Fences explained In case you've been wondering about the unsightly fences that appeared over spring break along side the Grad library, a campus concentration camp is not in the wind. According to University Grounds Manager Kenneth Wanty, the fences were erected to enclose construction areas being set off for library renovation work. The fences next to the Grad library building will surround an elevator shaft and stored construction materials, and the fence across the path is for a field office trailer, Wanty says. However, the sign pictured below, which is attached to one corner of the fences, claims differently. Inteflex By JAMES SCHUSTER Last year John Ryskamp was a student in Inteflex, the University's new six-year program for students in medicine. Ryskamp says he dropped out of the program when Inteflex administrators ignored his needs as well as the stated goals of the new medical learning system. Over a year later it seems that students are still being stifled in a' program beset with problems. AFTER A particularly frustrating and unfruitful attempt to change a course requirement, Ryskamp wrote a letter to George Demuth, the head of the medical school portion of Inteflex. .."I wonder if they ever consider how much damage they might be doing to their own ideals and to their students by that type of activity," Ryskamp wrote. Inteflex is a relatively new program within the hurt by University. It began in the fall of 1972 and its aim is to enable high school graduates to complete their pre-medical and medical educations in a cohesive six-year program rather than in two distinct four- year segments. This is accomplished by combining the literary college and Medical School courses. Various faculty members differ in the goals they see for the Inteflex. One goal is to save students from the grade pressures and other hassles of apply- ing to medical school after the undergraduate years. It is also hoped that some course repetition can be eliminated. ANOTHER STATED GOAL IS to meet the current shortage of qualified physicians in the U. S. But Don- ald Brown, a coordinator of the program and director of Inteflex evaluation research, concedes that "it's not going to create more doctors by virture of being internal shorter." INTEFLEX WAS NAMED for the two supposed components of the program - integration of courses and flexibility in scheduling. It is also hoped that the program will train doctors to practice medicine instead of research. Brown says the pressure to practice must come from society, however, and that "colleges have very little effect" in this area. Most important of all, the program hopes to turn out more "humanistic" doctors who will view their patients as "individuals instead of test cases", ac- cording to several administrators of the Inteflex pro- gram. Associate Dean Charles Witke, the new LSA co- coordinator of Inteflex; says, "The goals of the pro- gram have not been fully defined." roblems After three full terms of operation, the question is asked: has the Inteflex program so far been a success? Without fail, every faculty member asked this question refused answer. Arthur Vander, Inteflex instructor and curriculum advisor, says, "I think it is important not to be too quick to criticize it - it's still in its infancy." However, one glaring inadequacy in the program has been the lack of cooperation between the Medi- cal School and LSA. There are many reasons given for the inability of the two schools to agree on such fundamentals as required curriculum. Brown cites the "different philosophical orienta- tions and methods" of the two schools as being the primary barrier. He also admits that other bases for the problem exist, but says he refuses to expose them See INTEFLEX, Page 2 TEAMWORK CLINCHES NCAA BERTH Cagers stuff oosiers, 75-67 Streak note In line with the national trend, the University will host two competing streak events today. The first, heralded as the "First Annual Ann Arbor Streak-In," is set for 1 p.m. Participants will -gather at Eden Foods at 330 Maynard, then streak through the Nichol's Arcade and over State St. to, but not across, the Diag. One organizer, who called himself "Dr. Ron, the Mid- night Streaker," insisted yesterday that this is the "official" event. However, a group entitled "The Com- mittee on Buffing-It," has scheduled a "First Annual Lucky Streak" for 10 p.m. starting. on the Diag and proceeding to South and West Quads and back. Elections set The Graduate Employes Organization (GEO) is off and running toward union status. Elections which could result in the group's recognition as the sole bargaining agent for the University's graduate employ'es will be held April 1, 2 and 3 under an agreement worked out last week between University officials, GEO and the Michigan Employment Relations Committee. With over 900 constituents on record as favoring the elections, GEO spokeswoman Devva Kasnitz claimed yesterday, "There's not a chance in the world we could lose." GEO needs the approval of 50 per cent of the University's 2,185 graduate employes to gain legal union status.

I } , , LA judgye may yield to federal authority WASHINGTON (P) - California authorities surrendered priority to federal indictments in the Ellsberg break-in case yesterday and agreed to ask that state conspi- racy-burglary chargesagainst John Ehrlichman and two others be dismissed. Superior Court Judge Gordon Ringer in Los Angeles, who has summoned President Nixon as a material witness in the case, must make the final decision. THE AGREEMENT to seek dis- missal of state charges against Ehrlichman, Gordon Liddygand David Young was announzed af'er Dist. Atty. Joseph Busch of Los Angeles and Special Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski met for an hour. Ehrlichman would remain under a perjury charge in Los Angeles, the agreement said because "it involves protection solely of a state interest." There was no further explanation. The state perjury charges stem- med from Ehrlichman's .lenial to the grand jury that he knew about or authorized the 1971 break-ia at the office of Dr. Lewis Fielding. EHRLICHMAN'S lawyers h a d sought Nixon's testimony to back their contention that Ehrlichman acted in his official capacity to prevent breaches of national se- curity. It was expected that dis- missal of the main charges would make the issue of presidential testimony moot. Young would be free of any charges should Ringer go along with the agreement. Liddy, already convicted and sentenced as a Watergate burglar and conspirator, is charged in the federal indictment returned last Thursday with conspiracy to vio- late Fielding's civil rights. "Among the reasons given for seeking to dismiss the s t a t e charges are that many of these issues involve matters of national interest and therefore wouldtbest be decided in the federal court system," said the joint Busch- Jaworski announcement. I Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Tremendous hustle, desire final minutes enabled the 21-4 Wol- verines to defeat Indiana for the second time in three 1974 meetings and advance to the NCAA tourna- ment for the first time since the Cazzie Russell era. The Wolverines never trailed in the contest as Bobby Knight's -scrappy crew just didn't have enough to catch Michigan, even when the incomparable Campy Russell headed benchward on fouls with 4:48 left in the game. AT THAT POINT, Michigan led by just two slim points, 60-58, L.td the howling partisan Indiana crowd here at "neutral" Assembly Hall sensed a closing Hoosier rally and that trip down to Alabama-but this was one trip neither scream- ing Hoosiers nor voting athletic directors could take away from the Wolverines. Wayman° Britt, who played what could be inadequately described as an inspired game, scored on a feed from Joe Johnson but Kent Benson hit a free throw and John Laskow- ski a short jumper to narrow the Blue lead to one. THE WOLVERINES brought the ball downcourt and proceeded to eat 1:06 off the clock with a weave before Hoosier Quinn Buckner ran into Britt with 2:14 to go. Wayman missed the charity toss, but C.J. Kupec skied for his 15th rebound of the game and tipped it in. Laskowski and Blue guard Steve Grote exchanged a basket for two free throws and the Wolverines still had just a three-point lead, 66-63, with 1:31 left. Then Joe Johnson got into the act just at the crucial moment. Within ten seconds, little Joe per- sonally turned the game around. In this brief span, the Detroiter lured Bob Wilkerson into a charg- ing call and seemingly in the next instant took an in-bounds pass, drovethe length of the floor for a basket as he was reduced to a crumbling heap by monstrous In- diana center Benson. AFTER STAGGERING to his feet, Johnson finished the three- See 'MS, Page 9 "1 Britt and Kupec star in surprising triumph. By MARC FELDMAN Special To The Daily CHAMPAIGN-The incredible Michigan Wolverines, who had already turned Midwest basketball on its collective ear by sharing the Big Ten title, added the final pumpkin to their Cinderella story by holding off the Indiana/ Hoosiers 75-67 for the right to meet Notre Dame in the National Collegiate Ath- letic Association (NCAA) MidEast regionals this Thursday in and clutch shooting In the Ford to speak at oraduation University alumni and U.S. Vice President Gerald Ford will address Spring Commencement on May 4. At the same ceremony he will receive the honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University. PRESIDENT Robben Fleming commented that "Vice President Ford is a distinguished citizen who has served the state well," and added that no speech topic has been set. Ford graduated from Yale Uni- versity Law School in 1941, and then returned home to Grand Rapids and politics. He won the post of U.S. repre- sentative in the Fifth District in 1948, and was regularly re-elected every two years until 1972. Then last October Ford resigned his position to become Vice Presi- dent and was replaced by the first Democrat in 64 years, Richard VanderVeen.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS: LSAc By ERIC SCHOCH The Commission on Graduation Requirements recom- mendation that fournhours credit be given for most literary school courses drew considerable debate yesterday at a sparsely attended college-wide forum on the Com- mission's report. ' faces gas crisis;* moves to ease pinch1 By SARA RIMER A gasoline crisis may hit the University by mid week if officials are unable to supplement the March allocation of 17,000 gallons for University vehicles. That amount, which is 70 per cent of the 1972 quota, was depleted at the rate of 1,000 gallons per day between March 1 and 7. At the present rate of consumption the entire March allocation would be used up in five days. In describing the problem, John an Tassell, supervisor of plant purchasing, said, "All of a sudden, we are in an energy crisis up to our elbows." UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS are attempting to avoid the crisis in two areas. The Purchasing Department is soliciting supplies from Standard, Gulf, Arco, and 13 other gasoline companies to add to that of Texaco, the University's present supplier. le bates Despite LSA Dean Frank Rhodes suggestion that afternoon classes be cancelled to enable students to comment on the comprehensive re- port issued two weeks ago, most of those attending were professors and only two or three students ac- tually spoke during the two and a half hour forum. Members of the Commission, which studied most aspects of "the present nature and future status of the baccalaureate degree" for over a year, fielded questions and cri- ticisms from the audience and at- tempted to clarify several of the report's recommendations. SEVERAL PROFESSORS ar- gued that the four credit hour course standard would be too rigid and would lead to a devalu- ation of the University's bacca- laureate degree as a result of the process of repackaging three credit hour courses to four hours. Members of the Commission de- fended the proposal, noting that some courses would be offered for two hours credit. Additionally, it was pointed out that the four cred- it hour standard would reduce the need for students to take more than four courses per term. THE REPORT'S recommenda- tion that at least one half of the report ments would enable students to take all of their distribution re- quirement courses in a single field. Despite the specific questions and criticisms directed toward some aspects of the report, the overall thrust of the report was generally praised as a "good ba- sis for constructive change," as one speaker put it. The LSA faculty will meet next Monday, March 18, and probably March 25 as well as its regular monthly meeting April 1 to form- ally discuss and take action on the commission report.
