THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
New Era for South End Envisaged
in Publications Committee Request
If the publications committee
recommendation was accepted by
the Wayne State University Stu-
dent-Faculty Council Thursday
night, the new editor of the South
End will be John Grant, consider-
ed a "moderate leftist."
The SFC meeting, held after
The Jewish News went to press,
was expected to accept the com-
mittee's recommendation, decided
Tuesday night. But there was "ad-
ditional information" to consider
which could change the outcome,
according to SFC President Jim
Gessner. The SFC normally would
not turn down the publications
committee choice. but such an ac-
tion was not ruled out.
Another important item on the
agenda Thursday night was action
on a recommendation of the pub-
lications committee for creation
of a publications board, independ-
ent of the SFC. which would con-
trol the school newspaper.
The six-page statement, which
had its first reading last week,
urged that, while the SFC pub -
lications committee would keep
control over other student pub-
lications, the South End would
be under the jurisdiction of a
board that would act as pub-
lisher.
the SFC, President William R.
Keast and the university board of
governors. Its members would in-
clude four students and two facul-
ty members.
Gessner told The Jewish News
that such a board would have "a
good effect on the paper and im-
prove its quality."
The controversy over the selec-
tion of an editor, and the ensuing
reports in the daily newspapers,
prompted the Detroit Chapter of
American Psychologists for Social
Action to investigate the issue and
release a statement condemning
inaccurate press reports.
Circulated by Dr. L. J. Stettner
of the WSU psychology depart-
ment. the statement asserted that
an attack on John Grant and
others, was "not part of an author-
ized or concerted policy on the
part of the leadership of the
South End, any other known cam-
pus group, or any of the opposing
editorial candidates . . . We have
uncovered no evidence linking the
attack to any plan of racial or po-
litical intimidation."
- Personal animosity" may have
been involved, the statement said.

South End editor, was cleared
