Restoration of an uneasy peace to the campus came under added pressure of final exams which are only five days off. A tough resolution calling for the firing of university personnel and faculty members who strike the university in the future came during an emergency session of regents at Oakland.

Edwin Pauley, Laurence .1. Kennedy and John I.

Regents sided with Chancellor Roger W. Heyns, who opposed retroactive punishment.

Heyns went into the meeting with overwhelming support from the Academic Senate, made up of faculty members, in his refusal to negotiate with the student strike firoup as long as nonsludents were present. This referred to Mario Savio, a nonstudent member of the committee who was among those arrested last week.

th2 only member not from the Sault. From state capitals to college campuses, in churches, and on highways, millions of Americans remembered Pearl Harbor today on the 25th anniversary of the Japanese attack that brought the United States into World War II. Some of the observances took note of the Viet Nam war. The original group, who used to gather each Sunday at Pearl Harbor, included Harry Madigan and Jack Reinhari of the Sault, and a Mr. Weston of Cedarville, now all deceased.

The eight U.P. men serving in Hawaii in pre-war days would get together on off-duty hours for a ball game and a snack and some talk about their northwoods homeland. At 7:55 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, aboard the battleship West Virginia, Warrant Officer John W.

Allen, bos'n mate of ths watch, was going to get some breakfast, and 18-year-old seaman John Matheson was waiting for the liberty boat, looking forward to a day's shore leave in Honolulu. Allen thought the first planes were making test runs on Ford Island, and Matheson believed the alarm to be a routine procedure. Moments later the burning West Virginia was being abandoned, with Matheson scrambling over the side for the short swim to Ford Island.

Later witnesses are expected include Dennis Hale of Ash- abula, Ohio, the lone survivor the 29 crewmen aboard, and and engineers from the Iorrell's sister ship, the Townend. The Morrell is believed to ave broken -in two before it went to the bottom of Lake in testing the Worrell's hull and Huron Nov.

Doubts about the adequacy of safety inspections were injected into the hearing Tuesday by lawyers representing the families of crewmen. Five attorneys presented 67 questions to Tuesday's witness, Lynwood C. Harivel, engineer of the Bethlehem fleet.

He had testified there was "nothing wrong" with the 600-foot Morrell. Most of the questions were highly technical and brought out the fact that Harivel was not a metallurgist, and that modern techniques such as audio gauging and X-rays were never used City Crews Open Storm Sewers Rain, Melting Snow Blamed For Problems A mass of moist, warm air moving northward from the Gulf of Mexico dropped almost an inch of rain on the Sault area Tuesday, according to Arthur J. Sault Weather Bureau meleorologist-in-charge. Myers said the warm air mass brought fairly stable temperatures during the day, with a recorded high of 38 degrees and an overnight low of 34. Rainfall Was .83 inches, Myers said.

The center of the low pressure system missed the Sault and moved (o the north side of Lake Superior, said Myers, and colder temperatures may be expected in that area. The heavy rain reduced the local snow cover from nine inches on the ground to three inches, Myers said. A combination of the heavy rain and melting snow caused widespread difficulty with heavy water concentrations around snowed-over catch basin openings, cily said'today. Orville Anderson, city street superintendent, said crews worked most of the day and into the evening opening up storm sewers to relieve the backed-up water pools, which assumed lake- like proportions in several areas in the city. This morning repair crews are repairing a broken catch basin lead at Bingham and Portage Avenues.

Anderson said, however, the break was not as result of the heavy rain storm sesvers are in good sha'pe today, Anderson said.

The new money request for Viet Nam will boost the defense budget to between $67 billion and $68 billion for the 1967 fiscal year that began July I.
