presentations at the 4 p.m.
session.
The Tenants Union (TU) plans
to amplify their previous demand
for' the construction of 5000 units
'of low cost housing by the Uni-
versity, while the Child Care Cen-
ter Action Group plans to present
once again their demand for a
free 24-hour day care center
funded by the University and con-
trolled by the parents and center
staff members. '
It does not appear' at this time
that the Regents plan to make
any major decisions at the regular
meeting Friday. Regent William

speculated,' "It looks like a tame
session this time."
At last month's Regents meet-
ing TU members pressed for a
commitment to build low cost
housing; The ,Regents responded
they would welcome any "con-
Crete" proposals presented them on
the subject.
"We have specific plans," said
Fred Arnold, a spokpsman for TU,
last night. TU will call on the Re-
gents to "direct the Resource Al-
locations Committee to come up
with the funds," he explained.
He also said that they' will sug-
gest the Regents build on the
University-owned Fuller Flatlands
near Huron Towers and the Uni-
versity golf.course because "these
are the only large ", areas we can
use without demolition of other
buildings."
TU will also demand that ten-
ants have control of planning and
running of new housing accommo-
dations, Arnold said.

No local agenda
as action builds
on East Coast
By HANNAH MORRISON
"Think peaceful thoughts,"
during today's anti-war ior-
atorium, suggests the National
Strike for Peace advertise-
ment in this week's New York
Times.
But the two-hour moratorium,
which was backed by the area Stu-
dent Mobilization Committee
(SMC) has not been organized
locally.
Although the SMC endorsed the
New York-based action by sign-
ing the advertisement, chairman
Dave Ruhland said, "We're not
trying to build this in Ann Ar-
bor because it hasn't been well-
planned." He predicted that- t h e
strike won't "get off much beyond
the East coast."
Ruhland said he did not pre-
sent the National Strike to the
local Peace Action Coalition
(PAC) because of the lack of na-
tional coordination and involve-
ment. "This is different from last
year's Moratorium," he said. "It's
been based mainly in New York."
Although there is no structured
agenda for the strike, to be held
from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., the ad-
vertisement boasts a ten-item list
of suggestions for "meaningful
activities." Among them are do-
nating blood, writing letters to
President Nixon, Vice-President
Agnew or Congressmen, working
for peace candidates for the Nov.
3 elections, holding a teach-in,
joining an anti-war organization
or petitioning a governing body to
pass an anti-war resolution.
Future plans of the National
Strike group include support of
the national PAC mass rallies
planned for Oct .31 in 25 cities
around the country and organizing
activities for Nov. 15, the first
anniversary of the March on
Washington.
The National Strike for Peace
formed in September. It presented
ideas and received some support at
the national PAC meeting held in
Chicago later that month.
Last year on Oct. 15, the mora-
torium was nation-wide, making
its presence felt in major cities,
as well a on college campuses. The
day was marked by well-attended
seminars, teach-ins and lectures.
About 20,000 persons at the Uni-
versity last year attended a rally
at the Crisler Arena in protest of
the war.

A. Davis
Action seen as
legal procedure
to aid extradition
NEW YORK () --Angela
Davis, the black revolutionist
captured Tuesday and accused
of flight to avoid murder and
kidnap charges in California,
was held in $250,000 bail yes-
terday, then released by fed-
eral authorities and immed-
iately rearrested y city
police.
The action was a .prelude to
legal moves to return her to Cali-
fornia to answer charges con-
nected with a courthouse gunfight
in which four persons died.
Davis had been soukht for near-
ly two months and had been on
the FBI's most wanted list. The
FBI immediately ~replaced Davis'
name with that of Bernadine Rae
Dohrn, reputed underground lead-
er of the Weatherman faction of
the Students for a Democratic
Society.
Dohrn is wanted on charges of
unlawful interstate flight to avoid
prosecution for mob action, viola-
tion of federal anti-riot laws, and

Davis, 26-year-old M a r x i s t
scholar and former UCLA college
professor, has been accused on the
West Coast of having bought the
guns used in the shootout Aug. 7
in the Marin County Courthouse
at San Rafael.
She was arrested Tuesday night
in Manhattan, and was arraigned
before a U.S. commissioner early
yesterday. Bond was then set, and
she remained in the holding cells
of the federal courthouse through
the afternoon.G
Then, shortly after 8 p.m., bail
was canceled and Davis was for-
mally discharged from federal cus-
tody.
Detective Alfred C. Halikias of
the New York police came forward
and announced: "Miss Davis,
you're under arrest."
She was taken for booking at an
undisclosed city police station.
Asst. U.S. Atty. John H. Doyle had
moved for Davis' release, declaring
that he had received certified co-
pies of a warrant from Marin
County, Calif., which he was turn-
ing over to city authorities.
It. was not clear immediately
why this procedure of handling
Davis was being used) She could
have' been subject to removal
procedures under either federal or
state laws.

He hasn't smoked it yet or actually even looked at the real

yesterday as he sniffs a package of marijuana. The package was
selected by trained dogs who sniffed out the nefarious bag from

The symposium was an activity
of the University's celebration of
the centennial anniversary of the
admission of the first woman stu-
dent.
The program consisted of panels
in the areas of female psychol-
ogy, the problems of women grad-
uate students, and the future of
women at the university.
The most enthusiastically re-
ceived panel followed a noon
luncheon in the Michigan League

or national origin."

"If women get into graduate{
school, the assumption is that she
won't finish. If she does, she won't
make any contribution to her
field. If she does, then it won't be
any good. And if it is, then she is
abnormal," she said.
The next two speakers debated
the future of advanced education
for women.
Sybil Stokes, of the Inktitute of
Public Policy Studies,. voiced op-
timism that more women would.
be receiving doctorates and going
in'o graduate work.
Noel Kramer, a third year law
student, was more pessimistic. She
told the tale of the woman law
student.
"She enters with the naive idea
that she has a perfect right to be
there. She is likely to believe she
has a duty to use the intelligence
that she has. She believes that
hard work will conquer what ob-
stacles exist," she said.
"At first, she has the pleasant
experience of much attention from
male law students. She soon learns
that this is inspection-and not
intellectual or personality traits
either. She is caught on the horns
of a dilemma. If she is quiet, then
she is labelled passive and unable
to succeed. If she is more assert-
ive. then she is a castrating fe-
male," Kramer added. However,
she said, getting jobs is even
worse.
Grace Mack of the psychology
department said that black w6men
had a different priority. -

"We don't have the option of
dealing with women's liberation,"
she said, "I'm not saying it doesn't
have merit. But black females
cannot put their femaleness before
their blackness. We are discrimi-
nated against first because we are
black."
The concluding panel dealt with
the University of the 1980's and
how women fit into that picture.
Sociology Prof. Charles Tilly
discussed the possibilities.
He believed that in the future
a new university structure which
eliminated most degrees would be
helpful for women because it
would be more difficult for anx-
ious parents to send their daugh-
ters to become certified as mar-
riagable by the university.

Biological warf are stockpiles
remain despite Nixon claims

I-

By SEYMOUR M. HERSH
Dispatch News Service
WASHINGTON - Despite a
presidential renunciation of bio-
logical warfare more than 10
months ago, the United States is
still maintaining a vast stockpile
of lethal biological agents.
Approximately 10,000 gallons of
some of the most deadly killers
known to man - including the
dreaded disease Anthrax - are

now stored at the Army's biolo-
gical production center at Pine
Bluff, Ark.
President Nixon announced Nov.
25, 1969, that the United States
would get out of the biological
warfare field, except for a small
program of defensive research.
Yet it can now be reported that
four biological warfare agents are
currently in t h e U.S. stockpile.

Valhalla, Walden III, and Karma sound
like idyllic names for equally idyllic living

Campus Co-op (NCC), however, believe
their houses have been misnamed.
"My biggest gripe is that we have no
home. We feel like nomads, having lived
out of suitcases for six weeks," says one
co-op resident. "It really gets you down.
Instead of eating on the run it's living on
the run. Our co-op spirit is mildewing
along with all our belongings."

Pentagon, although President Nix-

their use, even in retaliation.
In addition, the military h a s
developed a dozen sophisticated
biological warfare spray tanks,
bombs, a nd other delivery sys-
tems capable of disseminating dry
or wet biological agents from most
of the attack planes now in the

The continued existence of the

Hartford ruled yesterday that state aid to, nonpublic schools

That number of schools had contracted with the state to

schools, 217. or more are operated by religious bodies and
about 210 of those are Roman Catholic.

Until the first houses moved out of ZBT,
life there was hectic. According to an irate
resident, "216 persons simply cannot co-

ZBT members formerly occupied.

The financial setback to schools
is not yet final, however, because
it is expected that the educational

The original suit was filed by
six Connecticut taxpayers, repre-

assistance to nonpublic schools for

Some time later, the National
