Mideast warns of By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Israel and Egypt yesterday warned simultaneously that the Middle East war could explode anew over the Egyptian demand that Israeli forces pull back to the Oct. 22 cease-fire lines. The warnings came as the Tel Aviv military command said Israeli and Egyptian soldiers blazed away at one another with small arms fire for about an hour near Ismailia in the central sector of the Suez Canal and near Bur Taufiq at the waterway's southern end. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said Egypt is concentrating its forces and can "definitely" be expected to renew fighting because of dissatisfaction with - the Oct. 24 truce lines. "We have to realize the war is not yet over," Dayan declared in an interview on the Israeli state radio. Egypt warned meanwhile that it might resume the war unless Israel withdraws to the Oct. 22 lines as required by the U.N. truce resolution. And in Damascus, the Syrian radio said Arabs will accept nothing less than complete Israeli withdrawal from the Arab land occupied in 1967 and during last month's war. Newspapers urge Nix By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Several newspapers have called for President Nixon to resign because of growing entanglements in the Watergate case, while others have challenged suggestions that the President is losing the ability to govern.

Ed ucator notes problems The Atlanta Journal, which also supported Nixon for re-election, has called for Nixon to haire the patriotism to resign from office, saying impeachment was too divisive a pTocess for the nation.

By' RICK NELSON Collegian Senior Reporter Although expressing optimism toward higher education's future, a noted educator Friday pointed out a few of the problems that will challenge students, faculty and administrators for the rest of the century. Before listing these challenges, Clark Kerr, chairman of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, said, "These problems are to be posed on top of a basic optimism we ought to have." Kerr based this optimism on satisfaction toward the higher education process expressed by students and faculty, in a 1969 poll taken by the Carnegie Commission. It is a myth, he said, that the average college student is unhappy, and explained the poll found only 12 per cent of the students questioned dissatisfied with their education. He said 23 'per cent of the graduate students questioned expressed strong dissatisfactioi but attributed this to increased competition and job uncertainty. He added 90 per cent of the faculty members questioned said they would choose the same profession at the same institution given the on again. "We build, then, on a very firm base," he said, but added, "There are unusual problems ahead, some very tense situations." He cited increasing tension between student volatility and faculty rigidity as one problem to be faced. He 'said student interest is shifting more rapidly than ever because of an Oops! Coil Aft • liar) the daily "Any continuing feeling around by Golda Meir will only lead to a resumption of the fighting," the Syrian commentator added. The talk of possible renewed fighting came amid intense diplomatic activity in several capitals and was perhaps aimed at the big-power officials trying to arrange a peace settlement. Efforts to reinforce the cease-fire and get negotiations started have stalled so far on Israel's insistence on getting a prisoner exchange before moving back, and Egypt's equally adamant insistence that the pullback must come before anything else. U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger leaves today for a trip that includes a tour of Arab capitals as part of his efforts to bring the Arabs and Israelis together in some peace formula. Against this background, Egyptian government spokesman Ahmad Anis was asked at a Cairo news conference whether Egypt had set a deadline for the Israeli pullback to the Oct. 22 lines. "The withdrawal to the lines of Oct. 22 is supposed to be carried out immediately," Anis said. "The evasion of the implementations of the resolution resign before the nation is forced to go through "the traumatic and divisive process of impeachment." Others. carrying editorials urging Nixon to resign included three newspapers which supported him in the past: the Detroit News, the Denver Post and the Atlanta Journal. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Star and the Omaha World-Herald were among newspapers disputing arguments that uncertain job market, new social concerns and response to new knowledge. He said enrollment in some majors has fluctuated as much as 20 per cent in one year. On the other hand, faculty will remain basically fixed, according to Kerr. He said over half the faculty members hired in the 60s will not retire until after the year 2000. Kerr said not only will this relatively constant faculty conflict ,with student volatility, it also will conflict with women and minority groups employment opportunities. He said while women compose 38 per cent of the country's labor force, only 22.5 per cent of college faculty members are women. He said minorities compOse only five per cent of college faculties while making up 15 per cent of the labor force. "I do not see how it will be possible (to equalize minority employment • in colleges) while maintaining traditional standards of appointment and promotion before the year 2000," he said. Kerr cited decreasing opportunities for the instruction and employment of PhDs as a problem that will cause "many individual tragedies." He said the near constant faculty)will reduce the demand for PhDs. The direction of general education is another question that will face higher educatioj, Kerr said. He said while it is almost a disaster area in some institutions, students probably want a general education more than ever before. by Randy J.

Kerr said faculty members' political conduct is also a problem. i He said while faculty members tend 'toward the political left, hey represent a much broader spectruni than any other group. He said this could lead to divisions among faculty members, and the political rights and duties of faculty should be decided now before a period of unrest developes. I . Another problem cited was a need for increased student participation in decision making. Kerr said the problem would be to get a reluctant faculty to accept this. He- added students are more mature and more familiar with decision-making processes and should haVe a major say in policy decisions. He said student evaluOion of faculty should be considered and that, while students should-not have a final vote in tenure decisions, student opinion should be considered strongly. In a question-and-answer session, Kerr said the Carnegie Commission had supported affirmative action plans to study employment opportunities at colleges and universities but said he regretted some of their excesses. He said one affirthative action proposal called for as mdch money to be spent on women's intercollegiate athletics as on men's.

The resolution was sponsored in the United - Nations by the United States and the Soviet Union. The Oct. 24 Security Council truce called on both sides to return to positions they held as of the Oct. 22 cease-fire that was never respected. Egypt claims Israel grabbed a large chunk of Egyptian land between the two truces. Israel claims no one really knows where the Oct. 22 lines lay, and insists the pullback cannot be considered until its prisoners of war are returned in some exchange with Egypt and Syria. Egypt's top military spokesman, Gen. Izzedin Mukhtar, said at the Cairo news conference that Egypt began four days ago to honor an agreement with Israel on the exchange of wounded prisoners. But he charged that Israel failed to live up to its side of the bargain. He and Anis said' an unspecified number of Israeli wounded actually had been handed over under the auspices of the International Red Cross. They declined to give the total number of Israeli .wounded in Egyptian hands.

The Detroit News, which supported Nixon in his three presidential campaigns, said Nixon should resign after Rep. Gerald R. Ford has been confirmed as vice president. The Deriver Post, which supported Nixon in the 1972 election, said,. "If President Nixon chooses to resign after Michigan congressman predicts Nixon's removal by Christmas A U.S. Congressman Friday offered President Nixon's opponents a Christmas present. Rep. Don Riegle, D-Michigan, said on the question of Nixon's removal from office, "It will happen. I think it will happen by Christmas." In a discussion sponsored by Colloquy, Riegle said, "I think Nixon has destroyed Iligiself beyond repair. I don't think there' is anything he can do to regain the people's trust. "We are witnessing a President who has been testroyed by himself and his people but who is still in office," he said, calling for people to recommend to their congressmen that Nixon be urged to resign or that impeachment proceedings be carried out. Since impeachment is a very slow process, Riegle said coercing Nixon to resign would be - the quickest way to remove him from office. And, he said, more and more Republicans are becoming dissatisfied with Nixon to the point where they, too, are calling for his resignation. He said Spiro Agnew's resignation and the "Saturday night massacre," firings of Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox and Assistant Attorney General William D. Ruckelshaus and the resignation of Attorney General Elliot Richardson, "snapped peoples' minds in their judgments of Nixon." He cited Nixon's falling out of favor with such noted conservatives as Barry Goldwater, William F.

Now they realize they can't afford to defend him anymore since his position is incredibly vulnerable," Riegle said. He asked "Who's defending the President today?" and answered "Hugh Scott is. But Scott was just elected and is insulated from the voters. "I've also heard David Eisenhower, Julie (Nixon) and (Bebe) Rebozzo defending Nixon and that's about it," he added. Riegle said one obstacle to Congress pressing for either impeachment or resignation is the lack of a vice president. "They don't want Carl Albert to become president almost as much as Albert doesn't want to become president," he said, but added if Gerald Ford is confirmed as vice president, Nixon loses this insurance policy against being pressured out. "Most representatives in the House and Senate would feel pretty comfortable with Ford in the White House," he said, adding "They feel he's a neutral force, low to the ground." Riegle said a low-key president would give the nation time to recover from the shocks of the Nixon administration, noting "If Ford is confirmed, I think it would make it very easy for Republicans to urge Nixon to resign." He said one incentive for Nixon to stay in the White House is that he may face criminal liability if he resigns. He explained if Nixon were directly implicated in any criminal activities he could be imprisoned if not in the White House. Photo by Henry Stefans He said the President may offer to step down if Ford, as President, would grant him amnesty. But, he said, "I don't see how Ford could truncate criminal investigations. Nixon may have to hang on to the job to protect himself." To help explain Nixon's motives in his recent activities, Riegle said, "You have to understand the unreal cocoon in which Nixon lives." He said the President receives news from his aides "designed to make Nixon feel comfortable," and receives no television broadcasts except football games. Riegle questioned what would happen if Nixon stayed in the White House. He said with some of the President's former aides in prison, Nixon must realize they may decide at any time to make a deal and disclose evidence against him, if it exists. He asked that if the distress levels get too high, "Does he get sick again?" referring to Nixon's respiratory ailment of last summer. He also questioned Nixon's mental health, saying, "He looked pretty close to the edge at that press conference" earlier this month. Riegle urged people to send letters and delegations to their congressmen uriging them to apply pressure for Nixon's resignation. He said, "Bringing about a situation where there is a resignation should be our practical goal," Since the impeachment process probably would take until sometime next year. "It is in everybody's interest to move him out as quickly as possible with as little uproar as possible," Riegle noted. way Nixon is handling his job as president?"
