The picture was one of in- credible property damage-thou- sands of buildings destroyed, a number of cities almost totally demolished and, according to pilots of military observation planes, entire villages "erased from the map." First reports of foreign casualties included three American dead, two presumed dead and one missing. Conservative estimates indicated more than 100,000 persons had been left homeless in Peru's cold Andean winter. Diplomats said the fears of the Peruvian government's disaster committee are based on the fact that the quake ripped away nat- ural dikes on one or more lakes high in the Andes. A murderous wall of lake water was said to have swept yesterday through a canyon known as Calle- jon de Huaylas, or Huaylas Alley, often called the Switzerland of Peru. The Huaylas canyon was hardest hit by the quake. The cities of Huaras and Caraz were reported 90 per cent destroyed and a mili- tary pilot said yesterday afternoon that Yungay "has disappeared-It is no more." An amateur radio operator re- ported yesterdoy from Caraz that tons of water, apparently pouring down from a ruptured natural dike, snfashed into the valley down and completed the destruction be- gun the day before. He estimated the death toll for the two days in Caras at 2,000. Other radio reports from the striken area along 600 miles of the Peruvian coast, where rescuers be- gan to move yesterday, put the total dead high in the thousands. An American priest calling from Huaras to a ham operator in Texas estimated the figure at 15,000. Despite the predictions of the government's disaster committee, the official toll of known dead stood Monday at 360-200 in the port city of Chimbote and 160 in Huaras. As the Peruvian government mounted massive relief operations, a worldwide aid movement got un- der way Monday. Neighboring Chile reported im- mediately with material aid. A Chilean air force transport plane landed in Lima late yesterday afternoon with blankets, medi- cines and other emergency pro- visions. In Washington, the Organiza- tion of American States met Mon- day to consider forms of aid. In New York, United Nations Secre- tary-General U Thant cabled the Lima government that his organ- ization was "ready to offer . . every assistance within the re- sources available."' Newton verdict overruled Conviction of Black Panther voided by court I SAN FRANCISCO (N) - The voluntary manslaughter con- viction of Black Panther co- founder Huey P. Newton was reversed Friday by the Cali- fornia Court of Appeal. The three-judge panel ruled the trial judge failed to give properI instruction to the jury.I Newton, Black Panther minis- ter of defense, was convicted in September 1968 of the fatal shoot- ing of an Oakland policeman in 1967. He currently is serving a 2 to 15 year prison sentence in the California Men's Colony at San Luis Obispo, and twice had been denied parole. The decision becomes effective in 60 days. A spokesman for the attonrey general's office said the state probably will ask for a re- hearing of the case.- bail wrs denied pending appeall bythe state. Justices Joseph Rattigan, Pres- ton Devine and Winslow Christian returned a unanimous 51-page decision overturning the convic- tion. Newton originally was charged with murder in the death of of- ficer John Frey, assault with a deadly weapon upon office Herbert Heans, and kidnaping of a man named Dell Ross. Alameda County Superior Court Nudge Monroe Friedman granted Newton's motion for acquittal on the kidnaping charge and the jury acquitted him of the assault' charge, but convicted him on thel lesser manslaughter count. The shootout, on Oct. 28, 1967, came after Frey halted a car New- ton was driving. Heans came to Frey's aid, and the shooting left Frey dead and Heans wounded. Newton was shot in the abdo- men and testified he was uncon- scious or semi-conscious from the time he was wounded until he found himself at the entrance of ~a hospital, with no knowledge of how he arrived there. The appeal court upheld defense attorney Charles Garry's assertion; that there was prejudical error in the trial judge's failure to instruct the jury that unconsciousness could be a complete defense to a charge of criminal homicide. -Daily-David Baker Working onl the Grad Construction work continues to drag on, behind schedule as usual, a§ workmen put the finishing touches on the multi-million dollar Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library. 2,000 ATTEND: Actions in Detroit 1 protest war, killings Over 2,000 people rallied in Detroit Saturday morning as part of a nationwide action protesting the war in Indochina and the killings at Kent State, Jackson State, and Augusta. Sponsored by the Detroit Coalition to End the War and the Student Mobilization Committee, the rally at Kennedy Square followed a march of about 1,000 people from the Wayne State University campus. Following the rally, some 500 demonstrators departed for nearby Selfridge Air Force Base where they staged a "Picnic for Peace." Selfridge had been ordered closed the day before because of the possibility that "militant groups with a long history of violence," would attend the picnic. There were no inci- dents at the picnic, which was " -Daily-David Baker PROF. RICHARD MANN blasts Senate Assembly for not tapping the opinions of those involved in last term's BAM strike before acting on a proposal to penalize striking faculty members. As- sembly expressed opposition to the proposal at yesterday's meeting. 'INHERENT RISKS': Assembly hits strike p ro posal By ROB BIER Declaring that existing procedures are "appropriate" for dealing with striking faculty members, Senate Assembly yesterday refused to endorse a proposed regental policy which would dock the pay of faculty members for "withholding services" during class boycotts. The motion, introduced by journalism Prof. Robert Bishop, and passed 31-12, stated, "the Senate Assembly feels that no new policy statement is necessary." However, it went on to state, "If such a policy is to be promulgated, it Is strongly recommended that a committee representative of the entire University be formed to study the issue." The major concern expressed by most Assembly members was over the questions of academic freedom and the role of the professor raised by the proposed policy. Others such as education Prof. Claude Eggertsen, expressed concern that such action by the Regents would erode the position of Assembly as a recognized faculty voice. "Adopting this is just playing the game the Regents set for us," Eggertsen said. "If we do that we have repudiated all we have done toward a role in policy-making over the past few years." Psychology Prof. Raphael Ezekiel delivered perhaps the most impassioned speech of the meeting in support of individual freedom for university professors. "To me a professor is not respectable per- son. He is a maverick, if he chooses to be. He is with young people and he must act honestly with them. He may be the last adult they come in contact with who is only acting as truth dictates to him." Anthropology Prof. Gloria Marshall, speaking for black faculty .members, told Assembly she felt that in going on strike she was not "withholding services," but was "extending the educational process." "This proposed policy is a move to further repress those of us who want to change the University," she said. "Do you want to control the strikes? Or do you want to find if maybe your colleagues have a different concept of what it means to support a BAM strike?" psychology Prof. Richard Mann asked the Assembly members. He questioned the lack of involvement by strik- ing teaching fellows and faculty members in the Assembly debate. Prof. Gerald Abrams, of the medical school and one of the faculty members who helped draft the regental proposal, said, "There d was the understanding on the committee that there will be a policy. n We worked under that presumption and tried to get the best possible." "We didn't see it asdpunitive action. It's a matter of equity. If a faculty member withholds his services, he should not be paid for it," e Abrams said. e A large number of other reasons for opposing the regental meas- ure were advanced by members of Assembly during yesterday's special meeting which was called specifically to discuss the proposed strike n policy. Crawford said he opposed the policy because "this specific form of non-professional behavior should not be singled out from all - others" and because he believes the policy would be unenforceable. y Assembly's action came in response to a proposal presented to the Regents last month and subsequently tabled until Assembly had a chance to respond. The proposal would have set up rules and pro- icedures for cutting the pay of faculty members who cancel classes ;h for the purpose of supporting actions such as last term's Black - Action Movement strike. e While the Regents amended the original document, submitted by a committee of two faculty members and two deans, to leave pay - withholding and appeal procedures within the departments, the policy - was still not acceptable to Assembly. dr The effect of yesterday's action is uncertain since the repre- f sentative faculty body has no decision-making power and can only make recommendations to the Regents. le Should the Regents decide a policy is necessary in spite of Assem- bly's action, then they would be free to adopt a permanent policy- n or an interim one, pending the outcome of a study such as the one sh suggested in the Assembly resolution. y Several faculty representatives yesterday expressed concern that such a study would involve Assembly in rule-making for the entire n University community. Bishop countered that while the input for the o study was to be University-wide, the policy formed would be ap- plicable only to faculty members.

D. Plotner, one of the largest dealers in new and used bicycles. In business for 25 years at his William St. store, Plotner says a cycling club would be profitable because Ann Arbor is currently experiencing a "bicycle boom." "It's hard to tell how long it will last, of course. Right now people are interested in cycling-they're conscious of exercising, of pollution and economy-it's far more economical to ride a bike than drive a car," he says. Many students, as any glance around the campus will con- firm, apparently agree with Plotner. "I had a car for a while but it's not worth it," says Sue Vandenburg. "Parking a car is a pain but there are bike racks all over. "With a bike I think I get out more," she adds. "On Sat- urday's especially, I ride down hits Ann Arbor another source of used bikes, the supply coming from bikes im- pounded and not reclaimed. But a spokesman for the police depart- ment says the auctions can only take place "when we have enough -about four times a year." Plotner attributes the low-used bike market to the recession in cycling that has occurred over the last four or five years. "When more students were riding bikes about six years ago, we built up a surplus of used ones," he explains. But the bicycle lull during the late 60's kept the surplus from growing. And now that interest has renewed, that surplus has been used up, Plotner adds. Getting a bike, used or new, is only half of the problem, however. The other half is keeping it-many times easier said than done. Although there are quite an assortment of bicylcle locks available and plenty of iron racks around, there are appar- ently just as large an assort- *
