Draft opponents face uphill struggle

By BARRY GREEN
Daily News Analysis
Like spectators at the Ali-Frazier fight, ob-
servers of the Senate draft debate are hanging
onto the edges of their seats, while the fight
goes into the last round.
Senators John Stennis (D-Miss.) and Mike
Gravel (D-Alaska) have vowed to fight to
the finish on whether the Military Service
Act should be extended beyond its July 1
expiration date -- and no one is placing
bets on a possible winner.
Stennis, floor-manager for the bill, ap-
pears to be leading at the moment, while his
opponent Gravel, who has threatened a fili-
buster should the bill not be amended, faces
a variety of opposition to ending the draft.
Gravel told The Daily Thursday that a fili-

buster would not be used until "absolutely es-
sential." Gravel said he plans to delay a final
vote on the draft bill until the last possible
moment, and 'then will take the floor, hoping
to talk the bill to death.
He further noted that there are several
amendments yet to be voted on, including
one proposed by Senators Mark Hatfield (R-
Ore.) and George McGovern (D-S.D.) which
would end the Vietnam War by the year's end.
Gravel said he also intended to introduce
several amendments.
He calculated that debate could be pro-
longed until the middle of June, after which
he will begin filibustering until the expiration
date has passed.

New bond set
at $50,000
for Plamondon
By CHRIS PARKS
Bond for Pun Plamondon, officer of the Rainbow Peo-
ple's Party (formerly the White Panther Party) was reduced
yesterday from $100,000 to $50,000 by Detroit federal dis-
trict judge Damon Keith.
Plamondon is being held along with fellow party mem-
bers John Sinclair and Jack Forrest on conspiracy charges
stemming from the 1968 bombing of the Ann Arbor offices
of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The University Health Serv-
ice Building, which provides for
the health needs of the Univer-
sity community, will soon un-
dergo a $300,000 renovation
program to help the 32-year-
old structure more adequately
serve the campus population.
At their May meeting, the
Regents approved the massive
renovation program, citing the
building's deficiencies in elec-
trical power and provisions for
the handicapped and the struc-
ture's failure to meet current
fire safety standards.
AN ORDER
It is not often that The Daily
tells its readers what to do, bull
there are exceptions to every
rule.
On Tuesday morning, June
1, Co not rush out of the house
at eight in the morning, just
to grab hold of your Daily be-
fore the neighbors steal it.
That's right, let them get
there first for once because the
crew on Maynard Street is tak-
ing a day off for Memorial Day
weekend. After all, who needs
an excuse for a holiday?

The renovation schedule sub-
mitted by Vice President Wilbur
Pierpont, University chief finan-
cial officer, calls for the work
to be done in two stages over a
period of eight to ten months.
Dr. Robert Anderson, director
of the Health Service, says the
initial phase of the project will
involve visible, physical changes
to the building.
Ramps will be built through-
out the building to make the
passage of handicapped persons
easier, and fire doors, fire
sprinklers, and a fire alarm
system will be added, Anderson
explains.
The second stage of the re-
novation calls for a new elec-
trical power substation, the de-
velopment of clinical and lab-
oratory areas and the remodel-
ing of a kitchen areadthat cur-
rently cannot be used.
The new kitchen will provide
food for in-patients. At the
present time, food must be
brought from the Michigan
League.
Already, new c o 1 o r f u l fire
doors h a v e b e e n installed
throughout the building. As
Anderson points out the doors
not only look attractive, they
also provide any easy way to

find your way to any given area.
With the addition of the fire
protection devices which fulfill
the fire safety requirements on
the building, currently unoccu-
pied space on the fourth floor
will be utilized.
Dr. Anderson says he hopes
to construct a multipurpose
clinic there to provide increased
facilities for family planning,
contraception information and
general medical services.
In addition, an area will be
set aside for health education
which will include audio-visual
aids describing common medical
problems and diseases, such as
the symptoms of mononucleosis
or breast cancer.
An unused kitchen on the
fourth floor will be altered to
accommodate an electrocardi-
gram room and a new larger
allergy clinic,
The facility's main medical
clinic will be modernized with
additions to the waiting area
and the installation of counters
to replace the desks scattereed
throughout the clinic.
Also included in the main
clinic overhaul will be the addi-
tion of a "quicky clinic" where
colds and minor ailments can
