"The publication of the papers vio- lates the security regulations of the United States," Laird said. He said as far as he is concerned the report still is secret, despite publication of lengthy excerpts from it in the Times. "It seems to me it falls on us to call these matters of disclosure of highly classified matter to the attention of the Justice Department," he said. "This I have done." Laird said he had asked the Justice Department to investigate how the Times got the material. See N.Y.

By a 6-4 vote with one abstention, the massive com- plex was given final approval before an apparently evenly divided group of nearly 300 people. The council vote changes the zoning of over 100 acres of vacant land near the junction of State St. and I-94. It thus allows construction of the 800,000 sq. ft. center, to be called Briarwood, to begin. The center will include at T least three large depart- l [e rafion ment stores, and is ex- pected to be one of the d]u h largest centers of its kind dodge u h l in the area.

Later, they proceed towards Mason Hall for counseling and placement tests (below). Freshmen flock to 'U' for summer orientation By P. E. BAUER The sound of 120 sleepy groans greeted orientation leaders yes- terday morning at Alice Lloyd Hall as they attempted to arouse groups of visiting freshmen at 6:30 a.m. The freshmen, the first of an estimated 480 new students scheduled to visit the campus each week during the summer, will be getting their first view of University life the hard way- standing in lines, wearing name tags and filling out about eight forms a day. In an attempt to test, counsel and register the entire freshman class, the University maintains the summer orientation pro- gram, which also seeks to accli- mate the students to the cam- pus in just three days. Because they have much to learn in a short time, the new freshmen, living in Alice Lloyd during their three day stay, are purposely kept busy. "The first day there's a meet- ing, and a lot of forms to fill, out, a tour of campus, and a micro-lab. The next day there's a lot of tests-reading speed and accuracy, the OASIS test and all the language tests and the chemistry test. The day after that they have to do the usual registration routine - appoint- ments with their counselors, classification, scheduling and registration," says Jeff Kaplan, '73, an orientation leader. In between all of these activi- ties, the freshmen take time out for a tour of the Undergraduate Library, a discussion of contra- ceptives at University Health Service, and a meeting with Re- serve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) instructors at North Hall. They can also receive infor- mation about various campus activities by going to the Union ballroom, where booths are set up to dispense information about campus organizations. Despite all of the hurry and bustle, many freshmen seem to be enjoying their first real ex- perience as students at the Uni- versity. "Even though the program is so structured-most of our time during the day is spent accord- ing to a schedule-I don't really mind," comments one freshman girl. Says one freshman, "Every- one warned me about dorm food, so I went in expecting the worst. You know, it really isn't that bad."
