By DAVE HANSON State Journal Capitol Bureau Members of the Michigan House of Representatives will approve proposed changes in the handling of junkets because "they realize the necessity of this kind of control." House Speaker William A. a D-Detroit, predicted today.
Ryan said he plans to introduce his resolution on junkets Wednesday when the Legislature convenes its 1970 session. His system would provide for prepayment for the cost of trips by legislators, instead of the current system in which the cost is figured out after the trip. If a legislator goes over his budget under Ryan's system, he would have to make up the difference out of his own pocket in some cases. KEEP TRACK Ryan said the system, in which the speaker's office would be the main control point, would include a running tabulation on what each legislator is spending and the total cost of trips made by House members. Such information is not readily available now, he said.
Ryan said the changes were suggested to provide future controls rather than to correct any current abuses. Concerning a proposed trip by 10 legislators to Australia to study off-track betting, Ryan that proposal needs more study but might be reasonable if Michigan were considering a system similar to Australia's. Parents Expected to Protest Demo Demonstrators' Disciplining East Lansing High School principal Gerald Kusler predicted today that "a large delegation of protesting parents" will attend tonight's 7:30 p.m. board of education meeting. The parents, Kusler said, are expected to protest disciplinary action taken against demonstrators who prevented a presentation in behalf of the U.S.
Air Force Academy in the board room last Thursday. Kusler said today that "some suspensions have occurred and dialogue with parents has been but he would not name specific disciplinary measures that have been taken. He said, however, that action has affected about 25 students. Kusler said the final decision punishment was his responsibility, but added that he had discussed the problem at length with school Supt. Malcolm Katz and other administrators and school board members.
HALT PRESENTATION The students, members of "Students Against ROTC," left their morning classes Thursday without authorization and went to the board room where they interrupted George Pappas, a local attorney and member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve, in his presentation to about students who had arranged through regular school 16, channels to be excused for the program. Kusler said that the students entered the board room and told Pappas they would talk to him about the war in Vietnam and about his political stands, but they would not accept his speaking about the Air Force Academy. When it became apparent that Pappas could not continue his planned presentation, the speaker was escorted from the board room by two high school counselors. Kusler and other staff members then attempted, but failed, to pursuade the demonstrators to allow the presentation.
Pappas requested and received a police escort from the building, but Kusler stressed that the demonstrating students had shown no signs of violence.

Pair Left Homeless In Fire A malfunctioning gas water heater was blamed for a fire that left a young couple homeless Sunday. Firemen were called to the home of Michaeal Brant, 652 Carrier, shortly before noon when a blaze that started under the heater swept through the one frame house. Brant said he was alone in the house and asleep in a front bedroom when he awoke and smelled smoke.
He said he saw the fire starting beneath and around the heater and tried to douse it. In a few minutes the fire was out of control and spread through the floor and up the fibre wallboards. Brant ran out of the house leaving the back door and front door open. Firemen said the draft from the open doors helped fan the blaze and the heat and fire was SO intense they could not enter the house. Deputy Chief Joseph Burtraw estimated the damage at around $7,500.
