Fifteen participants took part in total, with from three to six playing at all times. Players said they knew of no world record for marathon poker, but they thought it highly unlikely that their session was the longest ever. 9 Guidelines issued Assistant to the Vice President for Academic Affairs Charles Allmand yesterday issued a set of guidelines for University personnel supervisors with regard to the Graduate Employes Organization (GEO) elections slated for April 1, 2 and 3. The guidelines authorize supervisors to prohibit employes from engaging in organizing during working hours, express their own opinions on unioniza- tion, and clarify misleading statements made by the union. Supervisors are prohibited, however, from attend- ing union meetings, observing who enters union meet- ings, threatening staff members who engage in union activities, or offering special benefits to discourage unionization. e New ride board The Union basement's ride co-ordinating system got a face lift yesterday when UAC representatives replaced the messy old ride board, which worked on a system of paper sheets, with another board featuring printed cards on hooks, listing people offering and seeking rides. TA's honored Ten University teaching assistants received Distin- guished Teaching awards yesterday at an awards lun- cheon ceremony. The winners, selected for teaching ex- cellence,. were Marthalee Barton, English; Gilles Davig- non, industrial and operations engineering; Timothy Ev- ans, biological chemistry; William Freeland, zoology; John Hoogland, zoology; Elizabeth Judd, English; Robert Simpson, natural resources; and Barbara Tyler, classi- cal studies.

The. board is considering seven alternatives to the bus- ing plan, and School Superintendent Harry Howard claims it must take action quickly to avoid scheduling difficulties for the students. 0 'Uncle' killers sought Southfield police said yesterday they have no clues or suspects in the apparent slaying of Harvey Leach, a prominent businessman once described as the "genius of the American furniture industry." Leach, chairman of the board of Joshua Doore, Inc., was best known for his firm's TV ad, "You've got an uncle in the furniture business." His body was found in the trunk of his lux- ury automobile in a Southfield parking lot Sunday, one hour before his scheduled marriage to Beverly Adelson. Happenings . .. .. .today feature meetings.

Arabs retain By AP and Reuter The five month old Arab oil boycott, imposed on the U.S. as a political weapon to win favorable peace terms in the Mideast, ends today in the wake of yesterday's meeting of major Arab oil pro- ducers. A spokesman for nine key Arab states said the oil ministers of the Arab countries would review their decision at a June 1 meeting in Cairo. The United States was getting about 10 to 14 per cent of its oil from Arab producers before the boycott was imposed. Oil experts said it would take between six and eight weeks for Arab oil to reach the United States. SPEAKING AFTER the minis- ters' meeting, Saudi Arabian oil minister Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yam- ani said the United States will get enough oil for its requirements. He said the United States will be getting at least one million barrels a day from Saudi Arabia alone and more supplies from other countries. He indicated the totalArab ex- ports to the United States would be about the same as they were last September. The decision apparently did not take into account extra quantities of oil that U.S. growth in the last five months would normally have required. BACK AT HOME, the major oil producers were none too optimistic about the effects of increased oil trade. "There are two significant ques- tions," a spokesman for the Sun Oil Company said, "at what price and how much." The Arab oil ministers had said they intended to keep their crude- oil prices at the present inflated levels for at least three months, but no word was forthcoming on whether production would be re- turned to September levels. Unless they raise the production levels, the spokesperson said, "ob- viously the American shortage would not be made up entirely." Present production is limited to 85 per cent of September levels. THE LIFTING of the embargo would not have any effect on the U.S. supply at least "until early See ARABS, Page 8 lift oil embargo* pressure pri°ces, proper and obligatory WASHINGTON (R) - U. S. District Judge Johrr Sirica or- dered the Watergate grand jury's Nixon report turned over to the House impeachment inquiry yesterday, noting that "it draws no accusatory conclusions." Sirica said he had no other choice, declaring that delivery to the House Judiciary Committee is "eminently proper, and indeed, obligatory." The judge said "it seems incredible that grand jury matters should . . .be unavailable to the House of Representatives in a proceeding of so great import as an impeachment investigation," when similar reports often go to police investi- gations and disbarment proceed- ings. "We deal in a matter of the most critical moment to the nation, an impeachment investigation inv lv- ing the President of the Urniteda States," Sirica said in a 22-page opinion. The judge allowed lawyers for the seven men indicted March 1 in the Watergate cover-up two dadbs to appeal the ruling. Sirica received the report and recommendation that it be placed in the hands of the Judiciary Com-P mittee at the time of the indict-_ ments. 1-.Q R fl ~ ~ E 3ST~~1A' AP Photo Happy Birthday, Judge Sirica U.S. District Chief Judge John Sirica (left) receives a ship's clock from Judge George Hart during a ju- dicial conference luncheon yesterday in Washington. Sirica, who is 70-years-old today, must step down as chief judge; he will be replaced by Hart. Sirica will remain on the bench as a jurist, and will retain authority in the current Watergate trial. CITY COUNCIL CAMPAIGN: Candidates hit issues JOHN WILSON, the lawyer for H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrhicn- man, and attorneys for the oiher defendants opposed transmittal to the House. One reason was that leaks from the report might pre- judice their clients' ability to get. a fair trial, they said. Wilson said he will file an appeal by tomorrow afternoon. He would not discuss the matter further. SIRICA SAID "the person on whom the report focuses, the Pres- ideit of the United States, has not objected to its release to the com- mittee. Other persons are involved only indirectly." He thus gave the first official confirmation of widely published reports that the secret report cen- ters on the actions of the President in the aftermath of the Watergate break-in. AT THE WHITE HOUSE Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren said Nixon had been informed of the order but gave no presidential reaction. "It draws no accusatory con- clusions," Sirica said of the docu- ment. "It deprives no one of an official forum in which to respond. It is not a substitute for indict- ments where indictments might properly issue -... "It contains no recommendations . .. .It renders no moral or social See RODINO, Page 8 A standing room only crowd of over 300 watched as City Council last night voted 6-5 to defer the Human Rights Party (HRP) rape package for one week and directed City Administrator Sylvester Mur- ray to study the HRP proposal. The motion created a special session of Council for next Mon- day-a public hearing-since us- ually the last meeting of the month is an executive session where no business is formally transacted by the council. Murraywas further directed to meet with all parties interested and concerned with the rape pro- posal and to come up with fund- ing proposals for inclusion into the 1974-75 fiscal city budget. THE MOVE - viewed as vic- tory by the crowd who cheered at its passage, was accomplished by a rare break in strict party-line voting with Republicans John Mc- Cormick and Mayor James Steph- enson voting in favor of the resolp- tion. The motion which passed was a substitute resolution, replacing an earlier proposal by Councilman William Colburn (R-Third Ward) to defer the original four point rape package offered by HRP to Murray indefinitely. The original HRP plan, devel- oped in cooperation with the Wo- men's Crisis Center, is based on four main points: See CITY,: Page 2 By JACK KROST First Ward Democratic hopeful Colleen McGee came under strong a t t a c k yesterday as opponents charged she was continually chang- ing her stand pn rent control to suit the audience. The issue was brought up when a' member of the audience at a candidates' debate Sunday after- noon asked McGee about her stand on the issue. "Now, you know my position on GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS LSA faculty debates support By BARBARA CORNELL and LAURIE GROSS LSA faculty began their discussion of the Report of the Commission on Graduation Requirements in yesterday's special meeting. Dean Rhodes opened the meeting with three suggestions, laying the groundwork for further discussions. Rhodes proposed that the faculty: (-) consider the report "deliberately and carefully, but not hastily," and not worry if the discussion extends "over a number of meetings;" (-) "examine the document page by page, recommendation by recommendation, section by section," and "adopt each section in prin- that question from all my cam- paign literature," McGee replied, "I support it." Joyce Hannum, McGee's Repub- lican opponent, objected. "Now wait a minute, Colleen. I remember you came out against rent control in the interview we had at the Ann Arbor News last March 12," Hannum charged. "That's not true," McGee coun- tered. "I said I had some reser- vations with the plan as it is presently constituted, butthat I intend to vote for it in the elec- tions." THE ANN ARBOR News said yesterday in a story based on that interview that McGee "agrees with the purposes of rent control, but opposed the HRP's charter amend- ment." The discussion was only part of a candidates' debate for First and Second Ward candidates. It was held at Northside school, located in theFirst Ward. Onlyca small audience of concerned city resi- dents attended, with few students to be seen. The Human Rights Party (HRP) First Ward candidate Beth Brunton addressed the crucial issues of the city's budget crunch and rent control.

Linda's job entails sup-xg ervising the day-to-day functionss of the six business departments of The Daily. Everyone's favorite at The Daily is the person who writes and han- opponents, Brunton maintaIned that the proposed plan is "totally unique" and that "it will work." "In other cities where rent con- trol was tried, rents were frozen or rolled back across the board at a specific price level," she said. "In contrast, the HRP plan is based on a percentage of profits. It allows landlords no more than a fixed 14 per cent profit, and accounts for maintenance and See CAMPAIGNERS, Page 2 ciple;" and, (-) accept recommendations by a simple majority vote of those present." After careful consideration of Dean Rhodes remarks, the meet- ing proceeded deliberately, care- fully, and not very hastily in a three hour discussion of the first 12 recommendations in section one. There are a total of eight sections in the report. Faculty members appeared to be more concerned with the se- mantics of the document than with the spirit of the recommenda- tions.
