Carole Leland, who last week
withdrew her naame from consid-
eration for the position of vice
president for student services, is
apparently not completely out of
the running.
Miss Leland, currently employ-
ed by the College Entrance Exam-
ination Board, met Saturday with
University President Robben Flem-
ing in Washington, D.C. to discuss
the job and student-administrator
relations.
Both Fleming and Miss Leland
said they believed the discussion
was worthwhile. However, t h e y
both declined to go into details.
Miss Leland said she does not
consider herself a "candidate" for
the job in a formal sense. "I don't
want to take the position of put-
ting myself in the running for the
job," she said.
Fleming pointed out that Miss
Leland, as well as the other four
candidates did not apply for the
job but rather were sought out by
the search committee.
The president said he and Miss
Leland ended their conversations
with an agreement to meet again.
He said a date has not been set
for this next talk, nor does he
forsee a time for making the final
selection.
Fleming yesterday also declined
to comment on a statement issued
last Thursday by-eStudent Go v-
ernment Council' member Darryl
Gorman in which he called the
candidacy of Hubert Locke for the
student services vice-presidency
"an insult to the integrity" of the
black community.

By STEVE KOPPMAN
Senate Assembly's Academic Affairs
Committee has released a position paper
on student participation in academic
affairs substantially less outspoken than
the preliminary draft of the paper re-
leased in September.
While the, earlier draft had urged

-Departments and colleges consider
using faculty-student committees to re-
view recruitment policies, and develop
plans for implementation;
-Departments and colleges consider
eliciting student input on policy in the
allocation of financial aid;
-Units not now provided with an

been intended as anything more than
