WILKES-BARRE, Pa.—A medical examiner backed up
Monday a contention that blood was present in the nose
of Mary Jo Kopechne when her body was recovered from
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s car.
Dr. Donald R. Mills, associate medical examiner of Dukes
County, Mass., who originally ruled death was due to drown
ing, said he saw “at least one little cobweb of blood which
clearly came from the edge of the nostril.” However, he
said that was common of drowning victims.
“It was obviously a clear case of drowning,” Mills testified
as a hearing opened on a petition by Dist. Atty. Edmund
Dinis of New Bedford, Mass., to have Miss Kopechne’s body
exhumed. Dinis maintains he needs an autopsy for an in
quest he has scheduled into the death.

day to reduce to a misdemeanor the crime of simple pos
session of narcotics and dangerous drugs, regardless of the
drug involved.

WASHINGTON—President Nixon said Monday his Su
preme Court nominee, Judge Clement Haynsworth Jr., has
been subjected to “vicious character assassination.”
At a surprise news briefing that intensified the battle
over the nomination, which is strongly opposed by labor and
civil rights leaders, Nixon said he would not withdraw the
appointment even if the judge
asked him to. ^m
Leftist student papers
face tighter censorship
By JOYCE ROUTSON
Of the Emerald
Student newspapers are becom
ing more leftist in political tone
and as a result are facing in
creased censorship from their
parent universiities.
In the past two months, three
newspapers, The San Francisco
State College Gater, the Fitch
burgh State College Cycle and
the Arizona State University
State Press, have either ceased
publication or faced sanctions
from administration.
Also, the Wayne State Univer
sity South End was shut down
briefly this summer for alleged
obscenity.
Both the Cycle and State Press
sanctions involved censorship of
articles.
• The president of Fitchburgh
shut down the campus news
paper by refusing to sign checks
for the paper’s printing costs.
The action was intended as a
means of censoring the news
paper for an article by Black
Panther Eldrich Cleaver reprint
ed from Rampart’s Magazine.
• The editor of the State
Press was fired by a faculty
dominated Board of Student Pub
lications, and five of the paper’s
senior editors resigned in protest
in a continuing dispute over cen
sorship of the paper by the
school’s mass communications de
partment.
The dispute centers on a dis
agreement over the nature and
role of the State Press. The pa
per’s editor and student govern
ment—which puts up $29,000 a
year for the paper’s budget—say
it is a student newspaper, staffed
by and written for the students
of Arizona State University. The
chairman of the Board of Student
Publication and the paper’s ad
visor contend the paper is a
workshop conducted by the mass
communications department for
their students’ training.
The editor was dismissed by
the publications board after a dis
pute stemming from a campus
newspaper column criticizing the
publisher of a city paper, the
Arizona Republic, for his de
cision to cease publication of ad
vertisements for X-rated movies.
• The Daily Gater was official
ly suspended by SFS President
S. I. Hayakawa last month for its
criticism oi myaicawa s nananng
of last year’s student strike.
Although financial support for
the Gater was cut off, private fi
nancing was obtained and it has
continued to publish.
In California, the State Board
of Trustees plans to consider
tighter control over college news
papers at their October 28-29
meetings.
Basis for discussion is a ten
page advisory report by State
College Chancellor Glenn Dumke.
Dumke has advocated more cen
tralized control of the 19 campus
newspapers to guard against what
he calls their use of “unbalanced
political propagandizing.”
Administrators at Minnesota,
Purdue and Morehead State
(Kentucky) College have pro
duced similar documents.
The California report, which
admits relying heavily on the
widely-circulated Purdue report,
“recommends the chancellor . . .
insure that each state college re
view and alter or establish . . .
methods of control that will most
likely solve the problems of stu
dent publications without censor
ship.”
NEW ORLEANS —The storm
named Laurie increased to hur
ricane force and shifted its di
rection northward toward heavily
populated areas Monday as thou
sands of Louisiana’s coastal resi
dents began fleeing inland.
There was no way to predict
exactly where, when or if Laurie
might hit shore out of the Gulf
of Mexico.
She was located about 300
miles south of New Orleans, with
winds 90 miles per hour at cen
ter.

WASHINGTON — Senate Re
publicans said Monday that the
next American youths drafted
probably will be selected through
a lottery system which didn’t
stand a chance until President
Nixon “put the heat” on Congress.
“As a result of that kind of
leadership we’ll probably get a
draft bill this year,” said Sen.
Hugh Scott, R-Pa., the minority
leader. “It was dead until the
President put the heat on.”
