Simpson's wife Harriet and son Douglas also suffered injuries. Simpson joined the University in 1962 and was a member of Senate Assembly, the faculty representative body. Funeral arrangements are being made by the Muehlig Funeral Chapel. South of the border Are there plans afoot to start a Latin American branch of the University? We know nothing except that another University administrator is off to sunnier climes. Vice-President for Re- search Charles Overberger is "consulting" this week with the staff and students at the Macromolecular Laboratory of the Federal University of Rio in (guess-where) Brazil. He joins President Robben Fleming, who is down south until the end of February. Busing note The University's commuter buses will service the I-M Bldg. on Hoover Ave. in both directions starting Monday. Previously, you could only catch a bus there on your way to Crisler Arena. Now you can catch a bus there to go to Central Campus. Cheers! The University Club's Happy Hour was a little bit happier yesterday when it was the scene of a drinking contest between the Student Counseling Office and The Daily. Contestants par- ticipated in three events: taste discrimination (or "can you tell the difference between light and dark beer when blindfolded?"), a "relay race" in which team members tried to see who could down two pitchers of beer the quickest, and an individual chug- ging contest. The results are a bit foggy now except for a club official's verdict: "If I knew you people were going to do that, I would have put you on the opposite side of the room."

Safety last? SAN FRANCISCO-Americans must learn to live with the "risk" involved in pesticides and other farm chemicals-or face even higher food costs in the future, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz told the National Canners Association yesterday. Butz criticized scientists and those "who dwell unduly on the safety issue" regarding the use of chemicals in the farming industry. "Farmers are criticized for using herbicides, pesticides, and nutrients essential for bountiful crop production." If those who criticize "have their way-if they make us absolutely safe- the time could come when we don't eat meat. We' go through life taking risks, even when we cross the street, drive down the road, step into the bathtub, jog or climb a ladder. The only reason we can sustain 210 million people in this country with a high protein diet is that we have modified the 'environment," Butz said in his speech. On the inside .. . . ' .

Get out and enjoy the morn- ing (still predicted for the 50's), because it's supposed to be raining by nighttime. By Sunday morning, that rain should be looking like snow flurries, with the low in the 30's. The weather people are using words like "temperatures in the teens" and "snow" to describe the outlook until Tuesday when a "warming trend" is predicted. Oh well, how sweet it was! PA I budet WASHINGTON (M - The Nixon administration yester- day confirmed it plans to dismantle the Office of Eco- nomic Opportunity (OEO) thereby cutting 2,000 people from the Executive Office payroll. The uprooting of the antipover- ty agency, a cornerstone of the late President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, was acknowledged by Roy Ash, budget director for President Nixon. "There will be many other re- ductions over and abovethe OEO," Ash said at a White House briefing called to explain the elimination of three smaller Ex- ecutive Office agencies: the of- fices of Emergency PreparednessJ and Science and Technology and the National Aeronautics and Space Council. In a message to Congress, the President said this was the first step in a sharp reduction in the overall size of the Executive Of- fice. He said it would help him in his job. The three branches will be dead within 60 days unless Congress objects. White House Press Sec- retary Ronald Ziegler said drop- ping the three offices would cut 389 jobs and save about $2 million. Ash and Ziegler said the event- ual goal is to reduce the Execu- tive Office from the 4,250 people who worked for it last June to less than. 2,000. Elimination of OEO will cut out some 2,000 of these jobs, Ash said. Thedeathdof OEO, Johnson's pet program for helping 'the na- tion's poor, evidently is reflected in the fiscal 1974 budget to be pre-' to 1 sented to Congress next Monday. Most of its programs presumably ri Iwill be divided among various federal agencies, with the Depart- ment of Health, Education and Welfare getting most of them. The r legal-service program, a bone in the throat of conservatives since it provides lawyers to combat gov- ernment programs in court, will be left without a home. Vw J cut Pres.

Watching is House Speaker Car Albert (D-Okla.). Cease fire increased holds )ressionl rkshtops deadline bornbing dra ws ( By AP, UPI and Reuters President N i x o n yesterday proclaimed a "national day of prayer and thanskgiving" to begin when the Vietnam cease- fire goes into effect while U.S. B-52 bombers carried out the heaviest bombing of South Viet- nam in nine months. Nearly 400 Vietnamese civil- ians were reported killed in fight- ing that raged across the coun- try yesterday just two days be- fore the beginning of a cease- fire designed to stop the blood- shed. The latest count raised Viet- namese casualties s i n c e an- nouncement of the cease-fire accord to 541 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops claimed killed and 119 South Vietnamese soldiers reported killed, 615 wounded and 34 missing. Two U.S. servicemen were also killed yesterday-possibly among the last to die before America's 12-year-old military involvement ends in Vietnam. One man was killed in a rocket attack against Bien Hoa Air Basenorth of Saigon, the other in an apparently accidental crash of a small U.S. helicopter. A command spokesman said yesterday 407 sorties were flown during the past 24 hours against communist positions and supply dumps and in support of South Vietnamese troops fighting on the ground. B-52 bombers also dropped nearly 1,000 tons of explosives north of Quang Tri, below the Demilitarized Zone, where the heaviest ground fighting was re- ported. Meanwhile, U.S. officials rush- ed preparations yesterday for face-to-face peace meetings with representatives of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, foes whom they feared, fought and bombed for more than a decade. Sirens, drums and church bells will sound across South Vietnam for one minute at 8 a.m. Saigon time Sunday, signalling the start of the cease-fire. President Ngu- ven Van Thieu ordered the cere- monies and called for a suspen- sion of all activities for one min- ute "in order' to welcome this historic event." Shortly after the cease-fire, the first contingent of North Viet- namese and Viet Cong delegates to the four-party Joint Military Commission assigned to imple- ment the peace agreement will arrive in Saigon from Paris, and others are expected from Hanoi. The initial meeting will get un- der way 'Monday, U.S. sources said. U.S. officials said specially- marked American helicopters, transformed from war machines to peacekeeping role, will pick up Viet Cong delegates in the jungles of South Vietnam and fly. them to Saigon during tle week- end. This role was not looked upon favorably by some American pilots, who will have their stay in Vietnam extended by up to two months to ferry around the foes they once fired at with ma- chine guns and rockets. Other pilots may continue to bomb North Vietnamese supply trails in Laos and military targets Ziegler went out of his way toI put down reports that the White tta cstantially under Nixon.
