William F. Buckley Jr.. America’s most noted conservative spokesman, spoke Tuesday afternoon in Bovard Auditorium on the free-market economy.
He discussed the theories of John Kenneth Galbraith and other economists which hold that economics is the main cause of human action.
“I don’t know of any society anywhere that is dominated exclusively by economic considerations.” Buckley said. ‘‘Many people in America are too eager to ascribe an economic motivation to every action.”
He also discussed former President Nixon’s trip to China and the Vpietaphysical and secular approaches to society.	j

Residential life administrators. in response to a student petition, met Monday night with university residents in an attempt to answer the influx of questions concerning the lottery system being used for housing assignments.
A petition had been circulated Thursday after students learned that, if they wished to return to Men's Residence West and the Women's Complex next semester. they would have to participate in lotteries.
The Office of Residential Life chose the lottery system for housing reassignment when it was discovered that the demand for dorm space greatly exceeded what is available.
The petition called for a halt to all housing assignment processing until students could meet with residential life administrators and an explanation of dorm policies and responses to students’ interests and suggestions were provided.
Within 24 hours the students had collected more than 400 signatures. and the administrators agreed to the discussion.
The men’s lottery, originally scheduled for Monday night, was then cancelled due to an administrative decision to raise the percentage of men allowed to return to their former facilities. The women's lottery, also scheduled for Monday, was postponed until Tuesday.
Nearly 250 students and residence hall staff members were present at the meeting in Birnkrant dining hall.
Karen Chappell, assistant director for residential life: Guy Hubbard, director of auxiliary services; Sharon Kettler. assistant coordinator for residence halls; Hans Reichl. director for student life; and Randy Rice, assistant director of auxiliary services. were also present.
Among the major issues discussed were the acceptability of on and off-campus security, 24-hour visitation for women and board options.
The overwhelming concern voiced by the students was about the new lottery system.
"We tried to make the situation clear from the beginning,” said Kettler. “You should have tried for other places, any spaces available, if you were that interested in living on campus.”
But Mike Morris, head of Mens Residence West, wasn’t satisfied with the explanations.
“Why do present students have less possibility of being housed than freshmen who haven’t paid a cent yet?” he asked’.'Whyis this one need being ignored across the board?”
Hubbard said he believed the university had the right to set a limit and, if students wished to lodge a protest, they should contact President John R. Hubbard
“I think it will receive all the attention it deserves,” he said.
Another student asked what women should do if they weren’t chosen in the lottery.
Reichl explained the procedure.
“If your name is not drawn, come in during your priority period. If you are not selected then, go to the residential assignment office and get on a waiting list. You can sign up through April 11.”
Many women expressed the fear that, if they weren't chosen in the lottery, they would not be allowed to return to the university because of parents who required they live on campus.
“How can a woman live off-campus when she isn't safe on campus?” a coed asked.
Security is adequate if students use common sense. Rice said. “The university provides security to the best of its ability," he said.
Another student asked why women weren’t allowed the same 24-hour visitation rights men have.
“The problem has been pushed up to the Board of Trustees,” Chappell said. “There are proposals for 24-hour visitation in one of the coed halls and in one of the women’s halls. We hope that a decision will be reached this summer.”
Appleton, students discuss Row melee

James R. Appleton, vice-president for student affairs, told a meeting of fraternity and sorority representatives that, although he may personally question some of the tactics used by police in Thursday night’s disturbance on Fraternity Row. the university has little recourse in the matter.
Appleton held the meeting Monday night to discuss causes and after effects of the “Row Riot” that occurred last Thursday evening.
He said at the meeting that he preferred not to put the blame on either students or police, noting that reports as to what happened were not in full agreement.
He said, however, that some students had criticized the police for using excessive force, “and if their information is correct. I'd be inclined to align myself with that camp.”
One student said he sawr guns drawn by the police.
Appleton said if that were true, it was certainly a bad move by the police.
“An officer should draw a gun only if he has to use it, and intends to do so, never as a form of threat,” he said.
But he said that student attitudes toward the police are
“schizophrenic”—they vary from criticism of inadequate protection, particularly in the wake of last September’s double homicide on the Row. to criticism for too much law enforcement when students are arrested as they have been recently.
Representatives at the meeting reported that there had been many instances of harassment on the Row since Thursday night.
A sorority representative reported that of the 75 women in her house. 15 had received tickets in the last four days, for such minor infractions as jaywalking and running stop signs while riding a bicycle.
Others reported that several men had been ticketed for double parking when they stopped to pick up or drop off their girlfriends in front of sorority houses.
Appleton said that he had spoken to representatives ofthe Los Angeles Police Department Southwest Division and had been assured that there would not be undue harassment on the Row as a result of the Thursday night incident.
He said that he would call the police Tuesday to report the apparent harassment and ask that the police show restraint in dealing with the students.

Hubbard said men who requested reassignment to their rooms for next semester during either the first sign up period or the lottery' period would be allowed to stay if they chose to do so because more spaces would be opened up for returning males.
The women's facilities posed a different problem, however. There were 127 more women signed up than there were spaces available, Hubbard said.
“In the past, the university left a certain number of spaces for incoming freshmen and a certain percentage of returning

students were allowed to stay,” he said.
“In previous years this presented no problem. But now we have close to 71% of women in dorms who want their spaces back for next year. That doesn't leave enough space for freshmen.”
Reichl concurred, but cautioned students not to panic. At present no students have paid their deposits, and traditionally, many fail to do so, thereby forfeiting their assignments.
“My guess is that a very insignificant number of women won’t be housed,” Reichl said.
A woman asked why students weren’t informed ofthe possibility of a room shortage earlier, so they could have signed up for the lotteries held several weeks ago for spaces in Birnkrant. Marks Tower, or Harris Plaza.
