S. Supreme Court. The justices dissolved a lower court decision upholding University of North Carolina residency rules- regulations identical to those, in forceatthe University of Michigan. - -THE REQUIREMENT in question stipu- lates that out-of-state students desiring residency and lower- in-state tuition rates usut take no more than three credit hours of class while living in the state for six consecutive months. Because of the Supreme Court ruling and previous judicial action, it appears likely that further appeal of Circuit Court Judge William Ager's May decision to strike down the University's regulations would fail. The fiscal consequences for the Univer- sity in this matter could run into untold millions of dollars. THE SUPREME COURT did not directly invalidate the North Carolina rule. Instead the justices ordered the matter back to the state court for a new judge- ment, in light of a high court decision handed down last week. At that time, the court struck down Connecticut's student residency law because it violated the due process clause of the Constitution. The roundabout method of decision on the part of the justices surprised some ob- servers, but most feel the net effect of the ruling is still to disallow the residency rule. WITH THE END of the present regula- tion, University administrators are faced AP Photo with the problem of creating new ones, PRESIDENT NIXON and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev greet each other cheerfully as the Communist Party general secre- acceptable to the courts.

See SUPREME, Page 10 N'ixon, By The AP and UPI WASHINGTON - President Nixon and Soviet Communist Party leader Leonid Brezhnev began their summit conference yesterday with mutual pledges to build world peace. They ended their day by ex- tolling new ties between the United States and the Soviet Union. "We have laid ,the groundwork for a significant improvement in our relations," the President said in an exchange of toasts with Brezhnev at a black-tie dinner at the White House. Meanwhile, assorted demonstrations pro- tested Brezhnev's visit. At least 20 people were arrested. NIXON AND BREZHNEV began the week of summit talks by discussing world problems for nearly four hours. Working through the lunch hour, the two leaders talked "on a philosophical plane" about maintaining the momentum estab- Brezhnev begin talks lished when Nixon visited Moscow last spring for their first summit meeting and reached an agreement to limit defensive nuclear weapons. Brezhnev in his toast reassured other nations, apparently including China, that they would not suffer in the growing de- tente between the United States and the Soviet Union. "IT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR to any- one who is at least slightly familiar with the course of events and with the nature ot development with Soviet-American re- lations, that their improvement in no way prejudices the interest of any third coun- try," he said. Today, the summit talks will move to specific items, with a discussion of im- proved trade between the two countries. The conference was protested by at least four separate groups. DEMONSTRATORS near the Soviet Em- bassy, which has been under a heavy security detail, protested the treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union. Police said 17 persons were arrested at the Embassy and charged with violating a regulation prohibiting demonstrations within 500 feet of an embassy. Three men were arrested at another demonstration near the White House where Brezhnev was being greeted by Nixon. They were charged with disorderly con- duct. APPROXIMATELY 200 persons marched near the Washington Monument to protest agreements between the U.S. and Russia. A demonstration at the State Depart- ment by about 100 American artists, most of them young ballet dancers, protested the appearance of Soviet artists in America. A report of the summit talks was given later to newsmen by Ronald Ziegler, the White House press secretary, and Leonid Zamyatin, general director of Tass, the Soviet news agency. ONE ITEM not raised was Soviet re- strictions on the emigration of Jews and other minorities. Zamyatin told a reporter that even asking about Soviet emigration policies was "tantamount to interfering in the domestic affairs of another country." Ziegler, for his part, reiterated the Nix- on administration policy against public discussion of the emigration problem. Nixon and Brezhnev spent an hour alone, except for a translator, and then were joined by others, including Secretary of State William Rogers, ,national security adviser Henry Kissinger, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Soviet Am- bassador Anatoly Dobrynin.
