McGovern presents anti-war bill to senate
Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., has introduced to the U.S. Senate an amendment proposal that, if ratified, would give the Congress the power to directly end the war in Indo-China. The Congress now only has the power to revoke military appropriations.
The bill, which was introduced May 5, is being co-sponsored by 13 other senators, both Democrats and Republicans.
"The amendment would prevent the arbitrary decisions of the Executive by restoring to the Congress, as elected representatives of the people, the power the Constitution intended," read a printed statement from McGovern's office.
If the amendment were ratified, it would cut off funds for military operations in Cambodia 30
days after passage and would require the withdrawal from Vietnam and Laos beginning on December 31, with all forces to be pulled out by June of 1971.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kans., said he is in support of a compromise amendment, which would also provide for giving the President the power to take any action that would be necessary to protect American troops abroad. This bill is known as the Church-Cooper amendment.
Those senators who are co sponsoring the McGovern bill are Mark Hatfield, Charles Goodell, Alan Cranston, Harold Hughes, Lee Metcalf, Daniel Inouye, Walter Mondale, Stephen Young, Birch Bayh, Fred Harris, Gaylord Nelson, Mike Gravel and Vance Hartke.

Student records solution for census tabulations
Student records seem to be the only solution for census officials trying to complete their tabulations, according to Frank J. Odrowski, district director of the census.
About 75 per cent of students in organized living groups have completed their census forms and returned them to their group president, who in turn delivers them to the census workers when they call at the dorms and houses. Other residents of Douglas County are being polled by mail.
Odrowski said the census office was having some trouble getting students to return their forms but, "We've had pretty good cooperation from the University."
Use of student records will be satisfactory for obtaining sufficient information from those students who received the "short form" but those who received
the longer form will have to be counted according to the limited information available from University enrollment records. About 80 per cent of the students received the short form, and the remainder the longer, more detailed questionnaire.
Besides students who simply neglected to return their forms, the grade options are complicating the census takers efforts as many are leaving the campus early. Because of both factors, Odrowski said student records may be the only solution.

The director said census workers were 85 to 90 per cent complete in their Douglas County survey. He is hoping for a completion date of May 27, but is not sure the goal will be met. "We're hoping to finish up as soon as we can," he said.
