'U' to conduct study of research office With the coming retirement of A. Geoffrey Norman as University vice president for research, a faculty com- mittee has been formed by President Robben Fleming to examine the future of that office. The committee has been instructed by Fleming to review the office and suggest a possible realignment, includ- ing reassessment of the present list of University units under the office's juris- diction. According to Fleming the review is prompted by a changing relationship between the University and the federal I government. Changes in the govern- ment's aid programs to the University, Fleming explained, may alter funding sources and create "new research in- teresta." Norman's retirement, he said, "fur- nished the obvious moment to re-exam- ine the nature of the office." The faculty committee to review the office is headed by Charles Overberger, chairman of the chemistry department and director of the Macromolecular Re- search Center. The rest of the commit- tee members are mostly from the science and research fields. Vice presidents, unit directors, and others, however, have been invited by the committee to present their views on the issue, accoridng to James Lesch, assistant vice president for academic affairs and committee staff member. The report of the committee is ex- pected by the end of the summer. Norman, who is 65, normal retire- ment age for University officials, will remain on his job through the end-of the year. On Jan. 1, 1972, he will retire from his position and take up a position as head of the University's Institute for Environmental Quality. The institute, Norman says, is design- ed to research environmental problems and train personnel for work in these areas. In both research and training, he says, the institute will approach envir- onmental problems on an interdiscipli- nary level. Norman was a research biochemist and botany professor before becoming vice president for research in 1964. V.P.

By JIM IRWIN - More than half of the 10,000 war protesters ar- rested during the Mayday demonstrations in Wash- ington, D.C. did not violate the law, the District of Co- lumbia Human Relations Commission claimed last week. The commission also said that among those who may have vio- lated some law, only about one fourth had been arrested while committing an illegal act. In a 59-page report released last week. the commission said the principal criterion for arrests appeared to be "evidence of youthfulness," such as long hair, Associated Press beards, or casual dress rather r than "evidence of an unlawful Too soon to smile? act."

LEADERS HOPEFUL: Compromise on draft bill fails in Congress WASHINGTON (A') - Senate- House conferees failed again yes- terday to compromise a dispute over a war pullout amendment. Another attempt will be made Monday to settle the argument which has held up passage of- a two-year draft extension bill. Sen. John Stennis iD-Miss.), chairman of the Senate con- ferees, and Rep. F. Edward He- bert (D-La.),-chairman of the House conferees, -told newsmen there is no unbreakable dead- lock. "I am quite hopeful we can settle this next week," Stennis" said. Hebert said he too is hope- ful. The draft law expired on June 30, and the hang-up on the bill to extend it for two years is an amendment by Sen. Mike Mans- field (D-Mont.) calling for with- drawal of all U.S. forces in In- dochina within nine months of enactment of the legislation -- contingent on the release of American prisoners of war. The Mansfield amendment, approved by the Senate but re- jected by House, is in the form of a congressional declaration of policy but would not -have the force of law. Hebert said the Senate-House conference committee "is trying to work out suitable language using the Mansfield amendment This indicated that some form of the amendment will be in- cluded in the final draft of the legislation. Some of the con- ferees said they were close to an agreement, but others disputed this. "No, we are not close,' said Sen. Henry Jackson (D-Wash.). "We are right back at the basic problem-the date problem."
