PEACE RUMORS Pre-inaugural cease-fire denied On to Washington If you want to join the counter-inaugural forces in Washing- ton this weekend, you have today to decide. At 9 p.m. tonight, th~e local counter-inaugural people will have to decide how many buses they need, so if you want to go, buy your ticket now, in the Fishbowl, the counter-inaugural office (Rm. 3M, Union) or your dorm. Tickets are $25, but transportation coordinator Chuck Meibeyer says the committee has limited funds (extreme- ly limited) to maybe help out, if you have some but not all of the ticket money. The buses are leaving from South U between East U and State, Friday night at 8 p.m. If you have questions, the counter-inaugural office number is 763-4797. A clarification, Yesterday, The Daily reported that Vice-president for Aca- demic Affairs Allan Smith told a Senate Assembly audience that Gov. William Milliken's recommended allotment of state funds to the University would not allow for any faculty salary increases in the coming year. However, Smith's comments actually were to the effect that there were indications the governor was not con- sidering salary increases equal to the 5.5 per cent national guidelines. Housing caveat Housing Director John Feldkamp advises us that the secur- ity deposit provisions of the new tenant protection act do not take effect until April 1, 1973, and are only applicable to security de- posits held by tenants with leases entered into, renewed, or re- negotiated after that time. Thus, if you renew your dorm room for next year now, you're not protected under the new law. If you need information, consult the Housing office, where copies of the new law are available. Alex Hawkins, director of off- campus housing can be reached at 763-4104 and Norma Kraker, housing advisor, at 764-7400. If you prefer to consult in person, go to 1011 SAB. Our man in Hanoi University Prof. John Whitmore, a specialist in 14th and 15th century Vietnam and a member of the Vietnam Studies Co-or- dinating group, is on his way to Hanoi. The first U. S. academic specialist on Vietnam to enter North Vietnam since the war began, Whitmore will be in Hanoi for a week as a guest of the Ministry of Education of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Whitmore hopes that his visit will make possible future "contacts and exchanges of scholars, students and materials." Happenings . . . . .. Hungering for a return to childhood?

Richardson currently holds the job of sec- retary of health, education and welfare in the Nixon cabinet. Meanwhile, a leading Senate war critic announced his inten- tions to stall full Senate confirmation until after the President's inauguration Saturday. As a symbolic protest against the Indo- china war Sen. Harold Hughs (D-Iowa) will block a full Senate vote on the Richardson nomination and those of William Clem- ents for deputy secretary of defense and James Schlesinger for director of the CIA. In other action yesterday President Nixon accepted with "deep regret" the resignation of Undersecretary of the Treasury Edwin Cohen, acknowledged to be the adminis- tration's top expert on tax reform. Treasury officials denied speculation that Cohen's departure is related to the adminis- tration's failure to move on tax reform. Society note Actress Jane Fonda got a "quickie" divorce yesterday from Roger Vadim, a French movie director she married in 1965, ac- cording to a Dominican Republic court source. Yesterday's court action leaves Jane free to marry former Daily Editor and fel- low anti-war activist Tom Hayden. Fonda arrived Monday in Santo Domingo where divorces can be obtained in a matter of hours. No announcement on Viet peace planned By AP, UPI and Reuters The White House yesterday virtually ruled out the possi- bility of a cease-fire coming before Saturday's inaugura- tion despite rumors circulat- ing to the contrary.

BUSING ORDER DELAYED: Appeals court to rehear case on Detroit school segregation Presidential Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler told reporters "the President is not going to address the nation" on the subject of Vietnam this week. Dampening reports from Saigon and elsewhere that signing of a ceasefire was imminent, Ziegler also said Henry Kissinger, his chief. Vietnam negotiator, would not be returning to Paris this week to resume talks with Hanoi's Le Duc Tho. Ziegler's denials came in re- sponse to a report by the Cohim- bia Broadcasting System (CBS) which quoted "highly reliable pa- lace sources in Saigon" as saying a cease-fire announcement would be made Friday night. Such an announcement observ- ers agreed would not be out of character for the President who has shown a flair for the dramatic in the timing of past peace devel- opments. One senior U. S. official said it was possible the rumors were de-f liberately leaked by Saigon be- cause of its objections to some conditions it feels Nixon is impos- ing on Thieu. Ziegler left open the possibility that Nixon would have. something to say about Vietnam in his tele- vised inaugural address, however. He also insisted that his state- ment that Kissinger would not go to Paris this week did not con- flict with his statement Monday that the presidential adviser would makefthe trip "in the relatively near future." While hopes for an immediate peace were somewhat diminished by Ziegler comments, reports from several sourcesindicated that the negotiations had made some pro- gress. That progress was said to have been responsible for the Presi- dent's decision Monday to suspend offensive activities over North Vietnam. According to officialtsources, the new draft agreement is largely based on the nine-point accord reached between Kissinger and Tho Oct. 20. But the final docu- ment, including a series of com- promises, annexes and additional clauses, will be bulkier than the original draft accord, they said. United States and North Vietna- mese officials declined to comment on reports that the new draft agreement contained nine main chapters plus 25 articles and 13 protocols. Several of the issues which were said to be holdingrup the talks, particularly the problem of sup- ervision of any cease-fire, have I reportedly been worked out. By AP and UPI CINCINNATI, Ohio - A fed- eral appeals court yesterday or- dered a rehearing of arguments on a controversial plan designed to desegregate city schools in Detroit and 52 suburban districts. The 6th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals turned aside an earlier order in which it agreed with U. S. District Court findings of segregation in the districts. It said it would hear oral argu- ments Feb. 8 on a massive bus- ing plan. The appeals court had ruled Dec. 8 that U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Roth of Detroit was correct in his findings of segregation. It also agreed with Roth that cross-district busing was the only effective desegrega- tion remedy for the city's schools, which are 70 per cent black. But the appeals court said Roth erred in not bringing all 52 suburban districts into hearings during which the busing plan was argued. That December order, handed down byeCircuit Court judges Harry Phillips, John Peck and. George Edwards, was followed by appeals by a number of the suburban districts, and the state of Michigan, for a rehearing be- fore all nine judges of the 6th Circuit. Roth was ordered to re- open those hearings, but since his poor physical condition has pre- vented him from doing so, the appellate division has taken over Ziegler that responsibility. The rehearing order met mix- ed reaction in Michigan. William Penn, executive direc- tor of the Detroit branch of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, called the action, "another de- lay in an orderto achieve inte- gration in the schools." Michigan Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley, an opponent of busing, termed the order "a victory in this long legal struggle for the state." Roth's plan would mean the busing of 40,000 pupils across dis- trict lines. Kelley said the action by the appellate court and Monday's de- cision by the Supreme Court to hear the Richmond, Va., school case reinforces his "firm legal judgment that upon final re- view of this case there will be no cross-districtsbusing in Mich- igan." Despite Kelley's remarks, the move looked to some observers like a temporary delay which would have no substantive effect on Roth's order. The appellate court decision resurrected the possibility that the state of Michigan could be forced to purchase 295 buses to implement the desegregation plan. The order which was set aside by the appeals court yesterday had vacated Roth's order that the busesbe purchased. Thetap- peals court now must decide again whether to uphold that purchase order. The new order also revived the possibility that the appeals court See HEARING, Page 7 Profs to hold [inauguration peace dinner History Prof. John Bowditch and 11 other history staff members have announced their intention to hold an inaugural dinner for peace Saturday evening, Jan. 20, after the counter-inaugural protest in Washington, D.C. Bowditch's group, the Commit- tee of Historians for Peace (CHP), is urging all protesters to attend the dinner. speakers will include prominent historians and public figures. Historians from the University and a number of other schools across the country, including Am- herst, Stanford, Princeton, and Harvard, will be selling $10 tickets to the dinner, which is to be held at the ballroom of Washington's Mayflower Hotel. Bowditchsaid yesterday the din- ner will be an alternative to the festivities Administration support- ers will hold after President Nix- on's. inauguration ceremony. "It is not a time to celebrate 'victory,' but to re-evaluate our place in a world that needs constructive lead- ership," he remarked. "There is something unseemly about this country celebrating with liquor and dancing when we have been using our industrial power and our military might to pulver- ize a small country with massive and indiscriminate bombing in the name of peace. Instead of cele- brating we should be in mourning for those who have died and are dying for a cause no one now un- derstands or believes in." Advertisements have been placed in several major national news- papers urging protesters to join the CHP dinner. Bowditch said the committee ex- pects 500 to 1000 people to attend. Supporting Bowditch's efforts at the University are history depart- ment staff members Charles Gib- son, John Fine, Richard Mitchell, Richard Latner, Bruce McGowan, Raymond Grew, Robin Jacoby, Phylis Ehrenberg, Bradford Perk- ins, Carolyn Lougee, and Ernest Young.

What functions does it serve? Can the University exist as a neutral body? These were the major questions raised last night in the first of a series of three "State of The University" debates being held this week, Because there are such a wide variety of people attending the University, Smith argued, there is no conceivable way any united policy decision can be reached. This position was sharply challenged in the audience participation session by a young woman who said, "You talk about your magnificent neu- trality!
