Congress Overrules Electoral Challenge W A S H I N GTON (.^—Con gress upheld as valid Monday a disputed electoral vote cast for Presidential third-party candi date George Wallace by a North Carolina elector chosen on a Richard Nixon GOP slate. The Senate voted 58 to 33 to reject the challenge to his vote and the House followed suit by 229 to 169. A negative vote by either chamber was enough to kill the challenge. The proceedings interrupted for more than two hours '.he formal proceedings for count ing the electoral vote and certi fying Nixon’s election. The outcome can have no effect on the election of Nixon and his running mate, Spiro Agnew, who received 301 votes in the Electoral College to 191 for the Democratic ticket head ed by Vice-President Hubert Humphrey. The challenge was launched by Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine, Democratic vice - presi dential candidate, and Rep. James O'Hara of Michigan. They said it was intended to dramatize what they hold is a need for reform of the electoral system to guarantee the wishes of the voters are carried out.

Grand Jury Indicts Student On Draft Violation Charge A federal grand jury in Port land has indicted a University student, one of four Eugene men who refused induction into the armed services last October, on a charge of violating the Se lective Service Act. David Schoenfeld, a 21-vear old graduate student in mathe matics, said Monday he had re ceived a copy of the indictment and a summons to appear in U.S. District Court in Portland on Jan. 15. U.S. Attorney Sidney Lezak confirmed Schoenfeld’s indict ment last Tuesday, but declined to reveal what his office was do ing with the remaining three vi olations. It is assumed that those cases have been referred to Lezak’s office for possible prosecution by the draft boards involved. The indictment against Schoenfeld contends that he “willingly and knowingly failed and neglected, and refused to comply with, an order of his local draft board to submit to induction into the armed forces . . .,” a violation of the 1967 Se lective Service Act. Schoenfeld said he plans to plead innocent to the charge, and indicated that he and his Jones Announces New Publication The ASUO, aiming to increase communications within the cam pus as well as with the com munity, will begin a new cam pus publication soon, Dick Jones, ASUO president, said Monday. Jones said the publication will focus on education and educa tion’s reforms, including pro posals and initiated changes. It will carry an up-to-date report on what’s happening on campus —the services, the programs, what fees are being spent for, and what the ASUO is trying to achieve. “To many people,” Jones said, “the ASUO means nothing. With this publication we want to give it an identity, to gener ate an atmosphere on campus, so that the ASUO will talk to the students for the first time.” The publication will be in various forms such as leaflets, posters, and signs and will also vary in content and format. Paul Brainerd, a junior in per sonnel and industrial manage ment, will work as the main consultant on the publication.

The 1-A classification came when Schoenfeld returned his draft card to his local board in May. Schoenfeld then went through the examination for in duction, but refused to step for ward and be sworn at the Armed Forces Examination and Entrance Station in Portland on Oct. 29. He was arrested by FBI agents shortly thereafter, made a brief appearance before a U.S. Commissioner in Portland, and was released. The three Eugene men who similarly refused induction dur thc October incident are Ronald Ftinke, David Gwyther, and Edwin Larson. None of the three have been arrested. Funke and Larson reported last week that they have re ceived no word regarding the status of their cases from the U.S. Attorney’s office. Gwyther was reported to be out of town, and could not be reached for comment.
