 sailors and 1,100 Marines will be discharged in 1970 for drug vio- lations. most involving marijuana. The Marines, with 545 men dis- charge'd during the first six months of this year, have a better record proportionately than the Navy, which has had 2,895 dis- charges for drug reasons. The Navy's manpower is two and one- half to three times larger than the Marine Corps. Brig. Gen. R. B. Carney Jr. told the subcommittee the Marine Corps has no medical rehabilita- tion program and does not plan to establish one. Marines involved in illegal drug use are either ad- ministratively discharged or court- martialed, he said. "The statistical data available concerning the treatment and re- habilitation of narcotic and dan- gerous drug users is not impres- sive," Carney said. He said the more successful re- habilitative programs take up to two years and the Marine Corps is not funded or supported to the extent necessary to assume such a program. "The manpower of both the re- habilitees and the rehabilitors would be lost for our primary mili- tary missions," Carney explained. Rear Adm. S. H. Kinney told the panel the Navy is more inclined than the Marines to make efforts to rehabilitate its drug users. He said the Navy was successful with about 97 per cent of the 2,000 psy- chological rehabilitations it at- tempted in the past year. -During the first half of 1970 the Navy conducted 7,477 d r u g investigations. The Marine Corps conducted 2,097 investigations duringtthe same six months, the witnesses testified. ticize publi ot aiding C Group compromise on 'U judiciary nears By DAVE CHUDWIN A committee struggling to formulate a new University judicial system appeared last night to be near agreement-on a method of determining procedural rulings in trials, the last major stumbling block in its effort to develop new campus legal procedures. The committee proposal provides for an outside legal expert to decide procedural questions such as admissibility of evidence. The expert, however, could be overruled by a three member panel that would include two students and one faculty member for student trials. This proposal, which will be put on paper by a drafting committee this week, is a compromise between regental -Associated Press Policing the Agnew speech Two Pittsburgh policemen, left hands holding police dogs, use their rights hand to move a girl who was part of a crowd demon- strating last night outside the Pittsburgh Hilton where Vice President Agnew was speaking at a $150 plate dinner.

"There's a real balance that no- body's excited about-that's why we're not exactly jumping up and down," S t u d e n t Government Council President Marty Scott said. "What it is, is a proposal in line with what we can accept, the faculty can accept and the Re- gents can accept." The committee - appointed by President Robben Fleming last April-previously agreed that guilt and punishment of students and faculty members be decided by a jury of six, randomly selected peers.t If the students, faculty mem- bers, administrators and Regents on the committee, formally ap- prove the compromise, the next step will be appointing several members to put the entire system on paper for final approval. The compromise was arrived at during a lunch meeting earlier yesterday between acting literary college Dean Alfred Sussman, Law Prof. TheodoredSt. Antoine, Mi- chael Davis and Bob Grieg, two student members of the commit- tee. Previously the committee was Jane Hart advocates 'movin the middle' By CHRIS PARKS "Moving the middle" as a means of political reform was the major theme of a speech given by Jane Hart last night in Hill Aud. Hart, the outspoken wife of Michigan Sen. Philip Hart spoke before a crowd of about 300 in the first part of a series that will bring Sen. GeorgeMcGovern (D-N.D.) and former Att. Gen. Ramsey Clark to Ann Arbor to speak in behalf of Hart's campaign for re-election. While conceding that the "fringes" provide the leadership for change, Hart emphasized that only with the support of "middle America" can change be brought about. It was on this basis that she she she opposed the "Amnesty Plank" of the state party Platform. This plank tended to "antagonize" the "middle" and therefore -- hurt more than it helped at e this time, she contended.

Guard asks new weapons COLUMBUS, Ohio W) - The Ohio National Guard, criticized by a Presidential commission in con- nection with the shooting deaths of four Kent State University students, has requested nonleth- al weapons for use in future dis- orders. However, the Guard plans to continue to carry rifles and load them on command. Ohio Adj. Gen. Sylvester T. Del Corso, commander of the O h i o Guard, said yesterday Guardsmen will continue the policy "to have ammunition with them when call- ed out and will load their weapons on command of an officer." "We do not want to kill anyone, or even injure anyone. But the trouble is there when we are call- ed out, and we have to be prepar- ed to do our job." Del Corso said his office last week asked the Department of the Army to equip guard units across the nation with short-range, non- lethal weapons and protective clothing for use in riot situations. If the request is granted, he said, the "-Ohio Guard would use such weapons. "But weswill not have a double standard," he said. "We plan to use these new weapons if we are called into the streets, the same as on the campuses . .. as far as we're concerned, there is no dif- ference between a disturbance on campus and one in the city streets .. "And we will still have some rifles. We're going to be prepared in case someone starts shooting at us." Units of the Ohio Guard have been called to active duty 33 times in the past three years for civil disorders. Nine of those call-ups have come this year. Under the Ohio Guard's recom- mendation, Guardsmen would get such weapons as multiple bator* that fire wooden blocks, not shotguns andadditional chemical weapons. The Guard has a l1s0 recommended plastic face masks, armored flak vests and shields for use in riot duty. The Ohio Guard already is equipped with some shotguns, plastic face masks and flak vests, but does not have enough, accord- ing to McCann. The Guard has nq multiple batons or shields. Del Corso said that, along with nonlethal weapons, two riflemen would be assigned to each 10-man squad in riot duty. Other m e n would carry shotguns, multiple batons or tear gas grenade launch- ers. ject since the beginning of this very difficult war." -_ - He declined to give details of C v z r e 1 v t t e e 1 a "significant voice" in selecting the defender and in determining policy for the new office. The statement also proposed an ombudsman be appointed to t h e office for a five-year period in order to make the program "in- dependent of pressures from poli- ticians, the courts, the prosecutor, the Bar associations and the police agencies." Ezra Rowry, Chairman of the Model Cities policy board, charged the proposal represented a "pro- establishment, anti-client point of view." He said the proposal was drawn up by "law enforcement people" and represented an "ob- vious conflict of interest" claiming it made the county prosecutor and public defender both responsible to the "law and order establish- ment." Rowry charged the attorneys from the public defender's office would not be responsive to the needs of their defendents, and the defender )unty poor proposed new office wouldl not represent any improvement o v e r the present system. Defending the new program, chairman of the Board of Com- missioners O. Herbert Ellis said re- presentatives of the county's poor community had not been consult- ed in drawing up the plan, but he emphasized the program was still in the formative stage and had not yet been approved. Although the board had not dis- cussed the possibility of involving the poor in the program's opera- tions, Ellis said he was not op- posed to the idea in principle and the matter was open for discus- sion. George Stewart, director of the Washtenaw County Legal Aid Clinic, endorsed the program but seconded Rowry's concern about the possibility of a conflict of in- terest between the defender's of- fice and the county prosecutor. It would be "a very bad idea," said Stewart, to have the defender either elected or appointed by the county commissioners. U n d e r such conditions the defender would be subjected to opposite pressures from his client and the electorate which might be more concerned with law and order. Stewart suggested the' commis- sioners approve a non-profit cor- poration to administer the pro- gram. Such a board, he said, should consist of local attorneys concerned with problems of in- digent defense and representa- tion from the community to be served. This board of control, Stewart said; would hire a defender ac- ceptable to the poor community, administer the federal and county funds and establish guidelines for the program. Circuit Court Judge John W. rlin Ani-aA +1 rnrta 111l ha P:n The President also said his statement will not be limited to any of the particular subjects that had been speculated on in the news media "but will cover all of the major issues that are involved in the Southeast Asia area." Among the topics speculated upon recently have been an in- crease in the n u m b e r of U.S. troops that will be withdrawn. "I would like to indicate that we do not consider this to be a propaganda gimmick," N i x o n said. "We are not saying it sim- ply for the record." As an indication of the U.S. at- titude, Nixon said he has instruct- ed the chief U.S. negotiator at Paris, Ambassador David K. E. Bruce, "to lay this proposal on the table" at the next meeting Thursday morning with repre- sentatives of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Nixon said the statement had been prepared "only after very thorough consideration of all the issues that are involved in our negotiating position."

"We argued that it is important to have an 'animated law book' who by virtue of his knowledge of l a w could direct a trial with fairness." Scott said he envisaged the re- lationship between the outside legal expert and the three-member panel as fluid, with consultation and cooperation between the two. Regent Robert Nederlander (D- Birmingham) warned the commit- tee its proposal would have to be acceptable to the faculty and t h e Regents. "Faculty members have to be convinced that hearings will be fair to all sides, not solely to the defendants," he explained. Central S t u d e n t Judiciary Chairman Ed Kussy expressed dis- pleasure at having an outside pre- sence in the judiciary system, also criticizing differentiating be- tween students and faculty mem- bers on the panel. Joseph Julin, associate law school dean, said he was troubled by the provision allowing rulings of the outside legal expert to be overturned. "You want expertise but not too much expertise," he commented. Despite these objections, the See JUDICIARY, Page 8 U OF ALABAMA AFFAIR Radical admits to FBI status TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (CPS) - A well- known student radical at the University of Alabama has admitted acting as an FBI informer. One-time student Charles Grimm made the admission after charges were levelled against him by three attorneys who are defending many of the students arrest- ed during last May's student strike here. "We feel that Charles Grimm w a s nothing but a pawn of the Federal Bureau of Investigazion and the City Police of Tus- caloosa,' said George Dean, an American Civil Liberties Union Lawyer. With asso- ciates Jack Drake and Ralph Knowles, Dean accused Grimm. a former University violation. The second case was dismussed. He and his wife, a former student named Sharon Griney, left Tuscaloosa during the summer and were not located until Sept. 25. Mrs. Grimm was arrested during the May disorders also. She was charged with siphoning gas from an automobile. Neither of their cases have been tried, although they were listed on the docket for August 26. In a statement made by Drake Sept. 30, the attorneys alleged that Grimm had ad- mitted being present when a fire at Dress- ler Hall was started on the morning of 1ay 7. and had set fire to a nrivate resi- during the disorders. Grimm also admitted being an undercover agent whose d u t i e s were "to criticize the university adminis- tration for repressive action" While trying to learn the identity of agitators. In the statement Sept. 30, the lawyers said Grimm told the three that his roles were *to infiltrate the student movement on campus, to identify the leaders of that movement, to engage in radical criticism of University officials (in order to gain the confidence of other students), to encourage conflict and division within the University community, to provoke students into com- :: ,. ,: ..
