Nixon Obeys Order,
Gives Tapes to Judge

Impeach Pickers
A booth in the Temporary Union Huiklint* was
providing post cards Tuesday for students to
write Congress urging the impeachment of Nix-
on. A meeting will be held in Room 120 of the
TUB atp.m. today to organize the Young
Democrats-initiated program. Manning the table

WASHINGTON (AP)-President
Nixon capitulated Tuesday and agreed
to surrender Watergate-related tapes
and documents to a federal judge. The
abrupt and astounding turnabout
came about two hours after the House
of Representatives took the first form-
al steps toward impeachment.
White House chief of staff Alex-
ander M. Haig Jr., the President’s
top aide, discounted the seriousness of
the impeachment move. But he said
Nixon’s reversal reflected a realization
that there was a threat of grave con-
sequences developing in the wake of
recent events.
NIXON SCHEDULED a nation-
wide radio and television address on
the issue for 9 p.m EDT Wednesday.
“This President does not defy the
law,” Nixon’s lawyer told Watergate
Judge John J. Sirica in announcing
that the President will comply in full
with a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
order requiring him to deliver White
House tapes and related papers.
Nixon’s earlier refusal to comply
with the order led to his firing of
special Watergate prosecutor Archi-
bald Cox and precipitated a crisis
of confidence in his administration.

The decision to turn over the
tapes w as expected to ease the clamor
for impeachment. However, House
leaders decided to go ahead with their
earlier decision to begin a Judiciary
Committee preliminary investigation
to determine whether grounds for
impeachment exist.
There also was growing support
in both houses of Congress for legis-
lation to establish a special prosecution
force to replace Cox and assure its in-
dependence from the White House.
Meanwhile, the President’s so-called
compromise plan to give the Senate
Watergate committee an authenticated
summary of the tapes evaporated when
Haig told newsmen at the White House
that the offer had been withdrawn.
Nixon’s agreement with
the committee leaders appeared tenuous

at best almost from the time of its
announcement Friday night. And it was
clouded further Tuesday when com-
mittee lawyers appealed Sirica's decision
to throw out their lawsuit seeking the
tapes.
Then the panel’s chairman, Sen.
Sam J. Ervin Jr., D-N.C., sent a tele-
gram to the President saying his under-
standing of the proposal, to be put to the
full committee Thursday, was far differ-
ent from that described by the White
House.
After Haig announced termina-
tion of tile agreement, committee chief
counsel Samuel Dash questioned whether
the President’s offer “was really a ploy.”
Charles Alan Wright told a news con-
ference late Tuesday that the White House
had miscalculated the public outcry over
the tapes issue.
Vi
Workshop
To Promote
Brotherhood
A student was afraid to use the bathroom
because her roommate was Black.
This incident was cited by Ruben Tenor-
io, Dallas freshman and an adviser to the
Ethnic Affairs Center, as an example of
"general noncommunication" in the dorms
at a meeting of some Ethnic Affairs Com-
mittee members and volunteers Tuesday.
The meeting was held to discuss the role
Ethnic Affairs Committee representatives
would play at tonight’s cross cultural work-
shop for dorm resident assistants (RAs)
at 7:30 in McConnell Hall.
Don 1 anner, dorm director of Clark
Hall, said this workshop is one of a series
aimed at developing professionalism among
the staff.
Lectures, campus resources and re-
sources from other campuses will be used
to try to get professionalism among the
staff. Tanner said.
"The university is kind of maintaining
the sialus quo on campus. We want to go
bey ond that,” Tanner said.
He said the creation of understanding
and acceptance "not just tolerance" is
the goal. "Who knows, maybe we can even
create love among people around here,”
he said.

(SGA) elected Joseph McAnally, Denton

man, Chairman of the SGA Committee
on Committees.
In other action, the assembly approved
the nominations of Stephen Said,
Denton junior, and John Trojacek, Dallas
graduate student, to the NTSL Supreme
Court.
The assembly also resolved to “condone
and support the initiation of impeachment
proceedings against President Nixon and
urge all interested parties to write or wire
their congressman to this effect.”
Mike Simpson, SGA president, an-
nounced that a meeting of the campus or-
ganization heads would be held today at
3 p.m. in Room 120 of the Temporary
Union Building (TUB) to write an en-
dorsement of the initiation of impeachmenr
proceedings against President Nixon.

Comedian Sahl Plans
Homecoming Program
“The more you stand still, the more
people accuse you of changing,” says
Mort Sahl, who will appear at 8 p.m.
Nov. 7 in the Main Aud-
itorium at North Texas State Univer-
sity.
The comedian’s appearance is a
part of the NTSU Homecoming Week
(Nov. 5-11) celebration, and is spon-
sored by the Forum Committee of the
NTSU Student Activities Union. The
forum is open to the public at no
charge.
Sahl believes that his brand of hu-
mor hasn’t changed since the 1950s
when he began at San Francisco’s
hungri i club. He just believes his tar-
gets have changed.
By 1900, he was the first comedian
to do record albums and college con-
certs, and he has appeared as a guest on
32 network television talk shows.
After an appearance in Oklahoma,
the Tulsa Daily World review of Sahl
noted, “Political satirist Mort Sahl
kept a packed house in stitches at the
University of Tulsa. The overflow-
crowd roared its approval as Sahl di-
rected his brand of sharp humor at every-
thing from the administration to the
Black Panthers and what he termed
‘Hollywood liberals.’ ”
