"No one suggests such discus, sion be forbidden, and each professor is ultimately his own judge of what can properly be included in his own course as relevant to its stated purpose, he said. However, with the state of near unanimity in the condemnation of the war and President Nixon on the part of the academic community, special care must be taken to protect the rights of those who do not share the prevailing opinion as well as those who, whatever their public view, are unhappy because they are not being taught the subject for which they enrolled.

Thats what they used to do and theyd register them if necessary.

Hanrahan, Cook County (Chicago) states attorney made the announcement Friday, a week after the release of a report by a federal grand jury which said the raid was "poorly planned and executed and the evidence mishandled. The prosecutor also said police procedures in his office will be changed to prevent the er-rors criticized by the grand jury investigation.

He acknowledged that "certain mistakes were made in gathering evidence aft. er the raid, which was initiated Dec. 4 in a search for illegal weapons. Hanrahan said emphatically he would not resign. Civil rights groups had called for his resig.

In 1956, Don Baker, 13, and Brenda Howell, 11, failed to return from a bicycle ride in the hills.

They were never found. In 1968, Gary Rocha, 16, was shot dead in his home. In 1968, Roger Madison, 16, disappeared. Last May, Donald Allen Todd, 13, was found shot dead in a gully, his clothes stacked neatly nearby. And last March a 51-year-old construction worker, Mack Raj' Edwards, walked into a subur-ban police station and said he had kidnaped three girls.

He surrendered, he said, because one got away and he figured she would lead officers to him. "Im glad they got away, po-lice quoted him, "because it would have been nine instead of six.

Edwards had lived quietly in the San Fernando Valley suburb of Sylmar with his wife and teen-age son and daughter. His neighbors called him friendly.

His only arrest was in 1941, for vagrancy. Police are trying to determine if Edwards is linked to other disappearances between 1956 and 1968. The Los Angeles Times said police think the total might be as many as 22, although Edwards lists only six. He was charged with murder only in the Nolan, Rocha and Todd deaths, because those were the only bodies found. Edwards attorney called his client a "monster" but asked for a sentence of life imprison, ment.

Edwards said in a presentenc-ing interview: "My attorney got a bit mixed up and pleaded for my life. Thats not what I want. I want the chair; thats what Eve always Edwards expressed no remorse in the interview, but said when asked why he turned himself in; "I couldnt eat and I couldnt sleep.
