Old time religion Sen. Harold Hughes (D-Iowa) announced in Des Moines yesterday that he would not seek re-election in 1974 so he can become a religious lay worker. A former gover- nor elected to the Senate in 1968, Hughes has been a leader in the Congress'.anti-war effort as well as a staunch supporter of other liberal causes. In making his announcement at a press conference Hughes said, "Rightly or wrongly I believe I can reach more people through a spiritual approach more effectively than I have been able to achieve through the political ap- proach." Book banned The Board of Education of Cranby, Conn., a small New England hamlet has decided to ban Norman Mail- er's "The Naked and The Dead" from a high school reading list. "The most vital job any board of education can do is assuming that responsibility of what our stud- ents should study," said Joan Burns, one of the board members who approved the measure. "I want books they learn from -to be in better language than what they hear in the lavatory," she added. " Academic heaven Officials at the Coleridge Night School in Cambridge, England, have come up with the perfect course for to- day's ambitious college student. Entitled "The Art of Doing Nothing", the course allows students to either sit, sleep, read, write, doodle or simply gaze into space. The school plans to offer the course for a bargain rate of $3.75. The cheap price is possible, officials say, because the class won't have a professor. 0 Dope note According to London author and research sociologist John Auld, the days of marijuana in England may well be numbered. As a result of police crackdowns around the country Auld claims, the drug has become increas- ingly scarce and naturally more expensive. Auld pre- dicts that if the present trend continues cannibas will son acquire a status within the- drug scene like that traditionally assodiated with cocaine- "an exotic symbol of high living reserved for those who can both afford its high black market price and enjoy the kind of lifestyle where its use is relatively safe from detections by the police." 0 Et tit* President Nixon's fear of enemies, made famous in ight of the Watergate scandal, apparently extends even to members of his own family. The Washington Post yesterday reported that the President had the telephone of his brother, Donald Nixon, bugged for fear that his brother's financial activities might embarrass the White House.

SGC defy Soviets confiscate xn ti-S talin novel MOSCOW ()-The Soviet secret police (KGB) has seized an un- published novel by Alexander Solz- henitsyn, and thetwriter says he fears it will lead to persecution of some 200 persons named in the book. Solzhenitsyn, the 1970 Nobel laureate, said in a statement yes- terday that the KGB confiscated a typewritten copy of the novel in the "past few days" at Leningrad. THE NOVEL is about Stalinist labor camps. The author said a woman he identified as Yelizaveta Coronyan- skaya revealed the location of the manuscript after being interrogat- ed without interruption for five days. "When she returned home, she hanged herself," Solzhenitsyn said. His statement provided no further details on the woman. SOLZHENITSYN SAID the book is called "Arkhipelag GULAG" and is about Soviet labor camps in the years 1918 through 1956. The book, apparently of a docu- mentary nature, contains "only real facts, places and names of persons who are still alive - more than 200 persons," Solzhenitsyn said. He said he issued the statement because he fears that, with a copy of the book in the hands of the KGB, "persecution will begin for all of them for the information they gave 10 years ago about their tortures in Stalinist camps." THE TITLE of Solzhenitsyn's book, "Arkhipelag G U L A G," the Sovietacronym for the main administration of corrective labor camps. The novelist said in the interview that the KGB had threatened his life, but added that "my death will not make happy those people who count on my death to stop my lit- erary activities. "Immediately after my death, or immediately after I have disap- peared or have been deprived of my liberty," the novelist said, "my literary last will and testament will irrevocably come into force And then the main body of my works will start being published -works I have refrained from pub- lishing all these years." SOLZHENITSYN d e c 1 i n e d then to go into detail on this un- published body of works, but ap- parently copies have already been deposited in the West for safe- keeping. Western and Soviet readers got their first close look at Stalin's la- bor camps through a Solzhenitsyn novelette called "One Day In the Life of Ivan Denisovich," publish- ed in 1962. Publication of the book was per- mitted in the Soviet Union, but it and other Solzhenitsyn novels have since been banned. cads for t ui tilol strike to 24 per cent fee All suet asked to bOyCOtt first payment By DAN BIDDLE Student Government Council (SGC) last night called on students throughout the University to join in a tuition strike in defiance of the record 24 per cent tuition increase approved by the Regents this summer. Council President Lee Gill urged specifically that stu- dents seek a rollback of tuition to last year's levels by refusing to pay the first of three installments on their total fee assess- ment. AFTER BRIEF discussion, SGC worded resolution of support for a tuition strike of the student body" aimed at thwarting the mas- sive fee increase, which the reso- lution branded as a decision made "in secret, with total disregard for the well-being of the students." SGC plans to follow up the strike resolution today with distribution of leaflets urging students to "pocket your September tuition in- stallment," and petitions seeking pledges of support for the strike. Gill said SGC would attempt to "see where Joe Student is at" over the next few days and move to- ward announcing specific demands and actions sometime next week. THE WORDING of last night's declaration was left intentionally vague to allow room for discussion of strategy: While most of the Council members present lauded Gill's proposal to seek withholding of Sept. 28 fee payments, one mem- ber expressed fears about the con- sequences of "holding back the money we owe the University." Approval of the strike action came on the heels of Gill's impas- sioned plea Wednesday night to incoming freshmen to "join with the entire student body in the struggle against the University's tyranny" by withholding tuition money. Gill, speaking in a formal wel- coming ceremony attended by some 600 new students, was interrupted several times by applause as he asked his audience to "subtract the difference from last year (in tui- tion) and put it in your pocket . . and we can make them bend to us for once." ALLAN SMITH, the University's vice president for academic affairs, said Gill's Wednesday night decla- ration was "quite a shock to me. " "I doubt if it will be successful," Smith commented, but he admitted that massive withholding of tuition fees would "certainly create a crisis for the University." He refused to comment last night on what action the University might take in the face of substantial sup- port for SGC's call-to-arms, but chided Gill for "an inaccurate view of the situation.''

Greenbaum, assistant director and editor in the Michigan Memorial-Phoenix Project of the University, died suddenly at his home here yesterday. He was 43. Greenbaum, who was a writer most of his life, is best known for the articles he authored on the development of nuclear energy. The Phoenix Project, in which he play- ed a major role, is one of the best known nuclear research programs in the country. "DR. GREENBAUM w ill be sorely missed by the University," said Prof. William Kerr, director of the Phoenix Project. "In his role as assistant director of the Phoenix Project, Dr. Greenbaum participated in a wide range of- activities related to peaceful uses of nuclear energy . .. His warmth and perception as a human being and his interest in people made friends for him throughout the University and the community."' Greenbaum is survived by his widow, Judith, and four children. Funeral services will be held at 11:30 a.m. Friday at the Beth Israel Chapel. Greenbaum joined the University staff in 1953 as a teaching fellow in the department of English lan- guage and literature. He was a writer-producer with the University Television Center from 1958 to 1960. HE JOINED the Phoenix Project in 1960, and became assistant di- rector in 1964.

Chances for c n 10flct blues fest downplayed By DAVID STOLL As tonight's opening of the 1973 Blues and Jazz Festival neared, spokespersons for the festival and the city police attempted yesterday to allay fears of confrontation be- tween police and festival-goers. According to Police Chief Walter Krasny, 26 officers will be on hand at the event, which is expected to draw between 15,000 and 20,000 to the Otis Spann Memorial Field for each of five shows this weekend. The planned police presence rep- resents a dramatic increase over last year's level, when only a hand- ful of officers went inside the gates to guard cashboxes. WORRY OVER a confrontation between police and the crowd stems from statements made by Krasny and Mayor James Stephen- son indicating that the city would no longer tolerate the kind of mass marijuana law violations for which On the line: Students survive morning registration crunch Ann Arbor has become so famous. Following the arrest of two peo- ple at the ill-attended "Marijuana Melee" on the Diag last Saturday, Krasny declared that his depart- ment would "no longer tolerate the open trafficking of marijuana at public functions." Stephenson bacied Krasny, warn- ing that "when group violations are announced, the police aren't going to ignore it anymore." YESTERDAY, however, Krasny said he "doubted" that casual drug users would be bothered by the police unless they "deliberately flout themselves" before an officer. "We're aiming at the pill-push- ers," he explained. RMM spokespersons yesterday also discounted fears that the po- lice presence would lead to trouble. CALLING STEPHENSON'S and Krasny's statements a "provoca- tive act," RMM board chairman John Sinclair termed the issue of police at the festival "phony" and said, "We don't want to heat the situation up." "I'm not worried about the police Getting, there is half the fun for colleg.e officials LANSING (UPI) - College and university officials spend' more of the Michigan taxpayer's money on travel than all three branches of government combined, according to a study released today by Senate Republican Leader Robert Vander Laan.
