Meanwhile, the White House announced last night that Presi- dent Nixon will meet this morning with eight university presidents to discuss the spreading campus dis- ruptions and the war in Southeast Asia. Yesterday, Nixon met for nearly an hour with six students from Kent State University and dis- cussed methods of preventing a recurrence of the fatal confronta- tion at their Ohio campus Mon- ' day. In that incident, four students were shot and killed by National Guardsmen patrolling the univer- sity.

The amount of payment offered to the schools is based on a. ap- plication of the Ann Arbor school tax rate to an estimate of North- wood Apartments current prop- erty value.a The report came from a rate committee mnade up of representa- tives of the Student Advisory Commitee on Housing, the North- wood-Terrace Association and the Housing Staff.
