The dean' plans to return to full-time teaching and re- search' in the school. Since he came to his present post in July, 1970, McFadden has seen the school grow from 662 students to nearly 1,000-largely in response to the growing interest in the environment. In his resignation statement, he said the school "is approaching a size and composition which will enable it to make a unique con- tribution towards solution of environmental problems which confront the world." Academic Affairs Vice Presi- dent Allan Smith said the search for McFadden's suc- cessor will begin "immediately."

" Watergate merry-go-round The President stayed down in Florida yesterday, con- cerning himself with the Middle East war and sending off statements reassuring people he won't resign. Mean- while, in Washington, Acting Atty. Gen. Robert Bork told the House Judiciary Committee that the new Water- gate prosecutor-Leon Jaworski-will be able to take any steps he feels necessary, including going to court, to get important documents. Sen. Peter Dominick (R-Colo.) broke publicly with the President, urging his GOP com- panions to proclaim independence from the White House. In other Watergate developments, Watergate prosecutors disclosed that John Dean had shredded two notebooks from E. Howard Hunt's safe, and Judge John Sirica indicated he would reject motions by Hunt and four others to withdraw their guilty pleas. Kissinger on Mideast Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, traveling in the Middle East in an effort to stem renewed fighting, stop- ped over in Morocco yesterday to talk with King Hassan II. Today, Kissinger planned stops in Tunisia and Egypt. The three major parties in the conflict-Israel, Egypt and Syria-have warned that combat would erupt again unless diplomacy can be made to work. Weapons bill approved The Senate yesterday okayed a $21.3 billion weapons bill which gives the Nixon administration almost every- thing they wanted in terms of weapons research and development, and military manpower levels. The Senate, howpver, attached a rider requiring the government to keep eight Public Service Hospitals, in operation. Nixon earlier vetoed an emergency medical services bill which carried a similar provision. Only 12 Senators, including William Proxmire (D-Wisc.), voted against the bill, which allocates $2.2 billion for Israel and another $200 million for Cambodia. 0 Et tu, Jaworski? Special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski once ap- proved the use of a Houston foundation to launder money at the request of the CIA, the foundation's president said yesterday., Jaworski, who was sworn in yesterday, issued a terse denial through his office, but acknowledged to a Houston newspaper that he may have played a part in the conduit arrangement. John Freeman, president of the M. D. Anderson Foundation of Houston, said that the group had channeled more than $600,000 to an international lawyer's group in the late 1950 and early 1960s after being requested to do so by a CIA represen- tative, whom he did not name. One of the matters under the jurisdiction of Jaworski's special prosecution force, of course, is the still-lingering question of the CIA's role in the Watergate wiretapping and subsequent cover-up. Court ducks sexism case The Supreme Court ducked a case brought by women's rights advocates seeking to outlaw "men only" policies in public accommodations. The appeal to the court came after a U.S. Circuit Court in New Orleans ruled that a liquor license held by a men-only bar was not -sufficient state involvement to invoke the 14th Amendment's pro- hibition of state action denying equal protection of the laws. Justice William Douglas cast the only dissenting vote in the decision. The High Court also refused to hear an appeal by a group of Maryland parents that a court- orderedaschool desegregation plan violated their rights as "Anglo-Americans." On the iside .. .

The LSA governance pro posal, sponsored by LSA Stu dent Government Vice Presi dent Chuck Barquist and En glish Prof. Marvin Felheim would have completely revo lutionized the governing fac ulty. IN PLACE OF a "town meeting of LSA professors - the preser literary college governing body- the plan allowed for a represents tive unit, which would have in cluded50 faculty members electe by their departments and 50 mene bers elected from the student body At the same meeting, Universit President Robben Fleming an nounced that the University woul issue a clarification tomorrow ex plaining in-state residency criteri and stipends for teaching fellows. Fleming's promise to produce definitive statement comes in th wake of a teaching fellows' protes against the, Regents' decision t abolish in-state tuition for non resident teaching fellows as well a the recent record tuition hike. FLEMING DID not specify wha the statement would say, but h did claim he could "reasonabl predict they'd be pleased with wha is said in the document as< whole." Another document will be is sued in December with quantita tive reports on the effect in in-stat residency 'revisiois on student and teaching fellows, and Flemin said the community would be "as tonished". More than 30 students attende the meeting to support the mea sure and played a significant par during, the discussion - in bot official and unofficial capacities. y a al g i- 1, it IN A DESPERATE attempt to keep discussion alive, they object- ed when faculty members tried to bring the issue to a vote. Faculty members were quick to jump to the defensive, demanding that the students not be heeded since they were not voting mem- bers. There was much eloquent as well as spontaneous support-for the pro- posal among the students. "THIS IS A critical trial of reject rity on faculty DET.

Nearly 30 people addressed coun- cil at the two-hour public hearing and the vast majority of them condemned the alteration as not in the city's best interests. SPEARHEADING the a t t a c k were representatives from the In- ter-Cooperative Council (ICC) and various fraternities and sororities. Several businessmen and realtors spoke in favor of the proposed change. The rezoning, if approved by council, will permit 42 Greek houses in the Washtenaw-South University area to be used as boarding houses, which are cur- rently prohibited under the present zoning classification.

The proposed ordinance-which has already been tabled twice- was bro'ght to the attention of the council by petition. Ypsilanti law reeliires the signatures of a num- ber equal to 20 per cent of those voting in the last mayoral election. Backers of the ordinance got 921 signatures although only 356 were ne'-ded.

THE CITY Planning Department and Planning Commission have en- dorsed the alteration because they believe Greek life is declining in the city and the houses are cur- rently "underutilized."

The suit, filed by 12 council mem- bers from the Campus Coalition, Screw SGC, and Mad Hatter's Tea Party, claims that Gill "is not a student at the University of Mich- igan for this term and was not en- rolled for the full term previous to this term." Complainants refer to public University records as evidence. THE SUIT was signed by Cam- pus Coalition member Robert M4atthews, who raised SGC's first anti-Gill resolution which charged Gill with embezzlement. Matthews later admitted that he had no cn- crete evidence for the embez'le- ment charge. A preliminary hearing before CSJ, the main judiciary body on campus, is scheduled for this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Besides removing Gill from of- fice, the suit, if approved, would direct the SGC Administrative Sec- retary to inform all the financial institutions with which SGC las transactions that Gill is no langer a council .member, and would di- rect officials to remove Gill's name from all SGC accounts. THE CRUCIAL question behind a settlement of the suit, however, is whether Gill is considered a student by the University, and further what constitutes a "full term." According to SGC's All-Campus Constitutioni, c o u n c i 1 members, "shall consist of currently enroiled students, or students who were enrolled in the previous full term." An investigation of the public studentregistration recordsbat three University offices-Acaaemic Records, Statistical Services, an Student Certification, has reveale that Lee Gill is not a currently enrolled student at the University but was enrolled last winter term FURTHERMORE, Gill attende school, in the LSA program, thi summer, but dropped out July 1F after most of the term was cam pleted. Complainants for the presen anti-Gill suit allege that tie spring summer terms constitute a "fu term." If they are correct, there fore, Gill would be in violationo the constitutionalbprovision refer ring to the "previous full erm."
