Faculty to hear grading plan
(Continued from Page 1)
Psychology Prof. John Milhol-
land, chairperson of the Curricu-
lum Committee, believes there are
many times during the first two1
years when a student should be
graded. The proposal, he says,
provides a student with a coherent
non-graded atmosphere during the
first two years, but doesn't prepare
him for the upperclass years when
"grades really matter."
Although a proposal for a fac-
ulty referendum on various grad-J
ing systems was on the agenda for
the literary college faculty's No-;
vember meeting, the question was
never considered. The faculty got;
bogged down in extensive debate
on parliamentary procedure for
other matters and so the proposal
was not discussed.
The Executive Committee sub-
sequently had Milholland with-
draw the proposal for a faculty
referendum. T h e referendum
would have polled faculty opinion
on the same three grading reform
proposals which students voted on
during the campus election.
Since passage of the student-
approved reform proposal by the
faculty in January seems unlike-
ly, the whole grading issue will be
given to the Graduation Require-
ments Commission for study. This
group will review a wide variety
of topics including distribution,

Army and Navy ROTC instructorsj
told a black investigating commit-
tee yesterday that state police and
sheriff's deputies ran out of con-
trol and had to be restrained re-
peatedly by campus security of-
ficers the day two students died in
a confrontation at Southern Uni-
versity.
"The situation was very confus-
ed, with little or no control being
exercised by the deputies or the
state police," Navy Lt. Cmdr. Ho-
ward Walton said.
Students and ROTC faculty
members gave conflicting testi-
mony about what precipitated the
Nov. 16 conflict. A student witness
said state police lobbed the first
tear gas grenade. But Army Maj.
Leon D. Jackson, an assistant pro-!
fessor of military science, said
the first tear gas he saw came
from the crowd of students.
Jackson also said he got mostly
"negative responses" from of-
ficers and members of the univer-
sity administration in attempting
to get medical help for students-
one dead, one dying - who lay on
the sidewalk.
He said at one point he ap-
proached two university officials
of his acquaintance and spoke
about the need for medical help.
"Their words were, 'It's good
for them. They knew what they
were getting into. They deserved
what they got' - words to that
effect," Jackson said.

for Calley?
OKLAHOMA CITY (P)-AniOkla-
homa City newspaper says it has
learned that an Army panel con-
siderinig the clemency plea of Lt.
William Calley has submitted fav-
orable recommendations in the be-
lief that Calley's confinement in
connection with the My Lai mas-
sacre is cruel and unusual punish-
ment.
The Daily Oklahoman said yes-
terday, "There were indications
the panel may have suggested lift-
ing some of the restrictions now
imposed, or even some form of
parole."
The newspaper said the recom-
mendations of the three parole and
clemency officers who interviewed
Calley Monday were submitted
Tuesday to the commanding gen-j
eral at Ft. Benning, Ga., where
Calley is being held under house
arrest pending his appeal.
The black committee, chaired
by Hawood Burns. of New York,
director of the National Conference
of Black Lawyers, adjourned after
two days of eyewitness accounts.
Burns said the committee would
release a written report on its
findings within the next two weeks.

Born in Boston, a Harvard law
school graduate, Richardson is a
former lieutenant governor and
state attorney general of Massa-
chusetts.
At the HEW department with its
110,000 employes and myriad pro-
grams, Richardson dealt with the
HEW budget of $78.9 billion, larger
than the Defense Department. j
As Defense secretary, he will
take over a military establishment
of more than 3,400,000 people.
Speculation had centered on his
possibly becoming the next secre-
tary of State or attorney general.
He had been mentioned also as
a possible second-term running
mate alongside President Nixon
pnd now is being touted in some
circles as a presidential contender
in 1976.
Richardson's public image at
news conferences is one of stiff-
ness and formality, with adroit cir-r
cumlocution when he doesn't feel
free to speak on an issue.
Richardson was an army officer
in Europe during World War II.
He was decorated with the Bronze
Star for heroism and was nicknam-
ed "Lucky" for his war-time es-
capades.
At the start of Warld War II he
was turned down for military ser-
vice because of poor eyesight.
So Richardson memorized the
eye chart and got into an Army
uniform, but another physician re-
versed the chart and he was bar-
red from combat duty.
Caspar Weinberger would bring
to HEW the reputation of a tight-
fisted money manager who believes
that problems are best solved in
the private sector rather than by3
government.
In his tenures as chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission and
deputy director and then director
of the Office of Management and
Budget, the 55-year-old lawyer has
picked up a nickname: "Cap the
Knife."I
It partially reveals Weinberger's
philosophy about government: the
bureaucracy should be lean and ef-
ficient. No agency should ask for
more money until maximum effic-
iency is achieved.
In his new job, he will preside
over the department that spends
most of alld-the huge bureaucracy
that deals with the federal gov-
ernment's social spending.
Theabudget this year for HEW
was almost $79 billion-which is
far more than the entire budget of
almost any other country in the
world.
Nixon, whose campaign slogans
included a pledge to "get people
off welfare rolls on to work rolls,"
evidently believes Weinberger is
better suited than anyone to hold
down spending by HEW.
Roy Ash, millionaire industrial-
ist and co-founder and president of
Litton Industries, said OMB will
place much emphasis on manage-
ment of the federal purse under
his tenure.
Ash, however, was vague on his
attitude about federal fiscal policy.
He saidhe would wait until he got
hinto the job before saying any-
thing about it.
