Young men who have not registered for the draft can breathe a sigh of relief. The Justice Department this week officially postponed plans to seek indictments against some of the 800,000 who have violated federal law by failing to sign up. President Reagan has not yet decided whether to continue registration, but as a candidate he strongly opposed former President Jimmy Carter's reinstitution of the program.

The Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) met this week after a two-month hiatus. CHUL was scheduled to be replaced by the proposed Undergraduate Council, but when plans for implementing the new student government were put off until next fall, CHUL officials decided to reinstate the groups. Members heard reports this week from Dean Rosobsky on student finances and from S. Allen Counter, professor of Biology, on the new foundation to improve race relations, which Counter directs.

In other bureaucratic news, the Faculty Council this week began considering several plans for improving the allocation of classroom space, including some that would require students to pre-register for courses. No prevailing opinion emerged form the meeting, and council members said they do not expect to make a final decision until mid-winter.
