Its two crewmen were listed as missing.

(AP) A new formula for calculating University of Wisconsin tuition and fees, holding the promise of lower rates for campuses in Green Bay and Kenosha, was endorsed Friday by UW chancellors. The 14 UW campus heads approved a tuition scheme which would throw the two campuses in with the old Wisconsin State University schools when tuition rates are computed for the 1973-75 biennium. Tuition rates are figured as a percentage educational cost. Pre merger to WSU than schools the were costly run old UW system, which included the Green Bay and Parkside campuses. Another Group The UW-Milwaukee and UWMadison campuses, which are the system's only PhD granting institutions, would be in another group for the purpose of figuring tuition.

What the rates actually will be depends on a series of unknowns. The foremost is what the system's budget will look like it is approved by the legislature. officials said. The percentages would remain the same, but the average costs would come out differently under the new tuition formula. Resident undergraduates would pay 25 per cent of instructional costs, and 'nonresident undergraduates 100 per cent of the costs within the new groups.

Graduate Students Graduate students from within the state would find their tultion pegged at 120 per cent of the prevailing undergraduate Irate in their respective groups, WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court has declined to enter the Democratic party's fight over the seating of delegates to its national convention, leaving it to the delegates to battle it out in Miami Beach: By a 6-3 vote in a rare special session Friday night, the court stayed a lower federal curt order that would have restored 151 California delegates to Sen. George McGovern, giving him a strong boost toward a first-ballot nomination as the Democratic candidate for president. With the convention opening Monday, the court said, there was no time to examine the pertinent issues, including serious questions of the authorlity of the internal courts to decision-making intervene in process of a political party. Settle Themselves In a century and a half of American history, the court said, the national political parties themselves have settled controversies over the seating of delegates to their conventions. In a strong dissenting opinion, Justice Thurgood Marshall said the action of the convention Credentials Committee in unseating 151 McGovern delegates from California and 59 uncommitted delegates led by Chicago Mayor' Richard J.

Daley raised constitutional as well as political questions. dispute in these cases concerns the right to participate in the machinery to elect the President of the United States." he said. The court took no action on requests by the Democratic party, and hearing the to Daley decide forces the cases on their merits. Marshall observed that the request will still be before court when it reconvenes in October. Meet Issue Arguing that the court should meet the issue head-on now, Marshall said if the court, in October, sustains the right of the challenged delegates to be seated, "we would have no choice but to declare the convention null and void and to require that it be repeated." In a statement issued Washington, McGovern said.

"By a divided court decision, it is now the responsibility of the delegates to the national convention to protect the rule of law and the nation's time-honored sense of fair play.

Hubert H. Humphrey was the chief beneficiary of the committee decision to apportion the California delegates among all candidates in that primary. His press secretary, Jack L. Chestnut, said in Miami Beach he was confident the convention would vote to support the delegate split-up. In the twin appeals, the hierarchy was defending the Credentials Committee action in the California case, upset by the lower court, and the Daley contingent argued on the other side that the courts should upset the committee once more and restore convention seats to the Daley delegates.

The lower court upheld the committee in that case, and had set steps in motion to block Illinois state courts from intervening the case. Justices Byron White and William 0. Douglas also dissented from the court's opinion. Although it did not pass on the appellate court ruling ordering the seating of the McGovern and anti-Daley delegates, the Supreme Court maiority said "we entertain grave doubts as to the action taken by the court of appeals." Challengers Chipping Away at Sen. McGovern's Lead MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) Sen. George McGovern's presidential challengers, buoyed by a Supreme Court ruling that tossed the California credentials case before next week's Democratic National Convention, worked today to chip away at the front-running South Dakota senator's massive delegate lead." On scene ahead of McGovern to meet with delegates in this warm resort center were Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S. Muskie, Henry M. Jackson, and Rep.

Wilbur D. Mills. They hailed the high tribunal's 6-3 ruling Friday night. It stopped a lower court from restoring 151 disputed California delegates to McGovern. Preparing to fly here today to take personal charge of his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination, McGovern said in Washington he was confident "the American sense of play will win out in Miami" and give him back the California delegates.

Decisive Impact His political operatives, who spent much of the day planning for the floor fight expected Monday night on the California credentials case, said they expected to win by at least 50 votes in a showdown that could have a decisive impact on the fight for the nomination itself. If McGovern wins the California credentials fight, he would be about 50 votes away from winning the nomination, according to a tally by The Associated Press. If he loses, he would be more than 200 votes short. Predicts Confirmation In its ruling, the Supreme Court in effect reinstated the decision by the convention's Credentials Committee, which voted 72 to 66 to divide the 271 California delegates proportionately according to votes in the June 6 primary, rather than following the state law giving them all to the winner, McGovern. Humphrey's campaign manlager, Jack Chestnut, predicted the convention will "decisively confirm the Credentials Committee report" apportioning the California delegates.

He called' on all Democratic hopefuls pledge support for the eventual nominee, a slap at McGovern's threat to withhold California case leads him to lose the nomination. Muskie, still not directly supporting the Credentials Committee action that had the backing of his supporters on that panel, praised the court, scored "unjustified" criticism of the Credentials Committee and urged, the convention to consider whether its recommendations "insure fair representation at our convention of all of the nation's Democrats." Jackson, who predicted that leaders of organized labor would repudiate McGovern in the coming week, charged in praising the court that McGovern "has been afraid to put his faith in the National Democratic Convention which is made up of delegates 'elected under the very guidelines he Heartened by Decision A spokesman for Mills said the Arkansas congressman was "heartened by the McGovern said in his statement that the decision means "it is now the responsibility of the delegates to the National Convention to protect the rule of law and the nation's timehonored sense of fair play. "We do not change the rules of the game after the game is a shouting group of about 100 over," he added. Also Friday, nondelegates demanding 750 convention seats for groups claiming to represent the poor forced their way into a closed meeting of the convention's Arrangements Committee. And a national business leader said businessmen under represented at the convention as he denounced the draft platform.

while nonresident graduate students would pay 70 per cent of the instructional costs in their group. Tuitions for next year, already approved by the UW re- gents, will range from $482 per year for in-state undergraduates at Eau Claire and Stevens Point to $2,376 for nonresident graduate students at Madison and Milwaukee. The chancellors of the 133,000 student university system also took an official dim view of any increase in college liberal arts programs offered by the state vocational school system. in cooler destroyed the century old Gather Inn tavern off Highwy 163 in the Village of Stangelville about 11:30 p.m. Friday.
