Anti war group discusses lack of student involvement. 

The "Committee to End Computerized Death," meeting Monday night to discuss the lack of student involvement in their cause, decided to cancel picketing of the University of Iowa Computer Center because of rainy weather. 
No more than two persons picketed the center at any one time Monday. The group is picketing the center as a protest to the UI's connection with the Rock Island Arsenal. 
The arsenal will pay the university about $300,000 this year for use of the UI computer. Leaflets passed out by the protesters say the computer is used to develop small arms. 
The committee also drafted a letter to UI Pres, Willard L. Boyd and the Computer Use Advisory Committee asking that the contract be broken this year. 
The UI administration has announced that it will stop allowing the arsenal to use the computer in June 1972. 
Discussing ways to get more student involvement in their anti war cause, committee members suggested publishing a newsletter containing reports of all student anti war activities; disrupting UI ROTC activities; and disrupting the Computer Center. 
The committee is not recognized by the university but is seeking a recognized group to endorse a petition drive calling for breaking the UI arsenal tie this year.

March, Rally Set For Tonight 

An antiwar march and a Campus Crusaders for Christ rally are scheduled for tonight on the University of Iowa Pentacrest. 
The antiwar march, which is being held in memory of the Jackson and Kent State student killings tow years ago, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
The march is tentatively scheduled to proceed across the Iowa River to the west campus area. No parade permit has been taken out, Assistant City Manager Tom Palmer said this morning. 
According to Palmer, a parade requires a permit, but not a march on the sidewalk if the march does not block pedestrian traffic. 
The Campus Crusaders for Christ will hold a rally with a rock band scheduled for 8 p.m. The rally will be one of several that organization has held on the Pentacrest this week.

Turner will appear before the board Friday to review his recommendations and again ask that the case be dismissed,
