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.

(P) -I 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. Bright future 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. Across town, state Afty. Gen. William Guste was conducting an official investigation. But Guste's biracial panel is holding its hear- ings in secret, along the lines of a grand jury investigation. Southern's controversial presi- dent, Dr. G. Leon Netterville, and his top aides appeared before Gus- te's panel yesterday. Netterville has refused to appear before the black panel, as has East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Al Amiss, who was in charge of officers summoned to the Southern cam- pus at the request of university officials. But Baton Rouge City Council- man Joseph Delpit, who is black, did appear yesterday and told the all-black ppanel he thought the two students were murdered by offic- ers. "There's no question in my mind that the incident that happened at Southern University was murder," he said. I with her stance against the SGC proposal. "I feel that some of the criticism raised by SGC is validj but their solution is wrong."' She supports the current policy whereby housing is controlled by an OSS unit committee. Members charged at last week's OSSPB meeting that if housing was removed from OSS control, its power would be fractionalized. One student member said, "The vice president and the Regents are cooperating now with the student- controlled HPB.

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. Join The Daily CIRCULATION DEPT.
