demic year. The decision to limit enrollment, by cutting admissions
of transfer students; was made yesterday by Vice-President for Aca-

By JILL CRABTREE
First of a Three-Part Series
In October, 1966, Walter
Greene of the Defense Depart-
ment Contract Compliance Of-
fice in Detroit filed a confi-
dential report in which he list-
ed 16 recommendations to im-
prove employment opportuni-

is still largely decentralized
and sporadic.
In a recent survey of all
University academic depart-
ments conducted by the Uni-
versity Steering Committee on
the Development of Academic
Opportunity, 31 responses were
received. Of these, 25 stated
the departments had made "no
special effort" to recruit Negro
staff, 18 stated they proposed
no special efforts, and two said
special effort to recruit Negro
staff was "distasteful" and'
"improper."
There were six departments
which vnep tehd v hnamade

Such an office would also in-
clude channels for processing
discrimination complaints.
These recommendations have
been communicated to Flem-
ing, who has promised to meet
with the Steering Committee
within a week to work out de-
tails. Fleming himself has sug-
gested the possibility of giving
the present committee an ex-
ecutive director who would be
resnonsible to him.
The Regents must give final
approval on plans for such an
office. Fleming has indicated

President and Chief Financial
Officer Wilbur K. Pierpont
suggested a three-man staff be
appointed for the purpose and
made responsible to him.
Eventually Briggs' position
was created, responsible not to
Pierpont but to Personnel Of-
ficer Richard Reister. Existing
staff in the Personnel Office
were given recruiting duties in
addition to their regular jobs.

If however, the North Vietnam-

Challenges Johnson
McCarthy is challenging Presi-:

cratic primaries for the 1968 presi-

against Johnson has been primari-
ly based on the president's han-
