Saturday, June 16, 1973 THE SUMMER [TAIL,( Page Three TALKS BEGIN MONDAY Brezhnev visit starts today MOSCOW (P) - Leorid Brezh- nev is flying to Washington to- day for summit meetings that he says will be of "historic im- portance." After his arrival, the Soviet Communist party chief is sched- uled to spend the weekend at the presidential retreat at Camp Da- vid in. Maryland before starting his talks with President Nixon in the White House on Monday. THIS IS the first trip to the United States by the Soviet Un- ion's top leader. Alexei Kosygin, the premier, went to Glassboro, N.J., in the summer of 1967 for talks with President Lyndon Johnson. The late Nikita Khrush- chez had a whirlwind coast-to- coast tour as guest of President Dwight Eisenhower in 1959. After a round of talks and din- ners in Washington, Brezhnev and Nixon'will fly to the Western White House in San Clemente, Calif., on Friday. Brezhnev re- turns to camp David on Sunday 'U'hit by power failure experts remain in dark By GORDON ATCHESON The air conditioners abruptly halted, the clocks stopped dead, and the campus would have been plunged into total- darkness, if it hadn't been broad daylight. Many a worried student and faculty member may have thought the day of judgement had finally arrived. But hap- pily such was not the case. A BUG merely developed in the University's electrical system, cutting off power to the central and athletic cam- puses as well as to the medical center for half an hour be- ginning at 9:15 yesterday morning. The origin of the bug is as yet undetermined, according to 'U' engineering services manager Ken Beaudry. Detroit Edison workmen closed one of the University's power units to conduct routine maintenance. Mysteriously, the second unit overloaded causing the power failure. THE MEDICAL CENTER quickly switched to their aux- iliary generators. But other affected areas were forced to survive without electricity, returning the campus to Stone Age conditions until power was restored. "All our calculations show the failure just should not have happened," Beaudry claimed. He promised a full investiga- tion of the situation. "I won't take the easy way out and offer some flimsy ex- planation, but we just don't have all the facts now," he said. for an overnight stay before leav- ing the following day for Moscow. The June 25 return date is a day earlier than originally anticipat- ed. The possibility of side trips to the U. S. Space Center at Hous- ton and other cities was ruled out as being "impossible to fit into the schedule," according to Ben- ry Kissinger, Nixon's special ad- viser. IN AN AGENDA embracing "all important questions in the realm of Soviet - American rela- tions," Brezhnev and Nixon will be negotiating the future pattern of relations, from strategic arms limits to cultural exchanges. Moscow - based diplomats say Nixon is at psychological disad- vantage. They refer to last year's sum- mit when they felt Nixon had an edge, proven by Brezhnev's will- ingness to receive him after the American mining of North Viet- namese waters, an unmistak- able challenge to Moscow. THIS TIME, because of the Watergate scandal, they contend the nositions are reversed. A Soviet official recently indi- cated to a visiting foreign Com- monist that the Russians intend- ed to profit from this. Nixon needs a se-cess, he said, and the Soviets will provide it. "Afterwardsu'e will present him with the hilt," he boasted. IN AN UNPRE'EDENTED news co"fere"-e with U. S. cor- resnondents Thursday night, Brezhnev do-ied that he was go- ing to the U-ited States "in the hone or with the intention of hringing nressire to bear on the President in connection with what is sirely a domestic affair." "In fact," he said, "the thooght has never entered my head as to whether or not Presi- dent Nixon hasalost any influence or has gained any influence as a result of" Watergate."

"In no year since I have been here," he said, "have there been so many financial im- ponderables." THE BIGGEST "imponderable" is the uncertain state of the University's resi- dency rules. Because of Monday's Supreme Court ruling on the University of Con- necticut regulations, University chief counsel Roderick Daane concedes that the "portents are bad" for continuation of the present rules. A final decision is expected Monday from, the high court when it rules on North Carolina residency requirements- which are identical to the University's. But administrators are not optimistic. Fleming estimated that it will cost the University some $2.5 million if it loses the residency case. And Pierpont added that determining residency for the hun- dreds of students who applied would be "an expensive administrative process- a long, laborious process. It would be a massive problem." IN OTHER ACTION yesterday, the Re- gents approved a five per cent across the board increase in monthly rents for Uni- versity-owned family housing. The increase, which affects the North- wood and University Terrace housing areas, was substituted in place of the original two per cent rise advocated by residents there. Housing director John Feldkamp and Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson said that the higher figure was needed to offset additional capital costs.
