Currently, a committee com-
posed of students, faculty mem-
bers, administrators, and Regents
is formulating a proposal for
permanent University-wide judi-
cial procedures.
Its final proposal is expected to
provide for the use of an all-stu-

However, he noted that requests
for changes in recruiting poli-

Services, which is in OSS, could
be submittad to the OSS P o 1 i c y
Board. The board, which has a
majority of student members, sets
policy for OSS.
Van Wylen said that. a decision
on the groups' demands would
have to be made by the engineer-
ing college's executive committee,
the top administrative body in the
college.
However, he suggested that the
group discuss ,the issue with En-

mittee, a group composed pri-
marily of engineering students,
which can make a recommenda-
tion to the executive committee.
Yesterday's action was a con-
tinuation of an anti-recruiting
campaign begun by SDS last win-
ter. The radical group sponsored
a numberofcdemonstrations in
support of the campaign, and em-
ployed tactics which included
picketing, trashing, and disrup-
tion.
However, SDS members say they
are trying to "work within the
system" initially in their current
drive because of charges last year
that SDS never presented formal
complaints against specific re-
cruiters, so that the University
would have an opportunity to re-
act to them.
The organization has not ruled
out the use of stronger tactics
should the recruiter be allowed to
hold job interviews on campus.
On Oct. 1, SDS members at-
tempted to demonstrate against a
recruiter ,from the Air Force, but
the protest was cancelled when
the recruiter did not arrive.
Further tactics to be used
-against the Dow recruiter will be
decided at a meeting of all SDS
collectives at 7:30 p.m. in East
Quad.
Mechanical engineering Prof.
Samual Clark, chairman of the
advisory committee, said that the
committee will meet Monday,
"probably at noon," to discuss the
charges against Dow.

hits talks
at colleges
WASHINGTON (A")-The House
Internal Security Committee has
compiled a report expressing the
committee's concern that money
paid to speakers at U.S. cam-
puses is a significant source of
funds "for the promoters of dis-
orderly and revolutionary activity
among students."
The report, based on a survey
of 134 campuses - 3.5 per cent of
all U.S. colleges - will be released
early next week.
Citing fees paid to speakers
from various leftist organizations,
the report says that speaking ap-
pearances "afford a forum where
the radicalization process may be
continually expanded."
But the report stops short of
concluding the campus speeches
-finance revolution or disorder,
saying the committee had no way
to ascertain how the speakers used
the money they are paid.
It cites 67 speakers who were
paid $109, 243 for campus speeches
during the past two school years.
The speakers range from Mark
Rudd, a leader of the Weatherman
faction of Students for a Demo-
cratic Society, to Benjamin Spock,
who has spoken frequently against
the draf.t
The report says the 67 peakers,
who made 155 of the 1,411 speech-
es listed by the surveyed cam-
puses, have been publicly iden-
tified with militant, radical or
Communist-oriented groups or
have provided public support for
such groups.
"If in a sampling of 3/2 per cent
of the institutions of higher edu-
cation, funds of this volume are
derived by such persons," it says,
"the Congress and the people of
the United States have a right to
conclude that the campus speak-
ing circuit is certainly the source
of significant financing for the
promoters of disorderly and revo-
lutionary activity among stu-
dents."
The report says Spock was paid
$21,550 for 12 speeches and Greg-
ory $19,550 for 21.
Mark Rudd was paid $1,069 for
five speeches, it says, and H. Rap
Brown, accused of inciting a riot
at Cambridge, Md., was paid $1,540
for one speech at an unnamed
campus.

that there is widespread sex dis-
crimination in admissions and a
callous attitude toward the prob-
lems of those women who are ad-
mitted.
The study was conducted by
Prof. Harold Kaplan of the New
York College of Medicine. He sentI
questionnaires to all medical
schools in the United States and
Canada, receiving replies from
well over i95 per cent of the
schools.
Only 9 percent of American
doctors are women, a figure which
ple, 24 percent of British doctors
and 65 percent of Russian phy-
sicians are women.
Kaplan says that the responses
of the medical schools show that a
major reason for this is prejudice
against women medical students on
the part of the schools that train
them. One medical school stated,
"In this school we have not been
overly impressed with the women

TV program
to focus on
Sblacks at U'
By JUANITA ANDERSON
Nearly a month ago, people crossing the
Diag at noon were met by television cameras
filming a discussion between members of
*the University's black community.
Tonight at 8:30, that discussion will be
aired by WWJ-TV in Detroit in a program
about the life of black students at this
campus. The program, part of the station's
"Profiles in Black" series, will also focus on
the issues surrounding last spring's class
strike supporting the demands of the Black
Action Movement (BAM) for increased
minority admissions.

py with their performance," the
statement added. "In this medical
school we screen all women appli-
cants as carefully as possible, in
order to be as certain as we can
concerning their motivation f o r
studying medicine."
Kaplan says that medical
schools are less apt to admit mar-
ried women than single women,
especially those with children.
"We have admitted a few mar-
ried women without children,"
wrote one school, "but our ex-
perience with them has been al-
most uniformly poor. At the pre-
sent we would not admit one un-
less she were an outstanding stu-
dent," it continued, adding, "Up
to the present we have refused to
admit married women with child-
Iren."
Many schools explained their at-
titudes toward women with child-
ren by voicing fears that the wo-
men will have to devote too much
time to being mothers. The Uni-
versity of British Columbia stat-
ed, ". . . we would not admit stu-
dents where there is likely to be
conflict between two jobs: That is
the academic pursuit and the re-
sponsibility of looking after a
family. If these two were in con-
flict, we would likely not accept
the student."
When medical scnools do accept
women students, they usually
make no provision for pregnancy,
expecting the student to return
as soon as possible. Kaplan con-
cludes that "the most startling
and frequent observations f r o m
many schools . . . is that most
