ROTC board plan passed
(Continued from page 1) members increased to five.
David Awbrey, Hutchinson senior and student body president, called the plan "totally unacceptable."
The amendment was defeated.
Laird and James E. Seaver, chairman of the Western Civilization department, asked, after the council had voted to send the proposal to the University Senate, that a poll be taken to show how many members favored the minority report of the ROTC committee. The minority report, by Clifford S. Griffin, professor of history, had asked the University Senate to consider expelling ROTC from the campus and cancelling government contracts with the military.
Only 10 of the council members voted in favor of taking a poll. Two said they voted against the poll because there were elements in both reports with which they were in agreement.
Seaver said the council had not offered those "favoring the minority report an opportunity to speak up."
The duties of the proposed board would be to:
"A.-Secure the substitution, to the greatest extent practicable, of courses offered through regular academic departments for courses now offered through the military science departments, particularly those courses containing political or policy-oriented content.
"B.-Eliminate instruction and activity in the nature of military discipline, orientation and drill from credit bearing courses.
"C.—Closely review all nominations for appointments of ROTC instructors and, after conducting personal interviews with the nominees where possible, recommend to the Chancellor's office whether such nominations should be accepted.
"D—Provide such other advice and governance on ROTC affairs as may from time to time appear necessary or appropriate.
"E—Serve as a liaison to all elements of the University interested in or affected by the ROTC and its programs, which liaison shall include communication with the University Senate, the departments and schools of the University administration and periodic reports to these sectors of the University on the progress being made in implementing the Board's responsibilities. In particular, the Board should report by September, 1971, on the extent to which the substitution of courses offered through regular academic departments and the elimination of military discipline, orientation and drill from credit-bearing courses have been achieved.
"F.-Engage in such negotiation as is necessary at any level to implement the recommendations in A,B,C,D and E supra."

Undercover police officer called in conspiracy trial
CHICAGO (UPI)—An undercover police agent testified Thursday he never attempted to find out when, where or how an antwar demonstration leader's alleged proposition to murder police during the 1968 Democratic National Convention was to be carried out.
"I thought the plan might be revealed to me as it unfolded," policeman Robert Pierson, a key prosecution witness in the Chicago riot conspiracy trial, said.
Wednesday, Pierson testified that in masquerade he became Youth International Party (Yipie) potentate Jerry C. Rubin's bodyguard during the first part of convention week.
Rubin is a defendant in the trial of eight demonstration leaders charged with conspiring to incite riots during the convention.
He testified that at one point Rubin told him "we should isolate' one or two pigs and kill them."
Pierson answered that the day after the statement was made he saw Rubin jumping up and down during a wild police-protester battle in Grant Park screaming "Kill the pigs, kill the pigs."
Defense attorney Leonard I. Weinglass asked Pierson if he ever saw "anything accomplished in the scheme to kill policemen."
During a rigorous cross examination Thursday Pierson said he never questioned Rubin further about the statement.
The undercover agent said he considered that "in furtherance of the plan."
Weinglass asked Pierson if the phrase "Kill the pig" had not taken on the same common significance during convention week as the phrase "kill the umpire" has during a baseball game.
A prosecution attorney objected to the question.
Illinois Guard called
CHICAGO (UPI)—Gov. Richard Gobliew ordered more than 2,600 Illinois National Guardmen to duty Thursday to cope with rioting by radical demonstrators.
The judge sustained the objection. "This is not a baseball game," he snapped at Weinglass.
Earlier, a defendant in the trial rose in loud protest when U.S. marshals removed his wife from the courtroom.
"I protest you taking my wife out of here," Black Panther leader Bobby Seale told U.S. District Court Judge Julius J. Hoffman and the marshals."She has a right to be here. And I also protest you barring black people from this building..."
The governor took the action as a "precautionary move" to help Chicago and Cook County police control rioters who went on a destructive rampage through the city's near North Side Wednesday night and staged hit-and-run harassing actions Thursday.
The Guardsmen, all from the Chicago area, poured into armories Thursday afternoon, and authorities said they were "ready to roll out at a moments notice." They were not immediately committed to the streets.
Rioters led by a militant faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) attacked police with chains and clubs and smashed hundreds of windows in swank hotels, apartment houses, homes and cars Wednesday night.
The outburst came after marshals ushered a number of black persons, including Seale's wife, into the press section of the courtroom.
Harassed police arrested at least 66 of the radicals in the first wild surge of violence and vandalism. They seized at least 22 others Thursday in an ill-fated women's march on an induction center and a turbulent demonstration in the plaza of the Federal Building.
Hundreds of radical demonstrators—heckled by hundreds of passersby—massed at midday outside the Federal Building where eight persons are on trial on charge of inciting the riots that swept the city during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Nine persons were arrested, most of them after being identified in connection with the Wednesday night rioting.
Some 500 demonstrators gathered later outside the Criminal Courts Building on Chicago's Southwest side. They left without attempting to breach lines of sheriff's police who barricaded the court building and stood guard outside adjacent Cook County jail.
Ogilvie's office said the request for the Guard came from Brig. Gen. Richard T. Dunn, the Guard commander, because of the Wednesday night rioting and the fear further disorders would erupt Thursday night.
An intoxicating new adult game!
"I regard it as a precautionary move, with the Guard initially in the armories," Ogilvie said.
Guardsmen were ordered to report to four armories on Chicago's West, South, North and near North sides. Ogilvie's office said they would be "used as directed" by Dunn.
President Nixon calls Viet advisors
Mayor Richard J. Daley said earlier Thursday he would ask for the Guard if necessary to control the rioters.
Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said the President would meet with Lodge and his chief deputy at the talks with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, Philip Habib, sometime next week.
WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Nixon, embarked on a new round of discussions with his top Vietnam advisors, summoned Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge home from the Paris peace talks, the White House said Thursday.
Nixon also will confer Saturday morning with Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other top ranking military officers. He met Thursday with Ellsworth Bunker, U.S. Ambassador to Saigon.
