The protesters, who began their sit-in early Tuesday morning, agreed to leave the building only after Uni- versity President Robben Fleming vowed to do his best "to alleviate the problems of minority students." IN HIS STATEMENT, Fleming promised to use his "influence with the various departments in finding ways to respond to the Decision stalled * Yesterday's Curriculum Committee meeting yieldedrno final agreement on the proposed guide- lines for independent studies, experiental courses and directed reading courses. There was, however, considerable controversy, and Student representa- tives on the committee objected to the severe limitations for obtaining experiential course credit. One University official insisted that "we're saving the student from himself or herself." Approval of the proposed guidelines will probably come at next week's meeting. 0 Makin' music WDET listeners will get a chance to help com- pose a musical masterpiece Saturday night.

Alabama Governor, George Wallace, says there is a distinct possibility he would switch to a third party if Democrats don't change course from their 1972 presidential campaign. Asked if he would join a third party next year if the Democratic Party pays him no heed, he replied, "Not just necessarily for those reasons, but if they do what they did in 1972, that could be a distinct possibil- ity, yes." He also added, "The people who want me aren't going to go away." 0 On the in,4de ... .the Editorial page has a variety of features on birth control and the problems connected with it, and since h's Friday the Arts page presents Cinema Weekend, and Fred Upton previews to- night's hockey game aw-inst Denver.

He also said that since there were no illegal acts committed during the occupation, there would be no penalties and therefore no need for amnesty. Despite the "great feeling of non - accomplishment" ex- pressed by many of the stu- dents as they left the building, negotiations will be continued Monday morning. THE STUDENTS, many of them black, said that a set of six demands would have to be met by the University before they would vacate. They were: -recognition of the Third World Coalition Council as the official negotiating team for all minority students on campus; -immediatereinstatement of Cleopatra Lyons, a black nurs- ing student expelled for unspe- cified "academic reasons;'' -establishment of a full-time Native - American advocate; -establishment of an Asian- American advocate; -establishment of a Chicano cultural center and -complete amnesty for "all those participating in the activi- ties of the Third World Coalition Council. Although none of the original six demands were met outright by the University, Fleming agreed to a "fair and adequate hearing" for the expelled nurs- ing student.

Lyons ejection from the School of Nursing was a ma- jor incident leading to the oc- cupation of the Administration Building by minority students earlier this week. Her imme- diate re-instatement as a stu- dent was listed as one of the TWCC demands. LYONS has contended her ex- pulsion "was an incidence of prejudice" with the TWCC supporting her claim. H o w e v e r, junior-senior nursing school counselor Pene- lope Paul contends "no racism See RACISM, Page 7 By DAVID BURHENN University President Robben Fleming is one of two final candidates for the presidency of the University of California system, California sources re- ported yesterday. Fleming, who only last week was supposedly out of the run- ning for the prestigious post, has reportedly been asked to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow for an interview with the U-C Board of Regents. A TELEGRAM mailed to all 26 U-C Regents reportedly ask- ed them to attend the meeting to make a choice between Fleming, and U-C provost Da- vid Saxon. Fleming refused last night to comment on reports of his can- didacy and would neither con- firm nor deny that he would fly to California. Last week, some California observers reported that Flem- ing, who was first interviewed for the $60,000 a year position was out of contention. THE INTERVIEW, according to sources, did not go well and Regents were not impressed with Fleming's responses to their questions. Fleming was suffering from the flu at the time, and the second interview Fleming, GEO clash; exchange 'bad-faith' bargaining charges By JIM TOBIN President R o b b e n Fleming and high officials of the Gradu- ate Employes' Organization (GEO) squared off in their first public confrontation at the Re- gents' meeting yesterday as charge and counter-charge of bad-faith bargaining were level- led. Michele Hoyman and M:ark Kaplan of the GEO ExecAtive Committee presented the union's position for 20 minutes in an CIA spies on Con r ess WASHINGTON (P)-CIA Di- rector William Colby said yes- terday the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) once kept files on four congressmen and did not deny that the agency has used sex traps to gain information from foreigners. But Colby said these and other activities by the agency have been greatly exaggerated in a way that has "placed American intelligence in danger." "I WON'T SAY that sex and intelligence never got together," Colby testified before an open meeting of the House defense annropriations subcommittee. B'it he told the subcommittee in his first public testimony on alleged domestic spying by the CTA that he nreferred to with- hold for a closed session any f-rther comment on a published accomnt of sex traps. Colo mnist Jack Anderson has. effort to convince the R geots that the administration has not made an honest effort to resolve the ongoing strike. "WE ARE asking you as Re- gents to urge the Univecsity bargaining team to reach a speedy settlement with GEO," said Hoyman. "We feel this can be done by bargaining in good faith." When the union leaders had finished, Fleming responded, '1 don't think it's quite fair fr you to state all of these things. They (the University negotia- tors) would say that you have not negotiated very seriously about all of this, that your lead- ership has changed a great deal, that your demands have shifted around. "There's always a great ten- dency in your sort of position to state the case as if someone working a quarter of the time o'ight to be able to maxe a living wage," he added, cl um- ing the demand was totally un- reasonable and reminding them that nowhere else would such a demand even be considered. AS STRIKE support from un- dergraduates has b e g u n to wane, the GEO planned this ap- peal to the Regents as a ma'or tactic to put pressure o~ the administration to make conc-s- sions at the bargaining table. Hoyman recounted the GEO view of the bargaining histot y, claiming that the University has stalled continuously and still not made the union a reason- able offer. "The University bargaining team has made no economic pronosal for this year," she claimed. "They are still main- taining that they are so eco- nomically distressed that they cannot coiigh up any money for their -rad-ate emnloes." posal of binding arbi:a.ion is January, the GEO reiuceantly agreed to submit the deadlocked bargaining to the examination of a state-appointed tac.-finder. HOWEVER, with several is- sues of impasse being resolved since January, the }EO has become even more relu;rarnt to move into fact-finding. GEO reacted with disaopoin.- ment yesterday upon being n t- ified that a fact-findcr, Patrick McDonald, had been IppointeJ and a hearing scheduied. "We feel that such a move would divert the energy of both sides from the business of bar- gaining," Kaplan told the Re- gents. The union also disapproves of McDonald, an attorney and vice- president of the Detroit School Board, as fact-finder. KAPLAN AND other le;dejs charged that becanse McDen- ald's background is solely in management he is an inappro- priate selection and likely to be biased in favor of the Univer- sity. GEO will propose that fact- See 'U', Page 10' RP vo may have been scheduled so Regents could get a more accur- ate picture of his views. The Daily reported two weeks ago that Fleming, Saxon, and David Gardener were the lead- ing contenders for the presi- dency, but that Fleming did not appear to be the favorite. Sources indicated that Saxon and Gardener, who have both served in the nine campus U-C system, were the front runners because of their "insider" sta- tus. However,dGardener has re- portedly dropped from the running, and Fleming's name has been brought from oblivion to prominence. U-C REGENTS contacted by the Daily last night refused to comment on Fleming's can- didacy, or indicate whether he would again go to California. Another Regent U-C regent, William Smith of Los Angeles, said that the matter was cur- rently in "executive session". It is believed that Fleming is the choice of the more conser- vative regents on the highly split, highly political board while Saxon enjoys more lib- eral support. Again yesterday, a parody newspaper called the "Libera- ed" D a i I y was circulating around campus. That two-page sheet has no connection with the Michigan Daily. We neither assisted in its production nor knew about its existence until it was distributed. All quotes attributed to Michigan Daily staff members in the "Libera- ed" p a p e r were completely falsified, and were solely the creation of the authors who re- fused to sign their work. Regents deliberate in lengthy session By MARY HARRIS Comments on a proposed rise in dormitory rates for next year and reaction to the report of the Commission to Study Student Governance (CSSG) were the main business of yesterday's Board of Regents meeting. In a long, capacity-attendance meeting, the Regents heard arguments for and against the dorm rate hike, along with opposition to and praise for the CSSG recommendations. ALSO AT THE meeting were leaders of the Third World Coalition Council who presented a modified set of demands to President Robben Fleming, and read a joint statement from Fleming and themselves agreeing to commence negotiations Mon- day morning. The public comments session was dominated by GEO spokes- persons, who discussed the University Administration's conduct throughout the negotiatinig process. GEO spokesman Mark Kaplan explained that the union wanted the Regents to hear both sides of the story, since University Administration's information is likely to be biased. THE PROPOSED dormitory rate hike was attacked by the housing Rates Committee (HRC), four of whose members were present at the meeting. HRC members backed the report with data showing the University has higher dormitory rates than any other school in the Big Ten, and higher rates than any publically supported college in Michigan, but provides fewer services for the money than other schools. See BOARD, Page 7 r tes to support 1 By STEPHEN HERSH The Human Rights Party (HRP) voted overwhelmingly to support Frank Shoichet over unexpected primary winner Richard Ankli as its Second Ward City Council candidate, at a mass meet- ing last night. Shoichet will run a write-in campaign, if planned party efforts to have his name replace Ankli's on the ballot through City Council fail. "TO CALL ME anything but an underdog in this race would be foolish," Shoichet remarked after the vote. "But I'm going to work harder on it than I have on anything in my life."
