against the school's interim presi-

students kicked off a week of boy-

ing the dismissal of a history pro }
fessor.
More than 230 of the University's
300 faculty members met Thurs-
day night and unanimously de-.
cided to take a secret vote, by mail,
on a resolution blasting the ad
ministration for its dismissal of
Dr. Robert F. McClellan.
After the meeting, more than
2,500 of the school's 7,000 students
jammed the University fieidhouse
for an all-night sit-in.
McClellan was given notice in<
July that his contract wouldt
be renewed at the end of th
current term because of what the1 ; , ;{
administration called his contro- a
versial off-campus activities and
a 'highly negative attitude toward
University policies."
The Board of Control reaf-
firmed the dismissal Thursday.
McClellan denies all charges.
He said he feels that an attempt

By KEN KELLEY
"The University could appro-
priately consider separating the
Willow Run Laboratories 1WRL)
from the University," commented
Dean Gordon Van Wylen of the
Engineering College last night in
response to a.question at a teach-
in on classified research. "The
engineering school has from time
to time considered this question
and I think it is very possible the
University should move in this
direction," he explained.
"This should not be one of the
goals of the University," Vice
President for. Research A. Geof-
frey Norman contended, however,
"I look forward to the day when
it could even be combined with ex-
isting facilities on North Campus."
Willow Run Laboratories, lo-
cated at Ypsilanti, is a unit of the
University conducting some $11.8
million in research this year.
About $9 million of this is classi-
fied, including a $1 million coun-
ter-insurgency program Thailand.
Vietnam Situation
' Norman continued, "At the tinme
we became involved in the Thai-
land project, no one knew that
the Vietnam situation would erupt
into the situation now existing. We
started the project some years
ago."
The Thailand project began last
year and is scheduled to run into
1969. However, the University had
two previous projects in Thailand
t which expired last year.
Norman was repeatedly asked to
explain what University personnel'
were doing in South Vietnam, Ko-
rea and Germany as a University
publication said had occurred in
1965.
When Norman said he didn't
know, Rune W. Evaldson, director
of WRL, explained from the au-
dience, "We had people visit Viet-
nam to give aid to those govern-
ment agencies that wanted help
on certain questions." In reply to
a query about questions, he replied
they were classified "of course.,,
