Regents confer
The Regents gather here today and tomorrow for their
monthly schedule of meetings. Topping this round's
agenda is a proposal to reorganize the University's ath-
letics operation that, if passed, would make intramural,
club and recreational sports a separate division and
create an assistant directorship and a budget for
women's intercollegiate athletics. The Regents will also
discuss a plan to make Stockwell coed next fall. A
recent Medical Center Review Committee Report which
suggested establishment of an Allied Health Professions
school and a vice presidency for health affairs will also
be a topic this month. The Board meets in the Regents'
Room on the first floor of the Administration Bldg. Open
meetings include a Public Discussion at 2 p.m. today
followed by a Public Comments Session at 4, and a
public meeting tomorrow at 11 a.m.

Nixon's health OK
President Nixon yesterday
was pronounced physically,
and emotionally well after '
an annual physical checkup
that took on political o v e r-
tones because of the pres-
sures of the Watergate scan- r
dal. The 61-year-old Nixon -
who says he will not resign
as long as he is phyically
able to carry on his jot) - isf
in "excellent shape," his doc-
tor, Air Force Maj.-Gen. Wal-
ter Tkach, reported after the
two and one half hour exam-
ination. Six specialists exam-
ined the President at t h e
nearby Bethesda Naval Hos
pital. "There is no evidence
whatsoever of mental strain,
and I don't see any evidence
of physical strain." Tkach re-
ported. He added that the
President was in "a very
good frame of mind."
Navy racism?
Ten black American seamen charged with assaulting
white sailors in a race riot aboard the 6th Fleet flag-
ship Little Rock accused the U.S. Navy of racism yes-
terday and said they were being denied a fair trial. The
seamen blamed the violence that broke out Nov. 8
aboard the guided missile light cruiser, on tensions that
built up in a month at sea during the Middle East
war because the captain allegedly failed to act on their
complaints of racism. The ten seamen and an eleventh
black sailor charged in an earlier incident aboard the
cruiser said at a news conference in a Naples hotel
that they considered their impending court-martial il-
legal because it was convened by Capt. P. K. Cullins,
45, commander of the Little Rock, who was directly
involved in the incident.

HPC
By STEPHEN HERSH
The Housing Policy Committee
(HPC) has taken issue with the
Housing Office's recommendation
that the rising cost of maintenance
and services be offset by an eight
per cent dorm fee increase for
1974-75.
Members of HPC, a student-
faculty policy board, contend that
the Housing Office could cover in-
flated costs by either enconomiz-
ing in non-vital areas of next year's
budget or dipping into monies
which normally are deposited else-
where.
THE BUDGET suggestions from
HPC have added a new angle to
fig/ts
increase
In
dorm
A ternate budgets proposed to forestall 8% hide
the growing dispute over the role
of student policy boards in Uni-
versity decision-making, with hous-
ing officials maintaining that HPC
and similar groups can only offer
advice, not policy.
Such measures as replacement
of professional dorm employes with
student workers, and removal of
such operations as the Student
Activities Building,ahave been sug-
gested by HPC to reduce Housing
expenditures.
These measures could, in the
committee's view, balance inflat-
ing prices on such items as food,
electricity, and sewage treatment.
The committee suggests that if
these cutbacks wouldn't be enough
to stem higher costs, inflating
prices cannot be balanced, deficits
should be covered with monies
normally deposited into the Build-
ing and Equipment ("B and E")
fund for major dorm repairs, and
the General Student Resident Re-
serve .(GSRR) for excess housing
money.
ACCORDING to HPC member
Ron Beck, there are two factors
of equal importance behind the
committee's position. First, fol-
lowing Vice President for Student
Services Henry Johnson's descrip-
tion of the committtee as "merely
an advisory board," HPC fears it
may have practicaully no control
over how "B and E" and GSRR
monies are spent.
The committee says it will not
approve allocations into funds that
it may not control in the future.
The second factor behind the
anti-fee increase position is de-
scribed by HPC member David
Faye: "I think it's absolutely ri-
diculous to force students to pay
higher rates when the extra money
needed is available from eise-
where."
An eight per cent hike would
mean a rate increase of approxi-
mately $100 for each dorm resi-
dent.
ASSOCIATE Director of Housing
Claude Orr maintains that spend-
ing the funds that would normally
be deposited into GSRR and "B
rates
and E" is unfeasible.
Orr says that the student housing
repair budget, which pre-supposes
normal 1974-75 GSRR deposits, will
create a GSRR deficit. He holds
that the GSRR money must be
deposited because it is needed
desperately.
Director of Housing John Feld-
kamp states that implementing a
plan including probable failure to
make "B and E" deposits for next
year would be "acting in bad
faith, and acting illegally." He
cites the University's bond inden-
ture mortgages with the Detroit
bank that loaned the dorm con-
struction funds.

Oil

I-
signing,

By AP and Reuter
WASHINGTON - The tur-
bulent 13-nation Washington
energy conference ended yes-
terday with an agreement to
meet quickly with producer
nations to ease the oil crisis.
Although France objected
to key provisions, Secretary
of State Henry Kissinger
called the three-day meeting
a complete success.
FRANCE disagreed on many
points but signed the communique
as a whole.
The efforts to compromise the
French views with those of the
other 12 nations sent the confer-
ence, originally scheduled only for
Monday and Tuesday, into a third
day of sessions.
At a news conference after the
last session, French foreign minis-
ter Michel Jobert indicated he
felt that the proposals went be-
yond common Market principles,
which provide for an economic, not
a political community.
JOBERT complained that he
"never quite understood the na-
ture of this conference and as a
matter of fact, as the days passed
by, I never could find out what
the nature should be."
All of the foreign ministers, in-
cluding France, agreed that solu-
tions to the world's energy psrob-
lems should be sought in consulta-
tion with the producer countries.
The American-promised compro-
mise machinery which France ob-
jected to established a coordinat-
ing group headed by senior offic-
ials. The group was instructed to
"direct preparations of a confer-
ence of consumer and producer
countries which is to be held at the
earliest possible opportunity and
which, if necessary, will be pre-
ceded by a further meeting of
consumer countries."
FRANCE DISSENTED, but the
remaining 12 nations all "concur-
red in the need for a comprehen-
sive action program to deal with
all facets of the world energy situ-
ation by cooperative measures."
Kissinger emphatically declared
the United States does not con-
sider itself to be in a confronta-
tion with France. He said he had
read some articles in the Euro-
pean press about a divorce be-
tween France and the United
States. "That is absolutely not
true," he said.
KISSINGER told reporters that
he thinks international efforts to
meet the energy crisis will result

By CHARLES COLEMAN
Students in. University Housing
have gathered forces and started
a campaign urging dorm residents
to boycott non-union grapes as well
as non-union lettuce.
The campaign, which has been in
the planning for almost three weeks
now, varies from dorm to dorm.
However, the main goal of the
organizers has been to obtain sig-
natures on petitions circulating
throughout the dorms which call
for the University Housing Council
(UHC) to approve the boycott of
non-union grapes in the residence
halls. The group of students plan
to present the petitions to UHC
on Feb. 26.
THE PETITION simply calls for
the addition of grapes to the
United Farm Workers (UFW) boy-
cott of lettuce already in effect in
the dorms.
If approved ,the boycott would
last for an indefinite amount of
time, as long as the nationwide
boycott continues and no substan-
tial interest in revoking the boy-
cott appears.
This latest effort to support the
UFW- boycott comes at a time
when even the lettuce boycott in
residence halls has come under
fire.
Conservative elements in the
dorms have, within the past year,
circulated petitions to put lettuce
back on the dinner tables. When
the issue arose in UHC, it was
narrowly vetoed and the boycott
reaffirmed.

ernment Council meeting, Council-

Valentine peddlers id lovers'

By SARA RIMER
Judging from Valentine's Day sales, Ann Arbor
is one helluva loving town. Shoppers are rushing
to buy everything from the traditional sweetheart
cards to Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex.
According to Chris Swanson, manager of Logos <
gift shop, many of the more popular cards this
year feature the "Peanuts" characters because
they have a "nice blend of reality and humor."
One typical card finds Charlie Brown saying,
"I got to thinking about you at lunchtime today.
And I got so excited . . . I tied my peanut butter g
sandwich in a knot."
