High court
,gives families
advance notice on MIAs
WASHINGTON i UPI i The Supreme
Court held yesterday that the families of
servicemen missing in action are enti
tled to advance notice and an opportuni
ty to argue the evidence before the De
fense Department can declare the men
dead
In a brief order, the court affirmed the
decision of a three-judge federal district
court in New York. That panel ruled that
while the overall law governing the
status of. such men is not uncon
stitutional' families must not be kept in
the dark wilen there is a change.
Judge Challis M Metzner, writing for
the lower court. said relatives must
receive ample, notice that a change in
status is under cons,ideration, along with
access to all evidence on which a
declaration of death is tope based, and a
chance to be heard before the decision is
made final.
The Justice Department did not
contest the district court ruling, and had
told the Supreme Court it now is com
plying with the terms of that decision.
Five New York residents, whose sons
or husbands were shifted from missing
to dead without notice, had sought to
have the entire regulation declared un-
constitutional, forcing Congress to
write one containing - Tlrm safeguards
against such action.
The relatives: , had asked the Supreme
Court last May to bar the Defense
Department from declaring any ser
viceman dead until the court itself could
decide the matter by written opinion.
The court refused.
More than 1,000 servicemen are still
listed as missing in Southeast A'sis, and
next-of-kin receive full pay and benefits
avefaging $1,600 per family until
the serviceman is declared dead.
Many relatives have argued against
death declarations , on grounds that,
should any be still alive in Southeast
Asis, their captors might never release
them.
The Pentagon noted that the bodies of
78,700 Am - ericans lost in World War II
have never been found:
In other actions yesterday, the court
Let stand lower court rulings that
creditors, acting or. their own, may
repossess automobiles in the middle of
the night without advance notice to the
buyer.

Ranee extends hours
for fall,
Pattee Library will be open on an experimental
basis during Fall and Winter Term br4aks, accord
ing to Murray Martin, associate dean of the library.
Martin said that if the response to the extended
hours is good the library will remain open during
future term breaks.
Several years ago Pattee remained open during
term break. This practice was stopped because of
budget cuts.
Resuming this service on such short notice is a
complicated matter, according to Cordelia Swin
ton, head of lending services.
She said a big part of the problem is getting peo
ple to work during a time they had planned to have
off.
She noted however that she was pleased with the
cooperation of the library staff.
Murray said, "We are not expecting a lot of peo
ple to take advantage of the extended hours so ser
vice will be minimal."
He said it would cost the University approx
imately $9,000 to stay open over the next two term
breaks.

Dream plays
to be acted
End of the term frustration, tension and worry may cause
students to dream their strangest dreams.
Friday and Saturday night students can see these dreams
acted out. The shows begin at 8 and 10 p.m. in 112 Kern.
Members of the Dream Theatre cast will enact dreams
related to them by the audience.
The company is prepared to cope with any dream according
to Tom Courtney, director of the Dream Theatre. However.
four rehearsed dreams will be performed at the beginning of
each- show to *le the audience an idea of what a dream
theatre really is.
The 11 actors will use improvisational methods such as
mime and "creating essences of things," Courtney said.
This means the actors would use a human body to portray a
needed prop since no set or scenery is used.
Type theatre is sponsored 13y the Experimental Theatre, a
division of the University Second Season Committee.
The Daily Collegian wishes to
apologize to Balfours and Mur's for
the mix-up of rings in the Mur ad in
yesterday's paper. The ring picture
was that of a Balfour ring and not the
Herrf Jones ring that Mur's carries.
