Nixon orders
more pullout
WASHINGTON - President Nixon, declaring he could
“see the day when no more Americans will be involved,”
announced Wednesday night the withdrawal of 20,000
more U.S. troops from Vietnam by July 1.
But he said U.S. planes would continue to bomb North
Vietnam until Hanoi abandons its offensive in the south.
The president’s announcement, delivered in a
nationwide radio and television address from his White
House office, meant that American troop strength would be
down to 49,000 men within two months.
The new rate of withdrawal was 10,000 a month,
compared to about 23,000 per month under Nixon’s last
withdrawal statement.
Still, the President said his Vietnamization program had
“proved itself sufficiently” in the month-old Communist
offensive “that we can continue our program of
withdrawing American forces without detriment to our
over-all goal of ensuring South Vietnam’s survival as an
independent country.”
Deieats effect Muskie's future
Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine was reported
Wednesday to be ready to withdraw as a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination after his disastrous
defeats in the Pennsylvania and Massachusetts primaries.
Muskie will hold a news conference this morning to
announce his future political plans.
Committee recalls Kleindienst
WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee
voted Wednesday to recall Richard G. Kleindienst to give
further testimony about his role in settlement of the
controversial antitrust suit against ITT, which has snagged
his confirmation to be attorney general.
Committee Chairman James O. Eastland of Mississippi
said Kleindienst would be summoned for another round of
questioning at 10:30 a.m. EST today.
Eastland added that the committee agreed to vote on
Kleindienst’s nomination no later tha 5 p.m. EST today.
East, West Germany loIIs truce
BERLIN - East and West Germany reached an
agreement on road, rail and canal traffic between the two
nations Wednesday night and immediately afterward East
Germany said restrictions on travel through the Berlin Wall
would be relaxed and some East Germans could visit West
Germany for the first time in 11 years.
The East German statement also said West Germans
would be allowed to visit East Germany more freely than at
present.
The travel agreement was announced on the eve of a
crucial vote on confidence in the Bonn Parliament that
could topple the government of West German Chancellor
Willy Brandt.
Delegations renew peace talks
PARIS With both sides making concessions, the Allied
and Communist delegations agreed Wednesday to resume
the Paris Vietnam peace talks today after a five-week
suspension.
The chief Hanoi negotiator indicated North Vietnam is
also ready to renew secret discussions with the United
States.
Xuan Thuy, who heads the North Vietnamese
delegation to the four-sides conference, told newsmen after
meeting for 30 minutes with French Foreign Minister
Maunce Schumann that Hanoi’s special emissary Le Due
Tho “may come back to Pans at any time now” that the
regular talks are resuming.

AU loses two seats in Senate
By JIMMY JOHNSON
Assistant news/feature editor
Action-Union lost two seats in
the Senate in yesterday’s special
election for the C olleges of Arts and
Sciences and Education, while
Evolution picked up the two seats.
The swap occurred in the Arts
and Sciences delegation with the
Education group changing some
individuals hut holding the same
party numbers.
Ben Williams and Woody Fraser
became the only two Student
Senators from the Evolution party at
Dialogue ’72 has been spared
from cancellation for the time being.
The University Leadership Board
met Tuesday afternoon following the
Monday deadline for applications for
admission to the Dialogue planning
committee. At the meeting two
planning committee members were
named.
Tuesday's meeting was to decide
if planning committee applications
indicated enough student interest in
Dialogue ’72 to go ahead with plans
for the three-day conference between
faculty, students and administrators
in September.
“The ULB still reserves the right
to cancel Dialogue ’72 if, in its
opinion, response from potential
participants is not sufficient to
warrant holding the conference,”
said Nick Curry, Dialogue ’71
chairman, who sat on the ULB.
The board appointed Nancy Cline
participant selection chairman and
Susan Parker public relations,
notebook and summary chairman.
Curry said there had been some
feeling among committee members
that there were not as many
Georgia
drug poll
starts here
Some 7,000 University students
were the first in the University
system to take a drug education
survey during third period
Wednesday, according to Jerry L.
Strimbu, of the psychology
department.
The purpose of the federally
funded project is to aid in
establishing some type of drug
education program in Georgia
colleges and universities, Strimbu
said
The survey is sponsored by the
Chancellor's Committee on Drug
Abuse and Sex Education, hi said,
and about >0.000 sludens will be
surveyed within the University
System before the end of the quarter.
the expense of Rick Arnold and
Cathie Oglesby, both members of
Action-Union.
All other candidates in Arts and
Sciences retained the status reaped in
the Apr. 5 SGA election.
Marti Chew and Karen Skinner,
running on the Action-Union ticket,
overcame their defeat in the first
election along with Coalition
member Barbara lladdle, while
Action-Union party members Kim
Cody and Liz Currie dropped their
senate position as did Peggy Meharg
of Coalition.
significant issues on campus now as
there had been three years ago when
Dialogue was first proposed.
The planning committee will
wage a “massive” publicity campaign
promoting Dialogue ’72 in “about
two weeks,” Curry said.
The board will select the other
five planning committee members
next week.
Applications to attend the
conference are available now in 229
Memorial Hall.
THE LOSS of two Action-Union
members from the Senate does not
prevent the party from maintaining
the majority in the legislative body.
In fact, it still claims 40 seats.
Coalition remained steady in its
party membership with 21 as
Evolution picked up two. No
Evolution members had found
victory in the legislative or executive
slates in the Apr. 5 SGA election.
When the senate returns to
business tonight its first order of
business will be the election of its
officers and allocations committee.
The Senate had chosen its officers
and other positions previously
however those choices were declared
null and void by the Judicial Council
last week when it decided that the
Colleges of Arts and Sciences and
Education must hold the Senate
election again because of “certain
irregularities.”
A LARGE change in party lines
in that election would have
overturned previous decision for
senate leaders when the body met
tonight, however with he small
change which occurred the student
legislative orgainzation will probably
maintain its earlier choices.
Standing in particular danger was
Steve Patrick, an independent who
had been chosen senate treasurer.
Patrick had won by only one vote
and a gain for Action-Union would
probably have ousted him. With his
control coming mostly from
Coalition and Independent senators a
change seems unlikely.
The two vote loss from A-U may
affect the Action-Union controlled
allocations committee.

ONCE MORE WITH FEELING
Senators from education and arts and sciences were elected Wednesday
FOR CAMPUS POLICE
Night patrol routine
(Editor's note: Last Thursday, Red
and Black Associate Feature Editor
Susan Barker rode with University
Police I t. TerreU Boy ton from
11:45 p.m. until A a.m. as he made
his rounds.)
By SUSAN PARKER
Associate feature editor
Terrell Boyton flipped on his
blinker and walked around his car,
then he flipped on his other blinker
and checked it, too. He in turn
checked the headlights, spotlights
and brakelights.
Then he checked the red light
on top of his car.
Lt. Boyton is a University
policeman. It was 11:45 on a dark
Thursday night and he was getting
ready to make his nightly rounds.
The large and jovial Boyton has
worked with the campus police for
two and a half years. Now he is
working on his master’s degree
in Public Administration.
As the ranking officer on the
night shift, Boyton is responsible
for the coverage of the campus at
night.
BOYTON SAID the top priority
right now for the University police
is preventing assaults on coeds who
walk around at night. He is also
responsible for the protection of an
area the size of a not-so-small city.
The University Public Safety
Division divides the campus into
three parts West Campus,
including the area from Lumpkin
St. past the big dorms on Baxter
St.; North Campus, including the
area from Gillis Bridge to
downtown Athens; and South
Campus, extending from Gillis
Bridge south to Watkinsvillc, taking
in all the farmland the University
owns here.
Boyton estimated a complete
circuit of south campus would take
at least 40 minutes.
That Thursday there were three
cars in addition to Boy ton's
patroling the campus and one
policeman on foot.
ON ONE of Boy ton’s swings
through the X-zone gravel lot
behind Russell, we could barely see
a shadowy figure crouched among
the rocks in People's Park.
“That’s another campus
policeman,” Boyton explained. We
drove closer and I could tell he was
surveying the Russell Parking Lot
with a large pair of field glasses.
Thefts from parked cars,
Boyton remarked, rank high on the
list of campus crimes.
Occasionally campus police will
come across someone rifling

headquarters and runs a check on
the owner of the car. The owner is
not usually the person they
stopped, he said.
LATELY, attacks on campus
have attracted a lot of attention.
Boyton attributed the increase to a
lack of proper lighting and the nice
spring weather.
Most assaults occur when the
weather is pretty, according to
Boyton. Students are more likely
just to get out and walk.
Shortly after that, Lt. Boyton
was driving toward north campus
along Fast Campus Road.
Just after we passed River Road,
I saw a girl walking unsteadily in
the other direction. Lt. Boyton
frowned and quickly went to the
Reed Hall parking lot and turned
around.
He stopped the police car beside
the girl, and I rolled down the
window and offered her a lift. After
some fumbling, she got the door
open and climbed in. She had been
drinking and was nearly in tears.

Motorcycles hit
by recent thefts
By JON HAM
Associate news editor
live motorcycles belonging to
students have been stolen in the last
ten days by a possible band of
professional thieves, Major William T-
Dean, assistant director of the
University Public Safety Department,
said yesterday.
There is no proof as yet that an
organized theft nng is responsible for
the thefts. Dean said, but the
Department of Public Safety is not
ruling out that possibility.
“WE THINK somebody may be
picking them up and taking them
away in a pickup truck,” Dean said
Campus police caught three men
stealing a bike in this manner last
fall, he said.
All of the bikes stolen in the last
ten days have been large models. A
Honda 750cc was stolen Monday. A
Honda 3SO was stolen last Friday,
and a large model BSA just
yesterday.
The motorcycle theives do not
seem to prefer only darkness. Three
of the five motorcycles were stolen
during daylight hours.
Motorcyclists are urged by the
Department of Public Safety to park
their motorcycles in well-lighted
areas and to always take their keys
out of the ignition when they park
their motorcycle.
ANYONE WHO notices any
suspicious activity around
motorcycle parking lots, such as a
pickup truck whose occupants seem
overly interested in motorcycles, is
urged to call the campus police at
542-1122.
Thefts of this type seem to come
and go in spurts, Dean said Several
motorcycles are stolen over a short
penod of time and then none are
reported stolen for quite a while.
Bicycles have also been a target
for thefts in recent weeks, and
students are urged to secure their
bicycles as well as possible.
