The renovation of Straub Hall into a psychology building is an alternative to the $4 million behavioral sciences building which was earlier proposed but is presently unfunded. The conversion of Straub will cost about $135,000. The building committee also decided on Tuesday to accept a new approach to long-range planning at the University. In the past. University agen cies and the state board made the decision as to the future development of the campus. But the building committee gave interim support to a program which allows the use of a private consulting firm to do the planning. The major effect of the program, said Christopher Alexander, the consultant from the Center for Environmental Structure in Berkley, Calif., is to propose the construction of a series of small buildings rather than one large complex. As an example, he cited a complex of small structures for the College of Education which would cost $1.9 million, rather than the $2.8 million price tag for asinglebuilding. NewGate men apprehended Two former University students who escaped from the Project NewGate house Sept. 19 were captured Wednesday morning in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Douglas Knapp, 34, and Garrette Wolfe, 28, were Oregon prison inmates on school release through the NewGate rehabilitation program. The two men were living in a campus dormitory prior to their escape. FBI agents and Grand Forks police apprehended Knapp and Wolfe at 2 a.m. Wednesday at a motel. Grand Forks police said one of their patrolmen checked the license number of a car the two were in and, after checking federal records, found it was being sought. The records also showed Knapp and Wolfe were wanted in Oregon. Cindy Jaquith: eyes ‘massive protests’ Socialist coordinator raps Demos, GOP “We feel that Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the ills of this country,” said the national coordinator for Young Socialists for (Presidentialcandidates) Linda Jenness and Andrew Pulley at a meeting Wednesday in the EMU. National director Cindy Jaquith explained before the audience of 20 that the only alternatives for voters in 1972 were either to support the establishment Democratic or Republican candidate or vote for a fundamental change in society by supporting the Socialist candidates. Ms. Jenness, the 30-year-old presidential candidate, was a former socialist candidate for Georgia governor and Atlanta mayor. She has been active in both the antiwar and feminist movements. Her running mate, Pulley, is a 20-year-old Black who was one of the Fort Jackson eight, a group of GI’s who were imprisoned for organizing protests against the Vietnam war while still in the service. “We’re going to be campaigning to build the Nov. 6 antiwar demonstrations into the most massive protests this country has ever seen, and to turn the campuses and high schools into centers of an tiwar activity and use them to mobilize every sector of the American population in opposition to the war,” said Ms. Jaquith. “Young Socialists for Jenness and Pulley are active builders of the Nov. 20 demonstrations in Washington D.C. and San Francisco to repeal all abortion laws,” she continued. “We’re going to campaign for the defense of the Attica prisoners, for the implementation of their demands, and to make sure that no Atticas ever happen again. We’re going to take the Socialist Workers Party campaign to the Black, Chicano, and Puerto Rican community, and to working people in this country with a program to end inflation without freezing wages.” Ms. Jaquith said that the first step in doing this was to end the war in Vietnam. The speech was co-sponsored by the Young Socialist Alliance and the ASUO Cultural Forum.
