ROTC AFTERMATH
5 students suspended
By AL FLORES
The university confirmed yesterday that five students were suspended for the part they took in the takeover of the Air Force ROTC building on May 10.
Although approximately 35 students occupied the building, only five were identified and therefore suspended.
When asked if more students would be suspended. Daniel Nowak, vice-president for Student affairs, replied “No comment.” However, Nowak did admit that investigations are continuing.
A list of the five students was read yesterday to a small group of those involved in the takeover by Alvin Rudisill. university chaplain, who acted as a go-between for both President John Hubbard and the students.
The list was not made public.
The case has been referred to the Student Behavior Committee by President Hubbard. Meanwhile the five suspensions
have been postponed temporarily until the case is reviewed by the Student Behavior Committee. No date has been set.
In a meeting held at noon between Hubbard. Rudisill, and some of the students, Hubbard designated Rudisill to pick up the list of suspended students at Nowak’s office and present it to the group. Hubbard said he would accept the names of others who wished to be identified as being in the ROTC building. He also said he would review the case after the Student Behavior Committee had acted.
After being informed by Rudisill ofthe five suspensions the student group decided to get signatures on a petition from others who were involved in the takeover but not suspended.
The petition will be turned in to President Hubbard for two reasons: first to show that the unsuspended students support and stand beside those suspended, and second to offer
themselves for suspension because they don’t feel it’s right to discriminate against only five.
Jerry Reitman. former Student Court justice and one of the 35 who took over the ROTC building, said “If they try to enforce the suspensions there’s achance itcouldgotothecourts. They didn’t know the^vast majority of those who were there. The only way they could do it (suspend students) is by selective enforcement and that’s unconstitutional.”
Reitman said that on May 10 Nowak said it was all right for the students to stay in the ROTC building until 8 a.m., and that “we would be guests of the university.”
But, Reitman said, after the news media left Nowak came back at about 4 a.m. and said that if they students didn’t leave the building in 5 minutes they would be suspended.
Women’s group raps appointee
By KAREN HOWZE
The Commission to Study the Status of Women at USC has requested that President John Hubbard rescind the appointment of C. Wilson Whitston to the newly-created position of director of per-sonel administration for the university.
According to a memo received by members of the commission, the appointment was made the same day that the position was made public. The action is in direct violation of federal guidelines and the Affirmative Action Program espoused by USC.
The commission’s resolution stated there was no announcement ofthe establishment ofthe position before it was filled and no solicitation for applications was made from within the university. The present director of the Affirmative Action Program at USC and the personnel director of the university employment office were not informed of the position nor commissioned to have the announcement placed on their employment listings.
The commission decided at its Monday luncheon meeting to informally meet with President Hubbard to discuss the matter and learn the university’s intentions regarding Affirmative Action and USC.
In connection with the university’s May 11 action and the new position, it was learned that Barbara Shell, USC’s equal opportunity officer, would be placed under another administrator when the federal guidelines explicitly state that the officer will be directly responsible to the head of the organization or body involved.
It was also pointed out that the president went to great lengths to point out that Shell was directly responsible to him at an earlier meeting with the Minority Affairs Commission sub-committee on Affirmative Action in the presence of Shell and Dean Daniel Nowak.
In the same meeting the commission announced the second of a series of open meetings which will be held Monday, May 22 at noon in the Student Activities Center.
The meeting will be held to present the draft report of the administration subcommittee before it is submitted for the June 1 report to the Labor Department.
The commission urged that all women attend the meeting and express their opinions of the report.
After the Monday noon meeting, the commission will meet to make any changes in the report that may be necessary.
The report in its present form shows there are presently 17 women in administrative positions out of 160 positions within the university. It also states that despite the recommendations from the president to alleviate this imbalance, five appointments made to top level positions here were not women.
In the light of the facts and figures presented in the document, the commission recommends that by June, 1977, women represent 33% of the academic deans, 33% of the department heads. 33% of the vice-presidents, 50% of the associate vice-presidents and 33% of the associate deans. The figures represent goals to be achieved through hiring as vacancies occur within the existing programs or as new positions are created at each level. The commission also recommends that all university commissions, committees and task forces be representative of the total university population by September 1, 1972, making women one-third of the total membership on these university organs. The total number of women as chairpersons also should be brought into proportion to their total representation on faculty and staff by June 1. 1972, the committee said.
A plan for action was submitted with the report which outlines equitable recruitment, promotion and repair of current inequities with an additional section directed toward action and the commissions, committees and task forces here.

Conservative runs for GOP nomination

While a sea of liberal dissent plagues the Nixon administration, the candidacy of Rep. John Ashbrook (R-Ohio) has created internal conflict within the Republican Party-.
Representing conservative dissatisfaction with the nation’s state of affairs, Ashbrook has accused President Nixon of breaking campaign promises and endangering the national security. His purpose of staging a national campaign for the 1972 Republican presidential nomination is to reverse the “leftist drift” of the Nixon administration.
“I can’t help feeling that many Americans would welcome the
opportunity to remind Richard Nixon ofthe solemn promises he made during the 1968 campaign and of the very deep concerns of the people who put him in the White House in the first place,” Ashbrook said. “It is because the promises have been so largely abandoned that I am declaring my candidacy.”
Ashbrook is particularly critical of Nixon’s economic programs. He accused the President of having broken pledges to lower federal spending, approve a guaranteed annual income and wage-price controls.
“In 1968 candidate Nixon spoke about the ‘urgent necessity to cut the federal budget in the neighborhood of $8 billion,’ ” Ashbrook said. “Since taking office the administration has not cut the federal budget one nickel.” The administration has increased the federal deficit by $63.5 billion and has projected an estimated deficit for the coming fiscal year that will
increase the total amount to billion, he said.
Ashbrook said Nixon has failed to maintain American military superiority over the Soviet Union and has scrapped anti-Communist positions to cultivate an “illusion of detente” with the Communist world.
“I am deeply disturbed over the Nixon administration’s basic continuance of the weak defense policies ofthe Kennedy-Johnson years. This policy is allowing Russia to become the most powerful military country in the world,” Ashbrook said.
“President Nixon has followed a policy that calls for sufficiency rather than superiority over Russia,” the Ohioan congressman said. “His failure to exert the necessary presidential leadership has endangered our national security.”
Ashbrook, a past president of the Young Republicans, said Nixon has reversed his former foreign policy position by
JOHN ASHBROOK
“leading the triumphant charge of the Red Chinese into the United Nations as Free China, our ally of 30 years, was cynically expelled.”
He decried the President’s advocacy of welfare reforms that include the Family Assistance
Plan, which Ashbrook said “would more than double the nation’s welfare rolls by means of a guaranteed annual income financed out of the workingman’s pocket.” Ashbrook offers training and education as solutions to the welfare problem.
Elected six successive terms to the House, Ashbrook believes the Republican Party must never abandon its principles and become a carbon copy of the Democratic Party. He said Nixon has ignored his campaign criticism of inherited Democratic programs and has permitted their continuance.
Ashbrook entered the New Hampshire and Florida primaries in which the New York Times estimated he spent $60,000 in comparison to liberal Rep. Paul McCloskey’s $185,000 and Nixon’s reelection staffs $225,000.
He entered the races late and suffered from being relatively (Confirmed on poge 3)
