Result of NUC convention unclear By CHRIS PARKS Daly News Analysis After five days of caucuses, work- shops, and plenaries. the New Univer- sity Conference (NUC) wound up its five-day convention leaving doubts in the minds of many. delegates included. as to what exactly had been accom- plished. NUC is a large, amorphous organiz- ation composed largely of faculty and teaching fellows from universities around the nation. The major thrust of the group's activities is change in pre- sent educational systems to accommo- date a more radical perspective. Beyond that, however, the group's aim are unclear and seem to vary from delegation to delegation and even from delegate to delegate. Debate during several days of plenary sessions clearly revealed the kind of fac- tionalism which has often plagued the radical movement. The convention seemed to split into two major contending factions, those supporting the proposals of the Labor Caucus and those aligned behind the Open Up She Schools (OUTS) pro- posals OUTS has constituted a major part of the NUC program, at least until this convention. The OUTS program centers around open admissions to colleges for "every- one who wants to go". It also includes so called "student power" issues. The other major force, the Labor Cau- cus, takes a more militant pro?labor stance concentrating on socialist or- ganization of working classes rather than purely student-oriented demands. The caucus proposes that NUC take a more active role in organization and support of education workers unions, feeling this is a more permanent power base than student organizing. The Labor Caucus and OUTS repre- sent, within NUC, the classic argument between student power and labor power which is currently dividing the left movement. OUTS sees campus revolutionary struggle as basically centering around See RESULTS, Page 10 NATURAL SCIENCE AUD. was the sight of the New University Can- ference held over the weekend.

HIGH TIME: olice burn quantity of confiscated grass on govt. WASHINGTON ( ,- The Supreme Court yesterday granted a hearing to t h e Nixon administration on its contention that f e d e r a l agents can wiretap "suspic- ious" domestic organiza- tions without a judge's per- mission. The case came as a result of a. ruling in Detroit by U.S. District Court Judge Damon Keith that government wiretaps on Rainbow People's Party (formerly White Panther Par- ty) official. Pun Plamondon were illegally obtained. The government contends there is "no visible distinction" between wiretapping "subver- sive" domestic groups such as the White Panthers, and wire- tappingto intercept foreign in- telligence - which is legal - without a judge's permission. Plamondon, along with three other party members is charg- ed with the 1968 bombing of the Ann Arbor offices of the Cen- tral Inteligency Agency. In another decision yesterday, the court ruled by a 6-3 vote that persons under 21 may be denied the right to trial by jury in criminal proceedings.

The haul, described by jubil- ant police officers as the larg- est seizure of "uncut" mari- juana in the city's history, was made by city patrolmen in- vestigating a stolen credit card report early yesterday morn- ing. At approximately 2:45 a.m. yesterday, a routine police pa- trol stopped a car answering the description of a vehicle which had passed an allegedly stolen credit card at- the Westgate Standard gas station. A check of the car and its contents uncovered two suit- cases and seven plastic sacks containing freshly cut mari- juana, which police speculate was locally grown. The car's three occupants, two 21-year-old men and an 18-year-old woman, were taken to police headquarters for ques- tioning but were released pend- marijuana by state crime lab- ing positive analysis of t h e marijuana by state crime lab- oratory officers. Though detectives yesterday declined to place a monetary value estimate on the confiscat- ed marijuana, observers esti- mated the worth of the load at approximately $2,500 at current wholesale prices. "Any figure you could place. on it would be a guess," ob- served Detective Sergeant Cal- vin Hicks as he lifted a twen- ty pound bag of the marijuana from the trunk of his unmarked. patrol car at the county build- ing loading dock. In the small basement incin- erator room at the county building, the sacks of mari- juana marked "State Police - Evidence" were heaped against the wall while one of the de- tectives lit the funnace. The two detectives pushed the unweildy sacks into the fur- nace, one at a time, and the room began to fill with smoke. But smoke was about all the marijuana did; it refused to burn.
