Ehrlichman starts prison term * * * * * * GEG weakens demands WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Former Presidential ad- viser John Ehrlichman went to jail voluntarily yester- day to begin sentences related to his role in the Wa- tergate cover-up. Rather than await the outcome of appeals to the Supreme Court, Ehrlichman applied for and received permission to begin serving sentences of up to eight years for Watergate-related crimes. HE WAS GIVEN until Monday to report to the Swift Trail federal work camp - a minimum security prison at Safford, Arizona - but chose instead to report to prison immediately. By not waiting for the Supreme Court review, Ehrlichman on key contract issues By SUSAN ADES The Graduate Employe Or- ganization (GEO) yesterday brought major concessions on economics and class size to their contract talks with the University, a move which both sides treated as the beginnings of an indication that a strike can be avoided next month. The union reduced their origi- nal demand that a 6.5 per cent pay increase be coupled with a 50 per cent tuition cut in 1976- 77 and a total tuition waiver the next year. Their new re- quest asks for a four per cent salary hike with a 25 per cent decrease in tuition the first year and a 50 per cent cut the sec- ond year. CHIEF UNIVERSITY bargain- er John Forsyth said he is "cau- tiously optimistic" about the prospects of a settlement be- fore GEO's critical Monday night membership meeting. His reaction, he said, is based on indications from GEO that re- vised language in at least some if not all of their proposals is forthcoming. While the University, in re- cent weeks, has repeatedly stated it would not budge from its positions on such issues as class size, affirmative action, non-discrimination in hiring and definition ofresearchhand stu- dent assistants (RA's and SA's), yesterday those sentiments seemed to have shifted. "There's room for considera- tion of their concerns," said Forsyth explaining the union may still come up with "cre- ative solutions" to major prob- lems. AND RESPONDING to his op- position's apparent attitude change, GEO President Doug Moran said, "There's plenty of time between now and Mon- day (to reach an agreement) if they're ready to deal." But he added, "It's hopeful but our hopes have been dashed be- fore." That tinge of GEO skepticism rides on the fact that Forsyth maintains his colleagues will not compromise on economic mat- ters and still refuse on principle to include in the contract cer- tain demandsthey feel are not labor concerns. Nevertheless, GEO said they plan to present the Administra- tion today with a slashed eco- thing' on the Diag By STU McCONNELL What do you say to a thirty- foot stack of dodecahedrons? Thousands of students were fac- ed with that question yesterday as they walked out of afternoon classes and saw an enormous assemblage of wood beams, canvas and steel joints perch- ed at the north end of the Diag. Was it a mirage? Was it a sacrifice to the gods, left out- side the walls of the Graduate Libraryas tribute? More than one student walking by the con- trantion could only exclaim: "What is that thing?" THE NIGHT HAS PASSED; no Greeks have emerged from the belly of the thing to put our campus to the sword, and now the story can be told. The pyra- mid - shaped structure, 29 feet high by 40 feet wide, is a sculp- ture erected on the Diag to commemorate Homecoming, Halloween and the looth anni- versary of the University's Col- lege of Architecture and Urban Planning. See THAT, Page 9 nomic proposal not come close sity position. that still does to the Univer- SPECIAL GEO bargainer on economics, Bob Milbrath called GEO's new tuition cut proposal significant since it costs the University less because some tuition is paid by grants and the University only pays the dif- ference between the grants and the (calculated tuitions)." But it is doubtful the Univer- sity will appreciate any of those considerations because admin- istrators say they already know the terms they will accept. "The final economic package has to amount to (only a) five per cent (increase)," or a 3.2 per cent increase in pay and a freeze at last year's tuition rate amounting to the equivalent of a 9.7 per cent tuition decrease over one year," according to Forsyth. See GEO, Page 12 became the first of the three convicted men closest to Rich- ard Nixon - and the highest ranking member of the Nixon administration to date - to be imprisoned. His lawyer said he will con- tinue to fight for reversal of Ehrlichman's two Watergate convictions in the high court. Unless the prison time is re- duced later throughtapplication to the sentencing judges, Ehr- lichman must serve a minimum of 21 years before he becomes eligible for parole. JOHN HADDIN, administrator of the prison camp, said Ehr- lichman "doesn't want any com- munication except from his fam- ily and attorneys." The balding, portly Ehrlich- man entered the camp at 12:30 p.m. (EDT), about an hour aft- er the judges in Washington or- dered him to report there by noon Nov. 1. His lawyer had made the -request for immedi- ate imprisonment about 9:30 a.m. and he said Ehrlichman, who obviously was awaiting word in Arizona, seemed in good spirits. Ehrlichman, Nixon's domestic counselor and his No. 2 aide, was convicted and sentenced in both the so-called White House "pl'imbers" case and in the Wa- tergate cover-up. His appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals was rejected in each case. Court sources said that the lawyer, Stuart Stiller, walked into the judges' office yester- day morning, without any ad- vance notice, and said Ehrlich- man wanted to begin his sen- tence. Since he moved out of his home in Seattle and separated from his wife, Ehrlichman has become a virtual recluse. He grew a beard and set to work writing novels. The first, called "The Company" was published this year. Another is in the works. He says he has no in- tention of writing a book about Watergate as his co-defendants, Mitchell and Haldeman, are doing. Ford tightens nuclear policy By AP and Reuter President Ford yesterday an- nounced a basic shift in Amer- ica's nuclear philosophy in a new attempt to prevent the diversion of peaceful nuclear material for weapons. The President disclosed his move ' while campaigning in Ohio, but soecific details were issued in Washington in what the White House described as a major policy statement. IN THE statement. Ford said he had decided the U.S. should not proceed with the "commer- cialization" of nuclear repro- cessing - the extraction of weapons-grade plutonium from spent nuclear fuel - until ways were found to prevent the use of reprocessing equipment to manufacture nuclear weapons. He also called on all nuclear- exoorting nations to exercise "maximum restraint" in their exports of sensitive technology to other countries for at least the next three years. U.S. officials said, however, that Ford's statement would have no effect on the French sale of nuclear reprocessing equipment to Pakistan, or West Germany's sale of similar fa- cilities to Brazil. FORD ALSO said he was serv- ing notice that the U.S. would cut off all supplies of nuclear See FORD, Page 9 Daily Photo by ANDY FREEBERG THE THIRTY-FOOT HIGH stack of dodecahedrons will be on display in the center of the diag, during homecoming weekend, for the benefit of any student who cares to face it. Dates for flu shots here set By ENID GOLDMAN A two-day campus swine flu innoculation program will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 16, according to the schedule set yesterday by the Washtenaw County Health Department and University officials. On the 16th, persons between the ages of 18 and 65 can receive the free swine flu vaccine from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Michigan Union, the Central Campus Recreation Building on South Forest, and at the NorthCampus Commons. THE FOLLOWING DAY the vaccine will he offered from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Union, the central campus recreation build- ing and the intramural building on Hoover Street. Originally the County Health Department proposed to operate campus clinics over three days, but instead decided that, "two days might do the trick, as students living throughout the city may attend other public clinics," assistant director Richard Yar- main explained. The county Health Department will operate clinics November 11 at the University Hospital, Towsley Center from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and at Briarwood Mall from 4 p.m.-8 p.m. ON NOVEMBER 12 the vaccine will be distributed at the Towsley Center from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, November 14, clinics will be conducted from 1 p.m.- 7 p.m. at Pioneer High school, 601 West Stadium Blvd., at Huron See LOCAL, Page 2 Nostalgic pep rally proves successful By SHELLEY WOLSON Screams, cheers and toilet paper fights set the tone of the third annual Homecoming pep rally yesterday, held out- side of Sigma Chi fraternity.
