(R) - A state of emergency was imposed in this industrial city of 85,000 after a black youth was shot 4 and wounded yesterday - two days after four white youths were felled by bullets in racial fighting Monday. Police Chief William Hangar announced a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and banned sale of alcoholic beverages and of gasoline in portable containers during curfew hours. About 25 per cent of Pontiac's population is black. Authorities said the racial clashes by youths stemmed from a fight among students at a football game last Friday. Police reported that shots were fired in the air at dusk yesterday by some employes of a small factory after they were blocked from, leaving by large groups of black youths. Police said no one was injured but that some arrests were made. O corThe 15 factory workers w e r e C n o escorted out by police as they were the day before during a similar incident. t Nw trouble erupted yesterday at Pontiac Central High School, where the four white youths were 0dshot Monday.

Both had agreed earlier not to release any information on the nature of the demands until a final agreement was reached. The sit-in, which lasted 12 hours, was initially called by BSA to protest what was described by the university as a prank by two white students Mondaynight. The two male students, dress- ed in long coats and hats, knock- ed on the door of a dormitory room occupied by two black wo- men students. The women said they were threatened with a gun, but a subsequent search of t h e mens' room turned up only an old bayonet. Police said the w h i t e students, whose identity was not revealed, told them they were "playing a joke." BSA demanded that the two be prosecuted and a room-to-room search of all dormitories be made. As of last night, neither action had been taken. Tuesday night BSA called a meeting, during which they drew up a list of 13 demands and made plans to take over the cafeteria in Vandenburg Hall, which serv- es all eight of the university's residence halls. After conferring with b 1 a c k members of Oakland's faculty and staff, they moved into the cafe- teria. "It was in no way violent," said John Tap of the Office of Student Affairs. "Everyone was! well-disciplined and no damage was done during the entire sit-in." After the takeover began, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs James Appleton and Director of Residence Halls William Daleen went into the cafeteria and talked with the students there. At 4 a.m., Oakland Chancellor Donald 0'- Dowd arrivedandnegotiations be- gan. At about the same time, a group of white students began to try and organize support for t h e blacks.

Departing in several major in- stances from previous American initiatives, Nixon said of his cease-fire plan: "My hope is that it will break the logjam in all the negotiations." An administration source said last night officials in Washington are hopeful that the President's suggestions will trigger a process of exploration at the bargainimg table.

By the end of this term, it appears that most of their recommendations will have been implemented. Already one of the pro- posals-for\ the appointment of an asso- On most of the school's committees, stu- dent representation will approach parity with faculty. On the curriculum co-ordi- nating committee, four students will sit with five faculty members. Students will have voting rights on all the school's in- ternal committees e x c e p t the executive committee, on which three students (in- stead of the present two) will sit in a non- voting capacity with six faculty members. The question of student representation on the executive committee has evoked some controversy. Jack Eisner, former pres- Perhaps the most important proposal is the division of the school into four divi- sions. Each division will have a chairman appointed by the dean in consultation with students and faculty. Each division will form a j o i n t student-faculty executive committee to assist the chairman in the executive functions in the division: One crucial purpose of dividing the school in this way is to establish a more meaningful student - faculty relationship, say some faculty members.
