Masterful inactivity
The LSA faculty reached new heights inactivity yesterday
when, after an hour and a half of discussion, they failed to keep
their quorum and adjourned. Maintaining a three month tradi-
tion, the faculty was unable to take a vote on a proposal to allow
students to gain up to 60 hours of credit without attending classes
by passing an exam. In other "action" the LSA Joint Student-
Faculty Committee presented a proposal on grading reform
which may ble voted on in a later meeting if anyone shows up.
Study, study, study
For those of you trying to make up all the work you didn't
do this term, there is good news. The UGLI will be open extra
hours during Study and Examination days. Starting Thursday,
Dec. 14 the library will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Good luck.
Dope notes
Fifty pounds of hashish was found by customs officials yes-
terday hidden in secret compartments of cages holding two
Himalayan bears on their way to California from Napal. Four
people were arrested and one bear shot. Meanwhile, a con-
gressional panel concluded after an 18-month intensive study
that excessive use of sleeping pills and tranquilizers constitutes
a major national health problem leading to violence and death.
They urge stricter Federal controls.
Happenings .. .
We could only find two items in our file today. The Oceano-
logical Society will show a color film entitled The World of
Jaques Cousteau at their 7:30 meeting at room 1040 in the
School of Natural Resources. It's free . . . The School of Music
Recital Hall will hold a student recital of piano chamber music
at 5:00 p.m. Also free . . . If anything else of interest is hap-
pening let us know.
Another revolution
Strongman Gen. Oswaldo Lopez Arellano took power in Hon-
duras yesterday after that country's 137th revolution in 151 years,
ousting civilian President Ramon Ernesto Cruz in a bloodless
military coup and placing him under house arrest. A communique
broadcast by, the Defense Council in Tegucigalpa, the Tonduran
capital, accused Cruz of plunging Honduras-an impoverished
"Banana Republic" whose economy is based on vast banana
plantations set up by U. S. companies - into economic chaos.
Rumsfeld appointed
Donald Rumsfeld, now head of the Cost of Living Council,
was nominated by President Nixon for thejob which the Presi-
dent was said to regard as "one of the most important diplo-
matic posts in Europe." Rumsfeld, 40, a handsome and person-
able former Illinois congressman, has had no previous diplo-
matic experience. Rumsfeld will get the title of ambassador in
the NATO post where he replaces David Kennedy, former
Secretary of the Treasury and roving emissary for Nixon in the
international economic field.
Pentagon phones
The largest office building in the world-The Pentagon, with
28,000 employes-was without normal telephone service for 22
minutes yesterday. But the Defense Department headquarters
on the shore of the Potomac River across from downtown Wash-
ington did not lose its so-called "secure lines" providing links to
military installations, a spokesman said. And the Washington-
Moscow "hot line" did not cease functioning, the Pentagon of-
ficial added. "We still don't know what caused thestrouble,"
spokesman John McGuire said after the problem was cleared
up. "It takes some time to go into all those black boxes and
figure out what happened."
X-rated motel
Guests at Cleveland's Hillcrest Motel who tune in to catch
the late movie won't have to settle for a B-flick from the 1940s.
Motel owner Owen Kilbane has set up a closed circuit television
system that features X-rated movies six times a day through
the week and three times on Sundays. Kilbane, 25, bought the
Hillcrest six months ago and began his new programming this
weekend.

By AP and UPI
The Supreme Court agreed yes-
terday to rule on higher tuition
rates for out-of-state college stu-
dents-an issue that could have
heavy impact on fees paid by all
students at state-supported col-
leges.
The case, accepted for review
next spring, comes from Con-

necticut. There a' three-judge
court held students who had set
up permanent residence could not
be charged the higher fees for
the full length of their academic
careers.
Possibly riding on the outcome
is the $200 million to $400 million
collected by the states in non-
resident tuition each year. If the

Lloyd Hall's Klein Lounge.
But although Lloyd's government
has approved the plan, University
officials have proved a stumbling
block so far.

H-enry Johnson told the school's
supportershe had no authority to
rule on the plan.
Johnson said the proposal will be
discussed at a meeting of the Uni-
versity executive officers a week'
from Thursday.
In the meantime, the school faces
a crisis situation, since its stu-
dents have been declared truant.
Early efforts at finding a home
for the free school began in
August at the Memorial Christian
Church.
"We planned to move into the
church," stated Martha Wade,
mother of one student, "but one'
week before school was to start in
September, the church board re-
fused us, saying that some mem-
bers didn't approve of free schools
as the means of changing the edu-
cational process."

a class action suit against the
University of Michigan which
seeks to eliminate out-of-state
tuition for students registered t

The suit, filed by six University
students, contends students whc
are registered voters in Michigan
should not be considered out-of
state residents and be required t
pay higher tuition.
If the suit is decided agains
the University, it could cost then
$12 million dollars in lost fees. I1
could also affect all state col

Councilmember John McCormick~
(R-Fifth Ward) moved to defer a
vote on the plan charging "The
Last Chance Plan amendment to
the Green Plan causes significant
changes in the ordinance."
After lengthy and often heated
debate, the motion was defeated
6-5. The vote was along partisan
lines with the Republicans casting
the five affirmative votes.
The Republicans are expected to

The latest official U. S. strength summary gave the breakdown:
Army 14,600, Air Force 8,000, Navy 1,600, Marines 1,200and Coast
Guard 100. This does not include the 100,000 men stationed at air bases
in Thailand and on warships of the 7th Fleet.
At the same time Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said yesterday
in Washington that South Vietnamese refugees have increased at an
alarming pace since presidential adviser Henry Kissinger's "Peace
is at hand" statement on Oct. 26.
Kennedy, who headsthe Senate Judiciary Subcommittee 'on
refugees, said in a statement that the four weeks since the Kissinger
statement civilian war victims by official count total some 72,300, a
daily average of nearly 2,600 and a weekly average of more than
18,000.

Who marks your papers?

By RALPH VARTABEDIAN
Who graded the last paper you submitted in a
literary college course?
Was it your professor, a fourth year doctoral
candidate, a first year graduate student, or how
about an undergraduate senior? At the University,
all of these are possibilities.
As literary school classes grow larger, some

When asked what class size justifies using a
grader, professors pegged the limit anywhere from
41 to 200 students.
The low figure was quoted by English Prof. Cecil
Eby and the high number by anthropology Prof.
Joseph Jorgensen.
