On Oct. 6 HEW gave the University 30 days to respond with a program to remedy what they charged was discrimination in em- ployment of women. The deadline expired last Friday. A temporary hold was placed on a $350,000 federal contract with the University's Center for Popu- lation Planning Oct. 28, w h e n HEW's Contract Compliance Divi- sion notified the Agency for In- ternational Development (AID) that the University was "not awardable" and that contracts must be held up pending an agree- ment with the University. Vice President for State Rela- tions and Planning Fedele Fauri, does not forsee an immediate re- solution of the conflict, viewing today's meeting as an information session. "We are going to ascertain whe- ther HEW's position is t h e i r original position and whether the filing of new material by the Uni- versity has changed anything,"j Fauri said. Fauri would not comment on the new material, because it was mostly in answer to HEW's letter, which has not been released by the University. "After we return," Fauri said, "I'msure that a statement will be issued.'' Although Fleming has said that there may be "serious" disagree- ment between HEW and the Uni- versity on some points, Fauri said he was unable to definitely tell what those points may be. "There may be problems, but I won't know until I get there." If the AID contract itself is to be discussed, a hearing is re- quired by federal law.

The actual cuts, however, would be made from the 1971-72 budget, depending on the size of the University's allocation from the state. In his memorandum to the deans and directors, Smith said that while efforts in Lansing to obtain funds would not be relaxed, "it is unlikely that there will be incremental dollars to finance everything this University should do next year."

"We b e l i e v e that planning now will get us in a position next May or June to make w i s e r decisions and greater gains in program im- provement than if we wait up- til the Legislature has acted to start the process," he said. According to guidelines set down: by Smith and President Robben Fleming, in a letter last week, a' cut in the salary budget would not necessarily mean a cut in any individual's salary. Fleming and Smith said the purpose of the cuts in the salary budget is to provide funds for a: salary increase next year. "Resulting savings would bel available to support salary and wage increases, to support higher priority programs," and to be re- distributedto the various units, Fleming said. Fleming also suggested several ways in which possible cuts from the salary budget could be made: -A flat percentage cut on all budgets; -Specific program cuts which would be made by the dean or director of each unit; -Increased enrollment without proportionately increased c o s t s, such as by admitting more stu1- dents at the start of second term after * many others customarily leave:; -A systematic increase in the teaching load of the faculty; -Limitation or removal of "small or unpopular' courses; -A tightening up of "the re- view of the need for replacement, or replacement at the same level, of positions vacated by death, re- tirement or resignations;"' -A review of "the possibilities for increasing r e v e n u e sources from school or college activities or from outside sources." In his memorandum, Smith also listed several. items "which simply must be met with new dollars." -A $1.3 million increase in the Opportunity Awards Program and other student aid items, in line with the Black Action Movement demands met by the Regents last spring; -$491,698 for maintenance and utilities in new buildings, such as the new Modern Languages Bldg. or the Power Center for the Per- forming Arts; -Increased costs of municipal services, utilities, insurance, se- curity and postage, estimated at $659,867; and -$500,000 to meet the cost of increased demands on the Com- puter Center.

Today's deadline must be met if GM is to return to full production by Dec. 1, officials said. Such an agreement could then be submitted to the 350-man GM- UAW Council tomorrow for its ap- proval and the next step would be a ratificationvote by GM work- ers across the country. The plan for a long day-night session was reported by a highly placed and usually reliable source. From another source it was learned the union has called its 25-member International Execu- tive Board to meet today in De- troit. While negotiations are being conducted under a news blackout, there have been reports of pro- gress from other sources in t h e last three days. Negotiators met for 10-plus hours both Saturday and Sunday. The UAW, while saying that "newspaper and other speculation about' an imminent settlement currently are without foundation," did not deny there had been sub- stantial'movement toward agree- ment within the past several days of bargaining. The strikfe, called Sept: 15 to support the UAW's wage and fringe benefit demands, has idled 400,000 in GM plants in the Unit- ed States and Canada and has re- sulted in thousands of layoffs in supplier plants and related indus- tries. The union has summoned its GM Council to Detroit tomorrow, an action which usually follows contract settlement. The union said that this time, however, such a meeting was ne- cessary whether or not there was a new national contract. It said plans must be made for strike con- tinuance if there is no new con- tract by tomorrow. t citicism of campus speakers of- - -- IJ 0 Ivarious political shades "are ju- dicially naive as well as funda- mentally unworkable and ulti- tax mately undesirable. a 10Re aX When asked whether he would ' * like a federal grand jury to probe 4 , a a . - .. - - -u ^ By KRIS RINGSTROM The Ann Arbor War Tax Coun- seling Service is urging telephone owners to "hang up on war" to- day during a 12:15 p.m. mass eeting at the local phone com- pany, The group is requesting phone' owners to pay their bills minus the 10 per cent Federal tax levied by Congress in 1966, urging that the tax money be donated instead to * presentatives of the striking eneral Motors workers.

"The boycott demonstrates t h a t. you are opposed to the war and are acting conscientiously on your Elief." The group stresses that the pro- test is not against the telephoney company, but rather "is a de- monstration against the illegal use of our tax money." One spokesman for the tax re- aors says the action, which is nation-wide "is a meaningful, peaceful way to express opposi- tion to the war."

INTER city,, s ac tion in p onceii By CARLA RAPOPORT Mayor Robert Harris yesterday took issue with recent criticism by the head of the city's civil rights agency on the city's handling of a controversial case of police "mis- conduct" during the black admis- sions strike last spring. In a statement issued last Fri- day, Robert Hunter, acting direc- tor of the Human Rights Depart- ment, sharply attacked a recent report on the incident by City Ad- ministrator Guy Larcom, Jr., who recommended that the officer not be prosecuted. Following Larcom's report, Har- ris had announced the city would not press charges against the po- liceman in the case. The officer involved is alleged' to have aimed a blow at a black,' T. R. Harrison, '73, who was al- ready pinned down by another officer during a clash at the Ad-' ministration Bldg. last March be- tween supporters of the Black Action Movement and the police. Calling Hunter's statement "in- accurate" and "gratuitous," Har- ris objected to what he described as factual errors. NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM Hunter had criticized many of Larcom's reasons for calling for dismissal of the case, citing last spring's killings at Kent State University and Jackson State Col- lege as examples of the conse- quences of police over-reaction. Harris said Hunter showed a "basic disregard for civil liber- ties," by stating that the officer in question had established a "questionable performance pat- tern" toward black people. Stressing that the complaints against the officer had been dis- missed for lack of merit, Harris said that "he (Hunter) would be the first to object if a civilian's arrest-not followed by conviction -were taken into account in a similar fashion." In addition, Harris said Hunter's statement incorrectly implied that punishment is the purpose of em- ploye's discipline as well as the purpose of criminal law. "Discipline proceedings (of city employes) are not designed to punish but to deter employes from flouting rules laid down by their superiors and to weed out employes who are unduly likely to violate such rules again in the future." Harris stated. Hunter had participated in a three-man investigation of the BAM incident which released itsl futed." He added that most stu- dents have "a sound. instinct againstany such nonsense." "Now that the election is over," Fleming said, "we need no longer pretend that it is a simple ques- tion of 'gutless' administrators and faculty at one extreme, or simple, clean-cut idealists who occasionally engage in naughty acts at the other extreme." Fleming went on to say that "It is quite true that a visit to any major campus will bewilder most adults. What looks like a Hallo- ween masquerade takes place daily, although, as you walk across campus, you will find far more o r d i n a r y than extra-ordinary people." Drug experts hold talks By EUGENE ROBINSON The first widespread abuse of amphetamines began during World War Two when Japanese soldiers were given a supply of 'speed pills' to inspire their fighting, said Dr. Masaaki Kato dur- ing yesterday's symposium on drug abuse. Kato is one of several experts from around the world meeting here this week in a program designed to aid the physician in dealing with drug problems. The program, sponsored by the Dept. of Post- that "there has been some effort to legally limit production of amphetamines," and added that these drugs are used as crutches. He em- phasized the psychological dependence acquired from continued use of these drugs. "The need for control (of amphetamine usage) should be based on the hazards of the drugs and the level of control should be based on the medical usage of the drugs," said Dr. Dale Cameron of the World Health Organization. He added that the major use of amphetamines is in the treatment of obesity, and the effect of 'Froggie goes a courtin' at 'U' The Guttman Saddle Frogand it Sheldon Guttman essgurdianoy tMim Ui arrived here yesterday m:orig by special airplane....
