Purchasers of the new University student directory - which went on sale yesterday - may have noticed something slightly odd about the cover. The full page foto which graces the directory depicts students congregating on the Diag. What's funny about it, is their appearance - crew cut hair styles and knee length skirts. The picture, it turns out, is at least seven years old. Why, do may ask, does the 1973-74 directory feature a seven-year-old pic- ture? According to the folks at the information service, the foto comes from their "campus life" file which has not been updated since 1966._ County backs impeachment Washtenaw County's Democratically-controlled Board of Commissioners jumped on the impeachment band- wagon Wednesday night, but before they did, the board's Republican members had bailed out. Commissioner Kathy Fojtik (D-Ann Arbor) introduced a mion dcalling for impeachment of Nixon. But before it could come to a vote, four of the board's six GOP members decided to take a walk rather than stick around and see the measure passed. The resolution, which will be forward- ed to Congress, states that the President should be im- peached because there is "considerable public evi- dence" that he "may have participated" in the follow- ing crimes: perjury, bribery, unauthorized wiretapping, obstruction of criminal investigations and conspiracy against the rights of citizens.

There was no indication from the White House why the Presi- dent decided to leave so suddenly, but there was specu- lation he was incensed at the snowballing criticism following yesterday's stranger-than-fiction announcement that two crucial Watergate tapes were not available. It was apparently the first time during Nixon's presidency that he left the five reporters and two photographers who ride Air Force 1 holding the bag. " Irish govt. faces crisis The Irish government plunged into a major political crisis yesterday following the helicopter escape of three Irish Republican Army chiefs from a top security prison in Dublin. Prime Minister Liam Cosgrave, facing his worst domestic trouble since he took office seven months ago, called an emergency Cabinet meeting and told po- lice and military chiefs he was personally taking charge of the hunt for the escapees. Sources said Cosgrave and his government were. "severely shocked and embar- rassed." The main opposition party, meanwhile, Fianna Fail, denounced the government's "incompetence in se- curity matters." Sunday driving scotched Dutch "Sunday drivers" risk incurring penalties of up to six years imprisonment and about $541,500 - that is, 100,000 guilders - newspapers in The Hague warned yesterday. The ban applys to all Sunday motor vehicle traffic starting this weekend that doesn't have a spec- ial permit. The indefinite restriction is part of a series of measures to economize on oil and gasoline consump- tion, which it is hoped will be reduced by 10 per cent. "Of course, these look like very stiff penalties," said a ministry spokesman yesterday, "but you should re- member that it will be the discretion of the court judge to adjust the penalty according to the circumstances af- ter hearing evidence." Poetic justice It was a freakish accident, but not without its poetic justice. New York police reported yesterday that two gunmen forced their way into a man's car at an inter- section and made the driver sit between them. Simul- taneously, they drew and fired their revolvers at their victim - unfortunately they also shot each other in the process. One of the gunmen, who was described as hav- ing links with the Carlo Gambino crime family, was listed in critical condition, while the other gunmen and his victim were reportedly seriously hurt at Long Island University Hospital. 0 On the inside * .Chuck Barquist discusses LSA governance re- form on the Editorial Page . ..

Each of these areas will be studied by a subcommittee of at least three members, including two students and one faculty or staff member. The subcommittee will report to and work as a part of the commit- tee as a whole. THE COMMITTEE to Study Stu- dent Governance (CSSG) will have a total of 14 student members. The constituencies to be repre- sented are: School of Graduate Studies (one member), Undergrad- uate Schools (two members), pro- fessional schools (one member), SGC (two members), the Panhel- lenic Association (one member), the Fraternity Coordinating Coun- cil (one member), Commuter Stu- dents (one member), Residence Hall Students (one member), Ath- letic Community (one member), Married Students (one member), Student S e r v i c e s Policy Board (one member) and Student Rela- tions Committee (one member). The various constituencies, who have not yet been notified of the invitation to serve on CSSG, will choose their own representatives. THEY WILL BE asked to notify Johnson of their participation and choice of representatives by Nov. 12. The first meeting will be sched- uled for the following week. Four staff members and four wobe faculty members will be noini- nated as well. Johnson, who will chair the committee, will elact the members from among those nominated. Johnson was quick to clarify that CSSG is "not intent on patch- ing up or wiping out SGC." "WE'RE., TRYING to improve student government-in whatever form that takes," said Johnson. The formation of the CSSG dur- ing last month's Regents' meeting was a surprise to everyone-par- ticularly SGC, who was not con- sulted on the matter.

Gen., pr'osecutor By AP and Re nter. WASHINGTON-Tapes of President Nixon's conversations which covered the period of a crucial missing meeting with John Dean were turned over to a presidential aide four months ago, a U.S. court was told yesterday. Nixon claimed Wednesday that he had recently discovered that no tapes exist of the April 15 meeting with Dean. The White House said the Nixon-Dean meeting went unrecorded because of a malfunction in the secret system of recording all discussions in the president's office. In other Watergate-related developments, President Nixon, as ex- pected, named Ohio Republican Senator William Saxbe to be attorney general. And Nixon appointed a 68-year-old Texas trial lawyer, Leon Jaworski, to be the new Watergate special prosecutor. He promised to give Jaworski full cooperation and not fire him without consulting Congres- sional leaders from both parties. The new bombshell concerning the allegedly missing tapes was dropped by Raymond Zumalt, a Secret Service technician who testified in federal court that White House Aide Stephen Bull took possession of 22 tapes including the Dean tape, last July. Zumwalt said the tapes taken by Bull apparently covered all recorded presidential conversations between early March and late April. Bull withdrew the tapes on July 11 and returned them on July 12. the Secret Service agent said. Nixon's conversation with Dean on April 15 was considered crucial to discovering whether Dean was correct when he 'testified before the Doily Photo by KEN FINK Ghostly campers? that great campground in the sky.

The record of the meeting was one of nine tapes President Nixon last week agreed to provide to Watergate Judge John Sirica, after insisting for months that he would never give up the tapes. The White House yesterday pro- posed-and Judge Sirica agreed- that electronic experts should ex- amine the Presidential tapes to determine whether they had been tampered with. White House Lawyer Fred Buz- hardtalso'offered to let Judge Sirica listen to recordings of presi- dential conversations preceding the Dean meeting so that he could hear for himself that the tape ran out before the NixonrDean conversation took place.
