purr
By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ
Finding it hard to classify himself
a "builder of universities," Stephen
Spurr prefers to accept the lesser role
of "foreman."
With expansion and development of
the University's Flint and Dearborn
campuses high on the Regents' pri-
ority list, the new' vice president and
dean of graduate studies has been
*ven the blueprints for the task, with
instructions to "catalyze" their im-
plementation.
A member of the University's faculty
for 20 years, Spurr expresses reserva-
tions about becoming an administra-
tor.
"I think that any faculty man who
takes on a vice presidency sees that
there are two considerations which
will determine whether or not it was
a good move," he says.

Dearborn
"On the pro side, it provides a bet-
ter platform from which to argue. On
the con side, there is a potential loss
of credibility," Spurr adds. "You be-
come part of the mystical group called
the administration which is instinc-
tively looked upon by many faculty and
students as being in an adversary
rather than in a supportive role."
At Dearborn, Spurr's role is to over-
see the transition of the upper-divis-
ional campus to a viable four-year
program, a job which the vice presi-
dent says will take at least five years
to complete.
At Flint, Spurr is coordinating the
expansion which will be required to
accommodate the increasing enroll-
ment now projected for the next ten
years.
Meanwhile, Spurr remains dean of
the graduate school, a position he has
held since 1964. He has also taken
over some offices formerly under the
direction of other vice presidents, in-
cluding admissions, financial aids, reg-
istration, and records.
Although he says he is "over-
whelmed" by the extent of his assign-
ment, Spurr admits to being accus-
tomed to dealing with such tasks.
"I'm not doing anything substan-
tially different than I have been since
1961," he says.
That year, Spurr, who was dean of
the natural resources school, was
named an assistant to Roger Heyns,
then vice president for academic af-
fairs. Under Heyns, and later under
the current vice president, Allan
Smith, Spurr handled special assign-
ments in the areas of development and
admissions. Not coincidentally, these
are his major responsibilities as vice
president.
Early last year, President Robben
Fleming and Vice President Smith ap-
proached Spurr and discussed the
possibility of his taking on a more
formal role in these areas.
Meanwhile, in late spring, two spec-
ial committees submitted to the Rs-
gents reports calling for expansion
and development of Flint and Dear-
born. By November, regental approval
had been given to the major recom-
mendations of the reports, and Spurr
was appointed vice president with a
mandate to carry them out.
The Dearborn campus was estab-
lished as a senior division college in
1956 on a grant from the Ford Motor
Company. One of the few juniors-and-
seniors-only schools in the country,
Dearborn was intended to serve as an
upper-divisional college to Henry Ford
Community College.
Therein lay its main problem, how-
ever. As Spurr notes, "There are not
enough students who want to go
through that particular program."
And with a critically low rate of en-
rollment growth, the campus has been
unable to secure the funds to upgrade
its academic prorgams, hire more fac-
ulty, and establish viable programs
above the undergraduate level.
The problem facing the Flint cam-
pus is quite opposite. "We're close to
the saturation point at Flint, and de-
mands for enrollment are increasing,"
Spurr says.
Flint College, the major component
of the Flint campus, was established in

Trial in

Final statements
given; Hoffman
to charge jury
By JENNY STILLER
Special To The Daily
CHICAGO - "The hang-
man's rope never solves a sin-
gle problem," Chicago 7 De-
fense Atty. William Kunstler
told the jury as he urged them
in his final argument to "make
the right decision" and acquit
the seven activists accused of
inciting riots at the 1 9 6 8
Democratic Convention.
Kunstler's summation was fol-
lobed by that of U. S. Atty.
Thomas Foran, who called the de-
fendants "evil men" who "cor-
rupt innocent kids for their ow
purposes."
Judge Julius Hoffman will in-
struct the jury this morning' by
9:30. Deliberations are expected
to be lengthy.
Kunstler told the jury, "We're
living in extremely troubled
times," but warned them that the
"enormous problems" of the Viet-
nam war, racism, poverty and the
generation gap "don't go away
by destroying their critics."
He told the jury that "we are
in a moment of history in which
the courtroom becomes a prov-
ing ground of whether we will live
free and die free," and added that
the outcome rested with them.
In particular, he emphasized
the defendents' association w i t h
such acknowledged heroes as
Martin Luther King' and Robert
Kennedy.
Foran, in his summation, argued
that such men would never have
supported the "evil schemes" of
the defendants.
When he mentioned King, de-
fendant David Dellenger's 16-year-
old daughter Tasha said quietly,
"You're wrong, Mr. Foran. He did
support them."
Then she stood up and began
the leave the courtroom. When a
marshall laid his hand on her
arm, Tasha shrugged it off and
stalked out proudly unescorted.
Dellinger stood and said, "That's
my daughter, and I thank her."
Michelle Dellinger, 13, raised
her hand in a fist and shouted
"Right on!" As she was expelled
from the courtroom her father
said "and that's my other daugh-
ter."
As Michelle was going through
the door, out of the line of sight

The graduate students, for the
past three weeks have cited two
key issues as crucial to the dis-
pute, namely, that the reduction in
fellowships will not be adequately
compensated for and that the ori-
ginal decision was made without
the knowledge or consent of most
of the departments nearly 200,
graduate students.
The money needed to hire four
new assistant professors will come
from three sources. $18,000 taken
from the teaching fellowship bud-
get will be added to a $20,000 fund
originally designated for last year's
abortive attempt to recruit one
additional professor. Most of the
$20,000 is presently being used to
support four senior graduate stu-
-dents as lecturers.
In addition $8,000 has been
promised by Rackham, bringing
the fund for recruiting faculty to
a required total of $46,000..
In compensation for the loss of
$18,000 in fellowships, the depart-
ment will receive a promised
$9,000 increase in the department's
Rackham block grant fellowship
fund.
This amount, according to
P r o f e s s o r Samuel Eldersveld,
chairman of the department, was
originally thought of as support
for incoming graduate students.
Its use by the present students,
he said, "can be discussed."
The contention centers largely
over the question of whether or
not some graduate students would
find themselves without the finan-
cial support they had expected to
'receive next year.

"Switch" parking refers to the

The councilmen's proposal
- to be introduced at a Coun-
cile meeting Tuesday - points
to a number of discrepancies in
the present system. Residential
streets are swept once weekly,
they say, but the switch laws
are in effect six days of the
