The winning numbers in the special "second chance" drawing are 569 and 538. 0 Suden tuition protest backed The Organization of Teaching Fellows (OTF) last night voted its "common interest" with other students in their fight against the tuition hike. That common interest was called into question last week when Uni- versity President Robben Fleming announced that $2 million of a $3.75 million surplus generated, according to Fleming, by excess tuition revenues, would be allo- cated to meet, TF's financial demands. The TF vote followed the arrival of half a dozen Student Action Com- mittee (SAC) members at an OTF meeting in the Rack- ham Building. SAC members, organizers of the now- dead tuition strike, at first accused the TFs of "taking the money and running." Confrontation was ultimately averted, however, by agreement that both groups and their constituencies were being "manipulated" by the University into opposing one another. SAC slates rally The Student Action Committee (SAC) has called for a demonstration today at 11 a.m. at the Administration Bldg. The protest is aimed at the Regents, who will be meeting this morning to divvy up the University's giant surplus generated by the massive 24 per cent tuition hike. Impeachment support The local Impeach Nixon Committee has scheduled a town meeting in support of the impeachment of Presi- dent Nixon for tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Rackham Aud. Speakers include County Commissioner Kathleen Fotjik, State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor), and former state NAACP Chairman Albert Wheeler, among others. Also, the committee is circulating petitions to be sent to U.S. Rep. Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) to urge him to vote "yes" on impeachment. The petitions are avail- able for signing or distribution at the committee's head- quarters, Rm 3X of the Union. Teaching machines doomed Most of us will remember teaching machines as just another fad from the sixties: They were supposed to "revolutionize" education by providing a "scientific" method of teaching above and beyond the talents of us poor humans; and they eventually faded away like Silly Putty and Etch-A-Sketches. Noted University psychology Prof. Wilbert McKeachie predicted yesterday that com- puterized teaching will remain out of the picture per- manently, because of the innate inability of a ma- chine to recognize such importanteducational factors as motivation and reinforcement. McKeachie said their current worth, in his opinion, is "less than hula hoops." City gets U.S. lab Ann Arbor has been selected as the site for a proposed National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administra- tion regional center, it was announced yesterday. The center would include a fisheries office, data service facility and research laboratory, and would provide about 250 jobs for area residents. The center is still in planning stages, however, and construction will not start until federal funding is finally approved and a definite site for the facility is selected.

Several Senators say Nixon Richardson Ialled liar WASHINGTON UP) - Presi- dent Nixon claims former Atty. Gen. Elliot Richardson lied in sworn testimony about Richardson's role in the oust- er of special Watergate Pro- secutor Archibald Cox, several Republican senators said yes- terday. The White House denied that the President had called Richardson a liar, said the senators had misunderstood his remarks and added that Nixon had only told the GOP leaders that the former attor- ney general had given one of several versions of events' sur- rounding the Cox ouster. NIXON MADE the claim, and raised a question of whether the Senate Judiciary Committee would seek action against the former at- torney general, during a session with 15 Republican senators Wednesday night, the senators said. The White House said it was un- trueethat Nixon hadcalled for a Senate investigation of possible perjury and contended that matter was raised first by one of the sen- ators in response to the conflict be- tween the White House and Rich- ardson versions. Richardson said in a statement he stands on his testimony before the committee and added there is "no basis at all" for a White House claim he had oroginated the move to restrict Cox. THE SENATORS who quoted Nixon as saying Richardson had lied declined to be identified. They said the President did not expand on his statement that the former, attorney general had lied before the committee but turned the explanation of his contention over to the White House chief of staff, Alexander Haig. According to three senators at the White House meeting, Haig disputed Richardson's committee testimony that Richardson opposed a White House order for Cox to cease efforts in federal court to ob- tai tapes and documents in Water- gate-related probes. HAIG SAID that, in fact, Rich- ardson had been an originator of a proposal to limit Cox's probe, the senators reported. Meanwhile, Nixon pushed his Watergate counter-attack in public and private yesterday and drew standing cheers from his largest audience in three months when he vowed anew to remain in office. Appearing before an overflow crowd of several thousand at the National Association- of Realtors convention in Washington, Nixon accentuated the happy develop- ments of the year, from his stand- point, and soft-pedaled discussion of the Watergate scandals, which he referred to simply as "the prob- lem of the campaign of 1972."

AP Photo peacekeep- a disputed raise their Middle East POW exchange underway By REBECCA WARNER An outside research agency has recommended that the University establish an independent campus police force. The proposal is part of a report solicited by the University Council, a student-faculty advisory body that President Robben Fleming consults on such issues as Univer- sity security. THE $17,000 STUDY, prepared by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IAPC), proposes that the University Department of Safety beenlarged to include 164 security and police officers who would hold legal police authority. The expansion would cost the University an additional $700,000 in security funding and would abolish present contracts with the city police department and the Burns International Security Service for campus patrol operations. Under the plan's specifications, the director of safety would report directly to the University's presi- dent and chief financial officer, in an attempt to consolidate and clari- fy lines of authority. MEMBERS OF THE council stress that no decision hasbeen made on the recommendations. "The University Council will con- sult widely with individuals and groups in the University commun- ity about the report," says newly- elected council Chairman Charles Morris, psychology professor and associate dean of the literary col- lege. The groups plans to gather re- sponses from such organizations as the Student Government Council, and reconsider the proposal at its Dec. 4 meeting. After consultations are finished, the recommenda- tions will be sent to Fleming and eventually to the Board of Regents for approval and funding. THE IAPC REPORT, prepared after extensive interviewing of se- curity personnel, students and Uni- versity employes, concludes that University security service is pre- sently "fragmented" by unclear lines of authority. In a 100-page statement, IAPC investigators claim they found widespread dis- satisfaction with the present secur- ity set-up in the University com- munity. Presently, the University's secur- ity operation combines a special campus unit of 24 city police of- ficers with approximately 30 hous- SGC budgets $200 to Jewish newsletter after stormy debate ing and hospital security guards, and 65 part and full-time Burns guards. Fourteen employes of the De- partment of Safety co-ordinate se- curity forces. In total, security costs the University $1.3 million per year. Adopticn of the IAPC pro- posal would increase the cost to more than $2 million. IN RECENT YEARS, c r i m e rates have risen sharply on cam- pus. Crimes such as aggravated assault and auto theft increased by See 'U', Page 7 By Reuter Wounded Egyptian and Israeli war prisoners were flown home yesterday atsthestartfofwa mas- sive prisoner exchange airlift be- tween Cairo and Tel Aviv as the Middle East ceasefire agreement began taking hold. At the same time, the United Nations peacekeeping command in Cairo reported that Israeli troops had handed over their checkpoints on the Cairo-Suez road to UN troops. THE PRISONER exchange - ex- pected to continue for about a week in a series of two-way mercy airlifts-and the handing over of the checkpoints at Kilometer 101 and 119, removed major obstacles blocking the way to implementa- tion of the six-point Middle East casefire agreement signed bye Is- rael and Egypt last Sunday. Agreement to start the exchange of prisoners captured during last month's war was reached Wednes- day at a meeting between military representatives from Egypt and Israel at Kilometer 101. The International Red Cross, which is handling the air lift, flew 45 wounded Egyptians from Tel Aviv while another plane took 26 Israelis from Cairo to Tel Aviv. LATER IN the day, a Red Cross spokesperson reported that a sec- ond planeload of more than 250 Egyptian prisoners-including some wounded-had been flownfrom Tel Aviv 'to Cairo's military airport. A third planeload of freed prison- ers was due in Cairo later yester- day. But the spokesperson said that the Egyptians had decided that the next airlift of Israeli pris- oners home would not be until to- morrow when about 30 were due to be flown to Tel Aviv. A UN spokesperson, Rudoif Staj- duhar, told a press conference in were carried on stretchers aboard the Red Cross plane. The Israelis all wore bright striped pajamas and had their heads cropped-possibly for hos- pital hygiene purposes. STAJDUHAR SAID that arrange- ments were also under way to start evacuating E g y p t i a n civilians wounded from Suez town yester- day. A spokesperson reported that a convoy of 24 trucks had left check- point 101 for Suez town carrying food, water and medical supplies. He said that Maj. Gen. Ensio Silvasuo, commander of the UN emergency force, yesterday attend- ed an informal meeting between See MIDDLE, Page 3 By STEPHEN SELBST Student Government C o u n c i 1 appropriated $200 last night for the establishment of a Jewish student newsletter after more than an hour of heated debate that frequently degenerated into: personal attacks on members. Later, the meeting was halted when several SGC members left the council chambers in order to prevent a vote on a resolution voicing opposition to the Univer- sity's affirmative action policy. THE RESOLUTION had been proposed by council member Matt Hoffman. Debate on the newsletter center- ed on two points-whether Jews represent a minority on this cam- pus, and therefore whether SGC should appropriate money from its Minority Affairs Budget. Henry Clay, SGC's vice-president for minority affairs appeared last week at the Council meeting and said that in his opinion Jews did not constitute a minority according to HEW guidelines. HEW guide- lines, Clay explained, recognize blacks, Chicanos, and Asian-born students as minorities. HOFFMAN, a member of' the Screw SGC party, maintained that Jews are a legitimate minority on campus, even though he admitted that there "may be as many as 6,000 Jews on campus," out of a total of 38,000 students. Ted Liu, director of Asian af- fairs, voiced concern at the pro- cedure SGC was following iri cir- cumventing the existing structures of the council. In other action, SGC heard re- ports from a number of its various committees and officers. Rose- mary Mullin, the SGC treasurer issued a'report on the state of SGC finances. Her report stated that SGC is currently in the red to the tune of between $5900 to $7200. The margin involved is due to a disputed bill which SGC has not paid. The meeting broke up early as a number of members left, and the council lacked a quorum. The room was emptying, and quorum was called once. When it was discover- ed that a quorum still existed SGC member Dan Fishman left to make sure that a quorum no longer existed. COUNCIL HAD been considering whether to go on record opposing the University's affirmative action policy. Apparently the Fishmans left to make sure the council would not take a vote on this issue. "I feel really bad about resort- ing to such tactics, but they were necessary," said Marcia Fishman after the meeting. "I had to go to the bathroom," quipped Dan Fishman. BUSINESS GRO UPS DECIDE City cuts Christmas lights By CHIP SINCLAIR You may be dreaming of a white Christmas this year, but in one respect it definitely won't be a bright one-the city has decided to dispense with Christmas lights. The c i t y business associations decided in a joint meeting recently to eliminate the outdoor Christmas lights that in the past have deco- rated the city in an effort to help fight the energy crisis. SO YOU WILL not see the usual 30-foot Christmas trees strung with lights studding Main Street and other citydthoroughfares. Paul Kizer, president ofthe Downtown Business and Develop- ment Association, said that al- though his group had alreadycom- mitted itself to $1,000 worth of Christmas light replnaments. thev ilar cutbacks on outdoor lighting. Arborland plans to eliminate out- door Christmas lighting and dim outdoor parking lights. Briarwood plans no outdoor deco- rations, according to promotion di- rector Dorris Sorensen. The shop- ping center will only operate its normal parking lot lights. SORENSEN SAID t h a t since Briarwood store fronts are all in- side under one roof, the mall could have decorations with the existing store lights. She said that the center would cut the number of indoor Christ- mas lights in half or simply oper- ate them half the amount of time as usual. Generally, the merchants do not think the lack of lights will affect Cristmas husinaes ping during the day, rather than at night. "But if anything stops people from buying this year, it will be inflation and not the lights," she said.
