ce and service person than a
sentative of student interests.
How Fleming intends to make
use of the talents of former liter-
ary college Dean William Haber
is still unclear. "It's a little early
yet to tell just what I'll be doing"
says the new Special Assistant
who is well acquainted with Uni-
versity power politics.
"I've been working with t h e
president and some of the vice
presidents on several things , that
are still in the developmental
stages."
Among the projects Dean Haber
is currently working on are the
Martin Luther King Scholarship
fund, in conjunction with Regent
Otis Smith; planning for the fu-
ture of the Flint campus with the
help of Vice President Ross; and
acting as President Fleming's re-
presentative on the ad hoc com-
mittee for the revision on Univer-
sity bylaws concerning student
conduct.
Another new special assistant
is William Cash, who is in charge
of co-ordinating human relations
programs. Cash, who arrived on
campus Sept. 6, says his office is
"still in the process of definition.
I've got to case out the place a
little bit."
Cash characterizes his role as
"sort of a chairman of the board;
keeping the president informed.
creating new programs, and keep-
ing grass roots contacts."
Cash says he may be involved
in all sorts of arbitration where
students or non-faculty staff are
involved. He also expects to work
on recruitment of minority group
students and faculty; the Oppor-
tunity Awards Program and the
Tuskeegee exchange program.
Cash said that the Department
of Defense report charging that
the University was for "rich white
students" stimulated a lot of in-
terest in minority recruitment.
"But, he stressed, "I'm trying to
think of all minorities."
Richard Cutler, formerly vice-
president for student affairs. and
nely appointed special assistant
for urban affairs declined to ela-
borate on the details of his job at
this early date.
William Hays, new dean of the
literary college is also using spe-
-cialized personnel to co-ordinate
programs where the University
has "fallen behind."
The most notable new faces in
the LSA administration are As-
sociate Dean Alfred S. Sussman
and Special Assistant Dr. Nellie
,Varner. Sussman, formerly chair-
man of the botany department,
will co-ordinate planning. re-
search. and plant use for the
sciences. Dean Hays said that the
use of such specialized personnel
in long range area planning meets
ic flair,
the important need of the Literary
College to utilize limited resources
efficiently. "I would like to have
more people to do this kind of
specialized work," said Hays. "At
least in the three big areas---
humanities, physical, and social
sciences."
Dr. Varner, appointed to deal
with curriculum development and
planning is currently working on
developing a Afro-American area
concentration program,
Also appointed associate dean
was Hayden Carruth who will be
in charge of co-ordinating'"gen-
eral administration, budgetary,
and academic matters.
Hays sees himself as a co-or-
dinater in charge of lobbying for
the college in the University, and
keeping track of the many depart-
ment developments.
Cash spoke of the President as
"building a new -kind of admin-
istrative staff, different from any -.
the University has seen before."
iie characterized the process as
"centralized decentralization."
That seems a most apt descrip-
tion of the new technique. Admin-
istrators throughout the Univer-,
sity are trying to give specialists
more work in the hope of greater
efficiency while at the same time
keeping firm control over the
broad policy directions the Uni-
versity is taking.
VP's to consider
SGC's finances
By LESLIE WAYNE
The status of SGC's current financial difficultie5 will be
decided this afternoon by the University vice presidents.
SGC has asked that $7,000 be budgeted from the Uni-
versity's general fund to cover. a $3,000 debt incurred by last
year's Council and for a projected deficit on this year's
budget.
"We have no idea what SGC is going to do if it does not
get the money," Dennis Webster, treasurer of SGC said. "We
may be faced with the possibility of SGC members having
to, conduct a bucket drive."
If the vice presidents ap-
prove the expenditure, Web-
ster claims, "it will have no
problem if brought before the
Regents.'\
SGC redeives a yearly alloca-
tion of $17,000-or 25 cents per
student-from student fees.
"As the student body grows, our
allocation increases," W e b s t e r
added. "However, in the past
years, student enrollment is level-
ing off while our expenses are in-
creasing." /
Last year, SGC expenditures
totaled $;21,000. Expenses . this,
year, not including the debt carry
over, are expected to be the same,.{
Thus, If SGC does not receive+
the $7,000 allocation it will end
the year with a $7,000 deficit.

A policeman was reported criti-

The shooting occurred at the

Earlier, unidentified 'gunmen
shot up three schools a few hours
after the rector of the University
of Mexico resigned. Students were
reported wounded and kidnaped.

Keene Curtis, one of the 18

who made up the original com-
pany says "We've had so many
crises over the past eight' years,
always facing the possibility
that the ,next one will be the
last, that we have developed a
'stoic' realism," concerning fi-
nances.
However, it does seem by all
appearances that this crisis
could be death-dealing. For the
past two seasons, the federal
grant has been a major support
for the struggling company, en-
dowing the APA annually with
$250,000. For every $4.50, the
repertory group raises, the Ford
Foundation has agreed to do-
nate $3.
Although Hambleton says the
company has received $150,000
in pledges since last March, plus
proportionate Ford Foundation
aid, he explains these together

"The only thing that would

Schnitzer, executive director of
the Uniyersity's Professional
Theatre Program. Schnitzer,
who lured the fledgling APA
company here on an unprece-
dented long-term contract seven
years ago, explains APA "loves
it" in Ann Arbor.
Although Curtis indicates the
company will undoubtedly "pull
in their reins now," and work
within artistic limitations," he
talks big about long range plans.
He favors suggestions which
would allow' the group to "gefi-
erate its own income," from the
possibility of an annual motion
picture, featuring members of
the company, to the chance top
move a hit production from the
APA's small off-Broadway

Theatre to a larger Broadway
