After weeks of trying to locate Silverstein, and then removing him from his seat, Coun- cil yesterday received a telegram from Win- nipeg, Canada. The wire, addressed to Mary Samuelson, secretary of SGC, read, "Dear Mrs. S: I in- tend to keep my seat and intend to retuitn from a back-packing trip in three weeks. Signed, Joel Silverstein." Council voted earlier this month to remove absent members who had not replied to re- gistered mail inquiries concerning their in- tentions to stay on Council. After receiving no reply from Silverstein, SGC President Bill Jacobs ruled his seat va- cant. But then came yesterday's telegram, "I have some doubts as' to whether it is from Joel", said Jacobs, who based his sus- picions on the lack of a receipt for the registered mail inquiry or any forwarding address. But the SGC president said he would give Silverstein the "benefit of the doubt', and would reverse his ruling. The telegram also affects the status of a suit filed with CSJ against Silverstein's evic- See SILVERSTEIN, Page 6 The president's remarks in a nationwide broadcast came at the end of 12 hours in which the island nation had been cut off from the world by a government-imposed communications blackout. Marcos said an escalating threat of armed insurrection had prompted him to take "this extraconstitutional power to pro- tect the republic." He ordered martial law imposed Friday night, after gunmen fired into the car of the secretary of defense in what the government called an unsuccessful assassination attempt. Scores of political arrests were reported to have followed. Marcos claimed in his broadcast that martial law was not a military takeover of the civilian government, but a measure to "end the present national emergency." A midnight to 4 a.m. curfew went into ef- feet immediately, Marcos said. Elements of the Metropolitan Police Command, or Metro- com, set up checkpoints in the greater Ma- nila area to enforce the curfew. Results of the martial law decree were peaceful. The four million or so residents of the greater Manila area went about their normal weekend activities. The population missed the usual daily radio newscasts and newspapers, however, as Metrocom troops closed the city's eight major English-language dailies and about a dozen radio and television stations. Other measures contained in the edict which Marcos signed late Friday were: -Censorship of all domestic and interna- tional media operating in the Philippines; -Temporary ban on Filipinos leaving the country; -Closing schools on all levels for a week; -Death penalty for illegal possession of firearms: -Total ban on public demonstrations, ral- lies and labor strikes; and -Use of civilian courts except in cases in- volving violations of public order, the fun- damental law, national security, abuse and improper use of the military uniform, The presidential edict will not affect those who "do not want to overthrow the govern- ment by subversiontor violence." "If there had been other effective alterna- tive measures, we would have gladly adopt- ed them," Marcos maintained. He added that thesMaoistiCommunist par- ty of the Philip pines and its New People's Army have grown to a "menacing" mem- bership of more than 10,000 with logistics and international funding assistance and a mass base of 100,000 persons. Unless checked immediately, this "sub- version" will cause the "collapse of the na- tional economy in no time," Marcos claimed. He promised that details of implementa- tion of the martial law, and the social and economic reforms will be explained later. See COMMUNIST, Page 10 v /Tow service loses dept. By JONATHAN MILLER Fature Editor 4'w County Sheriff Douglas Harvey has ordered his men to boycott an Ann Arbor towing com- pany which refused to display Harvey cam- paign posters on its property, The Daily learned yesterday. In a memorandum directed to all sheriff's department personnel yesterday, Harvey told his officers to call on an alternative tow- ing company in cases where wrecker service is needed by the department. The sheriff is presently seeking his thirds four-year term of office. The brief memorandum, typed on a Wash- tenaw County Sheriff's Department memo- randum letterhead, read in full: "To: Command-Communications Subject: Northside Towing-Use Termi- nated Effective 9-23-72 at 9:00 a.m. North- side Towing Service will no longer be called by this department. In place of Northside Towing you shall call Dick's Union 76 for all wrecker calls which were formerly covered by Northside. Any questions regarding this memo may be referred to Capt. (Chester) Wilson, or,. to Sheriff Harvey. Note: The only exception for calling it Northside will be at a motorist request for that specific wrecker." _ The memo did not cite a reason for the change, but highly reliable sources within the Sheriff's Department said it was be- cause the manager of Northside had last week orderedHarvey campaign posters re- moved from his company's yard at 3127 S. Wagner Rd. Neither Harvey nor Capt. Wilson could be reached for comment on the memo last night. Undersheriff Harold Owings, who is Hiar- vey'sdRepublican opponent in the Nov. 7 gen- eral election, said that Northside offered the da- department "very good service. lot "They're very competent people as far as m- I know," he added. "The indication I get is that the memo was issued because they won't et- support him." Democratic candidate Frederick Postill, a an fr of former deputy fired by Harvey for "insub- vill ordination," said that the memo was, "a typical Harvey stunt. ap n "I've talked with drivers from other tow- ing companies who told me they were un- ler able to get sheriff's department business be- ni- cause they didn't do the sheriff personal lar favors," Postill said. ts.

YEAR.-LONG PROJECT LSA establishes committee, to study graduation res By JUDY RUSKIN A "blue-ribbon" commission, conceived al- most a year ago by LSA Dean Frank Rhodes, has been set up to review all literary col- lege requirements, including distribution courses, language requirements, admissions policies, alternative degree programs, indi- vidualized study and pass/fail grading. The commission, while reviewing all the requirements in the college's announcements, 'Drink to me J, only with thine dollars' By TAMMY JACOBS Managing Editor It was Meet the Candidates" time at S... iSchool of Education Dean Wilbur Cohen's home yesterday, as Democratic bigwigs from all over the state turned out to a fund-raising cocktail party for State Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley, candidate for U.S. Senate. Kelley stood near the buffet table, chatting with a constant stream of visitors, among them State Supreme Court candidate FHor- ace Gilmore, Marvin Stempien, candidate for U.S. representative from the 53rd Congres- sional District, and Marjorie Lansing, Uni- versity Regent candidate. Well-dressed party members and University personalities glided in and out of the down- stairs rooms of Cohen's Oxford St. home, drinks in hands, while a punch bowl on the front porch rapidly filled with checks and bills. However, Democrats weren't the o n 1 y party members involved in yesterday's fund,. raiser. Outside Cohen's house, a handful of Human Rights Party members picketed in the front yard, seeking promises of a debate between Kelley and their Senatorial candi- can only make recommendations, explains Charles Morris, associate dean for student academic affairs. "It's not a legislative committee, he says. "It cannot take action." The commission is scheduled to report its findings in June, 1973 to -one of the college's committees for further considerations. The committee to which the commission is re- sponsible has not yet been determined, ac- cording to Morris. All final decisions concerning graduation requirements must be made by the college's governing faculty. The committee's job is "tremendous", ac- cording to Eugene Nissen, secretary to the LSA Administrative Board. He adds that it's possible the task will not be completed by the June deadline. The committee is made up of students, faculty and administrators, from both ;nside and outside the literary college. Specifically, the proposed make-up would include: -Two members from the Joint Student- Faculty Policy Committee, one of whom must be a student; -Two members of the Curriculum Com- mittee, one a student; -Two members of the college's Executive Committee; -Two members appointed by the Academic Affairs Advisory Council; -Two members from the dean's office; --One member appointed by Vice Presi- dent for Academic AffairsAllan Smith; -One representative of Rackham Grad- uate Student Association, appointed in con- sultation with the LSA Student Government; -One member of LSA Student Govern- ment; -One representative of the Student Coun- seling Office; and ,uiremenb, perspective, but also specific recommeni tions," he adds. "Things need to be a simpler. What we have now is terribly cc plex." The commission is expected to start me ing as soon as the various committees c pick their representatives. The selection members from a variety of disciplines x be an important consideration in that pointment process. Once the commission is underway, smal task forces from various groups at the U versity may be created to study particu problems involving graduation requiremer Uganda calls battles 'hot'; Tanzania reports ' all q'uiet' By The Associated Press The state of the week-old Ugandan- Tanzanian conflict was veiled in claim and counterclaim yesterday, with a Ugandan military spokesman reporting "very hot" fighting and a Tanzanian military spokesman reporting "all quiet." Government-controlled Radio Uganda con- firmed that troops and airmen from Libya are in Uganda to aid the battle while diplo- mats from other African countries sought peace. And Great Britan sent a special envoy to Kampala, the capital city, to figure out how to get 8,000 British Asians out of Uganda by tomorrow to comply with new directives from President Idi Amin. A planeload of 186 Asians was scheduled to touch down in Britain today. The Ugandan military spokesman said yes- terday's fighting was in the Tanzanian village of Mutukula, at the border with Uganda. He said a former Ugandan official had been captured and claimed Tanzania suffered heavy losses. Tanzania's spokesman declared the border command reported everything quiet in Mutukula. The Ugandan spokesman, in a message broadcast by Radio Uganda, said Joshua Wakholi, former minister of public service and cabinet affairs in the government of ousted President Milton Obote, had been taken prisoner, severely wounded. The spokesman also reported that a medical card belonging to Lt. David Oyite-Ojok had been found near Mutukula and: "It is likely that Ojok was -killed during the fighting.
