NO INJURIES:
Bombing
linked to
of
CIA
office
Detroit blasts
By JIM HECK
Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter
Krasny said last night there is. an
"increasing possibility" that the
bombing of the Ann Arbor Central
Intelligence Agency office late-
Sunday night is connectd with six
similar incidents which have oc-
curred in Detroit since Aug. 30.
After conferring with men from
the special investigation squad of.
the Detroit Police Department,
Krasny said that all seven inci-
dents "appear to have the same
type of operations."
The explosion of the four to six
sticks of dynamite placed in front
of the CIA office at 450 S. Main'
St. occurred at about 11:30 p.m.;
Sunday.
The blast shattered all of the
building's front windows, over-
turned furniture inside the build-
ing, dug a three-inch hole in the
cement outside the CIA office, and
shattered windows in neighboring
buildings.
The blast was reported to be
heard as far as two miles away.
Krasny said the bombing "look-
ed very professional," explainingt
that there were no traces of the
bomber Sunday night. "He was
apparently long-gone after "the
blast," Krasny said.
Rough estimates available last
night placed external damage be-
tween $3,000 and $5,000 and in-
ternal damage between $1,000 and
$2,000.
Fleming speech
meets protests
By JIM NEUBACHER
and JOHN GRAY
University President Robben W. Fleming last night called
for greater student participation and condemned student
"violence, coercion, and threats," while over 100 protesters
demonstrated against his State of the University Address.
Fleming spoke at the annual Faculty-Staff Convocation
in Rackham Lecture Hall before a crowd of 800 faculty
members and their wives, and
sity students.
The demonstrators, some of
whom were members and support-
ers of "The Jesse James Gang," a
faction of Students for a Demo-
cratic Society, wandered in and
out of the auditorium while Flem-
ing's speech was going on. They
did not enter as a group until five
minutes before the conclusion of
the program, when they began to
punctuate the president's remarks
with applause and calls of "More
research," and "What about Thai-
land?"
"I take a stand in favor of
greater student participation in
the workings of the University,#
but violence, coercion, and intimi-
dation are not part of that stand."

sure that it is fair to all institu-
tions." Ross added.
Specifically, the report outlined
a formula for "equity" whicn
would assess the cost of individual
instruction at each of four differ-
ent levels: lower division, upper
division, masters, and doctoral -
professional students.
James Lesch, assistant vice
president for academic affairs,
also praised the report as "gen-
erally sound work," but, he cau-
tioned, "Equity is not the question.
First, you make up your n i n d
about what you're trying to do,
and then you try to fund it."
The distinction, as he describes
it. is between simply asking for a
a level legislators have long con-
sidered excessive.
Fleming speculated that in the;
future the University might have
to adopt the model of organiza-
tion employed at the University
of California, which has many
campuses across the state. A stu-
dent applies to the university as
a whole, and although he may
state a preference, he is not as-
sured that if accepted, he will be
able to go to the campus of his
choice.
Fleming then considered the
financial status of the University,
indicating the University faced a
period when competition for state
dollars was tougher than ever.

Cooperider says Chatters is a master of work-
ing "with and for ,a constantly changing cadre
of students."
Arch Gamm, who is inheriting Chatter's posi-
tion, says his predecessor was "born with The
Daily," and has been committed ever since to
the improvement of the paper.
In 1930, Chatters began working for the Ann
Arbor Press, an independent publishing firm
that formerly printed The Daily.
When The Daily moved to its present home
in the Student Publications Bldg. in 1932, Chat-
ters started grooming the new shop. He has
secured five linotype machines, and has replaced
the slow-paced original flat bed press with one
that runs nearly 30,000 copies per hour.
Gamin explains Chatters' latest works have
included an FM radio "to make the cows give
more milk," and soon to be installed air con-
ditioning.
Scaning his years with The Daily, Chatters
