The Greater Detroit Area Hospital Council (GDAHC)-which must approve plans to build a $46 million new facility-may not reach a final decision until mid- December. According to GDAHC Associate Director Robert Tell, "a decision to send the plans back to committee was virtually unanimous. We realize that this is a very controversial issue and needs to be closely reviewed." Meanwhile, St. Joe's won a final extension until Dec. 18 of the option it had on a Superior Township site.

He says he will make his biggest decisions and write his most important speeches in the isolated mountaintop resort. Why? "It is easier for me to get on top of the job," at Camp David, Nixon said.

CLOSE DECISION SGC dope co-op bid defeated I Art time capsule implanted By SUE STEPHENSON "Space is place. Space is place. Dig it, dig it, bury it." As six red-sweatered art stu- dents enthusiastically chanted their cheer, an art-oriented "time capsule" was lowered into the earth yesterday. The ceremony took place near the entrance of the soon-to-be-built School of Architecture and Design on North Campus. The capsule is marked "This is not to be opened until 1984." Speaking at the ceremony, art student Barney O'Brien, '73, said, "We're just going to lay it in the ground and let time create." 'Tom Wedell, '73, who initiated the time capsule project with O'Brien, noted that the idea is in keeping with a new "correspon- dence ar't" movement, in which artists exchange their works on a non-profit basis rather than ex- hibiting in art galleries. In soliciting contributions for the capsule, Wedell and O'Brien formed a group called Mem- brane, which reflects the inter- weaving of ideas and art con- tributions they hope the project will achieve. Since this summer when the soliciting began, contributions have been received from artists throughout the United States and Canada. See TIME, Page 10 Jacobs breaks tie; casts deciding vote By TERRY MARTIN In an atmosphere that a Council member described as "sandbox government," SGC last night narrowly defeated a proposal to establish a student dope co-op. Immediately following the defeat of the proposal, in which SGC President Bill Jacobs cast the decisive vote, pro- ponents of the proposal, led by Bill Dobbs of the Student Tenants' Union Coalition, set in motion a process that could lead to Jacobs' recall. The proposal, submitted by Bullshit Party Emperor David Hornstein, would have allocated $2,500 to buy mari- juana and distribute it free to University students. One part of the resolution provided for the formation of a Student Dope Board to oversee opera- tions. Each meeting of this board would have been pre- ceded by a "cerem onial smoke-in," under the pro- posal. Council members had a field day proposing pun-filled amendments to the proposition. Integrity party member Ken Newberry asked that it be "reeferred" to committee and completed his statement by toss- ing a handful of pseudo-joints on Hornstein's desk. A boisterous crowd of over twen- ty spectators punctuated the pro- ceeding by shouting "Dope from the dopes" as several amendments to decrease the allotment were voted down, paving the way for a vote on the original proposal. The roll-call vote stood at 6 to 5 in favor before Jacobs addedj his negative vote. The resulting tie meant that the proposal was defeated under parliamentary pro- cedure.

By The Associated Press and Reuters WASHINGTON-President Nix- on virtually suspended the with- drawal of U.S. troops from Viet- nam and fixed the troop level at 27,000 men pending the outcome of peace negotiations in Paris. The announcement came amid indications that peace negotia- tions are reaching a climax. A flurry of meetings between Presi- dent Nixon and his military and civilian advisors were held to discuss the situation in South- east Asia. The reports from Ron Ziegler, White House press secretary, conflicted with statements from the Pentagon and Saigon on whether troop withdrawalswould continue on an unannounced basis. The U.S. Command in Saigon said it had received no orders from Washington for further troop cuts after reaching a Dec. 1 ceiling of 27,000 ordered by President Nixon in August. The command declined further com- ment, but other sources in Sai- gon said Washington had ordered a freeze in troop cuts. Ziegler took note of the Saigon dispatch adding, "I don't want to use that word freeze. We said we would reach a certain level by Dec. 1 and we have done it." A short time before Ziegler spoke, the Pentagon said further troop withdrawals from Vietnam would continue, but on a limited basis and without any formalj announcement pending the out- come of the peace negotiations. Ziegler recalled that when President Nixon fixed the 27,000 level in August he said there would be another statement on withdrawals on or before Dec. 1. "I have just made it," Ziegler. "We are not going to have any comment on troop levels." The Pentagon, however, said that limited withdrawals will con- tinuedbutewill not be announced in advance. Earlier in the day, Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird said the withdrawal program will con- tinue, but added, "I will cer- tainly recommend to the Presi- dent that because of the sensi- tivity and the seriousness of the negotiation track at this time that no announcement be made at this time as to the future troop level. "I think that that would be a mistake, and might interfere with the negotiating track and so I will recommend that no an- nouncementbe made for several weeks," Laird said. Even if there had been a de- cision to announce further cuts, any new withdrawals would have been slight because of the rela- tively small number of U.S. troops still in Vietnam. Defense Department officials said the course of action they outlined would provide added flexibility to the U.S. position in the negotiations. The series of secret talks will resume Monday. On the diplomatic front, Zieg- ler announced that the President spent several hours reviewing the entire situation in Southeast Asia with Henry Kissinger, his national security adviser. tive Vice President Lou Glazer and Jacobs. Immediately after the vote, cries of "Recall Jacobs" were raised by the crowd and several members of Council. mA group led by Dobbs and for- mer SGC Administrative Vice President Jay Hack then sat down, in a back room and filled out the form necessary for thetregistration of an organization they called "Students to Recall Bill Jacobs." The recall entails: -Registration of the form, which supporters said they would do late last night; The "public vote" resolution re- quired 74 votes, or a two-thirds majority, to pass. Unsuccessful at- tempts were made to tack on amendments that would prohibit diversion of money for cross-dis- trict busing of school children and to allow law enforcement agencies to dip into the highway fund. "All the interests are satisfied, except the taxpayers," said Rep. James Smith (R-Davison), who ob- jected to the resolution. Smith abstained from voting.
