Three of six Univer&ity i dents who dropped their appeals and pleaded guilty to trespass in the Oct. 15 sit-in at the local draft board office are now 1 ing lOMi-day jail sentences. Three others, offered the option of lesser jail terms to ; gin last night or longer terms to be served on weekends, chose to begin serving weekend sentences Saturday. All were fined $50 and assessed costs of $20. ''These monetary arrangements are the same as those made for 28 of the 29 persons , who were convicted by a Circuit Court jury last Friday and sentenced Tuesday. Their jail terms ranged from 15 to 20' days. Jailed last night were Jeffrey M. Goodman, 21, of 1509 S. University, a senior editor of The Michigan Daily from Milwaukee, Wisc; Milton E.
