VIOLAT'ORS SNEER: Regents growl; K(nauss pledges no cohabitating Iy The Associated Press President Nixon's surprise statement Thursday night that he had accepted an in- vitatio by Chinese Premier Chou En Lai to visit the People's Republic of China r a i s e d considerable com- ment yesterday as more de- tails of the agreement were revealed. In statements and reports from the State Department U.S. policy in the wake of the agree- ment was somewhat clarified. Major sources in the State Department said yesterday that there is no prospect that formal diplomatic relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China will be es- tablished prior to the Nixon trip, and there is no certainty they will necessarily result from the visit. However, sources said. the State Department will announce in the very near future a re- vised U.S. policy toward China's long-standing bid for admission to the United Nations. Asked how the Vietnam prob- leni fits into discussions in Pe- king. one official said: "Well, obviouslywhen coun- tries of the magnitude and world concerns of the United States and the People's Republic of China alter their relationship, it must affect other parts of the world. "Idwill, of course, have to say that in a quest for peace in the world, peace in Southeast Asia has to be a torensost. immediate objective." And although Nixon had said he would announce along about now his stand on admitting mainland China to the United Nations-without sacrificing the membership of Taiwan - this now will be left to the State Department. Sources said this is expected in the very near future. The Nixon visit was arranged last weekend by Chou and Dr. Henry Kissinger, Nixon's advisor for national security affairs, who made a secret stop in Peking during an 11-day trip around the world. Kissinger flew secretly from Pakistan to Peking last Friday and flew out Sunday. His van- ishing act coincided with reports that he had a stomach upset-a coverup ploy. , The source said plans for the See CHINA, Page 6 By ZACHARY SCHIl.LER Though the Ofice of Student Services Housing Policy Board last month scrapped its own rules barring cohabitation in University residence halls, Uni- versity officials say they will continue to enforce a ruling barring premarital sexual inter- course in the dormitories. Vice President for Student Services Robert Knauss issued a statement Wednesday reiterat- ing the University ban on co- habitation and promising vigi- lant action against such prac- tices. Knauss denied in his state- ment that the rule had actually been abolished, stating that when the housing board noticed that behaviour such as stealing, deviant behaviour, extortion and assault were not mentioned in the rules, "the . . . committee thought it appropriate to delete a specific mention of cohabita- tion." "The housing office . . . has an obligation under Michigai law to refuse to allow lewd and lascivious behaviour in its fa- cilities," Knauss noted. Jerry DeGrieck, the former h Iousing policy board member who introduced the resolution wiping out the ban in the rules, vehemently disagrees w it h Knauss' interpretation of the situation, however. Also, he says, "Neither the University nor the housing of- fice should condone, endorse. frown upon or have any other attitude or policy toward the sexual practices of consenting University students. "For the University to do so' would be the antithesis of a free and enlightened University," De- Grieck says, warning that to en- force any anti-cohabitation rule would necessitate the establish- ment of a "police and spy sys- tem within the residence halls. At yesterday's meeting of the Regents, Regent Robert Brown (R-Kalamazoo) said that De- Grieck's widely publicized state- ment that the old rule "has nev- er been enforced and cannot be eniorced," would, if it were a view held by other members of the board, indicate that "we're in serious trouble." President Fleming assured Brown that the University would "enforce (the cohabita- tion ban) to the best of our ability," butaBrown nevertheless asked for an investigation by Knauss of the views of the ic- nainder of the housiing board's msembers. University officials say that the existence of a state statute barring cohabitation would per- mit them, and indeed obligates them, to enforce a ban on the practice.

Twro railroads struek, Bell strike The following is a summary compiled by the Associated Press of the major strikes either pending or in progress around the country: RAILS - The Southern Rail- way and the Union Pacific were struck yesterday by the AFL- CIO United Transportation Un- ion and supervisory personnel of DOING HIS DUTY? Taylor's testimony draws ire By ANITA CRONE Student reaction to the testimony this week before the House Internal Security Commit- tee of Student Government Council memberY Brad Taylor ranged from, "he was only doing his duty," to "he is betraying the student body." Taylor testified for two days about the Student and Youth Conference on a People's Peace, held at the University last spring to map out plans for last May's anti-war demonstra- tions in Washington, Some student critics of Taylor have even charged that he lied during his testimony to the committee this week. During his first day of testimony, Taylor identified Brian Spears, who chaired several, sessions of the conference, as the person who placed a Vietcong flag on the speakers platform at the conference plenary session. Spears told The Daily that he did not place the flag on the platform. Taylor claims he attended the conference as a representative of the "Free Campus News Service," a branch of the Young Americans for Freedom, an organization of which Taylor is a member. SGC administrative vice-president Jay Hack said that Taylor told him "on three occasions" that he did not attend the conference. Hack said that Taylor's testimony describing an alleged "disruption" of the conference was false, "no groups really disrupted the con- ference." "In response to Taylor's assertion that Robert Williams was 'heavily booed' during a speech he gave at the conference, I would say that Williams received a standing ovation at the conclusion of his speech." Jerry DeGrieck, former SGC executive vice- president, lashed out at Taylor, stating that during his campaign for SGC he had "given no indication that he would play the role of a spy for MISC."
